• problem upgrading to Windows7 Windows XP Professionalge.

  Hello everyone and happy to be here. I have a problem upgrading to Windows7 in Windows XP Professional. I have a Dell E510 while upgrading to Windows 7, I have reached the installation window and my complete system each item listed with a check mark next to: (copy of Windows files), (gathering files, settings, programs), (extension of Windows files). reached 27% full. I get a massage from windows restarts now... The computer does not restart. He asks me to press any key to boot from the CD. Once it goes to that, a window pops up that says "Windows starts now." It is not to go further than that. I release the CD and turn off the computer. When I restart again, a window prompts you to say 'start from the old system or windows put in place. " If I press windows set up, it does nothing. When I press on the old system, it restarts in Windows XP, and then a window invites you to tell me 'the computer started on your old system. It would not be upgraded. Contact Microsoft. This is getting very frustrating. I installed the Windows 7 DVD on my other HP computer without problem. But when he asks me to press any key to reboot from dvd and you do. There is no that start the installation from the beginning. "Collection Windows files, them"start windows"and them it is he don't, don't go anywhere." Can't someone help please? Thank you and I appreciate the help.

  Do not touch the keyboard when you are prompted to "Press any key", sit and wait Windows to continue the installation. Also did you select the 'custom' and not the 'Upgrade' option at the beginnng of the installation process.

  Friend upgrade XP to windows 7. not authentic Windows message receipt.  Buy Windows 7 and downloaded to "fix the problem". Computer crashed, but I got a new drive. Should I try install

  Hello

  So the Windows 7 machine is fine, but its also empty! That we can help you. The XP machine is another matter. If you want to upgrade these machines to Windows 7, and the minimum hardware requirement is met, you can buy discs of software of Windows 7 operating system for each machine (1 motherboard = 1 license for purchased software).

  In addition, I highly recommend you reformat two machines for them to XP RID completely, not to mention viruses / malware. If you plan to update the two XP machines with own versions of XP, that's fine, but this isn't the forum for this, the Windows XP forum would be the place, go here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp?tab=QnA .

  Thus, the machine to Windows 7. To take no chances. Allows to run several scans on the new machine. You said "didn't work any more", I suppose you can't start Windows, ways to correct? If so, the answer is a program you burn on a CD called BootMed; Download 64-bit here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed-64Bit/3000-2094_4-75450831.html and the 32-bit version from here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed/3000-2094_4-75448200.html (only use the Direct download link).

  Once downloaded, burn it to a CD, load this CD in Windows 7 computer and ensure that the CD drive is the first boot device, restart the computer. This will load a modified version of Ubuntu on your system, which includes antivirus and anti-malware programs. Run and remove anything they find. When they have finished their trial scans restarting the computer without the CD installed. What happens now?

  Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

  How to upgrade:

  If you have Vista:

  Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

  New installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

• Problems upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate - needs disk drivers

  We have two HP TouchSmart PC.  One is a TouchSmart IQ505a originally shipped with Vista installed and running Windows 7 Ultimate for years.  The other is a 320-1135 was originally shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium TouchSmart.  We have a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, burned an ISO image downloaded as part of a Microsoft Partner subscription.  (We are software publishers).

  When I tried to install the 320-1135a TouchSmart, installation got as far as saying that «the installation program starts...» ».  He then asked me to insert a driver disk.  I downloaded all the Softpacs driver for the 320-1135a TouchSmart, copied all the files .exe on a CD and inserted into the 320-1135a TouchSmart.  Then I navigated to the folder that contains the drivers, but the Installer did not see them.

  Over the years I've installed older TouchSmart IQ505a several times during the same installation disc, but I could neither recall never asked for drivers to the installation of Windows 7 was complete.  Then I reinstalled the TouchSmart IQ505a, just to double check my memory.  NONE of the pilots did NOT the same Windows Installer.  He completed the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install.  I then installed the drivers of IQ505a TouchSmart as usual.

