    Sweet and uneventful install here on two computers, both dual core (one AMD,
    one Intel) and both with 2 GB RAM using Vista Home Premium. I just turned
    off all the stuff in the system tray (except ESET Smart Security) cleaned up
    with Window Washer, C:\Windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe, Chklnks.exe (Resource
    Kit tool), Adaware and CCleaner, and then let Windows Update get on with it,
    restarting the computers when it asked me to. Everything seems to be running
    as it should. I hope all comes right for you quickly.
