  Alternatively, you can try to install the patch in a clean boot state and check.

  Clean boot:

  This could happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(

  I have a XPS from Dell with Vista system.  When the computer enters standby mode, it continues to run and does not respond when you click the mouse or press a key on the keyboard.  I have to turn off the computer and then it takes about 20 minutes before it will start up.  He must analyze the disc and then says windows is not stopped correctly.  So sometimes, I have a blue screen that says that windows has automatically stopped because of an error.

  My system is only about 3 weeks.  This just started happening.  I have not installed any new hardware.  Here is a meswsage error I get

• Can I switch from XP to Vista to extend protection for my PC beyond April?

  Ends support for Windows XP in April 2014.  Is it possible to upgrade my PC from XP to Vista (rather than Windows 7 or 8), in order to extend the life of my machine? I don't think that my PC could not support Windows 7 and in any case, I have to do a clean install and lose all my programs. I don't want to buy a new machine, but as Windows 7 seems to have a limited life span and I hate Windows 8. I'll wait for Windows 9. If I upgrade to Vista, where I'd get the installation disk of? And no idea when will end in support of Vista?

  How to recover files from an earlier version of Windows in Windows Vista

• Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

  How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

  original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

  There are several options:

  External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

  If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

  Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

  If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, click Advanced
  On the owner tab
  Select you realize if it isn't already and
  Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
  Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

  Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
  Click on apply
  Click on advanced
  Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
  Click on apply

  If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

  If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

  ==================================================================================================================

  I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

  If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

  Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

  Jere het another article on the use of Transsfer easy to pass data or parameters (and perhaps programs) from a XP computer to a Vista computer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial138.html

  =====================================================================================================================

  I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck!
