  Hello
  Having some difficulty understanding what it is I should do before installing a new upgrade of windows 7. I have the disk to upgrade, but discovered only today I now have to perform a customized installation because I'm upgrading from vista home premium to windows 7 Professional.

  So, this means that all program etc. files must also be backed up as well as the usual save multimedia files, photos, etc..

  HOW HOW HOW do I save my program files for example office microsoft, mcafee internet sicurity? Is it as simple as the copy on a CD/DVD-R?

  IM so confused, please help!

  You cannot save programs and then copy them to another system.

  You must reinstall them from the original media. Make sure you have all the license keys you need to reinstall before you start.

  Hi B Pick,

  Thanks for posting us the Forum of community of answers.microsoft.com.

  Since he had been some time since your last post, we marked this as resolved.  Recently I saw messages and found that you had posted about it recently.  Sometimes if a thread shows solved it do not get reviewed again, so, my apologies, it took some time to answer.

  A point of interest in considering the issue of "unable to create a user account having administrative rights" is can create you an account that has no administrative rights from another account and then you use that has administrative rights?  Information Justin had submitted and information, I'm reviewing, it would be very beneficial for our steps in troubleshooting to have this documented as being verified.

  You would present to us in the forum if this is something you are able to accomplish in a new administrative account that you create for this system?

  In another order of ideas, it would be that there are suspicious software loaded on the system.  Try running scan of Virus and malware removal tool.

  Here are some links for the Microsoft-Authored applications for these procedures.  Check if these are products that you want to use, or if you have already produced in place for this activity to use them if you wish.

  You can download the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool here:

• (Word2007 and Acrobat Reader 9.3) software applications do not respond (show the codes of errors/etc) ONE of my user accounts (running Vista Home Premium 64); will work perfectly on all the other (total of 3) user accounts.

  8.3 and word2007 Acrobat (version family and student) does not not in one of my user accounts - no problem in others; downloaded Acrobat 9.3; problem persists in Acrobat; Failed to get support for Word as they know is no longer my (expired) product key. Any method to repair/restore/reinstall to only the affected user account.

  Hi Chuck41,

  Since both applications work correctly on some other user accounts except the account of a user that can occur if this user account is damaged.
  You will need to create a new user account and then transfer the file and the settings of the user account damaged to the new user account.

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards
  John

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  Hope this helps,

• How to change the system from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate 64 withoute lose the option of HARD drive backup?

  IM now running Vista Home Premium 32. I would like to change the system for Vista Ultimate 64 so I can run more than 4 GB of memory. Now Ive some factory settings if something happened, I can run my HARD drive restore. My question is how to change the Vista 64 operating system, so I can keep the recovery on my hard drive partition?  Mayby there is some kind of upgrade cd?

  Thank you

  Hello

  32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade

  It must be done with a clean installation using a full version ' / Ultimate 64 bit license

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer for more information on getting 64-bit ultimate, which I doubt they will always

  and microsoft sells more vista

  they moved on windows 7

  and you are supposed to make this partition recovery disks to reinstall vista

  ask the manufacturer of the computer how to
