  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

• I am running vista and you want to go back to Windows XP. How to switch back?

  I bought a new hard drive. I installed vista. Which turns out to be is not very compatible with the rest of my equipment. I would like to go back to windows XP and get rid of vista completely. How do I do that?

  If you do not have your XP disc:

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send an XP Recovery disk.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  You are doing a new installation of XP, wiping the Vista operating system Partition from the hard disk containing Vista in the process.

  Follow the steps below in the link, to do a clean install; read the part where you remove the existing Vista Partition, create a new Partition, format, etc...

  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

• 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:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

  Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.

• I have windows 2000 and you want to know what I have to do to update my program

  I have a computer which was given to me which had not been used for awhile and has windows 2000 and I need to upgrade and do not know what to do help

  First of all, in my opinion, this operating system is already installed
  No matter, for the following reason:

  If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned, the first thing I have with it would be to reinstall the operating system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
  which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
  There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.
  If you reinstall Windows properly, you are playing with fire.

  Second, you must decide which version of Windows you want to
  install. Although you didn't, because you posted in Windows XP
  Forum, is that what you want to install XP? If Yes, let me point out that
  Windows XP has been interrupted, and find a copy for sale is now
  very difficult, except for a place like eBay. and if you buy it on
  eBay, you run the risk that you will get a pirated copy
  you will not be able to activate.

  Third, you must determine what that the hardware configuration of the
  the machine and determine whether it is adequate for any version
  Windows you want to install. An old machine like a race
  Windows 2000 is most likely insufficient for any version of
  Windows.

  And fourth, you may need drivers for some of the material in the
  machine for the version of Windows Installer. And with such an old
  machine, there is a good chance that there's no such thing as the drivers you need.

  What all this boils down to is the real possibility that you
  actually can't do anything with this machine without replacing the
  the majority of its material. And they can be economic to something
  do; you could save money and be better off buying a new machine that
  by doing this.

  • Internet Explorer 6?
  • Internet Explorer 7?
  • Internet Explorer 8?

  Yes - the instructions may vary by"version", if you need to know what version (ALT + H, yet the ALT key, release H and press A then all the buttons then in Internet Explorer) Internet Explorer you use.

  For example: to delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer 7

  1. Open Internet Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking Internet Options.

  2. Click the general tab and then, under browsing history, click delete.

  3. Under history, click clear history, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the history.

  4. Click close, and then click OK.

  To remove all or part of your browsing history in Internet Explorer 8

  1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the Start button and then about Internet Explorer.

  2. Click the safety button, and then click delete browsing history.

  3. If you do not want to delete the cookies and files associated with websites in your Favorites list, check the box of data from the Web site preserve Favorites .

  4. Select the check box next to each category of information you want to delete.

  5. Click Remove.

  As for the rest of your question - you need to better define what you mean by "go private" because if all you want to say is do not keep a history - just sure the value 0 days or put empty when you close Internet Explorer.  I wouldn't consider that private browsing, but some might if they are simply hidden some of their most obvious pieces of the local prying.

• Im running windows vista and office 2007. Many of my files are not open and I get the message "application not found" How can I reapir this?

  I recently had my computer repaired and Office 2007 has been reloaded. Now I get the message "not found when I try to open some files and application for a single file, «windows cannot find the file...»» ».

  If I change the name of the folder, some files were opened.

  In one case, the file opened under the new name [I added a letter], then later not open again - got the same message "application not found" and the Red Cross of death.

  Hi Martin,

  How you try to open the file? You are double clicking on the icon of the file to open or by using the menu file-> the option open in the application to open the file?
