  1. No idea why this started happening (Not really anything has been installed or changed in the last couple of days) but quite a few things are crashing, for example, explorer.exe crashes when opening images (Using the 'Preview' thing) or opening the Games window, Defender simply won't start, start++ won't start, Nvidia control panel crashes, etc. Here is an example of Defender crashing: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: MSASCui.exe Application Version: 1.1.1505.0 Application Timestamp: 45ad82d9 Fault Module Name: gdiplus.dll Fault Module Version: 5.2.6000.16386 Fault Module Timestamp: 4549bcaf Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00032ad0 OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 3081 Additional Information 1: 8d13 Additional Information 2: cdca9b1d21d12b77d84f02df48e34311 Additional Information 3: 8d13 Additional Information 4: cdca9b1d21d12b77d84f02df48e34311 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409Each one of these error boxes from the various crashes mentions gdiplus.dll so I tried replacing the file with a 'fresh' copy, using regsvr to re-register it and just some other things but I haven't gotten anywhere. I really need to fix this. :/ I don't know what details would be useful, just a rather standard Vista [32Bit/Home Premium] setup.
  2. I've been messing around with that app but can't quite figure out how to make it do what I want in this particular instance. D: ---- Well, since it seems like I'll have to reinstall would be the best approach ? Since no matter how I plug the drives in I'll still be installing from within XP so the bootloader will be installed on that drive I'll have to do it another way. Is the method for doing a clean install (With no product key) than upgrading that install from within (With a product key) still viable ? If so, I'll do that but the bootloader problem will still be there. Maybe I could: 1) Plug in only the hdd where I'll install and have it as hdd0 2) Do the clean install/upgrade trick 3) Plug in the hdd (Which will be hdd1) with XP ^ Any major problems with that plan ? All I can think of is that I will need to wipe any boot info from that hdd and I will need to add Windows XP to the boot list for the Vista bootloader (Via BCDEdit or VistaBootPro) which should be easy enough.
  3. So, I have XP on hdd0 and I installed Vista [Home Premium Upgrade] to hdd1 and after I did that my plan was to move my important files onto hdd1 than format hdd0 and ghosh the drive with Vista onto the newly formatted so Vista would be on the primary drive. One problem, the boot details are on hdd0 so if I format it/remove it Vista won't be able to boot ("NTLDR MISSING"), so, I was wondering if there is a similar command to fixmbr (Fix Master Boot Record) I could use to create the boot info on the Vista hard drive which will utilise the new bootloader Vista installs. Thank you, a lot. If someone can answer this it will save me a lot of trouble. - Sorry if this has been answered. D:
  4. Yeah, I checked out the prices in Harvey Norman tonight, it's ridiculous. Since I don't want to get an OEM version I'll most likely end up getting Home Premium [upgrade] which I can get for $150AU from Big W unless I can get a cheap copy of Ultimate from my university.
