• Upgrade from XP to Windows 8 without SP3?

  Hello

  I had a computer that is running Windows XP SP3, and thinking when win 8 came out it would be time to upgrade I installed Windows 8 Preview of consumption on another partition.  Then when Release Preview is out, I formatted the hard drive and installed.  Today, that I decided to purchase the upgrade, but read that I had to reinstall XP, so I put my drives and installed, but I could not install updates.  I had a Service Pack 3 disk, and I put this in and installed, restarted, but was met with the black screen that says "Windows has not stopped right."  I clicked on "Start Windows normally", but it just rebooted and I was back to the black screen.  Then I tried safe mode, but that no longer works.  I rebooted and restored from the recovery partition, and then follow the instructions here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#! msg/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/4-jCtXsbshs/HBI-0476Wj8J

  Service Pack 2 gave me the same problems as fact SP3.  I did some more research and found that I could pass Preview Release, if I had xp slot, so hoping I have had slapped enough XP already, I have in my drive of the Preview version, but it wouldn't install because it was a record of 64-bit.

  Is there a way I can spend to Win 8 what I have?

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: I restored windows and installed a bunch of updates to catalog.update.microsoft.com (from 2006) then tried SP2 again and same problem, even if safe mode worked.  Went into safe mode and ran CHKDSK.  Nothing found.

  I found the solution.  After you install SP2, restart in safe mode and run "REGEDIT" from the BEGINNING--> run.  Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Intelppm.  Change the value "start" 4, and then restart.

  It fixed for me.  I installed SP3 started to windows update until it was realized and upgraded.

  My computer is now running on windows 8 :D

• 'Upgrade' from Vista to Windows 7 without a clean install

  Is it possible to upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I searched through the forums and most of the responses seem to confuse "upgrade" with "clean install". I bought the Windows 7 upgrade in order to keep all of my existing programs and settings in place not re - install everything from the beginning.

  Is it possible to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7? If this isn't the case, then I don't see how Microsoft can claim to offer a "upgrade path". I don't think a "clean install" is the generally accepted definition of an upgrade.

  It is NOT possible!

• Just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. about 3 weeks hard drive later crashed.

  Replace hard drive crashed, installed Windows 7 downloaded disk, cannot activate with the key, as it is said that it was not for a clean install.  Do I have to re - load this awful Vista in order to use Windows 7 I bought?  I'd like to start without spoiling a new hard drive with Vista... so worried that the activation code will work anyway.

  Because it's a Win7 update, you will need a previous operating system already installed (Unlike earlier versions that have just asked a previous OS disk as evidence). Install Vista, then switch to Win7. You do not have to activate Vista to Win7 upgrade.
  There is a lot of work, but all this could have been avoided with a disk image of your drive hard until it crashed. Once you're done to make your PC as you want, you might want to look into it on a regular basis. Taken from my bacon out of the fire a few times :-)

• 11 workstation reports (0xC0000005 Access Violation) Crash at startup but VMs works without any Apparent problem

  A new installation of the workstation 11 (11.1.0 build 2496824) on a new installation of Windows Server R2 Essentials 2012 crashes on start up (front of start/resume all VMs) with a message box indicating a fatal error of VMware Workstation (vmui) occurred and identifies the exception 0XC0000005 access violation).

  If I click OK in the message box, work station closes.  If I don't click on OK in the message box, I can always transfer the focus to the window workstation and workstation seems to behave normally (that is, I can start/resume / suspend virtual machines and virtual machines behave normally).

  I have attached the log file.

  Any thoughts on what is the cause?

  This problem is fixed in VMware Workstation 11.1.2.

• The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

  A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

  That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

  I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

  How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

  Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

  Thank you!

  You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

  Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

  If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

  A clean installation will wipe everything.

  You cannot transfer programs.

  It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

• Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

  After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

  If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

  I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

  Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

  With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

  Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

  I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

  -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

  I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

  Good luck!

• I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. From LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38 K stored on my SSD to form

  I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

  I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

  You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

  Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.
