the beta has a time out on it, you will have to purchase a full version. besides there are things in the release that you do not have.
Vista will not complete install, BSOD just before startup.
I have tried to install Vista Ultimate on my machine over and over, both 64 and 32 bit versions. It goes all the way through the install with out a hitch and just after the screen that says "Vista is about to start for the first time" I get a BSOD saying:
*** STOP: 0x00000116 (0xFFFFA8004179AC0,0xFFFFF98003A5A340, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002)
*** nvlddmkm.sys - Address FFFFF98003A5A340 base at FFFFF98003A55000, DateStamp 452e7567
I've removed all hardware but my video card. I've got the latest bios and it still won't complete the install. I've also got the latest nvidia bata and normal video drivers unzipped on a USB stick. I try to install them when Vista returns the install and repair screen. It sees the drivers and asks what card to install the drivers for, but says that it fails to apply the drivers. Not even sure if I can apply the drivers that way.
