Having serious issues upgrading to Windows 7...
Last response: in Windows 7
I've got a computer with Vista 32-bit and it sucks so I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but the installer does not launch it just hangs with the cursor and the little spinning circle. I know it's not the disk because I tried it in Safe Move and the installer launched! (only for it to tell me I can't install Windows in Safe Mode, GRRRR!! ![:fou:]( ":fou:")
)
I ran Combofix and it found some viruses and cleaned them up. I also ran chk dsk / r but I think it already did some major damage to the system because even installers for FireFox won't launch and it keeps saying things like
C:\Windows\AppPatch/AcGenral.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error.
I told my friend about this and he was like "yea, Vista sucks... You should get Windows 7" and I was like DUH!![:sarcastic:]( ":sarcastic:")

no such checkbox to run as vista or admin. Only windows 95,98, NT, etc...
