Default Vista upgrade from XP SP2

I don't know what build it is, as its at home, its from December, i assume is
5381, i will confirm later. However, after installing ( all 6 hours ), i
can't browse anything, windows simply flash up and close instantly after
double clicking, i can't run any programs either, i have tried to browse to
the root of C:\ but i can't unless i browse through the supplemental driver
upgrade program which is looking for D:\drivers, which isn't on the Technet
DVD i got.

Cheers, any HELP! would be muchly appreciated,

Bryan

Try a later build such as the February CTP 5308 x86 which supports upgrading
from XP SP2. The build you are running is build 5270 (December CTP), this
build does not support upgrades.
