Hi I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this one? I have just put a new motherboard, an Asus A8V, in my spare desktop PC, ...... alright, not one of the latest boards. The processer is an Athlon 3.5GHz and I have 2 gig of ram. The problem I have is I can�t install Vista Ultimate, as I run dual boots on my PCs I installed XP first and no problems at all, but when I try to install Vista everything slows to a crawl. The part where it expands the files goes on for hours and hours, I left it running a whole day and it took seven and a half hours to complete the install but on the first update it froze and various reboots didn�t help. I have tried another DVD rom in case there was a problem there but still the same. I�ve also updated the bios and searched for vista drivers for the motherboard on various sites with no luck. I have now run out of ideas, help! Forester :confused: -- forester Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

There are NO Vista drivers for the mobo. If the mfr doesn't have any, noibody does. You have only one choice if you want to run Vista: get a different mobo. |

That mobo has the VIA K8T800 Pro chipset...and you might get lucky on the VIA website and find Vista drivers.. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/vista/#chipsets peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.
