Vista sp1 upgrade freezes

rkrupka · Jul 10, 2008

Trying to upgrade from xp sp3 but always freezes at "setting up personlized settings for: windows desktop update."
Have osx 10.5.3, parallels 5603
any ideas?
thanks.

One more thing: Can I put the preferences back AFTER Vista has installed?

Thanks again!

You can try this,
However I suggest you to install MacFuse from http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
and perform disk repair on mac OS before doing it

I downloaded macfuse and have no idea what it is or how to use it. Thanks anyway.

It is ok, it is not software, proceed with disk repair

MacFUSE is a system preference panel -- go to system preferences to find it.
