Re: Having upgrade problems on Emachine T5224 Vista Ultimate

There is likely a reason that the T5224 is available for less than $300.
Anyway, it's possible that the P/S is overloaded.

On the e-machines box IE keeps locking up after the upgrade and throwing
a slew of red Xs in the reliability monitor. I am tired of this, and now
the machine boots really slowly. I have the system restore disabled, and
I defrag my hard drives with Diskeeper 2008 and keep my hard drive free of
trash. The problem is that I have installed office 2007 on my other two
machines and have activated it about 5 or 6 times because of upgrades to
hardware and equipment that I have made, and had to reinstall the OS and
all applications including office. When I installed Office the last time,
I had to activate it by phone and Outlook doesn't function. Now, I am
stuck with a Vista Ultimate upgrade that has been activated, which is
fixing to be uninstalled because it is really frustrating me. I paid for
Office 2007 and Vista Ultimate. I want to use office on the three
machines that I have, and put Ultimate on another machine (a laptop).
What is going to happen when I reinstall Ultimate and try to put it on the
machine I want to use it on now (the laptop) and try to activate both of
them? If I can't do this because of hardware upgrades, specifically
changing to larger hard drives in the laptop and both my other computers,
I am going to be really mad. Also, there is no way in Vista to do a
backup and be able to restore the stuff (applications and the OS) on a
larger hard drive like the XP Backup which is really frustrating.
