Well, my friend "got" vista and "humpdy dumpdy"ed it if you get what I mean. And it worked perfect. Maybe I should ask him..but that selfish little ***** doesnt tell me.
If your using pirated software then thats the risk you take, simple as that lol. There are ways to fix the corrupt file, but you need a working copy of the file to do that, and you havent got one. Why dont you just buy an original disc, it would have saved days of hassle.
Well...I seriously would if I had a job and money, but now, I dont have these things. And my parents already shelled out lots of money for my new PC...buying another vista...thats too much for them. lol.
