Seriously, I finally have a computer that has Vista on it. <\/p>\n
Back at Christmas, I bought an Emachines that was cheap but advertised as Vista ready. Haven’t done much with it, as I knew I wanted to load Vista.<\/p>\n
Finally, it was time to order it, did, and took months to arrive. Then installed Vista — or tried to, because I got a STOP error and blue screen of death as soon as I tried the upgrade. Called support got an answer that didn’t work, but since it was close to the end of the school year and I was busy, I decided to hold off.<\/p>\n
Finally two weeks ago, called support, asked for help and they told me I needed more memory. Ordered it, waited for it to come in, and installed it. STILL same error. Last Thursday, called in, told them what was going on, and they scratched their heads and said it would have to be sent to the lab.<\/p>\n
Lab emailed me today, to ask what System board I had, as I needed a BIOS upgrade. Glad they verified as the BIOS update they wanted to send me was for the wrong mother board.<\/p>\n
Installed it, and an hour later I have Vista. So far, I’m not really impressed but it DOES work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
