Installation of Vista Ultimate Help

I have a Dell Dimension 9200 and I cannot seem to upgrade my XP Home
to Vista Ultimate. It installs but does not complete. This computer
was bought a few months ago and is supossed to be "upgradable".
Vista Upgrade Advisor shows: Issues with Microsoft Interactive
Training, Dell Cineplayer, Dell Inc. Utilities,
Windows Messenger.
When I run the installation disc the compatability issues that are
listed are:
Ports (COM & LPT): NetMos PCI ECP Parallel Port (LPT3)
Microsoft Interactive Training
Dell Media Experience
Windows Messenger 5.1
I do not want to do a clean install. Can anyone help? Thanks, David

What you have to do is remove all things in the list. Start at the top and
work down..

A clean install is best.
Backup your data. Start from scratch.
