Re: an't finish Home premium upgrade, black screen

I tried saving the new vista drivers to both a cd and my hard drive. If I
put into safe mode, it kicks me out saying that it cannot finish the
installation in safe mode. I tried accessing the drivers from the DOS prompt
in repair installation on the vista disk but recieved an error message when I
ran that too. On the 32 bit install it would load the setup before giving an
error, with the 64 bit install it says "The system cannot execute the
specified program". Thanks for the idea though, thats what I thought of when
I first saw the error.
