Several things you MUST do Before you install MS Vista..

1.) Make a Current Clone or Image Backup of your Current Stable WinXP Setup..
 either to a second HD, External USB-2 HD or to CD/DVD's.. (so you have a way
to Recover, just in case you scew things up..)

It would also be a Good Idea when you have installed MS Vista and have a Stable
setup under Vista to make another Backup or Clone of the Vista Setup just to be
on the safe side, before adding any new programs to Vista..

2.) Download and Run Microsoft's Vista Compatibility Analyzer, and Update or
Delete any software that is not compatible with Vista, before installing
VISTA..

sor.mspx?wt_svl=20409a&mg_id=20409b

3.) All Versions of Zone Alarm, Other than the  three NEW ZA Vista Versions
released June 14, 2007 are NOT compatible with VISTA and MUST be Uninstalled
with the CLEAN Uninstall method before installing VISTA..

WARNING!!!  If you have any version of Zone Alarm Installed BEFORE you install
MS VISTA, you MUST Clean Uninstall Zone Alarm BEFORE you Install MS Vista..
Here is the Instructions for Clean Uninstall of Zone Alarm..

4.) if you have any other Security programs Like NAV, or Norton Internet
Security Suite, or ant other AV or Firewall programs, you need to uninstall
them.. to be on the safe side..

5.) if removing Any Symantec or Norton Programs.. ADD/Remove is not good
enough, you must also go to Symantec Web site and download their
"Norton_Removal_Tool.exe" to remove all traces of Symantec/Norton files that
may conflict with the NEW ZA for Vista..
