Okay, this will be a long one, but I'll try to cover all the info.

First, the PC info:

HP Pavillion M7650n with TV tuner

Processor: Intel Viiv Core2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz
Ram: 2GB

Purchased December 2006 with Windows XP (free HP Express upgrade to Vista Home Premium (32bit) when available)

I think that covers the particulars on the PC. I received my upgrade discs, both the HP Upgrade Assistant, and the Vista Premium disc, in early March, but just upgraded last weekend.

Downloaded and ran the Microsoft upgrade advisor beforehand. The only task listed was to uninstall Norton Internet Security - Done.

I will be receiving my vista upgrade within the week, I see that it is possible to do a clean install using the upgrade.
what are the pro's and con's of doing a clean upgrade versus just upgrading. I know I will lose everything on my computer, but for the most part it is just a bunch hp programs I don't use anyway.

Why is it that when I try to install certain applications in Vista Ultimate (32) they tell me I require admin rights to install them when I am the administrator and already have full admin rights?? In the past, most applications that were built for a prior version of windows, still tend to work in a newer version (for example win 2000 apps can work in win XP), albeit sometimes they can be flakey but they still work, and in some/most of the cases that the apps haven't been installing for me because of "improper admin rights", it's due to the fact that the app was made for XP not vista, but when I ran the Vista upgrade advisor in XP before upgrading to Vista, there were no known issues with the software I am now having issues with since the upgrade!!
