• the Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate upgrade error

  I need to upgrade a laptop Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate to connect to a network of MS Server 2008. Home Premium runs on SP2 and I bought an upgrade ultimate retail package which has Ultimate SP1. When I go to install an update (I don't want to erase the old files and OS), I get the following error "upgrade cannot be started, cancel the installation and choose to upgrade to a version of Windows that is newer than the version you are currently using." Roll back the version Home Premium SP1 will allow me to upgrade to Ultimate, or is there something else that needs to be done? Thank you.

  That should do it.

  Here's the General information about your problem:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Hi S RAGAN,

  I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

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

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

  If the same problem persists then, reset the Windows Update components and check.

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

  Help, please!

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.

• My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
  Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
  I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
  PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
  During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
  Can someone help me please?
  Best regards
  John

  Besides what abdelhak says:

  The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  Hope this helps,
