• Phone L40 (PSL43E) Pro - upgrade to Windows 7 Vista Basic

  Hello

  I was throughout the forums and have not really found the answers I was looking for.

  I did a new install of Windows 7 on my L40 but I get questions with bsod, random blocks etc so I thought it was time I did something. When I did the installation initially he wasn't any official Windows 7 drivers download (which I see now there).

  I was wondering if someone had made the trip from Vista Basic to Pro 7?
  And if so if you upgrade the BIOS (like updating the BIOS description States it is for Windows Vista only?) and if there is anything that I might need to know (as I see that a few people have been complinaing to post the update of the dead motherboard?).

  Also, the expression "Value package" keeps popping up on the forum, I can see that there is a download of Windows 7 for this although the description to download again claims that it is for use with Windows Vista only?

  I'll be happy to write to the top a complete race for future reference is that I could get a few more "confirmed" information

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  To be honest I m L40 not owner but I installed Windows 7 on my old Win XP laptop and it works even if Windows 7 was not official published for this device.

  Usually nothing should be wrong, that you can download here the VAP for Win 7, which was released for other series of mobile most recent. The VAP does not depend on the series notebook its compatible with all models.

  There are also a lot of users in the Satellite L forum which has installed Win 7 on the L40 and it works correctly.

• The license sticker is for Vista Business and Vista Basic is preinstalled

  I just bought a Satellite Pro L300, which was supposed to have Vista Business installed.

  When I turned on the laptop and went through the initial installation of the operating system and configuration, Vista Basic installed, without ever asking me a license key.

  The Home license sticker at the bottom of my laptop shows "Windows Vista Business OEMAct".

  How to install Vista Business? There is no CD/DVD in the sealed box that the laptop came in so I have no extra programs to install.

  I bought this model because supposedly I could downgrade from Vista Business to XP.

  Thank you!

  It's really a case of contact Toshiba by phone or email, form (support/Contacts page).

• Unable to upgrade to Windows Vista Basic to Windows XP on hp pv6000

  Original title: upgrade

  upgrade vista basic to windows xp on hp pv6000 and my wireless is not wrking nor showing in my taskbar please help

  Hello

  Vista to XP is a downgrade!

  After installing XP, did you get XP drivers on HP website? See...

  http://WWW8.HP.com/UK/en/support-drivers.html

  .. .to locate your particular model, then download and install the XP drivers (if there no, no guarantee if your PC comes with Vista originally).

  I tried the model number you gave, but there are 41 possible matches, so I think that pv6000 is a "series" rather than a specific model number.

• reinstall using vista basic vista Home premium cd?

  I have more the cd of vista basic who came (or maybe not) with my computer dell laptop.  I have a vista Home premium 'upgrade', what I install and I have no base activation of vista series.  Can this work? I could probably find a family oem premium (not an upgrade) maybe that might work?

  Note: it will not start and I have a blank hard drive.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Question Vista - Windows XP to Vista basic upgrade?

  Can I switch from Xp Pro to Vista basic?

• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

  Hi Jer9009,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

  ·         Could you give the exact error code or error number you get?

  To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.

  A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.

  Hello, I try to install windows vista basic 32 bit edition on an old laptop. He had originally windows vista basic 32-bit edition.

  I have the windows install key.

  The laptop's hard drive was fried and I do not make a backup of the operating system, also, he came with a "factory default disk" or the windows recovery disk.

  It came with a windows anytime upgrade disc ' ", he said can repair a current installation of windows, or install the operating system.

  Hard drive, I have currently in there has a version of vista business and the timer is exhausted, there also some conflicts pilot being that the hard drive has come to a laptop different and some aspects of drivers and other software refuse to be deleted.

  My question would be: can I install windows vista basic 32 bit with the disk at any time to upgrade, if yes how?

  Thank you

• Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

  If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

  What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.

  Thank you

  Tom

  Here is an article on how to change the color scheme in Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394603(v=VS.85).aspx.  NOTE: There are some limitations for Vista Basic so pay attention to them and use the options that they need, and you should be able to do.

  If this does not work, market, the system cannot be activated for color schemes... Here is an article on how to enable this feature in all versions of Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/182471-color-scheme-allow-prevent-change.html.

  Here is an article on how to change appearance advanced settings in Vista which can also help if the above is:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/78281-advanced-appearance.html.

• Vista Basic

  I've had my laptop stolen, Dell system and had another Dell Inspiron 710 M available.  The problem is my stolen Dell was running Vista Basic and my old Dell is running XP.  I want to install the base of Vista on my old Dell being all my files I had saved on the Vista format.  I have stolen the laptop Vista disk but no product key.  When I install Vista on the new laptop computer it is not original, and I upgrade to Windows 8, but cannot unless I can get Vista loaded without restrictions.  How can I get the product key when I have the operating drive?

  Hello

  You cannot transfer the license from Vista Basic to the Dell stolen that has XP installed on it.

  Preinstaled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) are OEM licenses and are related to the first machine that they are installed on and are not transferable.
