• Upgraded from Vista to Win 7. Cannot type in any field of Firefox.

  I've successfully upgraded my laptop from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

  Firefox loads OK, but I'm unable to type in any field of research etc. or even to send this request (I use my desktop computer to send this).

  Hope you can suggest how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • Firefox 21.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  If you keep problems also create a new profile.

• After the upgrade from vista to win 7 can install vista on another system?

  I have an older system which will be an upgrade of vista, can I use my vista software and the key for the upgrade of the old system because I upgraded vista to win 7?

  If you have used the license system / operating of Vista as part of the Windows 7 upgrade process: No.

  You cannot use your Vista license anywhere else if it is part of the Windows 7 upgrade process.

• Chicony Webcam not accessible after upgrade from Vista to Win 7 Home Premium

  I've upgraded or updated for Windows - 7 Edition Home Premium a couple of years on my Toshiba Satellite U305-S7448.  It has built in Chicony Webcam.  The camera used to have a Panel control that opens on the edge of the screen.  Now, no matter where I look at and I went to the Toshiba and Chicony sites to get the drivers I don't find a way to turn on the camera.  If I use Skype, it turns on and works normally for this function.  Recently, I clicked to add a profile picture on Google + and once again the camera came and worked very well.  When I look at the devices and click on the camera it tells me that it works correctly.  What escapes me that I can't use the camera as I could when I had Vista on the laptop originally?

  Thanks for all the advice and assistance to anyone.  I don't know exactly how to use these forums and technology in general.  I just want to know all that, after tripping over the Toshiba support site I finally found the solution to my problem.  There is a download for what they call the Total Value Package I think is the name.  It must be installed before the drivers webcam and then everything works as it did when the laptop was new.  Down load is listed as, util_tvap_TC00214700M, in my folder.

• INSPIRON 545 o/s has been upgraded from Vista to Win 7 - can I update by running just two disks again to get a new computer?

  Hello - this is my first experience here, I hope this is the right place for my next investigation...

  As the topic - I upgraded my 545 with the kit to upgrade DELL moons ago.  I still have the 2 discs provided by DELL.

  I would like to refresh my poor overloaded machine and would like to know if it is possible to do so simply by inserting the 2 discs and repeat as before, which was very successful and the machine has been very stable.  Lately he has slowed down and I'd clean the unwanteds.

  Naturally, on the premise that programs will be lost during the procedure I'll save as required to load later.

  I'll be happy to hear if it is a practical solution for my turgid 545.

  Are anxious words of hearing of the wisdom of the knowledgeable members.

  Greetings - Vicko

  The pilots will not be loaded. Windows will be the base for most of the devices drivers. The real drivers are on your driver disk. Further however later versions to update from the Dell Web site.

  If you need specific help driver provides the hardware for the video controller ID and the wireless card (if you have a wireless card). These are the only variants in the system. Once I have this I can tell you precisely what to install. For instructions, see here:

  need to upgrade from vista to win 7 or 8, so I can eventually get windows 10 - do I have to buy 7 or 8?

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  And the free update for 7/8.1 10 is over.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Follow these steps before buy you and upgrade (new installation) of Windows 8.1.

  Microsoft sells more than 8/8.1.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

  There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here
