My Gateway PC crashed and I tried to restore with the Windows 7 Upgrade dvd and it did load up and installed and then stop to restart. Once it restarted, the screen works reconfiguration and became black. After trying to restart several times I kept getting a black screen on several occasions, I then did a clean installation of the OEM Windows Vista Home Premium and then tried to load Windows 7 upgrade - same thing with the black screen.  Did an another clean install of Vista and this time I have activated Vista with the slui.exe 4 and activation has been refused. I then took the license key number on the back of the gateway PC and did a change windows license key then slui.exe 4 and it has been properly activated OEM Windows Vista with activation of the phone.
At this point, I'm with an its own Active Window Vista Home Premium and need to know how the used the Windows 7 upgrade disc for windows 7 load on my pc without any problem of black screen. I appreciate any help on this.

If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

Its possible your installation media can be damaged, try to get a new copy:

    I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

    I did everything to prepare for the upgrade. The Upgrade Advisor says it all right. But I get the message that this network adapter is a problem. It does not appear in device menager even under hidden objects, so I can't uninstall or update.

    It is obviously a problem for more than two years.

  • known issues with the utilities for the Windows 7 upgrade Lenovo

    I have a Lenovo T61 Thinkpad with Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit operating system. I have currently only about 1 GB of space on my hard drive Go 67.9. I wanted to get rid of Vista and switch on to 7 but currently I don't have enough hard disk space to do (I need at least 16 GB of free space).  I decided to buy a second hard drive and do a clean install of 7 so I hope I have less problems in the long term.

    My concern is that I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor report, and he knew questions about utilities of Lenovo, ThinkPad EasyEject Utility and system update. On the Lenovo support Web site, it says that "you can upgrade to Windows 7 without uninstalling these applications, but you may experience problems when their running on Windows 7." When I looked for another application that supports Windows 7, as advised, I found that there are none for 3 known issues of as the cause of the problem is a «limitation of Windows 7» So what the devil? I hate Vista but I do not want to install 7 and then not be able to use my computer properly.

    I'm sure many users Lenovo went from Vista to 7... can anyone give advice on what to if wait if I simply ignore these known issues?
