Upgrade to 2 GB and try again.
I bought a new Emachine with Vista Home Basic, and when I tried to upgrade to Ultimate it keeps going to the logon screen then says "Shutting Down" and then restarts and brings up a System Restore and won't let me log on. Any guesses on why it might be doing that?
It's an Emachine 3.0 GHz, 512 RAM, GeForce 6200OC 256MB video card.
Please help!
