• Question related to the removal of Windows 8 and installing Windows XP

  Please could someone help me, I need/want to remove windows 8 of my ASUS laptop and install windows xp, no matter what I do, I can't the laptop to boot from the CD-ROM drive.

  Any help would be great, thanks in advance

  was soon Liz

  The first thing you should check with Asus to see if readers of Windows 7 are available for your computer model. not all manufacturers provide these. Otherwise, you need to consider to return the computer and buying one with Windows 8.0 Pro for the right to demotion or buy one with Windows 7 installed. Another thing to consider is that some computer manufacturers you want to change the operating system as your warranty. Once you find that drivers are available and you decide to go down just to buy a copy of Windows 7 and install like any other operating system. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

• I had to install a fresh install of Win7 on a Win7 computer. Old settings are in the Windows.old folder. How can I migrate the old settings for new install?

  I tried to 'upgrade' a Win7 installation using a valid Win7 upgrade CD. Because the current version is newer than the CD, it would not be upgraded. I created an installation on the old HDD. All my old programs are still on the HARD drive. I have the Windows.old folder on the HARD disk. I backed up the My Documents folder with all my data. It is now restored. I need to get the old registry settings in the registry again so I did not reinstall all my programs. How can I do this?

  Unfortunately, you will need to reinstall all your programs from their original installation discs.

  What you should have done was to download a current copy of the edition of Windows 7, you have a license for Service Pack 1 integrated and do an upgrade of the repair.

  Unfortunately, it's too late now, since you seem to have done a custom installation.

• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  -Todd w.

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  "I thought that this area was a place to really get answers instead of the ole same"answers of bs that are on all the other forums."

• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  3. THE DRIVERS WIFI/wireless connection would NOT MOVE, I GET a MESSAGE READING "802.11.a/b/g/n wireless device not found adapter. The device may not be present or could have been ejected/disconnected from the system. Abandonment of the installation, please insert the card and try Setup again."

  The wireless card was not removed from the system, in fact, the laptop was never even opened.

  4. THE SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT WORK TO TURN ON WITHOUT WIRELESS/WIFI, OR VOLUME CONTROLS, SCREEN BRIGHTNESS OR... THERE SEEMS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DOWNLOAD/INSTALL IN THE LIST FOR THOSE NOT MORE, A LACK OF FUNDAMENTAL TO THE SYSTEM. WITHOUT IT, NO WIRELESS (ETC.), PERIOD. THIS ISN'T LOOKING GOOD SO FAR.

  5 TIPS IN THE SITE WEB/FORUMS TO INSTALL "HP WIRELESS ASSISTANT" IN THE LIST OF AVAILABLE/SUPPORTED DRIVERS, BUT IT DIDN'T THERE HAS NO "HP WIRELESS ASSISTANT" IN THE LIST TO DOWNLOAD. AND TO DOWNLOAD IT DIRECTLY TO THE PAGE OF THE WIZARD ITSELF YOU MUST HAVE THE COMPUTER OPERATED BY CONNECTED DIRECTLY ONLINE TO INSTALL, YET THE COMPUTER ITSELF CANNOT CONNECT ONLINE IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHICH IS A MAJOR CONTRADICTION AND IRONY IF YOU ASK ME... «TO CONNECT ONLINE TO REPAIR US DIRECTLY SO THAT YOUR COMPUTER CAN APPLY ONLINE...» ». HUH?

  QUESTION: SOMEONE HAS A FOOLPROOF METHOD, THEY KNOW OF A WIRELESS ON A NEW INSTALL OF WINDOWS 7 ON THIS MODEL/S?

  MAYBE THE SITES THAT HAVE BETTER BACKUPS FIX HOTKEY DRIVERS AND WIRELESS AS THE HP SITE ITSELF?

  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

  Hi, Russell:

  He has a Ralink WiFi card you find the parts list for your laptop.

  So, this is the driver you need for this card...

  This package contains the installation package driver for Ralink Wireless LAN to laptop models controllers that are running a supported operating system.

  File name: sp56942.exe

  HP wireless assistant software is not applicable to your model.  Your model uses the most recent software HP connection manager, which you may need to install in order to activate the wireless card so that the drivers can be installed.

  This package provides the connection manager HP for the notebook models and operating systems.

  File name: sp54630.exe

  The driver hotkey, you need is this one...

  This package contains the Quick Launch software HP, which allows the special function keys on the laptop to program models. For example, the software of HP Quick Launch allows users to press the Fn + ESC keys to view system information. This software works with supported operating systems.

  File name: sp56929.exe

  So that the brightness keys work, you must install the graphics driver first.

  This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

  Hi once again, fortunately today I bring better news! As a result of a serious lack of assistance from Apple themselves, have no idea of "The Tech Guys" in the world PC and extremely unnecessary hours at Microsoft, I've sorted it me. In other words, the main problem with mine was the Apple Software Updater. Even with "Revo" I was unable to remove it. I decided to download "Windows Installer Clean Up" from there where I could find (it was also free!). I used it and immediately found, I could choose the Apple Software Updater and remove it with very little hassle in all. I proceed to download the new iTunes, and I'm a very happy Bunny! Thanks for nothing, Microsoft and Apple! Hope this helps - Dan

• Windows Vista home Premium 32 bit SP2: iTunes 10.1: there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

  I worked on it for about 3 days now. It's driving me crazy. I tried everything I could find to try to solve this problem.

  When installing iTunes it stops and a box will then appear to me said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support provider or package. "No error message or anything, that's all I get. When I hit the only button I can hit the OK button, it continues to install QuickTime. Sometimes, it will install the iTunes file and the shortcut, but the shortcut does never work and the iTunes file is always empty. I have download the installer directly from Apple.com and save to the desktop, a new copy after each test (just in case).

  Here is a list of what I've tried:

  • Apple Support page: difficulties to install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
  • Apple Support page: removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other components of software for Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • Apple Support page: iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)
  • 1,5 hour long session with Apple Support Tech, where we repeat the two steps albums created a new admin account and then tried to install on this account of troubleshooting. After it is has not told me while they could not fix the problem it was a questions and contact Microsoft Windows.
