Are you afraid to upgrade to Vista Sp1 with peripheral Sigmatel audio? Why...! ?

Hello.

I have an Ispiron 6400 with the 9200 "lucky" Sigmatel audio device.

A little review:

Device driver SigmaTel is a problem with Vista SP1, and you cannot download it from Windows update.

Windows Update suggests the IDT High definition audio installation which should replace the Sigmatel driver but causes an unexpected error = no audio device installed, RIGHT!

But now, you can download Vista SP1... GREAT!

But first I decided to remove the IDT instrument, but to do this I need to delete all Sigmatel applications as IDT pilot install itself on and in the old software so I reinstall the Sigmatel driver form Dell site (R147073).

Audio device is now works well but... Oh miracle... now after this little joke Windows Vista sp1 is available in windows update...

So make the choice for me:

(1) "now" the driver is compatible with windows vista sp1 and I should update

(2) someone suggest installing the Sigmatel R147075 driver but I would like evidence that is not designed for the Inspiron system and for example it does not recognize SPDIF and he sees two different microphone that does not exist however, it is compatible SP1 and I should update

(3) I probably found a bug in the windows vista update, and now he thinks that I don't have a Sigmatel device and I shouldn't update.

(4) I'm afraid

Dell, please you are ready with the driver for your new laptop, my laptop support... I bought it 1 year ago... and it's always covered... Your support is excellent, why change? Give to use precise indication...

PS... Download driver IDT is currently not available from windows update... funny, isn't it? It's like Office genuine advantage... present last week and after he disappeared... I'm afraid

    Toshiba offers a set of drivers and utilities for upgrades from Vista. Some of them are for 2006 and 2007.

    Hello

    > I think if everything works well, why rock the boat?
    I agree with you that I would install only the drivers that are really needed.

    In my opinion, you need:
    Display driver
    Flash Media Driver
    Audio driver
    Touch Pad Driver
    Value Added Package
    LAN and WLan driver

    In my opinion, these applications are recommended
    Other software like driver Config Free, Bluetooth, Fingerprint Software, etc. are not neccessry for me because I don't use it every day or every time

  • How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

    I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
    When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
    A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

    Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

    If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
    You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

    On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

  • No upgrade option given when you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium with version complete DVD

    I am trying to upgrade to Windows 7 on my Lenovo x 200 tablet which is currently under Vista 64-bit.  My first attempt was with a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit which, once started let me choose the upgrade option but then I notified (obviously) that would work to upgrade Vista 64 bit to 32 bit 7.  Since I also have a DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, I moved forward and put this disk to try to upgrade.  However, when I run the Setup it goes right to the choose what partition I want to put a new installation, do not allow me the upgrade option at all.  Why is this and how do I fix this if I can do an upgrade rather than a new complete installation then I won't lose all my programs and others and end up with a folder of big 'windows.old '?

    Which edition of Windows Vista are you attempt upgrade from?

    If they editions do not match, you will not be able to make a place in the upgrade:

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    I rebooted several times Vista since Vista SP1 download.  I tried to get my system prepared for a Boot (as several vital Programs are not yet supported) double Win7.  I keep getting stuck on the "0xc01a001d? / 99216 (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedData... "error.

    I have saved on an external USB hard disk and do not have the original system disks.

    I downloaded the Vista recovery disk.  On all options, he said that I could not restore.  He could not read the USB key to find the backup point.  He would not even install when I tried to reinstall.

    Y at - it a help to me.  I am a student and can get another copy of Vista from MSDNAA but would go instead by the download time intensive task, to find drivers on the Dell Web site (I have an Inspiron 1501) and reloading everything.

    ALL BOARDS

    Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Vista.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a network otherwise and before using a USB key that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  • Cannot enter 'log-in' page after the upgrade of VISTA SP1 x 32 SP2 with failure code 0xc0190036 340/47122 (explorer.exe)

    I was "forced" to upgrade my computer to SP1 to SP2 when I tried to download the latest msn who.

    The upgrade part wasn't serious and VISTA asked me to restart my computer after the upgrade. Then I REBOOTED.

    The problem came when the final stages of the upgrade, which took part after reboot. It was somewhere near STADIUM 1/3 or 2/3 and then suddenly all blackened. I'm POSITIVEMENT SAFE that my computer is connected to the power supply (mine is a laptop). And then when I start to restart my computer (the second time), I got this message

    0xc0190036 340/47122 (explorer.exe)

    Then I restarted and I got to a page where windows told me that my computer is not able to be marketed with success because of the recent changes I made.

    I did an upgrade from the night before, where I update the OFFICE GENIOUS sthsth (sorry, but I forgot the name). I need to upgrade this thing in order to be able to upgrade to SP2 (complicated huh? lol)

    I tried to use the recovery thing and save the thing but WINDOWS insisted that I do not have a recovery... I would say is quite disappointing...

    COMPUTER:

    HP 2133 NetBook

    I ' ve done some searching on the web but found nth related code 340/47122 and VISTA HOME BASIC x 32 and SP2...»

    The last method I want to use is the method of parameters factory reboot, restore... so here I am, ask help from experienced users. I don't have any DVD or CD ROM for the restart or what. any method that can safe me to restart my computer?

  • When you try to install the Vista SP1, getting error 800F0900 Code

    I'm unable to install service pack 1 for Windows Vista. It will go almost to the end of the installation, and then the error pops up.

    I installed system update readiness tool.

    I have rebooted background intel transfer serv, cryptograph serv and windows update.

    I tried going through windows update, but would not yet spent 0% of the dl. So I tried a few Fixer windows update and still the same thing.

    I've done the cmd as administrator and did the sfc/scannow, and he says there are errors that it is impossible to repair.

    I tried to make the findstr/c: "[SR]" windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log>sfcdetails.txt and retrieve a FINDSTR: cannot open windir\log\cbs\cbs.log.

    Then I tried c:\logs\cbs\cbs.log Notepad and get back that the system can't find the path specified.

    My laptop came with Vista on it so unfortunately I have no disk to work with.

    I have no answer why you cannot install SP1.

    My answer is on your trying to open the CBS.

  • Error while trying to upgrade to Vista SP1

    Well, I know this is an old topic with lots of KB articles, but I couldn't find anything to get my installation to work. For some reason any automatic updates offered never upgrade when it is released - this may have been due to my Dell audio player that I've changed since. I have downloaded the manual installation of Microsoft version and ran the installation. The green bar got all the way to the end before crashing with an internal error.

    Most of the articles suggest that I have download the update tool system which I did and also ran. He got about 75% of the green progress bar and then stopped. This has happened a couple of times and now it won't even start running. The window appears but the progress bar does not start moving.

    I really don't want to have to do a clean install and lose all my files. I'm sure there must be a way to solve this problem, but everything I tried (including ongoing execution using a boot Installer Clean and a safe Startup Mode) have not worked. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Installation of Vista SP1 with Windows Disk

    My computer (hp slimline s3773w) would never let me install the sp1.  I bought from a disk to install the sp1, but I him did not because of too much to lose.  What would be the best way to get sp1 is installed on my computer.  This is the full version of windows vista and not an upgrade.

    I wouldn't use the disc to do this.  I would download SP1 from Microsoft to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb738089.aspx and simply download and install it.  Until you do, run Windows update to make sure you're ready for Sp1 and up to date.  Once you have installed SP1 and updates with Windows Update - then and there will be a lot more and download and install them as well.  When you are finished you can then download and install SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a4dd31d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&DisplayLang=en.  Once done, yet once run Windows unsuccessfully to catch up on what youv'e missed since SP2 has been relased and then you should be completely up to date.

    I hope this helps.
