"Your Computer Cannot Run This Operating System"
I have a Dell XPS M1210 with Windows XP installed. I've bought vista home premuim which, after running various compatibility tests, is perfectly fine for my computer, it's the reccomended version. Whenever I insert the disc I get the message in the title of this thread. The disc os completely real and official, my laptop is fine. Anyone know how to fix this very irritating and (considering how much I spent on Vista) expensive problem? Help appreciated, thanks. Fahd. Message Edited by FahdGhauri on 05-05-2007 04:04 PM

You must start the install from within XP. Do not boot to the vista dvd. Start xp the normal way and run the setup program on the vista dvd.934

Chas: The XP is however it is when you buy the laptop. I haven't downloaded anything for it, as I say I'm not computer savvy at all. Thanks, Fahd.
