• Windows Vista Upgrade shut down my computer at 03:00 and 7 hours disappeared

  After working on an Excel 2003 worksheet for seven hours on my computer (Windows Vista) most recent. A box suddenely appears asking if I wanted to save the spreadsheet I was working on that. Just as I clicked on save the computer automatically stop apparently down to install the updates, it had downloaded earlier (every day at 03:00 I see). My spreadsheet now appears as it did seven hours before. Is there a way to recover my work? Left on file temp perhaps, hidden away somewhere.

  I can't believe this kind of programmed computer crash is the parameter defaoult for Windows Vista upgrades, but it seems that to be this way.

  For future use, in addition to change the settings for upgrade by default to ask before downloading anything, as I do, is it possible (as it was years ago) to set up a recording every few minutes in Office 2003 automatic? If so, how should I do that.

  Hi ttam24,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  1. Open Windows Update (click on the Start button, click all programsand then click Windows Update).

  2. Select change settings and choose how you want Windows to install updates.

  Hi Jeremy,.

  Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
  There were a total of 10 updates:
  4 a security updates for Vista,
  1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
  1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
  1 windows Live essential 2011
  1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
  1 "" for Office 2010 "
  1 April 2013 malware tool
  I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
  I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
  Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
  How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
  Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

  All you need is a copy of the upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium. The price to

  and it's worth on this machine?

  This is, as always, a very difficult question, with different answers
  for different people. Here is my opinion:

  A change of the operating system should be driven by need, not only
  because a new version is available. You have a problem
  with Windows Vista you expect Windows 7 to solve? You have or
  expect to get new hardware or software that is supported in Windows 7.
  but not on Vista? Will there be a new feature in Windows 7 that you need
  or aspire to? Your job required that you have skills in Windows 7? Are
  you a computer lover who likes to play with what is most recent?
  If the answer to any of these questions is Yes (and your
  material is adequate for Windows 7), then you should get Windows 7.
  Otherwise most people should stick with what they have. There are
  always a learning curve and potential for problems when you take a
  not too big, no matter how wonderful everything you are
  contemplating moving to the East. Sooner or later, you will need to upgrade (to
  Windows 7 or its successor) because you want to support for hardware
  or software that you can't in Vista, but don't rush.

  I say all the foregoing despite the fact that I'm a big fan of Windows 7. I have
  It is the best and the most stable of all versions of Windows.

  considering that I should add more memory.

  Expected? If the performance of Vista are sufficient for what the computer
  is used, it will be probably at least as good as Windows 7.
  Unless you want to extend its uses, you probably have enough RAM.

• Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 10

  can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 10 one-step bypassing Windows 7, 8.1 etc.. ? For a free upgrade offer applies here?

  Hello

  You must purchase an operating system to be upgraded, regardless of which path to take.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 8

  I am currently running Windows Vista and is considering upgrading to Windows 8 times the computer company (Dell) and the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 gave me the OK to install Windows 8 Pro.  The latter say that 75% of my computer applications are compatible and listed the 18 who were not compatible (obsolete, update available, need to re-setup, solution available).  I am concerned about the graphics card drivers or network, operation bi-ecrans, etc.  What has been the experience with the functioning of previous programs, software and hardware with Windows 8 so far?  No work around?

  From Vista, you should have very few issues. You can visit the sites of manufacturers for updates to driver for Windows 8. Most of Windows Vista/7 drivers will work with 8 that he shares a very similar code base.
