  If the motherboard is exactly the same or almost exactly the same there should be no problem.  Otherwise you will want to completely reinstall Vista or even your system will contain drivers for the hardware is no longer present or missing drivers for the new hardware on the motherboard.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

  I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

  You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard- that's why you could not reinstall Windows Vista on the new motherboard, because his attached to the motherboard that initially provided with HP and Vista recovery disk system are supposed to work only with him.

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• Reinstall vista after a Windows Update due to die and not restart

  I had problems with update of vista on a 3 year old dell, alienware, 9700 computer.  Kept hanging up on the updates of windows.  So I bought a new bigger drive for the laptop.  Vista installed off the coast of resettlement came with the computer.  Has started to update the windows updates, something like 102 of them, for a total of about 320 MB.  Arrived at about 35 and he leaves, next time got another 27, then it froze, died the me... couldn't do restart to vista.  He is now in black screen _ hungup.  No recovery on vista recovery software came with the computer.  It will go in the first screen of windows when you use the recovery disk and then freezes.  All I want to do is get this hard drive even when formatted, cleaned, and reinstalled vista.  I will install one update, and if it does not the computer will go in the trash.  This is my backup.  Can you offer any suggestions on how I can get cleaned hard drive when it does not yet recognize the vista reinstall/recovery disk came with the computer.  Thanks for any help.

  Hi Jim,.

  Ø you are able to boot from the CD / DVD to reinstall Windows vista?

  I suggest to try to start the computer in safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop in safe mode. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you can start the computer in safe mode, you can try performance a system restore to the point before the update have been installed and check if it helps.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  A. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  B. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  C. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  D. click Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Access the link below to see the system restore:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

  You can also try to set the BIOS default settings on the computer and try to change the boot sequence to boot from the CD / DVD and try to reinstall Windows Vista by formatting the hard drive.

  NOTE: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Reinstall Vista after hard drive failure

  My hard drive crashed and another was installed by a tech where I took the laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.  The tech installed Vista Home premium on my computer, but it wasn't my reinstallation DVD, I had Dell when I buy the system.  I need to reinstall Vista using my DVD.  Questions: 1 - do reinstall it without losing my existing data?  How do I know if the reinstallation DVD contains Service Pack 2?  The version of the technology used included SP2.  I guess it would be a problem if the DVD of resettlement was not SP2.  Thank you

  It depends on how long you had your Dell notebook about what SP you have and what Dell which you are provided.

• Dell Dimension does not start in Vista after upgrade

  A friend had a Dell Dimension E521 that won't start - has the missing file system\hal.dll.

  As there was nothing on this computer, he needed, I rebuilt it install a new copy of Windows XP, used the upgrade disc closed for upgrade to Vista and ensured everything in its original package has been installed. Let him install the Windows updates at night and in the morning, after a reboot it indicated that there is an update available. I've updated that and restarted and he said there are only four more updates that memory on the video card. I've updated those, but now it does not start at the top.

  I'm going through the boot process, but as soon as it is the screen black with the Microsoft Corporation and the (green?) bar he starts moving forward a very small amount, and then restarts. It comes up with the selection of Windows startup screen and I tried the secure boot and last good Configuration known without result.

  I tried the original XP disc to do a repair, but this doesn't seem to work with Vista?

  How can I recover a work computer or do I have to reinstall again?

  Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  If you have installed Windows Vista good the first time that the hard drive should be fine however I would suggest running the Dell diagnostics just to be safe. To do this follow the instructions on page 405 of this document and perform extensive tests.

• Reinstall Visio after upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello everyone. I installed Windows 7-64 bit. My upgrade went without a hitch except to reinstall one of my Office programs. I am trying to reinstall Visio Professional 2003, however, my first legal installation disc is Visio 98. Windows 7-64 bit will not install this version, so I'm stuck without a track to upgrade in order to activate properly. How to work around this problem. I tried to join the team of Visio, but I see that they want to get my credit card on which I am not too happy to... Help... Please...

  Thank you.

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  I know it's late to this thread over 3 years, but I recently found this problem on the copy of my dad from win7 64.

  With success, I was able to install 4.5 Visio standard, Visio 5.0 update and upgrade Visio 2002.  Everything worked successfully on win7, but the older versions had some quirks to fix in the installation process for 2002 to see them on the hard drive and to recognize as valid evolutionary products.

  The main problem is that version visio 4.5 and 5.0 used an old 16-bit installshield Setup program.

  The applications themselves are 32-bit and will be running in compat for windows NT 4.0 mode in win7 64-bit.

  My solution was to get a program that will extract the old cab of installshield used on the cd files.

  The file to extract cd is called 'data.z' and you must check out it in a good location on your hard drive.

  I used the program Universal Extractor from the following site:

  http://legroom.NET/software/UniExtract

  the extraction method used was i3comp.

  Once the records from HD, I created a shortcut to the executable visio in the extracted folder, in the properties of the shortcut I went to the compatibility options and click on it to change the settings for all users.  Here, I did the program running under Windows NT 4.0 and run as administrator.

  I then tested successfully the Visio 4.5 and 5.0 with this method to ensure that any registry or ini file stuff needed by the installer of 2002 would be easier.

  After I checked they were running and working on win7 64, I put in the 2002 Update CD recently bought new by the amazon seller.

  Setup has found the copy to hard disk, and I told it to install over Visio 5.0 on hard disk folder.

  When I launched visio 2002, he asked to activate, I then just let my dad continue the activation process of Visio 2002 update because it was actually him who had bought and she belonged and was installed on his computer.

  He had worked for a couple of hours and finally had put on his machine virtual windows xp win7, but wanted on his real win7 64 bit installation.

  I had the chance to help her for about an hour, and it was enough time to understand the problem and get Visio 2002 working for him.

  I note that there is a point in the installation process when upgrade version wants to find the old copy to upgrade, he will try to get the hard disk and you will almost seem to be frozen, but the style hourglass turns the pointer of the mouse circle will be always moving.  As long as you wait outside it will be eventually find the older version installed.

  Finally, on my father's computer, there are more than 1 million files from different programs and documents to go, after about 5-6 minutes setup are the old copy and continued.

  After it's done only internet activation is required.

  Hope this helps someone.
