• Upgrade to Windows 7 Vista will remove any glitches?

  My laptop running Vista Premium 64 - bit, 4 GB RAM, cannot display the RAW files from my new Nikon D7000, using Capture NX2 v2.2.6. The laptop seems to have a little problem because the files display correctly when I turn on the computer of the user. But when I open the program under my name, the pictures do not show. I get the message saying that a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. If I switch to Windows 7, will be also transferred glitch?

  Update: I've upgraded to Windows 7 and now my photo software works very well under my user name (and all other users names too). I always wanted to go to Win 7 and the question gave me an excuse to do so. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for all your help.

• Why my VAIO VGN-FZ31S with Windows 7/Vista will only open in safe mode?

  I've been having a lot of trouble recently and think that it was caused by a virus.  However my Vaio only now starts in safe mode, and I have warnings that firewall is not on, and Microsoft Security databases are not executed.  However, I can't download MSE on the web, because I get an error message telling me that I can't download it because I am in safe mode.  Similarly, I get the same messge when trying to do other operations.  How can I get the computer opens in normal mode?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Two suggestions for you.

  Malware to disable your firewall and your safety programs.

  Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

• I want to add a Windows operating system. It takes on the boot drive?

  I have all of the required components to install Windows on a Mac Pro using VMware Fusion. The operating system Windows needs to be installed on the Mac startup drive, or can it be on its own internal drive? All the descriptions that I can find on the installation of Windows on a Mac leave a lot out and seem to assume that there is only a single disk and that the user knows all about the installation process. Should I format the Windows disc first? With what file system? I install the Windows OS first, then install VMware and hope she finds the installation? Who does what to whom and when? All links to this topic?

  Yes you can. See:

  Set up Windows on your Mac - Apple Support partition

  The only condition is that it must be installed on the internal drive. There are ways to move later to an external drive

  That's the only advice we can give you to see if you can upgrade to Vista:

  You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

  If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• Want to upgrade from Windows 7 Windows 8.1

  I have a pc touchsmart 310 and bought Windows 8 Pro on the drive. I want to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, and then download the free update to 8.1. I learned by a representative of Microsoft if I do an upgrade and not a "clean install" I would still have windows 7 and if I decided to move to windows 7 I was able to do because I did an upgrade and not a clean install completely erases the entire system.

  What I need to know, is if I'm doing this update, I continue to have the touchsmart feature? The touchsmart feature that will allow me to access the webcam, recipe box, Center app, facebook, twitter, HP Movie Store, doodle, add notes and etc? I was told by Microsoft to ask if you have a download that will allow me to have the touchsmart feature in windows 8 Pro. I talked to a representative, but I don't think he completely understood what I was referring to.

  It is the position of HP on the support of Windows 8 and of any computer HP have not supplied with Windows 8.

  Not all the features of Windows 8 may be available on all PCs.

  Your specific experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.

  HP provides upgrade instructions and the drivers will be available for the majority of Windows 7 systems sold after October 1, 2011.

  If you want to restore the original operating system after the upgrade, you must create HP recovery before you put on level support.

  Please note that if you purchased your system before October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed the drivers for them or upgrade of Windows 8 instructions. The upgrade of these systems can be difficult, if not impossible.

   

  and

  Important information about other limitations and requirements;

  Screen resolution requirements

  Limitations with DVD playback software

  Limitations with Blu - ray playback software

  Limitations with TV Tuner software

  Secure boot & other dependent features of UEFI

  Limitations with touchscreen capabilities;

  Windows 7 (and Windows Vista) PC equipped with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch features after update. HP computers with hardware key designed for Windows 7 (or Windows Vista) will provide a similar experience for applications point to touch only two after the upgrade to Windows 8. Computers Windows HP with touch input material will not load Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points. In addition, Windows 8 shots of edge may be unavailable due to the bezel embedded on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7 (and Windows Vista). HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before the upgrade. Note that the content created using applications such as Graphitti TouchSmart will be unavailable after the upgrade.

• Upgrades of license for Windows XP, Vista, 7

  I try to help someone who has a network of field and some problems.  I discovered that computers who have problems the more welcome editions of Microsoft Windows.  I would like to join these computers to the domain, I know cannot be done with the Home editions.  XP Home Edition computers do not have enough material to run Windows 7.  Replace computers is not an option.

  There are:

  2 - Windows XP Home Edition computers I want to upgrade to Windows XP Pro.

  1 - Windows Vista Home computers I want to upgrade to Vista Business.

  4 - Windows 7 family computers I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro

  Should what license I buy?

  Suggestions are welcome.

  Unfortunately, Microsoft does not offer more licenses Windows XP or Windows Vista.  It would be wise to invest in new computers with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed.  Examples

  You can make a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade by buying a Windows Anytime Upgrade: Windows 7 Home Premium to professional for each computer running Windows 7 Home Premium.

• I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Vista boot problems?

  original title: Windows Vista failed to start. I'll be able to upgrade to Windows 7, even if the computer does not start?

  Vista will not start after a Windows Update I tried to prevent. Tired of Vista. Ordered Windows 7 and want to upgrade. Can I switch by inserting the installation disk or I have to do a custom install and lose all the files?

  You cannot use an upgrade disk to do a full install - it will not activate (you would think that this has worked, but it didn't, and then you'll be stuck with having to re - install Vista with a full format and then update).  You need to upgrade a working Vista system started in normal mode.  It cannot be upgraded just by using the disc.

  I suggest you post your problem of Vista in the Windows Update Forum Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads , where updates experts will be happy to help you.  Please post with the information requested here:what to post in the Windows Update forum.  You must fix Vista before you can upgrade to Windows7 (unless you have a complete installation Windows7 disk then you can do an installation clean, but will not upgrade and you will lose everything on the hard drive that you save first).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
