  Hello

  There are free downloads of Windows 7, but you would need a product key to activate it. It is therefore of no use to you.

  You should contact the manufacturer of your laptop, in your case, Toshiba and get the Windows 7 Upgrade in the time to take advantage of the offer.

  This is the upgrade Option:

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program takes place June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time to upgrade Option.

  Unfortunately, it has expired.

  For more information about the offer, please contact Toshiba.

  This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  With a Toshiba, you press 0 (zero) to the starter to start the process of recovery back to the factory settings.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

• sfc/scannow foud the corrupted files after upgrade from Vista Home Premium 32 bit

  Hello

  It is an event that I went through:

  (1) recently I received a bunch of updates to Vista Home Premium 32 bit, after I did the update I decided to perform sfc/scannow task and this is the error message I got the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to fix them." Details are provided in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS.log newspaper. For example c:\windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log

  Repair of system files change will take effect after the next reboot.

  (2) so I did restart and then try to run the sfc/scannow task once again, but I still got the same message I described in step 1 again. So basically sfc/scannow function did not repair the corrupted files.

  (3) the next step, I decided to perform a repair Installation of visa which took me 10 hours to complete the task, once the task of upgrading of repair has been made and before the windows update, I ran sfc/scannow task and this time he finds any corrupted files, but after I updated windows sfc/scannow result was the same as step 1.

  It is obvious to me that one of the updates of the origin of this problem, but find it me hard to pinpoint that one. So I am writing this e-mail to help and I hope that the problem will soon be solved. Please let me know if you need me to submit the CBS.log file for you to review thanks in advance.

• How can I do an update instead of a new installation if you are using Windows Anytime Upgrade from Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate?

  I have a server at home, but one of my main computers cannot remotely access because it is running Vista Home Premium.  As a result, I bought a Pack anytime upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.
  When I ran the installer, it downloaded updates to update and then opens a screen where the options are updated or install fresh.  However, the update option is grayed out and there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying that if I want I must must upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
  A new facility is out of the question for me.  I'm almost 2 years of work on the machine and it is set as I want.  I have a few training licenses, I don't think I'd be able to reinstall it.  Besides, I don't want to spend days and days software and reconfigure my system.
  I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, but I want to leave this machine as a Vista machine.  At I throw my money on the upgrade pack or is there someway around this problem?

  Looking for a difference in numbers/Service Pack levels.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

• Will be able to upgrade my Vista Home Premium, 32-bit Windows7 computer refuses to upgrade to SP2?

  Microsoft told me I can improve my Vista Home Premium to the Enterprise version of Windows7, but it will be a "clean install" (install uninstall complete.).  Should I wait for problems if my computer will not upgrade to Vista Service Pack 2? (I tried all kinds of solutions Microsoft FixIt and Disc Check).

  Hello

  1 have. what troubleshooting measures you tried?

  2. do you get any error code or error message by updating to service pack 2?

  If you can not upgrade to Service Pack 2 for Vista which should not cause concerns to a clean install of Windows 7 and you should be able to do well.

  I suggest that you run Upgrade Advisor before you start the installation of Windows 7.

• Cannot run Canon MP Navigator on Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

  Hello

  Would appreciate if someone could come up with a solution to this. Have had my Canon MP560 multiprinter for a year - never had a problem with printing or scanning. However, today when I tried to scan the printer it did not work. For scanning to occur with the buttons on the printer MP navigator must open - where the problem. (I am able to scan via windows live photo gallery).

  I also can't open MP navigator in stand alone function. I've deleted and reinstalled with the latest drivers from the website of canon (according to canon tech advice), but no change. I tried to run as an administrator - but nothing works. By opening the location by clicking on mpnex30.exe file does nothing.

  Is there a way to get this exe file to work - and why it suddenly stopped working or something stopping to go to the top?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can offer on this subject!

  Hi thanks.

  Had nothing to do with the profiles or user accounts. Technical support level 2 Canon has managed to help me sort out them. Another program in the TWAIN_32 folder has been intefering with the Canon file at this location. I just had to remove the offending file from there and hop right!

  I guess you guys at MS should he noted down in case anyone has the same problem as me!
