Hello Group,
This topic may be stretching the boundaries of a pre-press group and I know there's a zillion Google topics with the same subject line - that's precisely why I thought I'd try here.
While there are tons of home remedies via Google (I've tried several) I haven't been able to find a definitive solution. It also appears many of those people posting via Google have about reached their breaking point as well, so at least I have company.
I've reinstalled Vista Home Premium for a friend on her computer and more often than not it will freeze before Windows actually gets to start. It freezes at various stages of the start up.
Windows will eventually open after manually shutting down & restarting and once open will run what I presume is normally for this OS.
Does anyone have any tricks or solutions to share?
I've reached the point where I think wiping the drive again and installing my own version of XP Pro would be the best solution. I really didn't want to start all over again though, seeing as I've already reinstalled all her software etc.
In closing . . . I would die rather than use Vista all the time. I have never experience anything like it in all the time I've been computing.
Thanks for listening
Keith
