• Vista Business - > Win 7 Home Premium upgrade does not work with my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc

  I bought a Windows 7 upgrade for $99 at Dell when I bought a new computer Win 7 and am finally getting around to upgrading my Vista Business.  The reason for road upgrading rather than clean install was to avoid reinstalling all applications, a major, major time sink, even if I find all the drives in application.  Is the upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium.

  After starting the upgrade, he stopped, telling me that I can only switch to Win 7 Pro, Ultimate or enterprise. For the upgrade to proceed, told me that he needed a clean installation and that I would then have to re - install all the applications.  I looked on the Microsoft site, trying to find how to set my Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc, but I have been unable to find how this could be done after through many convolutions of web pages.

  Could someone tell me please how to put my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to a Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc?

  Thank you very kindly for any response.

  I guess it depends on what side of the coin of your on. If someone bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade, whereas they would have only a single lane of evolution, which is the more common scenario.

• Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment

  Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly.  It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again.  It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really.  Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)

  Hi islgrl10,

  Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.

  To check for errors on a partition,

  1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
  2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
  3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.

• have to reactivate Vista Home Premium (for the second time), but did not have the product key - thinking that I had to upgrade to Windows 7 instead.

  Now, I had recover and restore to factory settings on my PC for the 2nd time in 2 years (I think a problem for Vista?).  Rather than activate Vista Home Premium (which I did not anyway-25 character product code), I thought it would be beneficial (and relieve another instance) upgrade to Windows 7?  I would appreciate any thoughts. Is that what I do online and Windows 7 will work around the Windows Vista Home Premium?  No risk of problems since Windows 7 is new?  I basically use it for home, but like following applications.  Windows 7 is having the same issues that has Vista?

  You cannot switch to windows 7 since Vista without activation of Vista.

• An upgrade on the spot with a Vista Home Premium SP1 won't work...

  My Vista Home Premium has some problems such as the audio service starts do not. Microsoft sent me a Vista DVD but it is SP1 and I installed SP2. It will work yet? I want to perform and the upgrade on the spot, but it does not give me the option to upgrade... just do a custom upgrade which is really just a new facility.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Ryan Ryan Kaskel Internet Consulting http://www.ryankaskel.com/ http://consulting.ryankaskel.com/ RyanKaskel.com

  You will need to uninstall SP2.

  The SP installed cannot be higher than the SP on the DVD; Otherwise, the operating system installed is newer than what's on DVD, and upgrade is not available...

• Vista Home Premium DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

  original title: VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32. CRASH

  DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

  Run the Driver Verifier to verify all 3rd party drivers

  Using Driver Verifier is a dubious proposition. Most of the time it will crash and it will tell you what is the driver. But sometimes it will crash and will not tell you the driver. Sometimes it will crash until you can connect to Windows. If you can't mode without failure, then you will have to resort to editing the registry offline to disable driver verifier.

  So I'd say you first back up your stuff and make sure you have access to another computer, you can contact us in case of problems. Then do a system restore point (so you can restore the system using the functionality of Vista/Win7 Startup Repair).

  So, here is the procedure:
  -Go to start and type "auditor" (without the quotes) and press enter
  -Select 'Create a custom settings (for code developers)' and click 'Next '.
  -Select "Select individual settings from the list complete" and click "Next".
  -Select all of the items EXCEPT FOR 'Low Resource Simulation' and click 'Next '.
      NOTE:   You can use low resource Simulation if you want.  From my limited experiences, he made the BSOD come faster.
  -Select "Select driver names from a list", then click "next".
  Select all drivers NOT supplied by Microsoft, and then click "Next".
  -On the next page, select "Finish".

  Restart the system and wait that it will crash to the blue screen. Continue to use your system normally and if you know what are the causes of the crash, do it several times. The objective here is to get the system crash because Driver Verifier is stressing out the drivers.  If it does not crash for you, thenlet it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

  Restart Windows (after the accident) and turn off of driver verifier back in and selecting 'Delete existing settings' on the first page, and then locate and zip the memory dump file and send it with your next post.

  If you are unable to Windows because it crashes too early, try safe mode.
  If you can't mode without fail, try to use the system from the installation DVD restore to bring the system back to the previous point of restoration that you created.

