When I try to upgrade it keeps getting stuck on this green bar sliding across the screen after it restarts during instillation. Does anyone have a clue why this keeps happening?

just leave it for like ten-thirty minutes, it will go

This happened to me once, but restarting the installation fixed it.

If you are installing 64-bit, try installing the 32-bit version.. i've heard so many people not being able to install Vista 64-bit, and it seems there is no workaround until microsoft fixes this..

yeah i got the 32 bit version, i would think somone would have problems upgradeing from 32 bit xp to 64 bit

Murlocke

So you are installing a update version, not the full installation version?

Well in that case have you tried a fresh format of XP and then installing Vista right after?

Thats the only thing I can possibly think of doing, sorry

I had troubles upgrading. Didn't try doing a fresh install, but someone suggested that.

I could do a fresh install or install vista the regular way but I have no way to backup whats on my hard drive so I cant do it without eraseing all of my hard drive, oh well I guess I can figure it out sometime soon
