  Title: Convert Compaq 7100 CMT from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro.

  Hello everyone. The Windows XP Pro on my Compaq 7100 CMT is replaced with Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) using a system OEM disc that I bought in a PC shop. The computer is 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 2 GB ram, HDD with a 320 GB Seagate 7200 RPM ATA serial / min. plug some additional computers, Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, s/n system {removed privacy}, {removed from privacy} inventory number Council ch h 0968, bios hp 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004. Physically disappears the 40 GB hard drive with XP Pro and the 320 GB drive (currently 1 player) will be used as drive 0 and Windows 7 Pro is installed. He probably won't be partitioned into two drives. A Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor report was generated for this computer, and is the main concern of this report, "virtualization technology is not supported, this PC does not support hardware virtualization assisted". As you know that this statement refers to the XP mode which is optional for Windows 7 Professional.  My question is what material makes this PC not support for virtualization technology, and this PC can be modified to support the necessary hardware. I'm a novice at this sort of thing so maybe I do not understand what that means here the report. In addition, another concern of mine is how will the PC really run Windows 7, it will be too slow for example. I would appreciate your help and comments.

  Thank you

  Hey, Oscar:

  There is no processors VT supported for the dc7100, so activation of VT in this machine is not going to happen.

  If you have integrated Intel card, is not entirely Windows 7 or Vista capable.

  Here is the link to a graphic driver for laptop that will allow the graphics acceleration and a change in screen resolution, but you won't have Aero under any circumstances.

  You download and run the install file. It will be the error. Close the error window.

  You will need to manually install the driver by clicking on the VGA adapter in Device Manager. Click on update driver driver. Select travel it my computer for the software method and navigate to C:\SWSetup\sp34749. Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and the driver should install.

  Otherwise, you can buy a video card compatible windows 7 (PCIe x 16 2.0), who will work in your diet 345W specifications.

• If I switch from XP Pro tp Windows will I have program compatibility problems - as with Adobe Acrobat, Corel WordPerfect, MS Office 7, etc.

  If I update to Windows XP Pro tp will be I have compatibility problems of program - as with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Word Perfect X 3, 7 of MS Office, MS Project 10, Blackberry Desktop Manager, etc..  The facility will be transparent by keeping all of my existing files / content? I need to reload any program?

  What version of Windows you are migrating towards?

  Check the compatibility of each program by accessing the Web site of the Publisher. In addition, many companies, such as Adobe, have their own forums which will give experiences of other users to use a particular version of a program on a particular version of Windows.

  If you upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can use the compatibility of Microsoft here for a guide Center:

  (I personally prefer to check sites and forums of the manufacturer however)

• Media Vault 5140 Pro with Windows 7 using

  Windows 7 was released shortly after I bought my Media Vault Pro 5140. NTI DriveBackup! 4 software (OEM Version) provided with the Media Vault is incompatible with Windows 7.

  I don't find any information indicating that HP will support the use of the MV with Windows 7. I use the MV strictly as a file server or NAS and backup of my PC (so far limited to Windows XP computers since I can not backup my Windows 7 to the MV machines).

  The OEM of DriveBackup NT provider is NewTech Infosystems, and they have a commercial product called NTIDriveBackup! 5.5 which is compatible with Windows XP and 7 (the two OS in use on our PC in a network).

  Has anyone tried to upgrade the NTI DriveBackup! 4 (OEM version) to the release version 5.5? I fear that there may be some improvements in the OEM version of make the NTI software works with the MV5140. If it will not integrate well with the HP Media Vault Pro Control Center, is there a reason any v5.5 NTI software would not be able to backup on a Media Vault drive when used as a standalone application?

  You should be able to use any backup application that supports support upward to network drives. The HP Media Vault includes a file server that is compatible with Windows 7, so, for example, you can map a drive letter to a share on the Media Vault, as card drive X: (or another available drive letter) to \\hpmediavault\backup.  You can then use your backup application to back up your hard disk drive X: note, that if you renamed your Media Vault, you need to specify the correct name, "hpmediavault" is just the name of the default server.

  However, as you said, the link on the HP Media Vault control center not properly join your backup application, so you will need to start your application to backup manually.

  Hope this helps.

• Impossible to connect from my VIC to the host using the host name.

  Hi guys,.

  When I try to log in from my VIC to the host, I get this message (see photo) but if I use the work just the IP address. I check my DNS and host VMware was not there so I created a PTR record that connects the IP with hostname, I update the DNS, but still nothing happens. Any idea?

  Thank you.

  I was almost positive it is a dns issue...

  You can test the host name of the workstation that you are trying to connect from? try clearing your cache dns on the local workstation-

  > ipconfig/flushdns

  If for some reason that doenst work, and then add the host name of the node to your hosts file

• need to update from XP home to Windows 7 Pro and do not want to lose the software I loaded

  Original title:

  Fusion on Mac

  I need to move from XP home to Windows 7 Pro on the side of the merger of my Mac. I have 3 computers I have to do this on.  Then I load the full version and not lose the software I have on the side of the fusion of windows or do I have to use the upgrade. If I lose the software I have loaded I have to buy it again.

  I'm sorry for there is no way to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 that can keep your installed programs.  By using the full path or upgrade doesn't make no difference in this regard.

• Satellite L500D - impossible to go from Vista to Windows 7

  Last week I deicde to reinstall windows to give the laptop a clean place.
  I rebort him out of box sitting at Vista. Now I am trying to upgrade to window 7 with Toshiba upgrade disk but I have ' windows has no load the required files may be corrupt.

  How can I fix it?

  Should I just wait for them remedy?
  Or is it easy for me to fix it?

  Or could I just go out and buy window 7 upgarde and pop in the laptop and install well work?

  Thank you
  Lily

  Hi Lily,

  You have used the disk to upgrade to Windows 7 in Toshiba or was it a normal disc of Windows 7 from Microsoft?

  In my opinion, this error message means that the file on the disc can t be read properly. Maybe the disc is scratched or your CD/DVD drive doesn't work properly. Have you tried other discs?

• How can I move mail and contacts from Outlook Express on a computer that is running XP Pro to Windows Live Mail on another computer in Windows 7?

  Can someone please provide a solution step by step? Most of the messages and the links here seems to apply to a different situation, as OE6 and WLM residing on the SAME computer, or under the SAME operating system. Not so in my case.

  I see that Windows Live Mail is supposed to be able to import contacts and emails OE6. But where am I supposed to put old OE6 files on the computer so that Windows Live Mail can find them? OE6 only let me "export" to Outlook or Microsoft Exchange, nor of what exists on my old computer, nor my other!

  Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

  For messages:

  Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

  Location of OE message store:

  In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  For addresses:

  Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

  Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

  Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
