Hello

I have recently put together a brand new computer, with all new hardware in it.
Then i have purchased the Vista home Premium 64bit OEM to my new computer.

But i have some errors when i try install it that says something like "Windows found an error in the installation, please click ok to reboot and the installation vil continue" But when i do reboot, the almost same message come up, and it ask me to reboot over and over, but still it runs in cirkel with that message everytime.

So on the Microsoft website i saw somewhere that i can't installe this Vista version on a new computer unless i have like Windows XP that i can upgrade from, is this true ? i cant instal Vista Home Premium 64 bit OEM as the first and only OS on my com?

Hope you guys can help me out

Is it a clean install or contains an OS? You can't upgrade an OS from the OEM 64-bit CD. Reset your system BIOS to default with the jumper on board. Reduce RAM to 2 sticks. Use a decent brand DVD to install it. Use a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, if possible. I have seen USB keyboard and mouse cause this issue. Only install the video card, hard drive, and DVD drive. Basically, do a barebones install. Make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date. Install the proper drivers for your controller.
