Problem opening Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard.

I'm moving my XP to a Windows 8 pro sp3, after that download wizard upgrade of Windows 8 every time I click on it nothing happens. After several reboots, turning off AVG and firewall, there still makes no difference, I called Microsoft support and she has proved useless as I don't think she understood my question before touching me the line. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Deep joy and success. YanotB is the solution!

I just went to start > run > services.msc

Then I clicked on each of the manual marked services and changed to automatic. Then you need combat disabled people, those in right-clicking each of them > properties > change the option in the drop-down list of disabled to automatic.

Yes, there are a lot of elements in the list of services, but many of them will already be ok. I didn't change the about 20.

I don't do even need to restart, I just ran the wizard.

I couldn't be bothered to find what individual service did the trick, but I suspect it was one of the disabled those if you want to try changing these first.

If you are concerned about the security of XP and will not immediately install Windows 8 then a quick system restore should reset everything for as it was.

What a relief, finally!

  • Several problems with Windows 8 - Upgrade-unable to download full

    Original title: several problems with Windows 8

    Last Sunday, after downloading Ab2word, my tiles shortcuts stop working. I have uninstalled the program, but nothing improved. I made an update of Dell and got the shortcuts work again (curiously I could always connect via the desktop). now, I get a message saying that Windows is disabled and to enable him, by putting in... but he says that it is impossible to activate. Then I tried the upgrade to 8.1 by the store and got a message saying that I was unable to complete the download. Now my shortcuts tiled work, but they open the sites registered by the office, not as a full screen. I tried to restore to the factory and now get the message that the system is unable to restore. I ran a dell diagnostic and it showed nothing. I did a full security scan and he came clean. I'm rapidly reaching crisis. When you try to seek help on the Web site, Windows 8 is not listed... It is 7 to 8. 1. any suggestions? This computer is less than 2 years old and I'm ready to take a hammer to it.

  • Problem installing Windows 7: upgrade of the disk

    Hello

    I have W7 Ultimate upgrade disc and have problems to install.

    I installed XP first if I understand that W7 upgrade needs to see an existing version to work.

    I then tried to install W7 as a separate operating system, but get the error message using the product key you entered, start the installation on a computer that is running a genuine version of windows. So I guess it isn't recognizing that XP is already installed.

    I tried to install W7 startup on XP but W7 so does not recognize the hard drives to install on.

    Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

    Thank you!

    All you have to do is just create a virtual machine in Windows 7 and you walk through the Wizard New VM just to leave the empty Windows product key on the Easy Install sheet and keep moving forward.

    Then once you have installed VMware Tools just follow the steps in Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media to activate Windows.

  • Problem on Windows after upgrading RAM

    I have 6 years, Alienware m11x R.2 running Windows 7 x 64 SP1. Since the ole ' computer is still alive and kickin. I thought I'd do a quick refresher on the RAM for an inexpensive upgrade.

    I'm not an expert but to build my own PC and was demolished and rebuilt this laptop particular (among others) several times. The upgrade of RAM has always been something that requires very little attention or other planning that by ensuring that you have compatible specifications.

    I upgraded the RAM this laptop came with a year after the purchase of a Kingston Hyper-X. www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

    I remember having no problem with the installation of this RAM and it was perfectly fine since then.

    A few weeks ago, I ordered the DDR3L RAM, after starting the computer difficulties, I realized the error, but also said that the RAM must remain compatible with 1.5V power outlets. But maybe it was a compatibility problem, so I returned it regularly DDR3 RAM, shown here. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820231582

    Outside the actual size of RAM I don't see any other difference with specifications.

    Here's the problem: when I install the new RAM I asked to do a startup repair. No matter if I select run repair or normally I get sent to windows startup. This repeatedly. When I re - install the old RAM is the same screen, but I'm able to start or I can choose to run the repair. (I did both.) This happens with DDR3 and DDR3L RAM. No difference.

    I have triple checked that the RAM is installed correctly and BIOS sees all the 16 gb.

    Advice and assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

    For M11x R2, 8G (2 X 4).

  • FSX and FSX acceleration not will not activate after the uninstallation and reinstallation of the following problems with Windows 7 upgrade

    After the upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 Windows 7, I couldn't FSX to load.  It would hang at the splash screen.  This has since been resolved and may have been a conflict between my card graphic and sound card and maybe even my webcam.  I then tried to reinstall FSX.  However, I decided to load up the Accerleration as before, but when I entered the activation code it says after trying that he could not get an answer to the server and to verify that I had an internet session active.  I did, but he always refused to activate.  So I uninstalled FSX acceleration and ran repair on FSX.  But now, he wants the activation code for FSX and when I write this so I always get the message that it cannot get a response from the server, please try again later or check that your internet connection is active.  I have the full internet connection, but doesn't understand why it won't save my activation codes.  I am limited to 30 minutes and cannot be installed acceleration as it wants the code for FSX.  I read on the forum that you can uninstall and reinstall on the same computer as many times you like then why used enable it?  It seems that he doesn't like my internet connection even though I am on the internet.  Anyone has any ideas. My pc is a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Nvidia 9400Gt card and card Soundblaster with 160 gb 1.66 ghz, 4gig ram and router Netgear WGR614 cable wireless

    Hi steve, I managed to install in the end.  I upgraded to a hard drive more that I wanted more space and copied the image to the new drive.  FSX is not yet accept the keys during the installation.  I ran the above utilities (see blog Amritas) to clear the license keys, empty temporary folders and change the registry entry by using 'regedit' on the command line, but still his wouldn't.  In the end, I installed and uninstalled three times until I finally installed it on a partition on the drive and he finally accepted the license keys.  This was done on the original admin user account that I had problems with from the start.  I have now it works.  The utility I used was KB928080 Microsoft.   I can only suggest you keep trying or partition of your hard drive and try and install on the new partition after erasing the license keys and temp folders (see above Amrita).  I can't guarantee that it works well.  To me it's a question of licenses i.e. acceleration has been uninstalled and reinstalled many times so it will no longer accept the license keys.  Happy installing! I don't know how is it frustrating.
