Vista wont boot up?

Question

I'm trying to install vista and it goes through everything then, it wont boot up to the main screen, it just keeps asking me if I wan't to boot it on the DVD or CD. Safe mode doesn't work.. It just loops around. Restarting after the green progress bar goes... it doesn't even show the vista logo on the boot screen.. Help please

i have 2 gigs of ram thats not the problem. i do have a high end system

Answer 1

Make sure you set your BIOS to boot from your DVD drive, there are cases where a clean install by booting from the install disk is the only way to install Vista

Answer 2

Oh dear, another one licking the dust,
did you not do any research into Vista before you bought the darn thing, Vista needs a high end system like minumum a 512 meg of ram a gig preferably , a high end graphics card with minimum 128 meg of on board ram,

now you may have to go out and up grade your computer to run it. and after that there are more bugs in it than there are ants in a ant mound, know what I mean, some of your software will not run also, and you can't take it back cause it is opened software,

So what's the best thing to do now, sell it to some other fool, who knows no better, you now know better,

Here is what you do, you get yourself a better operating system than Windows XP or Vista and move up in the world, you get this operating system for FREE and all the other software that you will ever need, by downloading it, or you can buy it at around $20.00 off the internet.

check out the links below, do some home work and research into Linux windows it is more secure, faster, better supported, and best of all everthing is FREE to download off the internet,

Dell, HP, Compaq, and Gateway have been using Linux for years, in their businesses systems, but not said anything to the home users, now they are going to start installing Linux on their home user systems
