    My Vista Machine won't work for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It is said he "encountered an unexpected error" (not too informative, huh?) and advise the relocation, which does not.  Or no tweaking startup with msconfig and disable my antivirus/firewall. The program is in the "zone of confidence" anyway. How can I get a handle on this problem?

    Here are a few advanced WMI troubleshooting you can try.

    2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.

    type controls 2 successively, hitting enter after each one.

    WMIC \\root path "__espacenoms '" delete

    mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

    2. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, save the
    WMI DLL files with the steps below.

    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.
    b. type the following commands one by one, and then press ENTER at the end of each
    command:

    CD /d %windir%\system32\wbem
    for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 %I s
    for %i in (*.exe) do %i/regserver
    for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mof "" ') do mofcomp %s
    for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mfl ' ') do mofcomp %s

    Note: The WMI Tester window may appear, it is
    normal and we can move forward to close.

    Let me know if this helps, please also indicate any error you see in the above process.

    Hi, Mary

    I'm using the Enterprise version that it froze during installation, so I waited around 9-10 Minutes still nothing
    so I started keys at random because I was waiting for a long time then restarted my PC and now I can't start my pc.

    >:-( >:-( >:-( >:-(

    Boot from the Windows 8 DVD or USB media that you created
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. »

    I have this error message and called technical support from microsoft, we have tried to reinstall Vista again once I had tried three times with the same error message. It would freeze to "complete installation." even let him all night to see if he needed more time to complete on its own, but nothing helps...

    the technician told me I have a hardware problem, but when I installed XP on it everything works correctly.

    It's a new pc and a clean install of Home premium. I re-post this question since yesterday

    Hi evan9074,

    So was the question then? You can run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to see if there are compatibility issues that you have with hardware or software that would prevent an upgrade to Windows Vista.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion & "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.

    Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?

    So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".

    The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?

    I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.

    In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?

    Best regards, Willem

    My problem has been resolved.

    Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.

    I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".

    And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.

    So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.

  • Windows 7 upgrade advisor, program compatibility HP Media

    owner of an HP dv6-1245dx. Always running vista, upgrade to 7 soon.

    I downloaded the windows Upgrade Advisor 7, I ran the program. 3 mistakes come in saying I have the version of the HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV program

    I click on him "click here to get a compatiable version," programs.

    1. I click on HP Media Smart DVD, it takes me to a page where it wants me to download a version for HP touchsmart... but I do not have an HP smart touch, I a dv6 (wrong product).

    2. I click on the HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, which brings me to random about the software with no upgrade or products page

    3. I click on th HP Media TV, I see that he wants me to download an older version of the program.

    so I download, install, restart my computer, run the Upgrade Advisor, hoping to see that there are 2 errors, but NO, the HP mediaSmart TV said it must still be fixed... which I just did again!

    Basically the first link go to a page of bad product, and the second link sent me to a random page that talks about program and it does not recognize that I just fixed one of the questions that he told me to fix.

    Can you guys help out me?

    What are the program version compatiability of HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV, which will allow me to level to windows 7 safely?

    Hello

    Windows 7 upgrade advisor is not so smart as you think. It showes sometimes bad results.

    According to this document from HP to down:

    The upgrade to Windows 7

    Question:

    Unable to uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD in Windows 7.

    Fix or workaround:

    Uninstall MediaSmart DVD before the upgrade to Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 7, install the compatible version Windows 7 HP MediaSmart DVD the DVD Upgrade Wizard at level HP or www.hp.com/support .

    Which means then you just uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD before upgrade.

    When you're after update just install all of the latest software for MediaSmart and everything should be ok.

  • Windows 7 update Advisor run problems

    I am currently running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3 and downloaded but am unable to successfully run Windows 7 Beta Update Advisor.  I constantly get the message that "Windows Upgrade Advisor has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I've eliminated all versions update Advisor, turned off my firewall, redownloaded the Advisor and got the same results.  Read on a blog that Windows 7 has less stringent requirements that Vista, so I downloaded the Advisor to update to Windows Vista and got the same error message when I tried to run it.  I'm under a system with an ABIT motherboard with NVidia Firewall hardware and a processor AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual core 3800 + with 2 GB of RAM.  I have a card Radeon X1300XT/X1600Pro / X 1650 series.  Anyone know what I can do to get the Advisor to update to work?

    Well, there's really no need to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, because a real upgrade to Windows 7 is not supported to an existing installation of Windows XP.  Install Windows 7 on a computer running Windows XP requires a "custom installation" which is essentially a "clean install".

    In order to install Windows 7 on a computer running Windows XP, boot you from the Windows XP desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade DVD into the DVD drive and select "custom installation" when the installation menu appears.  After I installed Windows 7, you will need to reinstall your programs using the original installation media, and then install your files personal you saved on a CD, DVD, Flash Drive or external hard drive before installing Windows 7.

  • Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

    I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

    A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

    The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

    The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

    Where should I go now?

    Notes:

    • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
    • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.
    • If you use software like iTunes or Adobe programs, don't forget to remove and disable them before you run the installation program.

    Back up your data:

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. Windows Vista, depending on the edition you are running includes a form of backup. If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

    If you are running editions such as Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium, the only option available to backup the standard backup and restore that archive the records of your account with some settings. If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

    See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

    Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows Vista is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

    Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

    What you can do before performing the upgrade?

    You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

    Other things you can do:

    1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
    2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
    3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.
    4. Make sure your computer is updated (devices and applications).
    5. Disconnect external devices before installing.
    6. Check your hard drive for errors:
      -Click Start
      -Type: CMD
      -Right click on CMD, and then click Run as administrator
      At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
      Exit the command prompt.

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.
  • Another thing you can do is to disable startup items:
    • Click Start
    • Type: MSCONFIG.
    • Press enter on your keyboard
    • On the general tab, click Selective startup.
    • Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    • Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    • Click OK.
    • When you are prompted, click on restart.
    • After the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    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.

  • Cannot download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

    I can't download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Everytime I try it says "Connection interrupted", but there is nothing wrong with my connection. I had the same problem when I bought a Zune and tried to download the software necessary to run it (I had to go back because I never solved the problem) now I think, I never seem to be able to download anything from Microsoft, but I don't have an active version of Windows Vista with the valid product key.

    What should I do to fix this? I will pass a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64 bit 7 as soon as get the boot disk (I have to wait for the boot disk, right?...) and I want to get things ready. Thank you.
