Vista and windows 7 Pro

I have Vista Home edition.  I am able to install Window 7 Pro on my computer and remove Vista

You can't do an upgrade, but you can do a clean install. You can choose to keep both of them or just Windows 7.

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

  • Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

    I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

    I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

    I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

    1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

    2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

    Thanks in advance,

    W!

    The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

    «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

    Thank you!!

    You can add the disk with Xp Pro as a slave. You may need to change the jumper settings. However, you cannot take a drive with an operating system that has been installed on another computer and start to the new computer. In 15 years of computer technology I couldn't do it only once and it was with a Vista operating system. However, Windows is designed to not allow that.

    The most likely reason that you are denied access to the files on the disk with Pro is that you will need to take ownership of the files.

    After reading a lot of posts, tried for hours, the call from Microsoft, I just can not upgrade Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro with my legal key.

    My hard drive in my HP Pavilion laptop is dead.  I've restored my Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD.  At some point in the past, I've upgraded to Windows 7 pro.

    If I install win 7 at this point, my key will not activate, even with telephone calls to MS.

    I don't remember when I install only clean or when I have to install regular kicks windows, but I can't upgrade when it is started on the Win 7 Home DVD.

    If I make a new install of Win 7 pro, the error message indicating that my key is upgraded only.

    I tried some scripts on SevenForums to reset the flag of registry, did not work.

    MS technical support told me to switch to Win 7 home, then win pro, it does not work.
