I'm using an MSI p6N motherboard. MSI tech support just told me this: It seems to be caused by the academic upgrade since other customers and us used full version without any problem so kindly consult with Microsoft on this issue: www.support.microsoft.com So pass the buck Incidentally, I'm also have problems with Vista locking up while using a SATA hard drive which is apparently also related to the Academic upgrade.

Just for the record. I also have a "Upgrade Only" Academic version of Visa 32bit. I can do a fresh install. When I follow up with the Upgrade step so I can activate it, it hangs every time at the "Completing upgrade" step. I have found no solution for this. This is using the Vista DVD, not vLite. I'm actually here because a forum moderator sent me here to attempt a Vlite version with drivers built into the install as a potential solution. I can't disable my DVD as a test because I need the DVD to do the install.
