• Copy the Contacts from Vista to Windows 7 Contacts Possible?

  I have a new desktop under Windows 7 Home Premium. Before the death of my old desktop (Vista 32 Home Premium), I was able to copy my Contacts folder to a backup drive. Is Vista comes in contact with the same type of file as Windows 7 contacts? Is it possible to copy contacts from Vista to Windows 7 contacts folder? If this is not the case, how would I go about importing the contacts? Thank you!

  Hi Fallstar,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  You can import the information book or contact address of several formats used by other programs, convert them for use in this version of Windows and store them in your Contacts folder. You can also convert your contacts to other formats by exporting. Allows you to share them with people who use an earlier version of Windows or a different operating system.

  However, you must download Windows Live Mail in order to perform the steps listed in method 1. To download windows live mail on windows 7 click on the link below.

  2. on the toolbar, click Import, and then click one of the following formats to import contacts from:

  o CSV (Comma Separated Values). It is a format of generic file used to export and import information to and from databases or spreadsheets. If you can't import an address book file directly into Windows Contacts, try everything first convert to a CSV file and then import this file.

  o LDIF (LDAP server). This format is used to import information from LDAP directory servers directory.

  o vCard (VCF file). This is the most widely used contacts format.

  o the Windows address book file (Outlook Express contacts). This format (.wab file) is used by most earlier versions of Windows, including Windows XP.

  3. click on import, locate the contacts file you want to import, and then click Open. The new contacts should appear in your Contacts folder.

  If you can't find the contacts file you want to import, see the documentation provided with the program that created the contacts or visit the manufacturer's website. You will need to export contacts from the program before you can import them into Windows Contacts.

• Some problems after the downgrade from Vista to XP - Tecra S10

  Hello

  I wonder if you could give me a helping hand with a laptop I bought recently.

  With the S10, I got a downgrade and used to downgrade to XP SP3 cd, but who has a problem.
  Sometimes when I restarted the pc, or even when it would boot it would hang and the fan would start to run at 100%.
  When it restarts, it crashes just after the "closing windows" and when it starts, it freezes at the windows xp loading screen.

  The only thing I could do, it's hard to restart it.
  If you think "huh, he had a few pilot program or that ' Yes, thought that myself, but I reinstalled xp on the machine with fresh drivers, bios update, file verification, toshiba software uninstalled, reinstalled, checked for viruses malware... always dose the same thing.

  The interesting part is that it is not all the time... and I can't understand what is happening when the system crashes.

  Can someone give me a hand with this?

  Hello

  It is possible that some pre-installed applications that worked correctly with Vista OS would go well with Win XP and so these strange questions would appear

  As another user suggested try to uninstall the software of fingerprint. But the best solution would be the clean OS install

• Windows Update feature connects to the Windows Update server after the transition from XP to Windows 7 Pro.

  Updated XP PC to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  First upgrade failed due to the bad version of Win 7.  (Distorted version of seller).  Correct version relocation has left two versions installed so I started reinstalling the correct version and reformat selected before continuing.  (21/04/16)  Installation proceeds correctly, validated and activated license, but the update function didn't work.  One version on the disc after the previous action.  Then I downloaded and installed IE 11 manually the version 11.0.9600 of Microsoft (same date) and then downloaded and installed MSE from Microsoft 4.9.218.0 version (same date).   MSE updates have not downloaded initially until I ran Win update problems solving.

  I have since run program sfc/scannow (without problems of integrity or repaired files), update Windows utility for troubleshooting and Fixit programs.  I also stopped the update service, delete the appropriate configuration of software and restarted the service records.  Still not connection with update server.

  Download and install the following update manually. This greatly speeds up the update of Windows on new installations of Windows 7.

  Installation and research updates is slow and high utilization of the processor occurs in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

• transfer the license from vista to windows 8

  Previously the company that I worked bought the creative suite CS2, (mainly I use photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, indesign, and acrobat pro). It was a legitimate legal purchase and I was the only designer, then it was purchased because of me.  I often worked from home so I installed a second copy on my pc at home in addition to my work pc, which I understand was also legal.  I am now looking at my home pc to upgrade vista to windows 8 and would like to transfer the software.  Is this possible?

• Sound card is not after the downgrade from Vista to Xp on Equium L350

  Hi I have a Finalis L350 laptop computer and I've recently downgraded from Vista to XP.

