Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate ? fix corrupted files

After weeks of trying to get Vista to work properly (following a memory card
crash) - done all the usual repairs and chkdsk's and taken Norton off etc...I
have been advised to either re-install but then need to load all applications
again or upgrade to Ultimate. Question is by upgrading to Ultimate will it
fix corrupted files. ( I cannot load any new programmes etc keep getting
error message : The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry)

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Upgrading to Ultimate should fix the problem, but you could also run a
Repair (Upgrade) install with your Home Premium to fix it to. This will
allow you to repair your Vista installation and keep your user account
files, settings, and programs.

Hi Brink

Thanks for the help unfortunately I only have the DVD that came with
computer when I purchased it new it is an "OEM system builder pack" so it
automatically disables the upgrade option.

The solution tutorial does note that " You must have a Vista Express or
Retail installation DVD to do this. If you have a OEM Recovery installation
DVD that came with your computer instead, then it will most likely only be a
clone of the hard drive with Vista allowing you to only do a clean install
with it instead."

Worth a try though! I have ordered the Ultimate upgrade guess I could have
ordered the Home Premium retail pack as an alternative - will let you know
how it goes.

Thanks for the help
