i just got my vista 7 home premium upgrade in the mail today, i installed it and everything seemed to go alright until i noticed it wasn't connecting to the internet which was fine, i changed a few settings like i always do ( lowering the uac control security level, stopping programs running in the background etc nothing important ) and once i finished that i restarted my newly upgraded PC it started up fine but still no connection, so i restarted again just to make sure. (later realizing i should have just tried re-installing the driver). This time it froze at the windows 7 welcome screen so i pushed the restart button and tried starting windows normally, it froze again so i tried a diagnostic start up ,which took forever, but it stated it could not fix the issues automatically ( or remotely one of the two) so now my PC fails to start and of course i didn't think to make a backup until i had actually started the upgrade and now i have no idea what to do please :help: once again a tremendous effort by Microsoft still making everything a breeze :badpc: am i right? |

Install the LAN drivers for your motherboard or the modem drivers if on dial up. |

Some of the time the upgrade of any OS turns pear shaped - The only safe way to fix it is a complete fresh install. Even MS say upgrading is not always the best idea - basically its like building a house on shaky foundations, unless the original OS is more or less in perfect condition, there WILL be problems someplace and even on a good install upgrades fail regularly. |

You don't uninstall from the BIOS. |
