• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will work (unexpected error)

  My Vista Machine won't work for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It is said he "encountered an unexpected error" (not too informative, huh?) and advise the relocation, which does not.  Or no tweaking startup with msconfig and disable my antivirus/firewall. The program is in the "zone of confidence" anyway. How can I get a handle on this problem?

  Here are a few advanced WMI troubleshooting you can try.

  1. on Windows XP Pro and Vista, run the two separate commands to
  recreate the Windows Management Instrumentation database files.

  NOTE: Under vista, there must be run from an administrator command prompt commands

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.

  type controls 2 successively, hitting enter after each one.

  WMIC \\root path "__espacenoms '" delete

  mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

  2. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, save the
  WMI DLL files with the steps below.

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.
  b. type the following commands one by one, and then press ENTER at the end of each
  command:

  CD /d %windir%\system32\wbem
  for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 %I s
  for %i in (*.exe) do %i/regserver
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mof "" ') do mofcomp %s
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mfl ' ') do mofcomp %s

  Note: The WMI Tester window may appear, it is
  normal and we can move forward to close.

  Let me know if this helps, please also indicate any error you see in the above process.

  Tried to reboot Windows - same error.  Tried to reinstall the program - same error.

  Not exactly increase my confidence in this new version of the Windows operating system.

  Also - Why can I not do windows error message with the text that you can cut and paste.  That would make it easier to type all over again.

• HP Pavilion & "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.

  Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?

  So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".

  The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?

  I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.

  In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?

  Best regards, Willem

  My problem has been resolved.

  Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.

  I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".

  And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.

  So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.

• Windows 7 upgrade advisor, program compatibility HP Media

  owner of an HP dv6-1245dx. Always running vista, upgrade to 7 soon.

  I downloaded the windows Upgrade Advisor 7, I ran the program. 3 mistakes come in saying I have the version of the HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV program

  I click on him "click here to get a compatiable version," programs.

  1. I click on HP Media Smart DVD, it takes me to a page where it wants me to download a version for HP touchsmart... but I do not have an HP smart touch, I a dv6 (wrong product).

  2. I click on the HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, which brings me to random about the software with no upgrade or products page

  3. I click on th HP Media TV, I see that he wants me to download an older version of the program.

  so I download, install, restart my computer, run the Upgrade Advisor, hoping to see that there are 2 errors, but NO, the HP mediaSmart TV said it must still be fixed... which I just did again!

  Basically the first link go to a page of bad product, and the second link sent me to a random page that talks about program and it does not recognize that I just fixed one of the questions that he told me to fix.

  Can you guys help out me?

  What are the program version compatiability of HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV, which will allow me to level to windows 7 safely?

  Hello

  Windows 7 upgrade advisor is not so smart as you think. It showes sometimes bad results.

  According to this document from HP to down:

  The upgrade to Windows 7

  Question:

  Unable to uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD in Windows 7.

  Fix or workaround:

  Uninstall MediaSmart DVD before the upgrade to Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 7, install the compatible version Windows 7 HP MediaSmart DVD the DVD Upgrade Wizard at level HP or www.hp.com/support .

  Which means then you just uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD before upgrade.

  When you're after update just install all of the latest software for MediaSmart and everything should be ok.

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

  I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

  A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

  The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

  The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

  Where should I go now?

  Notes:

  • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
  • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.
  • If you use software like iTunes or Adobe programs, don't forget to remove and disable them before you run the installation program.

  Back up your data:

  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. Windows Vista, depending on the edition you are running includes a form of backup. If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

  If you are running editions such as Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium, the only option available to backup the standard backup and restore that archive the records of your account with some settings. If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

  See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

  Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows Vista is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

  Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

  What you can do before performing the upgrade?

  You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

  Other things you can do:

  1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
  2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
  3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.

• Cannot download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

  I can't download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Everytime I try it says "Connection interrupted", but there is nothing wrong with my connection. I had the same problem when I bought a Zune and tried to download the software necessary to run it (I had to go back because I never solved the problem) now I think, I never seem to be able to download anything from Microsoft, but I don't have an active version of Windows Vista with the valid product key.

  What should I do to fix this? I will pass a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64 bit 7 as soon as get the boot disk (I have to wait for the boot disk, right?...) and I want to get things ready. Thank you.
