• Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

  I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

  I hope this helps!

  There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

  Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

  visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

  When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

  Start > run > C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

  For the 64-bit version, change the command run 86 read 64

  In the alternative, there is a troubleshooting tool that can work to accomplish the same thing

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

  Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

  When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

  If there are still problems with Windows update try this utility.

  It is the #25 element in the repair tool to be implemented.

• My Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit will make not a disk defragment!

  My Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit will make not a disk defragment! Can anyone help?

  "Disk Defragmenter is currently using custom settings created by another program."
  RE - issue of Tom Ferguson - "computer maintenance program."
  Including Norton or any of the other AV that has 'optimize' tools
  It's may be in conflict with the Windows Defragmenter?

  "The drive has 318 439 Go free."
  My understanding is Win7 Defragmenter needs 15% free space and you
  are a bit lower than that.
  Normally, you would get a message saying that you have enough free space, but
  who cannot occur due to the other error message.

  "Or is the only alternative-3 rd party software?
  You can try AusLogics Disk Defrag, but still 15% needs to free up space.

  «Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall MS disk defrag»
  You cannot uninstall or reinstall defrag Ms.
  ... Just a guess. If it were somehow corrupted you might replace the .msi file
  with a new copy,

• Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit not updated, the error code 80070005.

  Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit not updated, the error code 80070005.  Have tried little about everything without success.

• Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment

  Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly.  It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again.  It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really.  Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)

  Hi islgrl10,

  Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.

  To check for errors on a partition,

  1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
  2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
  3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.

  Kind regards
