  The size of the base operating system Windows Vista on my Aspire 3680 2682 is larger than 20 GB, is this normal?

  Hello

  Yes; It's normal.

  In addition to the original operating system, you have updates, restore points of the system (set at 15% of the capacity of the hard drive) etc, etc.

  It will continue to grow.

  * Original title: upgrade

  I want to upgrade to a newer Windows operating system Windows Vista Home Pro 64-bit. What is the recommended procedure? I see that Windows 7 or 8, a free update to Windows 10 is offered. Should I buy 7 or 8 then you spend 10 or just buy 10?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Im trying to install the Nvidia drivers for my new video card and its saying that my operating system (windows vista 64-bit) is not compatible, which means they are 32-bit drivers, it's fake.

  Im trying to install drivers for a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 on my windows vista 64 bit computer. Every time I have try and start the download, it is said that my driver is not a 64-bit driver, which is false, and that my system is 64 bit, which is true. SO... after I click 'OK', it begins to download only to have another pop-up saying "Setup has detected that the system in use is not windows vista 64 bit" which it is. Basically its contradiction with himself. im confused.

  Im running windows vista 64-bit.

  I just upgraded to a Nvidia 9800GT, to a Nvidia GTX 260.

  In frustration, I deleted all the old drivers, but the new will not download.

  The first error says that the drivers are not 64-bit.

  The second error indicates the operating system is not 64-bit.

  Let the site nVidia Driver detect your video card. If it still does not work, contact nVidia for a solution... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  If the disc XP Professional nine and a key of different product, then you can install the computer with the Windows Vista operating system in a dual-boot configuration.

  Original title: MS Office programs do not open after installation of Windows update to Windows Vista operating system

  After having decided to install the Windows Update my computer told me was available all my software as my programs MS Offfice is no longer open.  I don't know what to do.  The only thing that still works is the Windows Media Player.  I can't open Word or Excel, I can't access my photos.  Open Internet Explorer is like a weird nightmare but I am able to access the Internet.  I tried reinstalling my MS Office software, which did not work.  I have no idea what to do to solve the problem, but I need my computer back. It was good except for its slow, when I open certain programs, now I can't access something.  Any ideas what I should do to correct the nightmare?

• "Missing operating system" is displayed when you try to start Windows 10

  I have been using bootcamp to access the 10 Windows for quite awhile. It was working perfectly until a member of the family installed a Windows Update, but the battery is dead during the update. Following this window would charge any. A black screen with a blinking cursor. After that, I went back on fairing and wrong used the partition synchronization tool. Now, Windows is in a worse state and the "Missing operating system" message when you try to get back in. In addition, the Mac startup disk no longer allows me to reboot the laptop using the bootcamp partition, as if the partition is not more detected. Disk utility simply shows a greyed out "Disk0s4."

  I spent a lot of time looking for a solution, but without success. Here are some of the things I've tried so far:

• Boot Windows 7 "Missing Operating System" message by adding external hard 1gig on usb

  Hi - I just bought a 1 GB Toshiba external hard drive.

  When my PC running Windows 7 - the external hard drive is connected and works fine - but when I close and come to restart I get message "Missing Operating System". One point to mention is that I renamed E to G external drive letter. If I unplug the USB hard disk, start works fine and I can plug back into the external hard drive without any problem. Someone at - it ideas on how to fix this please? Thank you.

  PS I also have a 500 meg external drive which worked well. Note the 1 gig disc problem also arises even when the 500 meg disk is removed.

  Hello

  Go into your BIOS and change the boot order.

  It tries to Boot from your external hard drive when you receive this message.

  Do the internal hard drive first in the boot order or disable USB compatible with the start (or similar words for USB devices).

  See you soon.
