• Problems upgrading from Vista Home Basic to Vista Ultimate.

  I have a Dell pc came with Vista Home Basic (currently the SP2). I bought (the store) DVD Vista Ultimate Upgrade (SP1). I tried to do an UPGRADE, I prefer NOT to do a fresh install, and he says the upgrade (part) has been disabled and I need to upgrade to a version of Windows that is more recent than the version that I am running. I thought that Vista Ultimate IS an UPGRADE to Vista Home Basic? Both are 32-bit. Any thoughts? (FYI... I don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 at the moment).

  Hello

  Your problem is with the Service Pack level; not the version of Vista.

  The installed operating system has SP2 installed, but the upgrade disc does that SP1 is installed.

  That's why you get this message because SP2 is a newer version than SP1.

  Uninstall SP2 > do the upgrade for Ultimate > reinstall SP2

• Problem upgrading Windows vista

  My computer has recently been in the process of upgrading to vista and I turned it off.  When I turned on the computer the next day, he said "stage 3 of 3 0% complete do not turn off the computer" so I just let it go... However when I came back he said the same thing and I watched after 1 min on the screen to update the computer restarts and it's back to the same message and my computer keeps restarting and nothing is updated at all.  I tried to exit from this page, but I have in vain.  I also can only turn off the computer by pulling the battery / I don't know what can someone help me please?

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Vista UPGRADE LOOP causing has major problems after normal recovery help

  I have a Pavillion DV6226us computer laptop Vista Home Premium, 4 daus agp, I was forced into what I thought was a restart systematic due to some updates to VISTA & OFFICE until he got to the page config after the windows logo screen and update 3 or 3 remained at 0% and restarted and went into the loop of the startup-config-stop. I have had no other internet access at the time, but I needed the pc work so I tried options repair normal, start repair, latest config, safe mode, etc. and eventually had to do system restore, System Restore did not work, I tried 3 times I think and I know I got an error message 'cannot restore again or something' I went to the oldest available restoration and still got the update config, I deleted all the files of 3 updates in the software distribution folder, I thought this might work, I forgot pending .xml and restored then the register for a few days before the first update of Windows and nothing has worked.  I then tried a repair install and I have a windows vista business upgrade I bought that I never ended up using so I tried, but he wouldn't take the key not connected to windows, I put in the key OEM and it took, but I cancelled before starting installation cause I wanted to make sure that it was my only option When I had another pc, the next day, I found the pending.xml repair that I finally in windows. When I walked into windows, I found that there are all sorts of problems, from 1st installing office began to install but stop with the registry permission errors, I had 2 program files & program data folders (I moved the new ones to the old ones deleted duplicate files, the system was very slow I ran sfc and came back with a couple of errors that are not fixed, I watched cbs file but nothing came back under a ': can't fix "search of the file did not further that the errors were cause I had to restart with the repairs I did and run checkdisk, restart and decide if it is repairable or or try the upgrade installation , but the error of update 3 of 3 was back and now I was unable to boot from the disc, all I get is a white cursor with a black screen, I also tried 2 OEM windows vista home, & Xp Pro disk and a partition boot disk just to see if we can see the drive and it acts like its reading every time but after about 20 seconds to 2 minutes He let the fast blinking cursor and goes to loading vista, I can get into the bios, I can run all the advanced startup options (safe mode, etc.) but even a mistake. I tried to start with different bios settings and I tried to reset to default Panel of the bios, Ive tried hard reset - unplug all removin battey, by holding down the Start button / stop. Now, I've noticed a new screen coming during the load just before the screen of windows logo appears a black screen with 1/186 (_0000000_00000 CDF - MS) for 1 second and the only startup option that got no result was the controller of directory service. When I was able to run the checkdisk utility and found that this same file CDF - MS rode as error and checkdisk supposed to solve this problem, when I run the directory service again right after that it arranges the checkdisk says disc is clean, but it turns very quickly, just about 5 seconds to run checkdisk, then if I try to boot from the disc or other options of connection the error wil come back
  and loop fixing and showing his own. Ive also ran the vista test drive diagnostic memory hard tool & bios, both tools ran without error is returned without error, there was something else that happened during one of the attempts of safe mode, do not know how I got ut open winload.exe screen but I do not change anything Please help thanks

  When you did the repair system/upgrade using the version upgrade of the Installation of Vista Business disk, which was the operating system that was on the system before the problems started (before that you did the re-Setup)?  If not and you have used the OEM product key, it triggered correctly?  Go to start / computer / system properties and at the bottom it says it is active?  That is not an immediate problem, but can backfire on you in 30 days if it is not resolved.  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain that this is the same PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (as long as it's the same version of fix than the OEM version).

