s.brann,

Will you specifically describe how you performed the "current" Vista install?

Did you have *all* devices connected to your computer, including, wishfully
broadband before first inserting Vista's install DVD?

I installed vista RC2 the day it was released. I was connected to broadband,
I had all of my equipment connected then inserted the Vista DVD. It wasan
upgrade from RC1 which was an upgrade from Beta 2. It installed no problems
and it was running fine up til last week. Then for no reason this.
All my versions of vista have installed been validated and ran no problem.

I'm perplexed. Any help you can give will be very much appreciated.
