Windows 7 problems
Im installing windows 7 on my laptop and having some problems.
It all installs properly up until the final upgrade disc. It does the file transfer of all my old files properly, then when it goes to finish the last
upgrade it all stops.
The screen comes up with my old desktop background, but no toolbar or any icons. We cant do anything, it wont boot up in safe mode, when we try it
just goes back to the desktop backgorund again. If we try ctrl alt del, the screen just goes blank.
WE had the same problem yesterday, after which we just recovered it back to before starting the upgrade then to try again and it has done the exact
same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mikkel

A clean install is when you wipe your drive at the time of installing Windows. If you only have an upgrade version your probably need your Vista disk
at the same time.

IE create a folder, rename it
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
and you get all the available functions in one directory.

weve tried again, and its when we come to install all the drivers that it crashes.
Could it be some corruption on the upgrade disc? Its an acer laptop
