help w/isntalling windows 8?

Hello everyone, it's been a while, but I need help once again.

I received the email indicating that Windows 8 was available, so I bought it.   I downloaded and start the download at 7: 30 a.m. EST, I thought everything was fine, 12:00, the windows logo has been at the center of my screen and a dotted circle has been under the windows logo turns, so I assumed everything was fine.  I got up at 8: 30 a.m. EST and no change, I knew something was wrong.  I have manually stop the machine and restarted.  I get 3options: windows 7, windows 8, or windows installer, I select windows 8, the windows logo and the circle under the logo which turns! So I manually stop and this time I select Windows 7, then I get a message indicating that we could not install windows 8, we return your computer to windows 7.  All the time/effort in vain.  What I've done wrong? What can I do to make sure he's going through? any help/advice/tips?

For this system, you must update the Intel Raid driver in Windows 7 and RESTART before the upgrade to Windows 8. Try to install Windows 8 without installing this update will result in a failure to install Win 8 (back to Windows 7)

    I would try a Setup offline first before try something else.

    Somewhere during the download of WLE part, I have a suspicion

    as the files are to be damaged because of the speed, or lack of

    your internet connection.

    You can download and save setup proper, offline

    the link below and follow the instructions to see if it solves the problem.

    It's amazing to me the problem is often to find information to help on a simple topics in Microsoft Help and Support.  For example, as new Vista, I spent over an hour looking for the Protocol parameters to keep my window help and Support, always on top while I'm trying to follow his instructions on a topic.  All the variations of 'always help and support window always on top' I used, in the help on the computer, offline were in vain.

    So, can someone answer for me I do this?

    Hello

    1. dual Boot or new installation?

    2. you don't say what kind of Vista disk you use to install.

    3 have you checked on the HP website to see if these Comptuer models have Vista drivers available for their hardware?

    If there is no Vista drivers, you're wasting your time.

    Equip your computer model number, operating system for this information and see if there are troubleshooting steps for it.

    JOHN ROBERTSON VS

    Hi JohnRobertsonVS,

    Method 1

    Refer to the Microsoft article to download and install Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe), check to see if it helps.

    I can not open Help files that require the Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917607

    Method 2

    Try the method below and see if it helps.

    a. Open a command prompt window and run the following command:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    b. Press ENTER.

    Note: To open a command prompt window, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click run as administrator.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a corrupt system file search.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded. Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?

    * Original title: Windows 10 disappointment

    Recently, I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded.  I gave up 10.  I would like to return to the Windows 7 desktop.  If I buy or buy this software, I guess I have to 'wipe' 10 of my machine?  Or I would just download 7 top?   What I have found online are instructions for people who have updated to 10 and want to revert to an earlier version of windows.  In my case, I never had an earlier version on the machine I have now.  Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?  Online, local dealer?  Thank you.

    If I were you, I call HP and tell them that you do not want this computer with Win10.  They are very likely still sells machines with Win7 for businesses, because most companies do not affect the Win10 with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Dell is selling them for sure.  I've been helping my clients by computers Dell Win7 for a very long time now and just had one on my desk a week ago.  Look at the range of Dell Vostro of computers.

    The trick is to approach Dell as a businessman, and not as a normal consumer.
