• I have Windows Vista and you need to install Windows XP Home Edition. Vista doesn't let me. What can I do? I need XP for my Quick Books program in order to make books. Please help me.

  This computer was given to me by my kids.  I had with Windows Vista already installed.  I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program.  Vista will not let me install XP.  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

  You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

  If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

• I have Windows Vista and you want to know, if I switch to Windows 7, will I lose my files, programs, settings and virus protection?

  Currently I have Windows vista. I want to upgrade to windows 7. I would lose my files, programs, settings, and virus protection

  original title: upgrade

  If you do an in place upgrade your files and programs will remain on the computer. If you perform a custom installation, you will need to back up your files and reinstall your programs.

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

  If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

  Windows Vista Home Basic	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business	Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Ultimate Edition	Windows 7 Ultimate

  For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
  You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

• I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards. How can I fix it?

  I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

  Hello FrankHeinsohn,

  Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

  Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.
