I believe you can turn off Vista's Aero Glass look which most people call
Eye Candy.
But you should post to: microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
Someone should be able to answer your question here, the last version of
Vista I tried was still a Beta and things change.

I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed the Vista upgrade advisor 5
times now and each time I receive an error message that there was an error
in running the upgrade and that I should uninstall and reinstall again.
Anyone else found this problem? Is this the message one receives if their
computer is not capable?

Same experience here (error during install of upgrade advisor). I suspect
the app relies upon Net.Framework 1.1 and I've got version 2.0 here.

Thanks David. I have Net.Framework 1.1 on my computer and still have the
problem. I am searching for others who might have had a similar problem with
the upgrade advisor. So far haven't found anything. Maybe someone else will
answer the message here.
