I know how you can fix it. Erase vista and install linux or mac.

I burned my first Vista DVD (build 5308) and it would crash during setup on ever PC I tried. I reburned it at a lower speed and then it worked just fine. I installed it on two computers so far and it works just fine, somewhat fast, and fairly stable. Specs are:

 

Computer 1

Dell Inpriron 6000 Notebook

Petium M 1.8GHz Processor

512MB Memory

ATI Redeon x300 Mobility (128MB Graphics Memory)

60GB Hard Drive (20GB dedicated to Vista)

CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive

 

Computer 2 (This PC also runs Mac OS 10.4.3 on a diff HDD, 10.4.4 is 95% done DLing)

Soyo P4VTE Motherboard w/ On-Board Sound

Celeron D 2.93GHz Processor

768MB Memory

ATI Radeon 9550 (128MB Graphics Memory)

DVD-RW Drive

40GB Western Digital Hard Drive

 

Both machines had full graphics support with Aero Glass and Flip 3D and whatnot. Explorer crashed about 3 times total between both machines during the time I used it all day, but when it crashed it started back up and was back to normal in about a minute. Also, Windows Update downloaded the new DVD codec pack and so I was able to mess with the Windows DVD Creator built in. If I can get my capture card to behave I may record some movies of it in action. The Celeron machine only had one major issue with speed and that was when using Media Center. When I tried to view TV with the downloaded DVD codecs, it looked blocky and only ran at about 2 frames per second and became extremely unresponsive. I am going to try to install the nVidia DVD codecs and see if they work any better.

 

I would suggest a reburn of the DVD maybe to see if that helps take care of the problem, as it did in my case. Good Luck!

You got an ATI tuner to work in MCE in Vista??? From everything I've read, this is impossible, and driving me batty (Radeon AIW 2006/9600 here). Please elaborate :thumbsdown_anim:

I am digging this up to answer a question I left hanging back in August (sorry).

 

Just for clarification, the Celeron Machine Has a Radeon 9550, not an AIW. I forgot to mention that it had a Happauge 150MCE Tuner Card in it, that is what was being slow. To today there is still no way to Use an AIW in a MCE machine (vista or XP.) They have to be MPEG2 Hardware Tuner cards with specific drivers to work with MCE.

 

In retrospect, it is interesting to see how far Vista has come since this post. I have been running Vista on my main PC (neither of those listed) and it has yet to crash. It does get a tad slow when I have a bunch of apps open, but that sjust Windows. It seems to be as fast as XP. I haven't tried my AverMedia 1500MCE capture card in Media Center yet, but I am goign to make a post on the Vista forum about it when I get to it.

The simplest route is usually the best one: try re-downloading Vista RTM and burn a new disc using the slowest burn speed. For the heck of it, choose a different torrent other than the one you initially used. Try to avoid the "combo" or "pre hacked" DVDs. Just get plain standard MSDN Vista RTM 32-bit or 64-bit. Make sure it's an MSDN release, since that basically guarantees that it's completely unmodified and exactly as Microsoft released it.

 

I'm only saying this because it's a clean install. You have nothing to lose, therefore. I'd definitely go with this first, then report back if all else fails. If a reinstall of the exact same DVD (the one you currently have) produced slightly different results the 2nd time, I'd say its a slightly corrupt DVD. If it wasn't corrupt, it shouldn't behave that way. ;)

I've also had problems finishing installation with several of the Vista builds after first reboot and then freezing up, so I ended up partitiioning from the Vista DVD instead of from Acronis Disk Director Suite. I just deleted the NTFS partitian I created with Acronis and then when installing Vista when I get to the screen where it asks you where you want to install I select the the Vista partition I created and then deleting it and then re-partitioning that same patition by lowering the far right sized # by 1. Reboots and finishes installation without any problems.

 

PS> You really need at least 1 gig of Ram for Vista and upgrade your graphics card at some point to avoid glitches you have described.
