The only problem free upgrade I have ever done was a Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate that had never had any user but the original user log in to during the setup. Nothing had ever been done on the system other than getting it installed. It was immediately upgraded. I never do upgrades of systems that have been used they just seem to have problems of one kind or another and it is not worth the effort to get them working. I agree with Martin blow the drivers and reinstall if you have to keep it this way but I would say blow the OS away and start over.
