    We would need a bit more info like what version of Norton Antivirus? What Printer Brand/Model? Programs and versions you are referring too.

    I'd probably recommend running the Vista Upgrade advisory tool found here
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

    It will scan your system and tell you if you have key points that should be upgraded

    As far as hardware goes I would recommend you have at least a 1.8Ghz Processor and 1 - 2GB of Ram. Also check your video card as many computers came with integrated intel video and they do not have drivers for some. So if you can list your computer brand/model and/or computer specs and we can help more with those details.
    At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

    You should definitely use the Vista Upgrade Advisor. Assume you will need to get new drivers for most of your devices, and check for availability before you upgrade.
