i have a
abit AI7
3gb crucial xms ram
40gb hard drive
i install it from the dvd and it gets to the funky background, then freezes
and restarts in a loop.

I tried installing it as an upgrade to winxp and as a new install and it
will go through the full install and at the end when its about to get to the
log in screen it says that it didn't install correctly and reverts back to xp.

any ideas

Is you machine overclocked? Do you have your memory running at an
"optomized"/"overclocked" speed?

Probably errors on the DVD you installed from. Try burning another at
the lowest speed you can and burn it on the DVD drive you intend to
install it from to avoid minor inconsistancies between one DVD Drive
and another.

I'm having the same issues! My first attempt to install gave me an error code
800703EE, which means it thought I didn't have the authority to upgrade. On
my second attempt it did exactly as you described, Joe. What gives?

Sorry about the multiple post. The site told me that my replies had failed. I
guess it was wrong.

It's the web-based newsreader you are using. Try using the newsreader in
Vista Mail. The Vista newsgroups are already set up for you. All you have

Is your BIOS up to date?