  All other drivers work very well outside of my sound card.

  Does anyone know where to find the drivers I need for my laptop?

  I know what we call drivers

  VIA AC 97 Audio Controller (WDM and SIS 7018 Audio Driver)

  Only problem is that I don't know what those who work with my Toshiba L350 - 10L

  There are different versions of these drivers. No one knows everything everyone who it is?

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  If you download the latest driver from realtek site (which belongs to this sound card since it s a realtek card) you can't do anything wrong. Just check www.realtek.com and download the latest being.

• After the transition from XP to Windows 7, the custom-printing size selection box has failed.

  I always was able to use my C5180 Photosmart to print pictures of custom size on my old computer with XP.  After getting a new computer with Windows 7, the custom size box says "the custom paper that you have just set will become unavailable for selection until you have left and returned in the preferences to print/properties." (I did too many times to count!) All except 'Cancel' choices are grayed out.  This feature still works on my old computer, even if the box selection and formulation are different.  I have checked and checked the drivers and we have tried many other solutions.  I have worked in this market for a week or two and see that many other people have similar problems.  I would like to buy a new hp printer, but see that even with the new hp printers people have problems with paper sizes custom, which is very important to me - I print a lot of cards of various sizes, mainly of 6.5 X 10 inches.  Of course, no support is available for this printer "obsolete". (It may be "obsolete", but it works fine with XP). I also can't get any definitive information on this feature in the new hp printers and have noted that some people have problems with this feature on the new printers also.

  Thank you so much Shane R. for your expert advice.

  Can I try your solution in the future, but right now I'm satisfied by another solution, I realized with the help of a thematically response on a Windows 7 forum.

  First of all, I'm pretty positive, I used the correct driver because I downloaded the most recent, verified and recontroler, etc.  And, fortunately, most of the features all-in-one is working well.  Because of this, I hate to try drivers for another model - as I have solve my problem. I could end up with another problem - as no function of scan or something.

  Here is how I was able to get custom formats:

  'Start' to 'control panel' for 'Hardware and Sound' ('View drivers and printers')

  Click on the printer

  Choose "Print server properties" at the top of the screen

  Click 'create a new form.

  Give form a new name, for example 7-10 card and put the name into the box just above

  Complete custom down, for example, print size 7 x 10

  Click 'save form '.

  Click "close".

  The custom name and size is then appeared in the photo program I feel for and I was able to use it.

  Thank you, again. (Where can I provide Bravo?)

• Satellite L30-113 - no sound after the downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello to everyone.
  I recently bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L30-113
  with vista preintalled.

  As many users around the vista of the world seemed very slow for me so I decided to go back to Windows XP Pro.
  The problem is that I can't hear any sound in my laptop.
  In fact I found some drivers for Realtek controller High definition audio
  but they have nothing did.

  I give the floor to toshiba in Greece and they told me that this laptop is designed only for windows vista!
  Can this be true?
  Help, please

  Hello

  In my eyes, you have misunderstood something. Of course, that the laptop can handle Windows XP and it should work correctly, but as you say the device was shipped with Vista and so the guys at Toshiba support don't provide any support for WinXP on this laptop.

  As far as I know page driver Toshiba also provide drivers for win XP. Therefore, visit European driver of Toshiba page and choose the good laptop-> PSL33 Sat L30-113

  You will find a driver 5.10.0.5273 version XP. This should work!

  Have a nice day ;)

• After the transition from XP to Windows 7, I lost my ability to scan and fax.

  When I go to the interface of the software (on my desktop), instead of being able to set up a scan and save it to a document, I now get a message that my installation of the software is incomplete.  He tells me that I have to connect via USB to complete it, but when I do this it seems to return to the original XP drivers, and I've since upgraded to Windows 7 drivers.  How to get out of this endless loop and recover my ability to scan?  And I already tried using HP diagnostic tools AND tried to remove and reinstall the update downloaded drivers.  Nothing seems to update this software interface on my desktop - the farthest, I get with it is a runtime error.  Any ideas?

  I tried to reinstall again and somehow got beyond the Runtime error (no idea how).  Now, scan and fax are back (yay) but the scan will make only a single page and then it shows a mistake and said it should be stopped.  However, I can deal with that at thispoint.     Thank you!!
