  I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

  4. check your hard disk for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  User account control permission

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

  If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Issue product key with respect to the windows 7 upgrade Home premium 32-bit to 64-bit

  Hello

  I use my windows 7 Home premium 32-bit for almost 3 years and recently I want to improve my current windows Home premium 64-bit because I want to install more RAM for games. I have intel i5 processor, so install 64-bit should not be a problem.

  However, the problem is, I don't have that the geniue windows 7 home premium 32 bit DVD when I bought my PC that has the 64-bit DVD version has not been given.

  Good thing is, I found the link to the content of Digital River from microsoft to download the iso image of 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium 3 GB.

  My question is:

  My family version of Win7 32-bit premium is the traditional Chinese version. I'll be able to activate the 64-bit win7 using different regional versions of family win7 premium 32 bit key providing I install on the same computer?

  Thank you.

  Yes! You can activate Windows with the same product key!

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - Rhine II fast ethernet ADAPTER

  I am currently running XP SP3 32 bit on AMD Athlon 64, 2 GB RAM machine.  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

  I read this: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7

  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - version 64 bit says 9 questions, 8 of whom are software (Adobe, shockwave, .NET 1.1, etc.), but that makes me nervous is VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet adapt driver would need to be updated.
  I run Belarc and identified as VT8237 chipset. so I downloaded the latest driver here: http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp and got the 3.87 driver version dated Date may 5, 2011.
  I have re-ran Upgrade Advisor, and it is still showing that I have to get the latest driver.  I have the latest driver, using my CURRENT operating system to choose.
  Do I need to download the driver for the VT8237 selecting Windows 7 as OS?

  You need to download and save the driver Windows 7 for the VT8237.

  After the upgrade, you must apply the driver. Until you install the Windows 7 driver after the update you will not be able to access the internet.

  It would be wise download and save all drivers Windows 7 you might need for your system.

  The upgrade cheaper, assuming that the offer is available where you are, is to upgrade to Windows 8 at price special launch. You'll need the drivers Windows 8 If you did.

  Given that you want to move to 64-bit, you must upgrade to a club. If you have access to a 64-bit system, you can buy and download an upgrade in line 64-bit on this system. The upgrade is not bound to the system on which it is downloaded.

• 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.

• Satellite U400-15B - noisy fan after Toshiba WIndows 7 upgrade

  Hello world

  Question 1:
  Last week, I got my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from Toshiba. I'm leaving has upgrade and after 5 hours, the upgrade was complete. I have encountered a problem that the automated driver installed on the endgame wrong on the update of the BIOS because it is trying to write the backup file of the BIOS on the DVD. After a lot of pressure on the keys, I managed to get the installation to carry and then did the BIOS manually updated later. This succeeded and it updated to V4.80.

  Since the update of the BIOS, the fan noise is much stronger. I noticed it's from the fan that is to the right of the envelope, I guess it is the CPU fan. The fan that blows air on the left side of aeration wors as usual. Any suggestions? Should I get the BIOS, if so, how can I restore from the file BIOS.bak WinPHlash is?

• Windows 7 upgrade failed - disk HARD recovery does not work

  I just received my Windows 7 upgrade disc, followed the procedure and he managed to upgrade Vista 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit! Some drivers also seem to, were charged more than once.

  I tried to do a system restore from the recovery of HARD drive partition - and it won't!

  Can someone, please?

  Hello

  Drive HARD recovery does not work because Win 7 ran the Boot Manager and maybe the HDD partition has been affected.

  I guess you want to roll back to Vista preinstalled Toshiba.
  I think in your case, only the recovery disc will help you.

• Qosmio X 300 - 15U - key product for Windows 7 upgrade disc

  Hi all
  first post here :)

  I have a Qosmio X 300 15U and just bought DVD update for the operating system: to Vista64 for Windows 7 (home premium).
  I got it by Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade site.

  I installed the upgrade and it works fine, so far.
  Only possible problem for the future, is that I can't find product key label Windows 7 attached to the case of paper (probably lost) DVD
  I have the DVD (for other series, almost...)

  Anyone know if it is possible to make the Toshiba support, send my old Windows 7 key product or a new (only in the case of reinstall...)
  It also appears that Microsoft has validated my install via their tool (WGA, I think)
  I have to go back to using MS (paid), for such a (simple, for me) case?
  Hope not.

  Thank you very much.

  Bye,.

  Diego

  I don't know if Toshiba can send you a new label productkey, you must call the assistance service. But to find your product, you need a key research tool.
  Try [link: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/tp/topkeyfinder.htm] for a list of these programs.

• Where's my Windows 7 upgrade Kit?

  Hello

  I ordered my Kit to upgrade to Windows 7 in February
  and still can not get it

  I tried to e-mail sent to [email protected]

  but no more of this service is not available

  Web site: www.toshibawin7upgrade.com does not work.

  So I have a few questions:

  Where is my Windows 7 upgrade Kit and why they get my money back and is unable to make a delivery to my home in the Ukraine?

  Hi Buff

  I'm sorry to hear you are still waiting for order upgrade kit.
  You will not be happy with my comment, but I must say that it is user forum and no one here will be able to offer you help or answer your question.

  Try to contact Toshiba s hotline in your country and ask for help. Maybe they can help you with that.
  If you have received a confirmation e-mail from Toshiba try also to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. They have good contacts to Toshiba and I hope they can help you about this.

  In any case, I hope it will be get classified as update kit soon.
