I'm trying to update to V. Ultimate, and after inserting the upgrade cd and
running the program from Windows, I find that the Upgrade option is disabled,
leaving me only with the clean install option.

Can anybody point me to some directions for an upgrade installation, since I
don't want to do a clean one and lose my programs and files.

Thanks in Advance

If Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista is currently installed,
you'll need to uninstall it before upgrading to Ultimate.
