  The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

  Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

  In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

• I have windows vista and I had to use my recovery disk, but an error came as it ended. I tried to use the menu options of recovery but now she plays as if I had no drivers. What should I do?

  I used my recovery discs and some sort of error came. so, it has not fixed the computer. so I think that some how drivers were not loaded. However what seems to be a driver came when I press my f12 button to use the system recovery options menu. but I insisted on using it, and another box came to tell the software installation media or something to use to load the drivers. I also tried to use the Startup Repair tool restore and system by surprise that I have on an external drive listed under windows backup care but nothing has worked. I don't know anything else to do.

  1. Open the 'computer '.
  2. Right-click on the drive in question
  3. Select the tab "Tools".
  4. In the error-checking box, click .

• Why can't I make a new tab in Firefox 3.6.16 manually? I have Windows 7 and did not have the problem with other versions of Firefox.

  My question says it all. I click on the new tab button and nothing opens. By clicking on the links will open a new tab, if necessary, or using "Open in new tab" seems to work very well.

  Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
  • Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

• I'm looking for a manual form PDF for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

  Hi Tech, representatives and mods,

  I'm looking for a file PDF instruction manual for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

  I am trying to solve some problems on the PC of my mother for him and she not Vista operating instructions supplied with the installation of the plant on his Dell Inspiron 531.

  Also, because of irreparable corrupt software problems, Microsoft technicians have ordered me a Windows 7 installation disc that came in the mail, but there is no manual and I would like to know the procedures of installation and the new UI so I install it.

  Anyone know where I can download manuals of instructions PDF for Vista or Windows 7? ... can't find on the Microsoft Web site, but maybe I can't find them.

  Thanks for any help,

  NuMetro

  
  

  Hi Aziz,.

  I appreciate of course send you these links to the instructions for the installation of 7 and Vista... I will use them when trying to fix computer Vista my mother sick.

  But it turns out there are some out there in free download e-book/PDF manuals, and one for Windows 7 is quite comprehensive, edited by a guy named Rich Robinson on http://mintywhite.com/books/ ... See the response, copied below, I got "JacK MVP" when he replied to my post on the Windows 7 forum...

  Hello

  Look at this page, http://mintywhite.com/books/

  You need to register, but it's good and free courtesy of Microsoft MVP.

  _________________________________________________________________

  It's a little complicated to register on this site... I click on a link to a book, then on the page following, I get my email address, then I get an email confirming my registration, by which I can get an e-mail newsletter every day with a new password to download e-books. If the newsletter has already been sent to this day there, I click a 2nd link in this email in order to receive another email with the password... then by clicking a link in the 2nd e-mail, I get to the page where I did enter the password... so I can download e-books... as easy as 1-2-3... 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11...

  TIP: the password appears to be the same thing every day, or was yesterday and today it's 'mintywhiteBooks '... How sneaky.

  For a minute there, I thought that this site was a kind of lure because on the page "to subscribe/instructions", where I get my e-mail, there are 2 jpeg images that resemble password fields and links, but they are not... I'm not sure of what those who are for.
  This mintywhite.com seems to be quite the site for amateurs and Windows technicians.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?

  Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.

  Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.

  After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.

  And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.

  Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:

• Google Chrome message "this computer will stop soon receive updates of Google Chrome for Windows Vista and Windows XP.

  Is someone can you please tell me when Google Chrome will stop supporting 2007 Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista Home

  Go Mary

  I posted a substitution for Vista and XP operating systems. Please follow my instructions in this thread, or switch to Mozilla Firefox or Opera browser:

  http://www.MSFN.org/Board/topic/175099-instructions-Google-chrome-end-of-support-VistaXp/

  I always highly recommend to switch to Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or one of many other supported browsers.

  While my dose turns off the message, you will NO longer receive updates of Google Chrome.

  Given that Microsoft will support Vista at least a year, I don't understand Google dropping support early reasoning.