  I guess what is happening here is that the 320-1135a TouchSmart requires latest drivers, or something that is not on our Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit DVD.  So I called HP Support, only to be told that they were not familiar with the Windows 7 installation procedures and since we got the DVD from Microsoft, we have to communicate with them.  I protested "but it's YOUR drivers that's not reading.  I expect Microsoft will just to send back me to you. "- only to be told"contact Microsoft ".  Which is where we are currently at.

  Can someone help me with my dilemma.  What I have to do something with Softpac .exe files before they can be seen as drivers my Windows install, if so what?  And if that's the case why couldn't HP tell me?

  If the TouchSmart is running Windows 7 Home Premium, why don't you just try the upgrade by using Windows Anytime Upgrade and the ultimate product key?

  If the license for Windows 7 Ultimate, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate files the stored settings and programs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know what you want to hear exactly now, but you can download all drivers here:

• Problems upgrading from vista to win7

  I have a Toshiba satellite p205 and I have the disc of windows 7, but when I go through the process, it does not work, so I downloaded win7 Upgrade Advisor and he says: I have all kinds of compatibility problems with drivers toshiba n such, he also says that I don't have the vista service pack (in which I don't have) so I kept installing updates from windows but the option to install SP1 never showed up. So I downloaded manually 440 mb SP1 on MS website, but it will fail to install due to an error. Can anyone help?

  NightFury,
  Try the following and let us know the result.

  Run the disk error checking
  Then run the System File Checker
  Will download and run the System Update tool
  Make sure to note one of these tools can display error messages.

  Will they all work fine and correct problems, and then run Windows Update.  After installing other updates, then try the manual installation for SP1.  It would also be useful to know what error you get when SP1 installs.

• Upgrade XP to Windows 7

  I am currently using XP Professional with SPs 2 and 3 on a Sony VAIO bought in December 2005.  I have my XP Professional box with the product code; However, I can't find my original CD.  About three years ago my hard drive crashed due to an electrical problem and had to be reinstalled.  The computer that reprired it is no longer around and I'm not sure he did with my original CD when it returned to my Inbox.  I'll be able to install Windows 7 without my original XP CD by entering the product code?

  Hi Marie n.,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  You cannot upgrade windows XP to windows 7, the only option is to do a custom install to install windows 7. Custom installation will all move the file from the windows XP system to the windows.old folder; It will be not formatted (save the data before clean/custom install).

  You cannot use the windows XP for windows product key 7.

  You can visit the link below to check upgrade paths.

• I have problems to connect to Windows Live Mail on the Hotmail account.

  Connection window Live Mail Hotmail problems

  I have problems to connect to Windows Live Mail on the Hotmail account.  I was wondering if anyone knows if this requires a paid subscription to Hotmail.  Microsoft does not explain this.
  To configure the POP3/SMTP to Hotmail/MSN/Live.com access accounts in Windows Mail, use these settings:

  http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com/blog/CNS! F92775FC46A390CA! 422.entry

  Make sure that all of your settings agree thereby. If you get an error message, do a right click on your error message, copy, then paste it into an answer here. We cannot do a lot of troubleshooting without the full error message.

   

  To give you a little history, Windows Mail does not support the HTTP messaging, which for a long time was the only authorized method of access for free Hotmail accounts. In addition, given that the development of Windows Mail was frozen in July 2006, there no knowledge that Microsoft has enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts in February 2009. Therefore, the Windows Mail Account Setup Wizard is hardcoded to reject the Hotmail and MSN addresses. To work around this limitation, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address, initially, use a fake domain, such as * address email is removed from the privacy *. After the account setup is complete, you can go back into the settings and correct your email address.

   

  Gary van, Microsoft MVP (Mail)
  ------------------------------------------------------

  "Joe Hartoe" has written in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  This is the mail of the window, it has been upgraded to manage Hotmail.  The error code indicates "connect to the mobile information server end." I came across this problem with Outlook Express similar years when Microsoft decided that Outlook cannot access Hotmail accounts on subscription.  Email client has no connection to Google problem.  Thank you

• I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

  The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

  My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

  My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

  Rigaut

  First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

  Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

  OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
  http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

  Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.
