I've flashed roms on my phone before before I had Vista...and now I can't! It always says that a problem has occurred during the process!
Plz help!

winVista still has some driver incompatibility,it requires some driver updates.Although,some guys have flashed via vista but used VMWare Workstation 6 .Others downloaded drivers from microsoft site to update the vista drivers and flashed,but still multiple problems have been reported afterwards while upgrading/downgrading,therefore,it's always better and recommended to flash in WinXP SP2.:D

I can vouch for VMware Work Station 6(with winxp virtualized),
I've used it just last week to flash my G4 wizard with Blackdiamond 3.0 using G4 Soft spl :-)

Noticed this same thing when using my dads laptop with Vista Home Premium to flash a Rom to my phone. It wouldn't work at all... It actually gave me an error message telling me to upgrade my drivers but that was all. It said Drivers Incompatible. Please Update.
I just let it alone and went back to my girlfriends laptop to fix my phone.

Not sure if your searching ever led to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1116596&postcount=1) where sp3dev (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=320105) explains his steps that work for me every single time; ( i don't have to repeat step 1 obviously )
1. install the correct usb drivers ( see original thread or in my attachment )
2. disable "usb connections" in wmdc
3. put device in bootloader ( camera+side+reset ) & attach device
4. kill wmdc.exe process
5. use the correct RUU util ( i attached one that works for me )
cheers!

Wizard Products can't flash on Windows Vista.
I using Vista but installed VMware Machine 6.0 and install WinXP on this VM and good work.

Question here is not that 'It can be done or can't be done ?',read my post where I said yes,guys have done it and are doing,but it requires some driver updates and some have done through VMWare,the only thing is that instead of going through all that updates and launching Vitual Machine process and as there has been reported problems afterward, "IS IT WORTH TO UNDER GO ALL THAT TROUBLE" when it's simpler and effortless to upgrade through WinXP ?