  I guess you can still work in SafeMode with networking (but not normal mode).

  We will test your hard drive, a different way.  To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.

  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  I want to update the drivers for the CD/DVD device (because it seems to be in place, even if it worked at least partially for the repair of the system).  If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Then see if you can run another repair of system/upgrade to Vista Business upgrade disc.

  If the update 3 or 3 error always appears after that, then repost this question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where people who specialize in updating the questions will be more than happy to help you with your problem.

• Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

  HII!

  IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

  The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
  They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

  Also...
  What's the deal with BIOS? : S
  I don't understand!
  If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

  Thank you!

  The restore CD will of course work.
  The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

  > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
  > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

  Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
  In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate

  This is a question for someone at Toshiba:

  I have a copy of the Windows Vista Ultimate DVD (given a conference I attended) and I would like to use it to upgrade my Satellite laptop to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. This morning I did a clean install using this DVD, but then when I installed the drivers Toshiba I found that the HD-DVD player will not settle.

  I guess that because it did not recognize the laptop as a Toshiba laptop, is that correct?

  So I used the Toshiba Recovery CD to return to a working laptop again once (and has spent all afternoon recovering all my backup files), but I always upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I could change just the product key of my system (from the control panel-> system) on a Vista Ultimate key, but I fear that the software Toshiba value added (HD-DVD player, etc.) will stop working.

  Otherwise, I could do a DVD upgrade install but this will take ages and again, I'm afraid that the Toshiba value added software will stop working.

  Someone at Toshiba can confirm the safe way to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

  Thank you

  Darren

  Hi Darren

  Just one thing at the beginning:
  > This is a question for someone at Toshiba
  Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. This is the forum user and you will not receive response from Toshiba directly.

  Return to describes the problem:
  I have very good experience with the Vista upgrade. I installed the clean version of Vista Ultimate on my laptop Satellite A200. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.

  On a Toshiba DVD drive I can't tell at the moment but the reading of similar positions, it must be just a update and because of this it cannot be installed on your laptop.

  For me the best solution for you is to change the activation key and use Vista Ultimate. When activated you can update all Toshiba including PPV stuff. It has no influence on the version of the OS preinstalled.

• Satellite A120: upgrade of Vista - number of invalid COA

  I just (15 February 2007) bought a Toshiba laptop, A120, with an offer to upgrade to Vista. To take advantage of this offer, I have to go to a website ("Moduslink") and enter the details of the laptop computer and the operating system bundled with it on the site.

  When I enter the number COA for Windows xp professional on the website of Moduslink I get the error message "we're sorry but we are unable to validate your COA number."

  I checked the number of COA on the underside of my laptop and re-tried several times, but without success.

  Where should I go from here?

  Please see the other topics on Vista update of Moduslink and you will find a lot of interesting comments. As far as I know you must wait 48 hours and try to reorder the Vista upgrade.

  Post here on Toshiba page will not help you because all of this is controlled by Moduslink and according to the information of a PC magazine here Moduslink is owned by Microsoft. Toshiba is to give CDs to upgrade with all the drivers, tools and utilities for the Vista operating system. It's nothing more than that.

  Problem with upgrade > Moduslink!

  In addition, no bluetouth software, no card Flash, no test available in the diag...
  and also, the BLUE SCREEN.

  I don't know if anyone can help me and thak you

  Hello

  already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

  It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

• Audio lost after upgrade to Vista on a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E

  Hello

  I just upgraded to vista and I lost my audio. I tried all the latest orders, still no luck. The pc says the driver is installed and the device works correctly, but I can't hear anything. Volume is 100% also.

  Any ideas?

  Well, first of all how someone should provide advice, if you n t write anything on the name cell phone you! ???
  Then please provide more details on your laptop!

  I noticed the same problem on the satellite U200. After upgrading from XP to Vista there is no sound, but the audio driver has been correctly installed and audio chipset has also been recognized correctly.

  After a long investigation, I found a solution here in the forum.
  First, it was important to increase the volume to the maximum with XP installed. Together sound controls must also be set to max.
  Be sure to use the RIGHT driver sound after the new installation of Vista.
  Not all drivers are working!

• Satellite P205-S6257: Chicony USB Webcam does not work after upgrade to Vista Ultimate

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate Home and now my Webcam does not work. When I tried to update the driver, I get a message that says that Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

  The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  I succumbed to find the drivers on the Chicony website. My laptop is a Satellite P205-S6257 and the Toshiba is not yet display on their support site. I don't have a disk for webcam.

  Any suggestions?

  I wish more users would use the advanced search for the Toshiba forum because many topics have already been discussed here and the solution was already planned.
