Installing Vista

So was it finally time to tackle the Vista installation, in XP insert the dvd, nice works installation looks good and starts with out any proble, it gives the choose to look at the internet, find that i have to restart the process, but doesn't ask the old questions again. Good. I don't like to upgrade my XP so i choose custom, hoping to use some of the 300 gig free unallocated space on the disk. Stupid me, to do that I should have started the installation by booting the dvd, so lets restart.

That process looks to be a little different the first think it asks now is what language to use, English or English, and where I am, Sweden, that i figures out my keyboard is actually Swedish. Good start, just OK and press install, One of these nice 0ne choose dialogues. Then re-enter the product key, this time correct at first attempt. This time I can use the unallocated space on the disk. After that the installation ran with out any big problems and i could quite soon log into Vista.
Changing resolution and font size asked for a reboot, irritating, but not that bad, it found most hardware at once made some updates from Microsoft. Good, download some essential software as well. Google pack, iTunes and Second life. And soon it looks like ready to do something. Started Second life but no, the nVidia drivers didn't work, no accelerated gfx here. Well into nVidias homepage and download, install and reboot again. This time i can start Second life, it runs, and somewhat works, the resolution is good, but only on 60 Hz now with the nVidia updated driver. I can live with that, what harder is the stability, in two hours about ten crashes, some in the gfx driver as well, or the gfx driver restarted.
