WIN ME to WIN XP update

I'm trying to upgrade an old computer (DELL laptop) WIN ME to WIN XP... It has all the pre-reqs (mem, proc speed, disk)... The Setup program starts and returns with the message,
'Installation impossible to WIN ME in WIN XP Professional'

Following the instructions, I also ugraded to INSTALLATION.

Anyone know what this is really telling me?

Thank you...

'Installation impossible to WIN ME in WIN XP Professional'

It's what say you, it is impossible to switch from Win Me to Win XP Professional.

BTW - updates are not kept up-to-date Windows.

Good luck. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

    Success!

    Disconnect the external monitor see, necessary ed: I stopped, disconnected the monitor, put on the market and launched the update to win 10. The first phase where you get the % of the messages of progress went to completion, then the machine has restarted and then a second phase has begun - with % complete rework. This second phase has taken much longer, but finally managed.

    It is in the first phase where I got to 55% before dropping out. Now, everything looks good.

  • Since the final Win XP update, my XP PC freezes a lot.

    I have a Win7 PC for everyday use and an old box of Win XP in my home studio for recording audio. It worked fine for quite a long time.

    After recording not for 8 months, I did some work on this subject, it worked absolutely fine. Then when I stopped that day, he had a truck loaded with Win XP updates including the final XP updates.

    Every time since then, one I start, 5 6 sometimes it freezes dead instantly loading the desktop, either less than a minute. The hard lock. No CTRL ALT DEL doesn't work. I have to reset hard.

    I can't afford a replacement PC soon, and I need that box back immediately for the recording of the work.

    Restart the machine when he turns again hit the F8 key and then start in safe mode.

    From there go into Add / Remove programs and top-right check "show updates."

    Scroll to the bottom of the list and look under Windows XP software updates.

    From there, you can uninstall the updates which could be the cause of the problem, and then reinstall them using Microsoft Update

  • Satellite P750 Win 7 update for Windows 10

    Hello everyone,

    I was recently offered to upgrade my Satellite P750 (PSAY3E-01K00WY4).

    I'm getting confused because of these things. On the list of devices allowed for the Toshiba upgrade I just discovered that my model is not on it.
    However, I managed to install Win 10 and use it for about 20 minutes when error "unhandled exception in thread system" approached. Found out that it is thanks to the inadequate graphics card or its driver.

    Could you confirm me my device is not appropriate for the upgrade and tell me is there a way to upgrade the graphics card because I really like my Toshiba?

    All the best, Bravo!

    You just need to update the display drivers. Download the latest version of Intel/nVidia/ATI (AMD)

  • Pavilion g7t-1100: Internal Microphone does not work do not on HP Pavilion g7t-1100 after winning 10 update

    Can someone (1) confirm that this model of laptop computer has an internal microphone and (2) say how to operate?

    Story:

    I've had this laptop for several years with Win 7 64 bit, recently upgraded to win 10 64-bit edition.  When you run Windows 7, I've certainly used an external microphone with the Jack, but I'm not sure I've ever used the internal mic.  Yesterday I tried to use Skype and couldn't get the microphone to work (I don't have an external mike where I am now).  Started trying to analyze and the only peripheral record listed in the recording of the sound control Panel tab is "Stereo Mix, IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" - don't know if this applies to the internal mic.  Speaking to, or by tapping on the hole of the microphone above the display caused no response at all in the level to the right of the window bars.

    Began to doubt that I have an internal mike, so looked up specifications.  On http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02910495, I found "Webcam with integrated digital Microphone (VGA)", which led me to go on webcam integrated under imaging devices.  Still no final confirmation that I have a mike internal, but I found a laptop computer with mike identified next to the webcam image, this corresponds to my laptop, so I really think that the material is there.

    I used Device Manager to check the updates for the device webcam (HP Webcam-101), and he says that the drivers are up to date.  I did the same thing for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, also updated.  I think that the drivers have been updated when I upgraded to win 10 in February.

    That's it - information or suggestions are welcome.

    Hi there @BruceBon,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! I read your message on the HP Support Forums and see that you are having problems with the microphone on your HP Pavilion g7t-1100 CTO Notebook PC.

    The reason why you can't find loads or User Guides/Manuals books appropriate because the model you have is a laptop CTO, this means it is customized/configured to order. Where did you get to buy your laptop?

    When I went to the Service Guide and HP Pavilion G7 maintenance (generic), it shows an internal microphone located at the top of the LCD, but again, your laptop is a CTO model this is why there is no specification of final product because each of them can be customized.

    You can try to look over some of the screenshots in the microphone troubleshooting document. There are a few sections of this document that you can try.

    If you right click you see him show disabled devices and display devices disconnected in the recording of the Properties tab?

    They have check marks next to them?

  • HP cq5600f: problem with Win 10 update

    I have an old Office - cq5600f - and thinking to upgrade to Windows 7 to win 10. The video provided with the machine, NVIDFEA Geforce 6150, card is not usable with 10 victory. I called NVIDEA, and they said that I must determine if the motherboard accept an improved map.  I don't know how to determine that. Someone has an idea?

    Toni, welcome to the forum.

    You must run HP and Windows updates for you ensure that the software and drivers are up to date before you continue.

    There is a PCI Express x 16 slot on the motherboard for a discrete video card.  However, you will need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The existing PSU is only 250W.  Most newer video cards require at least 400W to work properly.  In addition, video cards more recent than the GT 640 series require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.
