Vista Ultimate 64-bit back to 32-bit

Similar Questions

• Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

  The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.
  
  I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
  Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

  Hi Hal K,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

  If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

  Hi Herman,.

  You can try to use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer data and settings to C: on D: drive and install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the C: drive. After installing Windows Vista 64 bit on C: drive try to reuse Windows Easy transfer to transfer the data back (from D: to C: drive).

  You can also take an external data backup before you attempt the Installation of Windows Vista.

  For more information, you can consult the following articles:

• 26 of Firefox crashes out of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

  No matter if I click on the red X, go to file-> exit or press Alt + F4 to exit Firefox under Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit. It almost always produces an error message that Firefox has stopped working.

  I can't find how to post a JPEG Screenshot of the error here.

  This will not occur under Windows XP Pro.

  Otherwise, the browser works fine in a BONE.

  Those are the two reports of the crash on Adobe Flash Player.

  You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

  • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
  • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
  • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

• Reinstallation DVD for Vista Ultimate 64 - bit Edition

  Hi all

  New on the HP community and I must say I am impressed. I just bought an A6660T with Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition desktop computer. I talked to a very competent sales representative. He informed me that after I received the system, I could call Technical Support and the requisition of the re - install Vista Ultimate 64 bit dvd for $30. Has anyone done that? The reason I ask, I want to do my own clean install of the o/s, the recovery disks will not be enough for me. I believe that HP has these records on-site. I appreciate all the comments and look forward to a great experience here on the HP Forum!

  Thanks again

  Welcome to the forums! I can't wait to start your experience here with a negative, but the game you order from HP is the same as the recovery set, you can burn using Recovery Manager on your computer. HP is not the finish plain Vista install DVD for class of consumer machines.

  The sales representative may have thought class machines business, which I guess still has this option as they did on XP machines.

• Satellite X 200-219: are there drivers for Vista Ultimate 64-bit

  I am trying to upgrade the operating system on the X 200-219 this 32-bit edition of Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 - bit Edition.

  The question is, are there drivers available for the satellite X 200 series that support Windows Vista 64-bit systems?

  Also, if I can't upgrade, how can I use a maximum of 4 GB of RAM installed on my system if Windows Vista Home Premium can only see 3 GB max?

  > The question is, are there drivers available for the satellite X 200 series that support Windows Vista 64-bit systems?
  Unfortunately, it does seem that the divers from 32-bit (no matter if it s Vista or XP) are available on the European driver Toshiba page.
  It seems that the Vista 64 bit drivers are not supported at this time.

  > How can I use a maximum of 4 GB of RAM installed on my system if Windows Vista Home Premium can only see 3 GB max?
  Well, usually the memory of 4 GB problem is the limitation of 32 bit OS System.

  However, I read some reviews and it looks like this after installing Vista SP1, one can recognize all of 4 GB.

• Tecra S10-106 - 3 G driver for Vista Ultimate 64-bit

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Tecra S10-106. Due to the fact that Vista Ultimate 64 bit is much faster than Vista Business 32-bit, I would use Vista ultimate 64-bit operating system, but I can't find the 3G for Vista 64-bit driver. All the drivers can be downloaded from the USA in English and can be used in German, only the 3G driver is missing. Can someone send me a download link or tell me where I can find a driver for Vista-bit 66?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can download the drivers here:

• Satellite A200 (PSAE6) crashes on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

  Hello

  I recently had a few frequent freezes on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition, I think it's maybe the video card (ATI HD2600 mobility). I have already downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Toshiba site, but it continues to, sometimes, when I'm playing games, the screen blinks for 5 seconds or more and then would become black, completely erased, but the background sound and everything still works well and I am able to shut down the PC by pressing the power button once and then restart it normally.

  It's a minor problem, the major problem is the freezing point, it freezes completely without warning, but oddly enough, he freeze by practicing a game! But freezes on normal operations (internet, office, etc.). I did the tests, tests of HARD drive memory, all in good health, and worse, on the Windows Event Viewer could not detect any problem, simply says 'unexpected system shutdown.

  I'd appreciate help please.

  Thank you

  Hi I do not know if this will help, but you've got service pack 1 installed on your laptop, as when I installed it on my desktop the first time it caused blue screen errors and gave me a lot of problems, including the error messages that seemed to come with applications, I opened and a boring IQRL driver equal or less than but could not work why and then ultimately , I had so many problems that I had to completely reformat my office and I removed my scanner XP and webcam (both had vista drivers) and when I reinstalled service pack 1, it was beautiful, if by any chance do you have anything attached to your XP laptop and vista drivers as these seemed to be what was causing my errors.

  Also a question about your graphic card drivers, I have the same laptop as you and was looking for updates to the graphics driver and couldn't find them anywhere on the site, where did you find yours? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit, my model number is A200-28 p (PSAE6) and I would like to know if there is a new graphics card driver but can not find on the basis of knowledge, so the fact you have updated your would be could you point a new user in the right direction :-)

  Thank you

  Please help with what the cause is and how I can fix this, broke down 3 times now, can not insert installation CD because I've never given one, laptop pre-installed with vista

  Hi enois14,

  Because you have a notebook Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and you do not have an installation disc there is nothing we can do in this situation.

  The only thing I can say for now is to try to start safe mode and do a system restore.

  It uses system restore to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time, without affecting personal files, the restore points. For more information, you can access the link below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  If you do not want to do a system restore then you may need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop to see if they have a way to access the recovery partition with shortcut keys during the startup.

  Recovery for systems pre-installed OEM options are configured by the manufacturer of the PC and can vary from one system.

  Hope this information was useful.

  Can I upgrade vista ultimate 32 bit sp2 for vista 64-bit?

  Ranging from a 32-bit operating system 64-bit operating system is NOT a upgrade path.

  It must do a clean install with a full version of a Vista 64 bit operating system.

• Can I switch from Vista Ultimate 32 bit for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

  I have a Vista Ultimate 32 bit legtitimate, I've never used and I want to upgrade to a legitimate Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Is it possible to do it and how?

  John

  During the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, you must do a clean install.  You can transfer most of your settings via the windows Easy Transfer Wizard, but you will need to re - install all the applications.

  It becomes a bit messy

• Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit product key

  I bought an upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit used one month without the product key. I have two more days to activate windows. Anyone know where I can get a product key?

  Hello

  Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  You will have to take a chance and buy a DVD / a license on Amazon, eBay, etc.

  Be careful when you run the risk of buying pirated software.

  See you soon.
