  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

  For your information, Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is just a "water-down" version designed for computers cannot run the built-in Windows Movie maker 6.0

  Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
  2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
  Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
  Overview

  Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

  To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

  1. on the start menu, click all programs.
  2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

  If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

  If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

  .............................................................................................................................................

  Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

  How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

  If you like Windows Movie Maker 6.0 so, here's a tutorial to install it in Windows 7 computers.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  Try the upgrade again. If it does not work.

• Can I install Windows 7 on P6 2320ed?

  Hello

  I want to downgrade from W8 on my 2320ED P6.

  But my setup of W7 does not seem to recognize the hard disk drivers and is therefore not suitable hard drive to install.

  I tried to use pre-installed INTEL management engine interface (from SWSETUP) drivers but to no avail.

  Anyone?

  Hi Paul,.

  I got it but not working in an elegant way.

  First I had to use the connector, USB 2.0 (backwards) instead of USB 3.0 at the front.

  With the help of USB 3.0 I get the error "unable to find drivers.

  With the help of USB 2.0 installation has been able to see my disk and partitions.

  But when I tried to install W7 on this partition, you guesed already, it says: "Windows cannot use this drive because it is in the GPT format. After some reading I discovered that when you start with device MBR (which of course is my USB key) you can not install Windows to a UEFI/GPT disk.

  So I decided that I should not need UEFI features on this hard drive anyway so I removed by using DISKPART (from SHIFT F10 command prompt in the settings screen). Clean the partition and convert to MBR. Then return to the Setup screen, format and conduct regular W7 installation.

  Phew!

  So now it's on!

  (now having to find drivers W7 USB3.0 controller and some other SM bus controller)

  Anyway thanks a lot for your support.

  See you soon,.

• Why I can't install windows XP on my lenovo 3000 N500 4233-53U?

  Hi everyone I need help, why I can't install windows XP on my lenovo 3000 N500 4233-53U? When I boot on win XP and after he load some files it still stops & it become blue screen? Thank you...

  Hello, has the same task these day´s. This is my solution.

  1. create a custom Win - CD installation with nLite, www.nliteos.com and
  include Win Service Pack 3
  2. change the Bios setting from AHCI to IDE harddisk
  (Native WinXp doesn´t truly support AHCI Mode)
  3. when the installation of XP is complete, download and install the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows XP, Vista (32 bit) - ThinkPad" http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70477
  Follow the instructions "If you don't have a floppy drive...". »

  If this does not work with the step 1 and 2 and that you still have a blue screen during the installation, including the drivers of your installation of nLite CD

  Currently, there are problems with the download of the drivers on the Lenovo site...... so if you can not download the driver package... send me a message I´ll send you it by e-mail.

  Best regards

• Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

  Greetings!

  The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

  I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

  What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

  I do not understand your question about "interface."

  The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

  See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

  Your computer was preinstalled with:

  Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

  and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

  My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

  Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».
