• Chicony Webcam not accessible after upgrade from Vista to Win 7 Home Premium

  I've upgraded or updated for Windows - 7 Edition Home Premium a couple of years on my Toshiba Satellite U305-S7448.  It has built in Chicony Webcam.  The camera used to have a Panel control that opens on the edge of the screen.  Now, no matter where I look at and I went to the Toshiba and Chicony sites to get the drivers I don't find a way to turn on the camera.  If I use Skype, it turns on and works normally for this function.  Recently, I clicked to add a profile picture on Google + and once again the camera came and worked very well.  When I look at the devices and click on the camera it tells me that it works correctly.  What escapes me that I can't use the camera as I could when I had Vista on the laptop originally?

  Thanks for all the advice and assistance to anyone.  I don't know exactly how to use these forums and technology in general.  I just want to know all that, after tripping over the Toshiba support site I finally found the solution to my problem.  There is a download for what they call the Total Value Package I think is the name.  It must be installed before the drivers webcam and then everything works as it did when the laptop was new.  Down load is listed as, util_tvap_TC00214700M, in my folder.

  I recently received a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of my college and have had problems with the installation process. I listened to what most people tend to do and got the Windows Anytime Upgrade. I entered my key in this program, and he asked me to make what is called the Windows Upgrade Advisor. Currently, I forgot my key for the upgrade because I received the ultimate edition of a download of my college so when I tried to return the process again I hit a roadblock. When I run the Upgrade Windows Advisor he tells me that my computer can run windows 7, but when I go to install the I get an error when I try to do the Upgrade Version (I have not tried the customized version because I don't want to lose all my files that are not saved) tells me that I have to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

• Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium Enterprise?

  I think my laptop at home has Windows Vista Business edition (I'll have to double check when I get home). I was wondering if I could buy the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I don't need all the stuff that comes with Windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if I am limited to just Windows 7 professional since I'm upgrading to Vista professional. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium is a notch down from Windows 7 Professional, so I was wondering if it is possible to do. Or I'm stuck after you buy the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium for the SB $ 199.99 upgrade $ 119.99.

  Then I can buy just the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium, Version upgrade and just do a custom installation? The instructions are fairly easy to follow? The only upgrade I've ever done is when I got my laptop from XP to Vista, (it came with XP installed and they gave me a CD to upgrade to Vista if I wanted to).

  Yes, its simple, simply start your desktop of Windows Vista professional, insert the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVD, click install now. When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

• Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

  Hello, everyone!

  Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

  For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi EvanaZgb,

• M1X61UA #ABA: problem with upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 Pro Win

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop. It came with Win 8.1. The software that I want to install on it requires version 8.1 of Win Pro. I bought and installed the Pro version.

  Software which requires the Pro version is always telling me that I am not under the Pro version.  I checked the version under computer properties and it still wasn't showing as windows 8.1 Pro.

  I reinstalled the OS, I deleted all partitions and installed a clean place. Same result.

  Then I realized that when I install the Pro version it does not ask me to enter the Windows key.

  I guess that's the problem. When I turn it on it says that Windows is activated. I even tried to re - activate with the key provided with the Pro version, but it does not.

  Help, please! I'm so frustrated!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  What is probably happening is that the embedded Windows 8 home key is read from the firmware of notebooks and would explain why you're not be prompted for the key Pro 8.1 during installation.

  Have you tried to enter the key Windows 8.1 Pro via the "add features to Windows 8' option of Windows Control Panel and see if it upgrades the installed version of Pro?

  Kind regards

  I tried to get 10 Windows on my 4540 s Probook and it downloads very well.  Then, it checks the software on the computer and find a program that is not compatible and says that I have to uninstall it will continue.  I uninstall it but want to be sure I'm noy going to cause more problems in doing this.  The program he doesn't like is the tools of HP software, it includes scanning biometric and other.  It would be prudent to uninstall these or should I wait to see if there is a work around for this problem.

  There is no solution other than to remove it as suggests, that the software is not compatible with W10 and never will be.
