• Scanner HP Scanjet 4200C: cannot upgrade Windows XP to Vista

  After the migration from Windows XP to Windows Vista I can no longer operate my scanner HP Scanjet 4200 C. I installed the original series of scanner HP 4200C software and plugged the scanner via the USB interface. The software starts up, but cannot find the scanner. After reviewing the HP web page I discovered that HP does not provide an upgrade to Vista; the last update they provide is for XP and not Vista-compatible. Everyone had the same problem and found a solution?

  HP has written drivers for their products, not Microsoft.

  If HP has said that there are no Vista drivers for your printer model, it has none.

  You will need to consider buying a Vista Compatible Scanner.

• Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

  Original title: invalid product key :(

  Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Cannot upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate Edition after the HD upgrade

  I have an ASUS computer which is about five years old and works fine. It runs only Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
  The HD has been giving signs which is failing. I bought a new HD and copied the old HD to the biggest news. Everything seems to work fine until I tried to run Windows Update.

  I found the solution to this problem. I went to another Windows help forum. It is to reset the Windows Update program. I tried the one here on the Microsoft site, and it did not work. But I tried this one http://wind8apps.com/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/ and the fist solution worked like a charm. He fixed the update and install issues with Powershell 2.0. After that and a certain number of updates, it's updated, Windows Update will update to the latest version. After this release he went and found many updates, I had to install. So be patient, you're in for a little wait.

• Cannot upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 but my computer dosent want to upgrade window xp sp1i have a hp pavilion a510nwhat should I do?

  This isn't your fault. Microsoft has dropped the ball on this one.

  If you have JUST performed a CLEAN INSTALL of XP and you are at the SP1 level, you can do the following (somewhat tedious):
  Preliminary work:

  Download the SP3 installation files (SP2 is not necessary if you already have SP1 or SP1a!), IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

  5 install MSE.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  8. reactivate the automatic updates.

  In case you're not SP1 and SP1a level (effectively SP0), download the following installation to SP2 at the same time, you do your preliminary work leading up to:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28

  Of course, you install it before installing SP3.
