I want to uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and go back to Vista.
This device comes preinstalled with Vista so that I only have the recovery disks that I made when I first set up the computer. How can I uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and reinstall Vista?
BogeyB,
If you have made a real upgrade (overlay on Vista), you might be surprised. Click on the computer and open the D Recovery drive. Open the folder named Recovery. Look at the bottom left corner.
What is the date of creation? Mine is from 2007. I do not superimpose WIN 7 until 2011, but the recovery is still 2007.
It's actually your full version of Vista recovery... it didn't get deleted or altered, except if you did.

I need to uninstall I-Tunes before the upgrade to Windows 7 and I'm afraid that I do; lose any music library? I'll be able to download I Tunes and recover my music library >?
original title: Windows 7 upgrade from VISTA?Hi Jrawie,
If you want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7, you won't lose iTunes music library. However, there is a chance of losing the music of iTunes library if you choose custom installation.
You can see the Microsoft article for more information on the upgrade:

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

Since the upgrade to Windows 10 and Creative Cloude 2015 (about the same day...), my pen (Intuos 5 Touch) is so much trolling and does more work with it. I downloaded the latest drivers. What should do? Thank you, Dany
Hi Dan,.
Please ensure that your Pen drivers are up-to-date. (check the manufacturer's Web site)
Also, what exact version of Photoshop and Lightroom are you using?
Search for graphics card drivers update as well.

Hey old77mountainman
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc
they do it for a nominal cost
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards
you normally start the recovery at startup process by pressing F10 or F11 etc.
Ask them of the correct key sequence
and see if the information on the link below applies to you on the windows.old folder
This article describes how to manually restore a previous Windows installation on the computer to replace the current installation of Windows 7.
To do this, you must use the command prompt, and you must type specific commands at the prompt to rename and move folders between the different versions of Windows.

I am trying to install Windows 7 as an upgrade to Windows Vista, and it tells me that I need to uninstall my wifi/wireless Intel ProSET software (I have a Toshiba laptop, A350). I hesitated to do it, but finally I uninstalled the software and of course now do not have internet. I know that I can connect my modem for internet needed tough (via USB), but first I have some questions about the wireless...
(1) because I lost my connection Uninstall wireless, I tried to get it back and didn't know how else do a restore of Windows. I tried to restore to a restore point before I uninstalled the software, and then restart it says that Windows cannot restore because of an unspecified error. What could be this error? I tried several restore points and I get the same error.
(2) how can I get the software reinstalled if I want to stay with Vista for now wireless? Do I need to download it from the Intel site? I can't find the software Intel ProSET wireless wifi on my computer.
(3) if/when I install Windows 7 correctly, it'll reinstall my driver wireless automatically or do I have to manually reinstall software ProSET Intell wifi from the Intel site?
Thanks in advance for the help!
See http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK or the local Toshiba site. The software you need is available for download.

17-f048nr Notebook PC Pavilion: scroll doesn't work do not, the upgrade of Windows 10
So after much hesitation, I just upgraded to windows 10. Now I regret it.
I used to be able to scroll by touchpad, now I can't. I researched solutions and tried to go to Snaptics (on my computer, it says "Snaptics Clickpad V8.1" If that tells you anything), but when you click on it it is said:
"Unable to connect to the Snaptics Pointing Device Driver.
If you have installed a different PS/2 driver pointing device please uninstall the snaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again.
You want to uninstall the snaptics driver now? " And then gives the options Yes or no
I don't know what that means, or what I have to do to fix it. Any help is appreciated!
Hello
Try the following.
First, download the installer of the Synaptics software on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp72001-72500/sp72344.exe
Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the laptop.
When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. When this has completed, restart the computer again.
Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons". Since the new layout, select the Synaptics entry and check the scrolling options are checked and save any changes - see image below.
Kind regards
