    I installed this last night on my vista 64bit, and when it rebooted, I got an error that it wouldn’t start.

    Tried to run repair, but it wouldn’t work, maybe because drive is encrypted…

    Still waiting for my truecrypt rescue disc to finish decrypting the hard drive, hoping after that’s done it willboot/repair properly.
