I bought vstudio.net academic v2003, i also at this moment had to buy windows 2000 and upgrade from win98. I upgraded and then ran the vstudio setup. It ran fine until in the middle of step 2 when without a warning icon or anything the system just stopped.(froze) I would like some help from anybody with an idea thanks. |
that off, then retry the VS.NET install.
When you say "just stopped (froze)", do you mean you entire system locked
up, requiring a reboot, or that the install froze? If it was the
installation, try shutting down, restarting, then restart the installation.
If it was your entire system, and it does it consistently, see the bad news
below.
Upgrading from Win 98 to Win 2000 can produce instabilities. As a last
resort, I would suggest that you do a clean install of Windows 2000, then
try the VS.NET install.

When you say "in Step 2", exactly what does that mean? Are you saying the
lockup occurred with CD #2 in your drive? What other software is installed
besides the OS?
Perhaps more details will shed light on the problem.

I found out that FTER FIDDLING WITH THE SERvices the the machine deb manager was turned off and i cant start it. It sais my access is denied. can anyone tell me why? . I found out why , my comp had to be added into the administrative group. I'm well aware that you don't want to hear this, but none of the things you've had to do to get to this stage should have been necessary if the original installation were not flawed. I've installed VS.NET 2003 and 2003 on several PC's (running both Win 2000 Pro and Win XP Pro) and never encountered the need to manually register anything or to add anything to the administrative, or any other, group to get it to work correctly. At the rate you're going, you'll easily have expended more effort than that necessary to reinstall the OS, then VS.NET, with no guarantee it'll ever be right. If I were you, I'd reinstall Win 2000(plus video drivers, etc.) to a formatted partition, then SP4, then VS.NET, making sure you are signed on as administrator of the PC for all installs. If anything untoward happens while installing VS.NET, write down *all* the details so you'll have them when seeking assistance (either in newsgroups or from MS Tech Support). Sorry, but based on the symptoms you describe, that's the best advice I have. -- Peter - [MVP - Academic] . I will try that but first, have you tried installing |

Big snip I will try that but first, have you tried installing vstudio.net on a amd 700 mghz athlon processor? |
office run AMD CPU's. The fact that it's an AMD CPU is not a factor. Given
the vintage of that CPU, it *is* possible that the age of the motherboard
and the chipset on it *might possibly be* factors, but I sincerely doubt it.
The chipsets I've successfully installed VS.NET on are: VIA KT266A, VIA
KT333, VIA KT400 and NVidia NForce2 CPU's ranged from AMD Athlon 1.0 GHz
through AMD Barton 2.2 GHz. I also installed to various Pentium III and
Pentium IV PC's in our classrooms and labs.
Can we assume that you have at least 256 MB of memory?
