Option upgrade is available istall disabled, only clean. Why!

From: Pepe

I am trying to update to ultimate V., and after inserting the cd to upgrade and run the Windows program, I find that the upgrade option is disabled, leaving me alone with the clean install option.

Can someone point me to a few tracks for an upgrade installation, because I don't want to do a clean and lose my programs and files.

Thanks in advance

If Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista is installed, you must uninstall it before moving on to the final.

  • "Delete from the Recycle Bin?" option in XP disappeared. Fill only the removal now available! How do I get it back?

    The default folder / file "Delete to Recycle Bin" option has disappeared and I now only complete deletion option.  How he lost it & how to I get it back?

    Right-click on your Recycle Bin and select "Properties".
    Under the 'Général' tab, you can choose to have a configuration option apply to all readers or configure all drives independently.  Assuming you have a configuration for all drives option, you will see a box on this page that is properly labeled:

    "Do not move files to the trash.
    Delete the files when they are deleted immediately.

    Or of the United Nations, click on the box to your liking.
    If you do not have a configuration option for each player, and then click the tab for the reader, this applies to change the setting here.

  • Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. Problem occurred first on snow leopard OS. Followed Dragon upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference has error code of 109 changed to null. What about someone?

    Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

    We need some info.

    You can access from the finder Time Capsule? If this isn't the case, then Time Machine will not work.

    You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

    With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.

  • No option "upgrade to win 10'. It is probably related to the fact that I can't upgrade my IE 10 to 11?

    I am running Win 7 Professional with SP1. There is no option "upgrade to 10' in my system tray. The resolution of the problems that I downloaded from microsoft.com to help with this, said that my windows "is not the correct version" for the upgrade, but I'm sure it is. Then I've dug further into the support pages and I've read that I should update IE to 11 before attempting to get the upgrade to win 10.

    Now I tried to switch to IE11 for awhile, but I gave up a long time ago because it proved to be very difficult and my need was not large enough. But it is now.

    Months ago I tried to go through all the support pages for the upgrade to IE11 but they did not help, I kept getting "update has no" again and again and again and again.

    My question is - is this REALLY necessary for me to upgrade to IE11 to obtain 10 Windows? I wouldn't have spent hours trying to fix IE11 and actually discover it is an unrelated question. I do not understand why I need to improve IE to get 10 win!

    Thank you guys.

    You can get around get Windows 10 for 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool.

    Check the box in the first option to automate the process or select 'to another PC"to create bootable flash media or download an ISO to burn it to a DVD with the drive of Windows Image.  Now you have media to reinstall or need repairs.  But to run the upgrade, it must be opened in Windows 7/8.1, click right installation to run as admin file.

    To improve chances disable the upgrade everything at startup:

    In Windows 7, type msconfig in the start search box, clear all the options on the tabs Services and start-up, after masking all the Services of Mrs.  Apply and restart.

    Hi community - I'm publishing some drawings I scanned at 1200 dpi and need to burn/dodge areas of images. However, the protect tones option is not available (can't click on the checkbox) and only works if I decrease the resolution. Help?

    What picture Mode do you use and what are the dimensions in pixels of your drawing?

    1200 dpi/PPP is a printing technique and tell me if the amount of pixels are above what the dodge / / burning tools can take.

    I have a licensed copy of these two programs. I checked the firewall they allow .exe files needed etc.

    That is right. You will have only dynamic links between applications of the same version.

    You install AE CC for DL.

    I would like to restore my passwords saved (only the passwords, any profile) to my laptop. Available, I have only a backup of my previous C: drive.

    Claudia,
    You must do the following:

    • Locate the backup of your previous profile. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile - you will need to manually adjust the location of your backup, and shortcuts like %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto do not work (on Vista/7, %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto is defined as \AppData\Roaming C:\Users\username)
    • Locate your new profile. See above, but here you can use the help-> troubleshooting information button
    • Copy the following files from the old profile to the new profile with Firefox closed: signons3.txt, signons.sqlite

  • El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

    Hello

    El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

    I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

    This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

    Best regards

    Mike

    If you have existing question in your system current, then things could get worse if you upgrade simply. My personal choice is always do a clean install of newest version of Mac OS X.

    How to perform a clean install of OS X El Capitan on your Mac.

    How to prepare your Mac OS X 10.11 "El Capitan."

    OS X El Capitan-download and Quick Installation Guide

    Make your own installer from El Capitan flash drive using the El Capitan tool:

    Be sure to save the installer in the downloads before installation folder, otherwise it will be deleted once the installation is complete.

    You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

    You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

    sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

  • Option of film available, but does not work

    When you choose a view in any folder with photos, I can choose "film". Until very recently, it worked well. Now, it seems, however, the preview pane is missing and all my pictures form a long horizontal "thumbnail" view top (similar to what is usually at the bottom of the film).

    The option is always available, the folder is set on photos or photo album and "show common tasks" is defined. Currently using XP SP3

    Any thoughts? I appreciate the time.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.
