Strider, how have things gone now?
If you're still having issues, is this a home built system or a pre-built?
The reason I ask is that we don't know how sensitive Vista is to subtle incompatabilities that might not be picked up by the upgrade advisor. Just as how XP Pro is more sensitive than XP Home, Vista may even be more sensitive to a minor hardware issue that isn't picked up by the advisor.
Also, how old is the system, and was it perfectly stable in XP before this?
Have you scoured the 'net for program and driver issues?
I hate to say it, but early adoption of a brand new OS is pretty risky business, and frustration is part and parcel with the task. I have been pretty fortunate with my Vista upgrade (knocks wood), but I have had to live with some issues of programs not being Vista compatible versions yet, and of course the odd driver (cough... NVIDIA... cough) issue.
For the record, my main issues to date:
- Cisco VPN client - only available in beta, which crashes me
- ePocrates - not available in Vista version
- AVG - doesn't always play nice (won't launch on startup successfully)
- Logitech Harmony remote control - disable Aero interface
- NVIDIA drivers - working, but haven't tried a full range of games yet
- iTunes - thank heavens I didn't upgrade my wife's computer too!
Apologies is this appears as a thread hijack, I'm not really asking for help, etc. just comiserating a bit.
