I have a laptop on vista home-use. When you look in the control panel - and then to uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none? Each entry seems to have a different digital denotation, but apparently I should have only one entry maximum.
The reason that I ask is that I have had problems in the software. I want to uninstall everything that is not supposed to be there.
Some lines of programs listed show information... some lines are completed.
When you click on a line that is complete, I am allowed the usuall to uninstall, options etc.
When you click on a line that is not complete, I'm not allowed the option uninstall.
The Compact Edition and the full SQL Server can be installed at the same time without any problems. I saw SQL Server2005 apparently installed by a manufacturer, perhaps to support some software they have grouped in. He could have an Acer.
I do not know what cause the problem with the uninstall option is not available. Information to fill in these fields are in the registry.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall if you want to watch.
It could be the result of a broken uninstall or a bad registry cleaner. I'm not aware of anything that would fix this. You can try this http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
but you may have to reinstall programs later.
You need two redistributable Visual C++ if you have programs that need it, which is likely. They had several updates that fits into the list programs. I have two for 2005 and six for 2008.

Original title: Vista to Win 7 to win 10
I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. My plan is to install Win 7 and then move on to Win 10. I have a new full version of Windows 7 Pro SP1 with an activation key. I have experience update to Win 10 of Win 7, but worry about the installation of Win 7 over Vista. I guess I have to do a clean install. There is no problem to meet the minimum requirements of 10. Can someone give me some advice on the start-up of the conversion of Win 7? Just insert the disk? Everything has been backed up and it's ready to go! Thank you.
Since the family migration to Windows Vista Premium to Windows 7 Professional it will install a clean place, why not simply use your Windows 7 Professional product key to perform a custom Windows 10 Pro install from the go?
I don't see the need to bother installing Windows 7 Professional.

Im trying to fill the network so my ps2 connections can use the signal wireless to my laptop running vista Basic. When I click to bridge, I get a message saying that I need at least 2 internet connections. is this in any way about this?
Hi Jer9009,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
· Could you give the exact error code or error number you get?
To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.
A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.
For more information, see the link: create a network bridge:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-network-bridge

I have a laptop Windows 7 Home Premium, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.
I have a laptop Windows 7 Home Premium, I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I have the installation DVD for Win7 professional provided by Microsoft Partner Network. If I try Anytime Upgrade it note that I have the license key cannot be used for this purpose. What is the best way to upgrade the laptop?
I would prefer not to have to clean the laptop and do a fresh install.The interesting thing is, although the upgrade process Express reported a problem when the laptop has rebooted he went through several configuration steps, and she is now a professional Machine of Windows 7.I looks like that I don't have to take the measures described above.Thank youRussell -
I have a laptop running XP Home SP3 Ed who is stuck in a loop of connection, in other words, when I try to log on it says "loading your personal settings" will Flash on the desktop for a fraction of a second and then says "saving your settings" and brings back me to the right at the log on screen.
I do not have the XP disc to reinstall and there is no recovery console to access. I've seen on many other forums that the problem may be with the userinit.exe file and I tried to copy this file in front of my PC - but with the fact that it is Windows 7 64 bit I don't really expect to work. Is it possible to download the correct version of this file from anywhere?
Another thought I had was to install a different version of Windows XP from an old obsolete machine and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer the product key?
Managed to get windows reinstalled - all sorted now. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a Toshiba laptop Windows Vista Home. Recently, every time I close my laptop lid, and try to turn it on a few minutes later, the wireless devices were disabled. When I try to reactivate it from ConfigFree on wireless network connection to activate, it said everything was active except for wireless devices. The only way I can turn it back on is by restarting my computer. It only started happening recently and for first of all, I would stay on. No idea what's wrong?
Hello
Maybe this can help.
Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).
Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).
There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.
Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

Check support for the router and make sure that your using the latest firmware for the router.
Check the support site for the manufacturer of the computer and make sure that you use the latest drivers.

Download the drivers and extract them to a folder of your choice.
In Device Manager, right-click on the adapter.
Click Update drivers and choose her browse my computer for drivers.

I have Windows xp and Vista on the same computer, my fligth Simulator is on xp. How do I play for vista or I need to install Island all on vista
Hi, CPC,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive
I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive
Hello
You use the D: Partition of recovery in 3 different ways to reinstall the operating system.
1. you press a particular key or key combination at startup, F10, F11, Alt + F10 etc. to begin the process of recovery in new condition (as you bought) in the event of system failure.
2. start > programs > find software from the manufacturer of your computer > look for a recovery method
3. you can do recovery disk to reinstall the operating system in case of hard drive failure.
This will save you the purchase of the computer manufacturer's recovery disks.
The manufacturer will advise you on the options
