[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 246556, member: 13176"] Finally seem to have a stable install, but only by using full admin account (3rd install). Using normal admin rights, (which i really was attempting to use to set everything up as) Java would install ok, then followed by azurues vuze (to test) which came up with java errors. Tried this a couple of times, even using the full download, rather than the web based installer itself, used this same file on real admin account with no problems. The best one, internet explorer would lock up as soon as i tried to access mediaportal webpages, taskmanager was the only way of shutting it down, every other website in my extensive favourites list worked, Firefox had no such problems, nor IE8 :S, again no such problem with real admin account. No sound card problems now neither, Audigy4 seems to be talking fine to windows sounds (was not previously) again even though it showed up fine in device manager, until a reboot where it uninstalled itself, tried 3 times, same thing. Still would recommend any driver\software installs are done from a real Adminstrator setup and then drop back to a normal admin account for day to day use, I really like to think i'm computer savvy and am totally baffled why some of the problems that have occured, if you only want a htpc stick with xp prosp2 :) less hassle, only advantage so far is memory used just running OS has dropped by a third. BTW, had not a single problem with original Vista install without service pack, installing using normal admin rights. [/QUOTE]
