The Upgrade was not sucessful

I have the exact problem. Initially I had to remove alcohol 120, windows
defender, and update A347 SCSI controller (part of Alcohol 120 ?).
Everything went smoothly until I received the same message The Upgrade was
not sucessful. Your original desktop is being restored. I have a Windows XP
media center edition. Pentium D 2.80 GHz. 1GB RAM. I ran the Windows Vista
Upgrade Advisor and no problems were not. Dying to try Vista.

thanks

I have the same problem. initially two programs were incompatible and were
removed : Alohol 120 and windows defender. Also asked to update A347 SCSI
controller this was also fixed (part of Alcohol 120). Everything was going
well until the last reset when I received the message "the Upgrade was not
sucessful. Your original desktop is being restored."

I have a XP media center edition. Pentium D 2.80 GHz. 1GB RAM. Any help
would be appreciated feeling left out.
