• The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

  A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

  That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

  I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

  How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

  Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

  Thank you!

  You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

  Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

  If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

  A clean installation will wipe everything.

  You cannot transfer programs.

  It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

• After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 games installed in my laptop (Chainz, Cubis and Bejeweled, etc.) have bars on each side when displayed in full screen.

  I have a laptop Acer Aspire with a screen 16:9 wide (15.6 "), it has the latest graphic drivers ATI and all operating system updates.  After the upgrade to W7 (free upgrade with the purchase of the laptop) everything works wonderfully except all the games installed now not displayed in full screen, I get black bars on both sides, they used for Vista, but not with W7.

  I already tried different settings in the games options, administrator, resolutions screen different, being run in maximized 'Vista' and 'Run' mode of the file properties dialog box shortcut and .exe.  This happened without any security program installed that is not a factor.

  I am at a loss.

  This is to maintain the ratio l / h. It is how the images stretch. ATI no longer has the opportunity to play with the proportions for the sort of stuck like that unless you can find in your version of ATI Catalyst. It is in fact full screen as opposed to windowed mode, but it does not cover the entire screen.

  You can try different resolutions within the application to see if it will actually make your apps full screen to use the entire screen. That's all, remains to be done. I don't know why ATI has decided to exclude this option because some people hate the black bars or hate the stretched images.

• Problem of PC keyboard laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-224NR after the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop PC Compaq Presario CQ60 224NR Vista Service Pack 2 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1.  I updated the drivers before upgrading and checked for the latest drivers after upgrade also.  After the upgrade, the keyboard of the laptop works only partially when I use a web browser.  This includes IE and Firefox.  Above the QWERTY keys do not work correctly.  If I press one of these keys or SHIFT and one of these keys, the last character, symbol, or space I typed before is repeated instead.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Well, I searched for several hours and found a solution, at least for me I am a customer of Comcast and I installed constant guard.  There is a key logger that is included in the package that it causes the problem.  I uninstalled GuardedID and my problem disappeared.  I hope it works for you.

• The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I'm trying to upgrade my Toshiba Vista laptop to Windows 7 (as a prelude to the Windows 10). The Intel PROset wireless WLAN presence is making it impossible to upgrade complete. Software Intel is in the list of software installed (in programs and features), it does not provide an uninstall option.

  The Toshiba PROset uninstall instructions in their Windows 7 upgrade Instructions are vague:

  1. navigate to the location where the component

  a. Intel PROset 32 or Intel PROset 64

  2. double-click on the component to activate the component

  3. click on 'Start' to begin the installation.

  4 and further information on installing the software - which is very curious because the software is already installed.

  What they speak - which component - where?

  I tried to work around this problem by downloading the software Intel PROset 32 from the Intel site and install them, then uninstall, but it had no effect the previously version PROset install so I still have the same problem, I started with.

  Can someone help with this?   I have the Toshiba Satellite L305-S5946.

  Well, I tried to delete all instances of the registry PROset but that didn't work so I started nose autour in the folder of Toshiba.  I found the magic Installer under C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Comps1\Intel Proset utility (\Manual\B27688A). EXE which is be a demanding free exe to the installation of the Intel Proset utility.  So I installed and uninstalled then (Yes the uninstall option was now available).  So you can see the name of the exe file as it should have been obvious that he was the "element" that Toshiba was talking to in their Windows 7 upgrade description.

  But thanks to you all for your support.

• Why does take more than 20 hours to run MSE from the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 a couple of days.  Normally, I run a full scan of MSE once a week at night while I'm SLEEPING.  Since upgrading to Windows 7; MSE 5% complete the next morning.  I don't know why it happened - please let me how to fix it.

  I suspect that the problem is that your computer came into fashion "sleep" during execution of MSE.  There are a number of discussions related to that on this forum as the following: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect_scanning/why-doesn option is to change your power settings to prevent the "sleep mode", and then change them back.  What I do is run a small program called insomnia which remains visible on the screen, so I remember to turn off once the scan is complete: http://insomnia.en.softonic.com/

  How your problem is related to Windows Update (compared to the Windows upgrade)?

• Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

  After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

  If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

  I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

  Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

  With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

  Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

  I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

  -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

  I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

  Good luck!
