    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  • I've upgraded to Windows 7 and now my laptop mouse scroll button will not work.

    I have upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 on my Fujitsu Lifebook laptop.

    The mouse that is built into my computer is a tablet with a typical right button and left button - and between these 2 buttons are 2 small buttons that can scroll and down the documents and Web sites. Well, since I have upgraded from Vista to 7, this button did not work. Not on Web pages, not on Word documents, not on anything!

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Check on the Fujitsu website to see if they have a Windows 7 driver
    for your touchpad. If they download and install it. If they are not,
    you're out of luck.