  If this does not work, after back and we'll have to see on the setting of the offline registry entry:
  [code]

  Delete these registry keys (works on XP, Vista, Win7):
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel

  [/ code]

  More info on this on this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=244617&sd=RMVP

  Zip dumps memory and download them on a free file host.  I recommend Windows Live SkyDrive -http://skydrive.live.com or one another free service, file hosting.  Then post the link to it to your subject so that we can download it.

• Vista Home Premium 64 does not recognize video HDV of Firewire.

  I used my Vista 64 computer to edit video standard def captured by firewire for years. Now I'm trying to capture HDV over firewire. When the camcorder is connected and video output Standard DV, capture works very well (and your camcorder appears in the device under imaging devices Manager). However, when I change the output of the HDV camcorder on the same firewire link, the computer gets no video. He is able to control the camcorder to the computer, but no video. Device Manager shows no device under imaging devices. It does not show the camcorder (Sony HVR z 5U) under sound, video and game controllers. But no video is seen. People of capture program (Sony Vegas Pro 9), IE the operating system detects only not the camcorder hdv under imaging devices (as it does with DV out).

  Hi Sharpvideo,

  1. from when are you facing this problem?
  2 recent changes on your computer?

  You can import video from a videotape in a video camera digital high definition (HDV) on your computer by using import video. When you import video from a videotape in an HDV camera on your computer, the video on the tape is encoded high-definition in a video file and then saved on a hard drive of your computer.
  Your computer must be running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate to import high definition video from a camcorder to your computer by using import video in Windows Vista.
  For questions and answers about importing video from an HDV camera, see import of high definition video: frequently asked questions.
   
  To import the entire video from a videotape in an HDV camera

  Make sure that your HDV camera is connected to your computer via an IEEE 1394 connection, and then set the HDV camera to playback of recorded video (usually called VTR, VCR, or playback on the camera).
  Start Windows Movie Maker (click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Movie Maker).
  On the file menu, click Import from digital video camera.
  In the name box, type a name for the video file for the imported video.
  Choose a location to save your video file from the import to list, or click Browse to choose another location.
  In list Format, high definition video device Format (MPEG) must be selected. Click Next.
  Click Import the entire videotape to my computer (if it is not already started), and then click Next.
   
  The video tape will be rewound to the beginning, and the entire videotape will be imported to your computer.
  The video file imported high-definition is saved as a file to the Microsoft recorded TV show, which is an MPEG-2 video file with a .dvr-ms file name extension.
  (Optional) If you want to stop importing video before the end of the video, click on stop and then click Yes.
  Click Finish.
   
  The imported video is saved as a video file on your computer and appears in Windows Movie Maker.

• X 64 Vista Home Premium CHKDSK does not end. No errors.

  I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit and I get chkdsk runs whenever I start. It runs from stage 1 and complete with 9% of total. Then he will begin to step 2 and 55% of total and the program will stop. However, Windows will continue to start. The problem is that when I try a system restore, it fails and says that there is errors on the disk C: (part of Windows). I tried using F8 repair this computer option and get the same results. I bought and OEM "Vista repair disk" which looks exactly like the F8 option and she also does not terminate and the system reports errors on the restore disc. I tried the "right click on the hard drive" with windows to the top one and error-checking and it will plan a more late and ending. I got a call from the OEM Disk Checker 3.3 of the RS Software Lab disc verification program. I can get it to run and report errors, but I can't seem to fix. It will also schedule chkdsk to run pre-launch who did not finish. What can I do else?

• Reinstalled windows (Vista Home Premium upgrade), will not let me activate

  I had to reformat/reinstall windows on my Vista Home premium computer, but now when I try to activate, I get an error indicating that the upgrade cannot be used for clean installation. That's fine, because I know that the activation of the phone will operate, but I can't find a phone number for the activation of the phone. When I do the slui.exe 4, he'll need just to options where it asks me to put in the code, then gives me just the error message. He will never give me the option for the offline or activation of the phone (I even tried to unplug my internet). I'm looking for a phone number to get it activated...

  The best thing for you to do is repeat the installation, this time as an upgrade of the current, ensuring that you enter the key on request the installation - it should then accept and activate normally.
