Windows 7 owners are having problems installing their new
operating system, especially over Vista, according to comments on
Microsoft'ssupport site.
Many find their installation goes into infinite reboot after 62%
of the installation is complete. Switching off and rebooting
doesn't help either because the system no longer recognises the
older operating system.
Microsoft says the problem occurs because the Iphlpsvc service
stops responding during the upgrade. But others may also be to
blame.
One user who followed
Microsoft's
fix said it took 48 hours to get a working installation, with
installation runs taking 10 hours a time. Even then he had to
delete his wireless card and get the operating system to find it
again.
