"You Must Restart after previous operation" - HELP! Can't install on Vista Ultimate!

[Jito463]

You can do a fresh install of Vista using an upgrade disc, and it will activate just fine. That's the same trick people have used for years with XP, 2000, ME, 98, et al. And as for upgrading, it's generally a bad idea anyway. It causes a number of issues in and of itself, and not to mention it can carry over problems from your previous OS (and sometimes exacerbates the problem further).

I tired to activate from a clean install, it didn't work!

[Jito463]

Did you try activating it over the phone? If you had already activated it once after the upgrade, it will not activate over the internet (at least not for some time). You'll need to call in the activation.

Loop proplem here also

Hi.
I'm a new user with a 1 week old fresh install (full) of Vista Ultimate.
I just bought Deamon tools today, and I can't install it!!
I am stuck in the "Must reboot" loop.
I have tried everything I have found in this forum and it does not make any difference.
SPTD is never installed according to the installers.
I've had enough for one day.
I'll keep looking and hope that a fix for the problem with Vista will soon appear.
Paul
