Although your wallpaper is 175kb, that will be for the original jpeg. Under the hood the wallaper must be converted to a BMP file, same resolution of your screen - the size of the original file doesn't matter. Save your wallpaper as a BMP file at that resolution, it will be about 4mb. As to your vista install problem, sorry I can't be of more help. I've never trusted OS upgrades, I always do a clean install - I've always had issues with junk left over from the previous version. That said tho, I've heard vista's upgrade is the best yet. But I still wouldn't trust it  One thing you could try is use partition magic (I see you've got it) to create another partition on your hard drive, and then copy all of your important stuff (like your SH3 installation  ) there, then install vista from scratch and format the main windows partition during the install. Note - Be VERY careful you pick the right partition. Back up critical stuff like emails and photos, incase it all goes bad.I'm using vista that came pre-installed on this Dell latitude d820.... So unfortunately I've never even done a vista install! If you want to persist with the upgrade you could try un-installing the apps it is complaining about before you upgrade - the SATA drivers are a problem tho, as without those XP won't work... but vista shouldn't have a problem with those anyway. But definitely try un-installing Cyberlink DVD player, and partition magic first, see if that helps. |

johnno74, thank you for your info. I never know about wallpapers converting to BMP, I thought they stayed JPEG.... I always learn something new everyday, I guess...
As for the vista, those incompatibilities are no primary concern of mine, it's just that those drivers for my HDD cannot be found even when I'm running an update during vista setup.... Strange, as with M$ upgrade advisor, I am 100% compatible, but with setup, my HDD MAY NOT work bla bla bla... Will wait for a SP1 then I will try again... Thank you for your time with me, man. Ya rule!

I am flattered that you kept one of mine. Your sunsetly8.jpg is one of the first screenshots I took when I got SH4. Glad you enjoy it.
