• Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

  Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

  After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

  I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

  If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

  Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:

  I'd be interested to know if the solution worked for you.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)

  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

• I can install the full version of Windows 7 Professional on my computer Vista Home Premium? If so, how?

  I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer.  I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive.  Help!

  Thank you

  Here is the Vista Forums.

  You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
