Failure to Win 7 Pro 64 Upgrade (update problems) "because the system is newer than the bersion of installation disk"

In despair because of the constant failure of Windows updates, I resolved to follow the suggestion of Microsoft with an 'install-> Upgrade' from my original installation disk.

After a short so that I get a message that it is not possible because my version is newer than the one on the CD.

Issues related to the:

  1. Why Microsoft finally proposes an update (patch) procedure that works correctly?
  2. Why Microsoft suggests a repair procedure (the upgrade of the installation disk) that does not work?
  3. Is there a way to force the upgrade procedure to do its job properly?
  4. Win 10 will have the same function of shit update?

I am running MS Windows 7 pro/64 SP1

Thanks for any helpful info

Hello

It would seem that your original DVD came without Service Pack 1.

Over time, you installed SP1 that makes the operating system newer than the one on the DVD.

Uninstall SP1 > do the installation of upgrade repair > reinstall SP1.

See you soon.

  • Since win 8, Fn + F8 upgrade only changes to the mode of plan on TECRA R850

    Hello

    My Tecra R850 - 1 CL (with Ericsson 3 G modem) has 2 LEDs for the network: a yellow for the WiFi LED and one light blue for 3G.

    Windows 7 64 bit, everything worked OK and Fn + F8 allows to enable or disable the WiFi and 3G.

    Since I've upgraded to Windows 8, Fn + F8 works only in flight mode, yellow seeing Wifi is always the same mode aircraft and blue indicator of 3G is almost always on, even when 3G is not connected or when the adapter is disabled.

    I did the upgrade of W8 with upgrade Toshiba Utilities, and the computer is up-to-date (BIOS and drivers).

    How you can not get a correct behavior for network LED indicators?

    > Since I upgraded to Windows 8, Fn + F8 only switches in airplane mode

    The Fn + F8 key combination 8 jobs to earn running a little different.

    Using Win 7, FN + F8 combination switches between Wlan, 3G and Bluetooth but to help to win 8 key combination passes ONLY the airplane mode ON and OFF.

I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

  • How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

    Question

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

    Version of Firefox

    3.6.3

    Operating system

    Windows XP

    User Agent

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

    Plugins installed

    • npmnqmp - 989898989877

    • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
    • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

    You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

    If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

    Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

  • Impossible to update plugins, because the "State of the plugin" page links to plain text

    Left in the Add-ons Manager, I clicked on "check to see if your plugins are up to date. When the State results page displayed, is in plain text, like this:

    Potentially vulnerable plugins
    State of plugin action
    Outdated plugins
    State of plugin action
    Unknown plugins
    State of plugin action
    These plugins are up to date

  • OptiPlex 160 BIOS updates not (because the fan is missing?)

    Hello

    I just had a 160 of Optiplex opportunity (model DC01T) with BIOS A06 and have tried everything so he could update BIOS A10, A09, A08 or A07.

    I downloaded the BIOS in DOS/Windows unified and put it on a key USB of FreeDOS.  When I run the package, it runs through everything and then restarts, but never actually updates the BIOS.  I tried to install Linux on a USB Flash drive, install the Dell OMSA tools and use dellBiosUpdate pointing to the A09. HDR file.

    For some reason any that also fails because the module dell_rbu does not ' / sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu / ' as it should.  No amount of copy 'init' to ' / sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type "also helps to correct this problem.

    The only thing I can think is that when the system restarts it goes to a "Fan Alert!" message because this unit didn't come with the fan & HD support.  I have one on its way, but if this warning/error is clearing the BIOS update flag then everything should work once the fan comes and I get that connected.

    If this is not the case is there anything else I should try?

    I finally got figured out if anyone is interested.  The fan error could be the cause of the normal update to fail, but by using a bunch of switches, you can force the update to install, and then restart.
