    Hi All,

    I was wondering if someone could post a walk through for upgrading to Vista on their 5672. I am downloading the Vista pack from Acer, what is the procedure? Do I install vista then open the Acer Vista pack after and upgrade the programs? Are there any supplemental drivers or programs that should be downloaded prior to upgrading? The Vista advisor seems to have issues with the Realtek Audio driver, crad reader and everything bluetooth. Should I uninstall the bluetoth stuff first and hope Vista will install new drivers for my bluetooth connections?

    A lot of questions I know, but upgrading the OS can be a scary task for those of us that want to keep our settings and applications intact but want to try out Vista.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    i never did an upgrade, but always a full install. anyway, the upgrade kit works perfectly in vista, and will install all the drivers for vista, so my guess is to install AFTER the ugrade. what you should do BEFORE is to backup your stuff, and do a bios upgrade to the latest version 326.
