[flexcoders] Re: Installing Flex On Vista Causes Reboots
I have all the latest drivers I could find. I also ran the memtest for 6+hours w/o any failures. Maybe I should try loading XP first and then Vista over it? I think I found the solution. I set up a dual boot system. I used XP to load the Flex software, then when I boot to Vista, I can run it just fine.

Iko, You might try looking at your settings for Windows. There is one checkbox for Reboot on System Error. Make sure that is turned off so that you can at least see the error you are getting. I have seen Windows ship with this set to be true, normally on the dumbed down home editions of their OS's. So make sure that is off and at least it gives you a chance to further debug.

[flexcoders] Re: Installing Flex On Vista Causes Reboots
Hi Matthew, I am not the one that has the issues. I just shared my experience of installing on Vista by copying an XP installation over manually. The installer did not run at the time - quite possibly because I did not run it as Administrator - or maybe some other issue. It was prior to 2.01 The reboot issues are with John Lentz's install, who posted the original ...
