When you try to upgrade XP Home to XP Professional I received a message: the version of Windows you want to install is older than what is currently installed.
Some time back, I bought an XP Professional Upgrade but when I went to install it is says the upgrade is older than the existing XP Home Edition version, and would not upgrade. I need to upgrade XP Home rather than do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.
Any ideas how to do this? MS provides disk upgrade for people who own a legitimate copy of the operating system? I really don't want to take the installation of XP Home for fear of losing data and all software reconstruction/resettlement.
Thank you.
Thank you. So just put SP3 on CD? I understand what you're saying don't know how "wake". Thanks, really appreciate it - is that I can do that will save a bundle!

"When you try to upgrade to photos in app store I get this message"the object you requested is not available in the store US."does anyone else have this problem or can you tell me how to find pictures in the app store" someone else meets this. Is it me or is it pictures?
Ever photos first? It should have been included when you first update of Yosemite and now El Capitan. I know that iPhotos updates get a message like that, but I didn't know the Photos app with a message with it.

Yesterday, I tried to switch to 8.0.1 twice. Both times the upgrade process seemed to work. I downloaded the files, clicked on install, he says it's "housekeeping" (removal of the old version?), but in the end, I'm still under the old version even.
I've updated home on my laptop, no problem.

Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs
I get this message when you try to run an old MS-DOS - based program in Win-7 Ultimate 64-bit.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »
I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)
Hi Bcopeland,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.
The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.
You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
a. click right on the program.
b. click Properties.
c. click on the tab compatibility.
d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.
Here is an article that gives you more information on this:
Make older programs in this version of Windows
If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.
Hope the helps of information.
If you need assistance in the future to resolve any issues related to Windows, post your query and we will be happy to help you.

Error "a newer version of quicktime is already installed" when you attempt to install QuickTime
I am running Vista as an administrator. I was running itunes version 8.03 for several months. When I went to upgrade to itunes 9.x, I started to have problems. the upgrade was unsuccessful. I then uninstalled quick time and itunes and all the other software Apple via the Control Panel, windows Install CleanUp and also delete the apple key in the registry under the local computer and the current user. I did a search on the computer and remove all apple, quick time and records of safari.
I have also created a new administrator user and tried to install through this user, without success, exact same results.
When I try to install itunes via the downloaded executable software I get the error «a newer version of quick time is already installed...» »
I spent several hours on the phone with Apple and they indicated that they believe that vista is now a registry entry somewhere for quick time that causes the problem. They suggested that I contact Microsoft.
At this point, I can't use my i touch and would like to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE.
Hello flybydug,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.
Apple should have been able to tell where, in the registry that QuickTime written in. However, review the information below.
1. go to C:\Program Files and delete the entire folder QuickTime.
2. click on start - search/search - all files and folders, select the hard disk (C :) to look in, type in QuickTime, and then click search / search when list files appear, click right on and remove any that you confirm are associated with QuickTime.)
3. Click Start, type regedit, and then click OK. Click on the + to:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
In the software submenu, click directly on the entry of Apple Computer, then scroll for QuickTime, right-click and select Remove.Note: If you click on the + to the "entry of Apple Computer, it will grow and you should see"QuickTime"which are listed there.
4. exit regedit. It will save their output.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

I have a large CD collection published by National Geographic. The difficulty lies in the installation of the program that displays the pages. Setup of the program ends. ins. These Photo CD were produced by mindscape. When you try to contact them, they are based in France, and it is impossible to get support for this product. Is it possible to get the installer on the CD to do its job to provide a way to turn the 'pages '?
Hello malaglinskom,
In addition to what Azam offered, you may try the following:
If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.
If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Hope this information helps.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I see that you had problems adding pieces and turn off Genius. I know how it is important to be able to add music to iTunes. I'm happy to help you.
Since you are being invited to turn off Genius, you can add music, please use the following information to resolve these two issues:
Turn on or off the Genius
If iCloud music library is enabled, you cannot disable Genius.
Choose file > library > Genius (toggle Genius).
Turning off the Genius Genius Genius Shuffle shuts and and the Genius Mix.

Curiously, an error just for me that was not there until tonight (I have nothing new installed on my firefox). When I try to highlight text on any page why it automatically scrolls to the top? Very frustrating problem, no matter whether on gmail on an email, facebook or a web page regular when I try to select my browser text is now scroll upward on its own literally as soon as I'm going to highlight, that means I end up selecting everything on the page when it scrolls upward. Can anyone shed some light on how I can solve this problem suddenly?
Thank you
I am pleased to learn that you have been able to solve your problem of Firefox.
I reported this problem to the addon developer, in the hope that they will be able to patch the issue soon.

When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist. Check the path and then try again. "Should I do to get my games back so I can play them? I've tried enabling/disabling of Windows features, but it did nothing. I also tried to go through the run, but that has not worked. And, I tried command prompt, but it says that I am not the administrator, who I am.
Not accessible games
I haven't had any changes consciously, and the games do not work in any user account. When I've done sfc/scannow (command prompt) he said that I was not the administrator. I could learn from another source to solve this problem - in the start menu, right click on the command prompt icon, and then click Run as administrator. Hope everybody help with this problem. If you do not have command prompt in your Start menu, any type of command prompt in your search box and it should appear.
Anyway, my games work now. Thank you
