Re: Vista Compatibility

Thanks for answers.

I retried again without all non essential card like wi-fi. I left just video
card as agp and no pci. Regarding ati driver I experienced the same problem
about the manage software, but this happen just attempting and update. The
system crash always at the same point, in the phase named "First Start of
Vista". I enclose a link with the pic of error

My hard disk is a normal samsung ide of about 250gb, I deactivated that on
sata, to avoid driver errors. Last chance it may be update bios
