   It would be nice If the upgrade advisor would work under the MS XP Pro x64 OS. I tried the advisor under XP Pro x32 on My other PC and It worked very good after I installed another program that the advisor asked for.

   Vista RC1 won’t upgrade Beta2 even though Upgrade Advisor gives system green checkmark. Beta2 has been running perfectly for over three months. During RC1 install over B2, I get this error msg: IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers: Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers need updated drivers.
   
   If they’re good enough for Beta2 and Upgrade Advisor, then the drivers should be fine for RC1.
   
   Any advice? Thanks. I appear stuck until January unless someone has advice. Microsoft said they are not supporting RC1 technical issues.

   Hey Jeb:  it's more likely that you need to do a clean re-installation of the OS instead of an upgrade in this case; I'm not sure what the exact cause of the issue may be, but I do know that a clean install will get around any driver issues that you might be experiencing.
   
   I'd suggest using Windows Easy Transfer to effect your clean installation in order to save settings and documents.  There's a set of instructions for upgrading at:

   Hey chatou_7:  not sure if you've taken into accout the system requirements of the tool, which are detailed here:  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/faq.mspx -- this info may help resolve your issue.  If not, I'd suggest following up with a post to our newsgroups for support.

   Hi Nick,

   Sorry for bothering you but I'm not used to blogs.  I am actually searching for a solution with my problem.  Hopefully you can redirect me to the proper procedure on how to get help on my problem.  I bought a new computer HP pavilion with a windows vista installed.  I have a PC game for my autistic kid CARS by THQ which was running before on windows XP.  I tried to install it in the new computer but it's not working.  Package says it's for windows XP/2000. Website of THQ says the same, is there a patch that I can use to resolve the incompatibility of softwares previously running fine with XP but doesn't work with Windows Vista.

   Hopefully you can help me or redirect me to how to get answers.  My email address is marlonvicky@netscape.net.  Thank you in advance.

   Sincerely,

   Marlon

   Hey MSM/Marlon:  this blog is not the best place for you to get technical assistance; I'd suggest directing your inquiry to our public newsgroups, which you can find here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/.
