• HP Pavilion & "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor came across a problem.

  Windows 7 would work on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6132eu)?

  So I used "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" of the Microsofts. Which caused the error "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor stumbled into a problem that your scanning devices. Upgrade Advisor needs to be able to scan your devices to determine whether your computer is capable of running Windows 7 ".

  The laptop is probably not good enough for Windows 7, why?

  I assumed, the Upgrade Advisor would tell me, what pieces of hardware is / are not specific to Windows 7.

  In a forum Technet, say, the Adviser is blocked by some HP hardware. Which?

  Best regards, Willem

  My problem has been resolved.

  Previously, the problem with "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor BETA.

  I waited two months - now, I executed the Adviser again, resulting in "an important upgrade".

  And guess: update Advisor works like a rocket, finishing with a nice report with minor problems.

  So I think that the problem was a "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" - problem - not a HP computer laptop-problem.

• Windows 7 upgrade advisor, program compatibility HP Media

  owner of an HP dv6-1245dx. Always running vista, upgrade to 7 soon.

  I downloaded the windows Upgrade Advisor 7, I ran the program. 3 mistakes come in saying I have the version of the HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV program

  I click on him "click here to get a compatiable version," programs.

  1. I click on HP Media Smart DVD, it takes me to a page where it wants me to download a version for HP touchsmart... but I do not have an HP smart touch, I a dv6 (wrong product).

  2. I click on the HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, which brings me to random about the software with no upgrade or products page

  3. I click on th HP Media TV, I see that he wants me to download an older version of the program.

  so I download, install, restart my computer, run the Upgrade Advisor, hoping to see that there are 2 errors, but NO, the HP mediaSmart TV said it must still be fixed... which I just did again!

  Basically the first link go to a page of bad product, and the second link sent me to a random page that talks about program and it does not recognize that I just fixed one of the questions that he told me to fix.

  Can you guys help out me?

  What are the program version compatiability of HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV, which will allow me to level to windows 7 safely?

  Hello

  Windows 7 upgrade advisor is not so smart as you think. It showes sometimes bad results.

  According to this document from HP to down:

  The upgrade to Windows 7

  Question:

  Unable to uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD in Windows 7.

  Fix or workaround:

  Uninstall MediaSmart DVD before the upgrade to Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 7, install the compatible version Windows 7 HP MediaSmart DVD the DVD Upgrade Wizard at level HP or www.hp.com/support .

  Which means then you just uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD before upgrade.

  When you're after update just install all of the latest software for MediaSmart and everything should be ok.

• Cannot download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

  I can't download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Everytime I try it says "Connection interrupted", but there is nothing wrong with my connection. I had the same problem when I bought a Zune and tried to download the software necessary to run it (I had to go back because I never solved the problem) now I think, I never seem to be able to download anything from Microsoft, but I don't have an active version of Windows Vista with the valid product key.

  What should I do to fix this? I will pass a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64 bit 7 as soon as get the boot disk (I have to wait for the boot disk, right?...) and I want to get things ready. Thank you.

  Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows.

• failure of the system after the installation of windows 7 upgrade advisor

  original title: failure of the system after the installation of the Advisor to upgrade to windows 7, which now, I can't delete

  My Winows Vista worked fine until I downloaded the windows 7 upgrade advisor - the system crashed, only load windows in safe mode, and when I try to delete the Upgrade Advisor program, it tells me windows service install is not available...

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor isn't complete

  Whenever I try to run the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor it never ends (I even gave it the day after once!) and I have to cancel it. Any ideas what can go wrong?

  First of all, let's make sure that you have the right one: http://windows-7-upgrade-advisor.en.softonic.com/.  In case your original copy was defective, uninstall the original program and reinstall using this new download.

  If it never ends, it may have had a problem with your original download or there could be other reasons.  This is the first time I've heard there has not squarely and simply frozen.

  Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If it's running, the problem is resolved.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

  It takes only a few minutes (less than an hour for sure) - so if she's enjoyed that it is frozen.

  If none of the above work, then repost your question in the Forums Windows7:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.  There may be another way, I'm not about to determine whether or not the computer can be improved.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will work (unexpected error)

  My Vista Machine won't work for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It is said he "encountered an unexpected error" (not too informative, huh?) and advise the relocation, which does not.  Or no tweaking startup with msconfig and disable my antivirus/firewall. The program is in the "zone of confidence" anyway. How can I get a handle on this problem?

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.

  type controls 2 successively, hitting enter after each one.

  WMIC \\root path "__espacenoms '" delete

  mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

  2. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, save the
  WMI DLL files with the steps below.

  1. click on start and type CMD
  2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.
  b. type the following commands one by one, and then press ENTER at the end of each
  command:

  CD /d %windir%\system32\wbem
  for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 %I s
  for %i in (*.exe) do %i/regserver
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mof "" ') do mofcomp %s
  for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mfl ' ') do mofcomp %s

  Note: The WMI Tester window may appear, it is
  normal and we can move forward to close.

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

  I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

  A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

  The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

  Where should I go now?
