Question for the Vista Home Premium upgrade to Windows 7?
After you run the Upgrade Advisor, I like Windows mail is compatible with Windows 7. How can I save my emails filed so I don't lose them when I do the upgrade? Thamks
Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. That being said...
Your Windows Mail data will be preserved when you switch to Win7.
Unlike Vista and Windows XP, Win7 does NOT have any default mail client. However, you can install Windows Live Mail (free) or another e-mail Client (e.g. MS Outlook, which is not free) and then import data from Windows Mail stored in your new email Client.
You can find more help in this specific Win7 forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads
You will find public support for Windows Live Mail in this discussion group: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

I've recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium 64 for windows 7 Ultimate. When I click on Windows update after the installation, I get a blank screen that represents only a trace 'control panel-windowns update"and do not minimize or access the icons on my screen. I can always get on the internet and open programs, but this screen blakn is on my page icon. Incications are just running the program, but it displays 0 complete after 1 hour.
Hi S RAGAN,
I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.
From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".
To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.
1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
5. click on OK.
6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.
If the same problem persists then, reset the Windows Update components and check.
To reset the Windows Update components visit the link below and click on solve this button / follow the given steps to repair it yourself.

Let me know if it worked.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer
Yes.
You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk
Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...
Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.
Alternatively, try your local computer store.
This isn't for free.

Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc
Hello
I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP. Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem). So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.
I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.
My question is:
If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.
Thanks for your help
Evereti
Hi Evereti,
You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?
Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.
It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet

Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Windows complete PC Backup and Restore
Dear Madam, dear Sir
Upgraded my laptop HP DV7 Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, mainly to use Windows complete PC Backup and Restore.
The restore time and unfortunately no option in the boot menu at startup to restore system from images. No menu advanced etc. I guess starting always remains at the level of the premium and does not provide "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" restore options.
Grants menu of system restore points, with only the last good restore point and no option to select point of previous restoration or system image to restore from.
Mmmm nice ideas...
Thanks in advance
Good day
Kent
Hello
Complete PC Backup is designed for the reinstallation of the operating system that you have backed up.
You access it to start from a Vista DVD.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-complete-PC-Restore/
To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer.

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.

Genuine Windows clean install
Hello
I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers. They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem. So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on. Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista. It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium! It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows? I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.Kind regardsLewisHere are some utilities which displays product key Vista Matech used to activate Windows:

I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (I think that SP1 anyway). Last night June 17, 2011, update of Windows installed an update or updates. Now, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Windows Installer, Windows Sidebar, Panel, Windows Update and other Microsoft programs all fail. I get messages with various error codes. A message is 'class not registered '. I tried a restore to a previous restore point, but apparently the only restore point is the one made after the update. What can I do here? I know that I can always restore the factory image (Dell), but I'd rather not if I can help it.
Hi doc,
Method 1:
You can try to repair aStartup if it is included in the system recovery options provided by the manufacturer of the computer or start from the disc for Installation of Windows Vista.
Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?
Method 2:
Alternatively, you can try to start a disk check and check.
You can view the following link to perform a disk check:
Check your hard drive for errors
Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.
Hope this information is useful.

Complete PC Backup and restore | Vista home Premium | upgrade
I want to create a full backup/restore of my system because 1 of my RAID volume has failed. (My computer is less than 6 months old). I was ignorant when I bought my new system Vista Home Premium won't let me create this type of backup.
In order to get this feature that I have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for $220? This seems a little high for a function. Also if I update can I erase on my current hard drive when you install the upgraded operating system (i.e. I have to reinstall everything anyway since the full backup/restore will not work until the new operating system is installed)?
TIA
