whats the individual scores, for processor, ram etc.

and what are the specs of your PC.

Did you do a full format, or just install vista over the top of XP?

you should really do a full format before ever installing a new OS. you may have deleted the old windows folder but it'll still be there in your registry etc.

reboot with the Vista DVD in your drive, if it boots from there then when asked DELETE your partition that had XP on, then make a new partition.

bare in mind deleteing a partition will remove EVERYTHING from that section

Nail on the fucking head. Thumbs Up

dransy, judging by your scores you should be able to run Vista reasonably well. It's going to run marginally slower than XP. Something like a percieved 20% increase in overall access times, loading, etc. versus your previous Windows install. Anything worse than that is most likely caused by an improper install or out of date/nonexistent hardware drivers. Good luck.
