I appreciate your help and I too am wondering if upgrading to Ultimate is worth the trouble. What I wanted from Ultimate was the media center but I can do without it. Thanks again.

Hi Linney,
So that you have the complete picture here is what transpired. I downloaded Vista Untimate with sp1. I installed that version as a new install. It loaded but the media center would not setup. In fact when I tried to activate the media center IE7 went haywire and kept opening and...
Its a complete download of vista with sp1. It was a clean install. It was the first time vista was attempted on this machine. No beta versions were used.

I downloaded the current MSDN Ultimate SP1. It installs, however IE stops and restarts and several services stop with no apparent fix. Media Center will not setup and freezes. Anyone having similar problems? Need some ideas.
Debbie,
Thanks for your quick response. I am at the same point that you are. The problem is intermittent and there doesnt seem to be a good reason that it happens. If I should uncover anything else I will post.
