VIAAGP1.SYS hangs windows upgrade installation
« on: January 10, 2007, 09:17:48 AM »
At the 34 minute mark of Windows XP Pro upgrade installation it says file needed - the file VIAAGP1.SYS filter drive disk is needed. Even through the mouse is lit up it won't move to click ok, cancel or browse.  I keep rebooting and it keeps doing the same thing.  I'm going to leave for another hour and then I guess I'll have to throw in those 5 boot disks and go with that even though I'll loose everything.   It will take me hours to get my mail set back up and weeks to get Mailwasher back to where it was.

I had this problem yesterday and got past it somehow so today I made a new partition and was trying to get get Windows on that when this occurred.

I have disconnected everything (even the network/router/modem)  except the mouse
