Windows 7 Rolls Back to Vista During Upgrade... Blues!!!
Allo! Right straight down to it then. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit and want to Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. Now, before I get into this, please don't Advise or Recommend me to do a 'Clean/Custom Installation because this is Out Of The Question! Now, I've tried about 30 attempts to upg to W7 and every single time the installation completes itself to 100% then reboots for the first time, the system restarts itself and then reboots again into roll back to vista mode!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!! Theres no reason why it shouldn't work. So after careful pondering, I've sussed out that my system is taking 3-4 MINUTES to boot!!!! I turn on and load up to the logon page, type in my password then the desktop appears, shortcuts appear, taskbar appears then freeze! 2-3mins go by then booting resumes and 3-5 seconds later I'm in. There's clearly a serious problem here! I think it's driver related, I think theres an answer in the event viewer. The thing is, I dont know how to read and translate the results in the event viewer which will tell me where and why boot up is soooooo time consuming. Its a driver, which one and where elude me. SO, I cure this problem, Windows 7 will upgrade and run perfectly. As you can read, the psyciatric treatment for my W7 roll back blues is helping so far.... can you help me please?
Thanx in advance
