• I want to switch from XP to 7, but the Upgrade Advisor does not work; How will I know if my computer can handle?

  I'm worried that maybe I need to upgrade my computer before you upgrade to Windows 7, so I would really like to Upgrade Advisor to tell me what I need.  But whenever I try to run it, it just turns and turns and turns (I mean, more than two hours) without ever come up with anything.  So what I do now?

  If you want to know if your computer with Windows XP will be able to handle Windows 7, check system requirements Windows 7 on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements.

  Compare with your own system, right-click on the icon for my computer and then click Properties.

  As long as you an update from XP to 7, the only option you have is Custom installation so there is no sense to the current programs with Windows 7 compatibility check. The thing you should be concerned is the material part. Check the 3 main material that requires compatibility: CPU, RAM and disk space.

  "Enter a different upgrade key
  The upgrade key that you entered is for an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade.  Enter a different key. »
  
  
  Just to be sure, I tried upgrading several times, but got the same message.
  Due to manufacturing defects, my laptop had to be repaired three times.  The motherboard has been replaced twice, the hard drive has been replaced three times and the processor once.  In fact, just a year last month, it still does not properly.  I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade [upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium] at the same time that I buy my laptop. Each time, except this time, I got to spend my OS.
  The operating system on my laptop is now Windows 7 Home Premium [SP1]
  Another thing, I bought this laptop until I moved to the United States to Asia.  If this may have something to do with the problem that I am facing?

• Acer Windows 7 upgrade kit does NOT work!

  Hi I have an Acer Aspire 5538 (4 GB of RAM and 220 GB of memory) I'm trying to upgrade to Windows (vista and both are family premium). I read elsewhere on the site that someone had the same problem as me and earasing everything on computer seemed to have worked according to your suggestions (so I did and put everything on my USB). Later, I used the "dics ghost" factory, which deletes the database from the computer to the factory settings. So I'm trying to upgrade and the first CD has worked well "Acer upgrade disc. Now, when I put in the second one it says that my pc is not compatible, and that my pc must be x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). I went into the "system information", and it clearly states "x 86 based PC" until I do?. The second disk named: "Windows 7 upgrade media" does not work!

• McAfee Site Advisor does not work with Firefox 6.0.1

  Different Firefox users have reported not being able to use McAfee Site Advisor with different versions of Firefox. I have the version update of Firefox (6.0.1) and have been able to use the Site Advisor until September 3, when I renewed my subscription to McAfee Internet Security, which includes the Site Advisor. Now Site Advisor no longer works with my Firefox browser.
  McAfee says that Site Advisor does not work with the "Beta version" of Firefox, but I'm not using the beta version. When I informed them of this, their response is, indeed, "Is not our problem."

  Any suggestions?

  What version of Site Advisor do you use?
  I have re-installed the latest version of Site Advisor which is 3.4 and his works fine for me on Firefox 6. Installed from their website www.siteadvisor.com

• Satellite L670 - after Win 8 upgrade WIFI does not work properly

  Afteer upgrade to Win 8, the WiFi of my Satellite L670-128 has stopped working properly.

  The connection only works some time, usually only a few seconds before the connection is lost.
  After a few seconds or minutes the connection is restored, just soon to be lost again.

  Cannot download large files or even to see larger photos on normal web pages. Is there any Win8 driver for Broadcom coming 802.11n network card, or should I throw one 2.5 year old computer in the trash?

  Buy a usb-wlan card is not an option, as wireless mice is already "permanently" reserving one of the three usb ports and wlan card it would be just to the left...

  To my knowledge this L670 series isn t Win 8 taken in charge and this means that there is no special Win 8 drivers for this device, so I put t think you will find an another Win 8 driver for this WLan card.

  But do you really want to throw this laptop in the trash just because the wifi does not work properly running Win 8?
  The device was working properly under Win 7?

  I would recommend running a few Wlan test.
  For example; Disable wireless encryption on your router and Wifi connectivity with the open network do that just for testing purposes, perhaps you will need to change the type of encryption to test.

• Satellite L500 - after Windows 7 upgrade games does not work in mode full screen

  Hello..

  But if I run a game that is not in the same as the computer screen resulution is a square in the middle of the screen and it is two big black lines down on each side. It does not put the game in full screen. The games in the same resulution works very well.

  Some games may be put to the resulution have this computer.

  How can I do then come in full screen?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you tried to update the display driver? Maybe you have an older version that is not fully compatible with Windows 7. Just check the Web from Toshiba site to get the latest version:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Normally for mode full screen in games you choose the native screen resolution of your screen there.
  Check this box!

  And it would be interesting to know in what games this problem exists

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor does not install

  Hi I posted this on the Vista forum. I got 1 response suggesting I have try to download it again, as I did with the same result. The 2nd answer said not to post this question on the forum of Vista. If she is here now on this forum.

  I downloaded the UpgradeAdvisor a Windows 7 at the same time a running Windows Vista my PC Edition Home Premium and the other Windows XP. It will not install on each PC. I double click on the downloaded file and am asked in Vista to continue, I click "Yes" and then nothing happens. There is no sign of any program running or running any process that did not work until I tried to install the Advisor. Please can someone help. (I tried to disable the system security McAfee but that did not help).

  Well thank you for the suggestion of Steve of Microsoft Developer Network. I tried to download another copy to another location. Unfortunately exactly the same result. Yesterday I download about 5 times in different places, none worked, but I thought I'd try again today - same result. Am I the only person having this problem?

  I followed the advice on another thread closely linked to it. Someone (non-Microsoft) advised using a program called "Winrar" to unzip the file to the millisecond. You can download free Winrar (shareware). I tried and it works very well. It unpacks the MS then called "self-extracting" file downloaded from MS site above and shows you the content. I selected the provedure of installation for the Upgrade Advisor for 32 bits, and low and you installed the Upgrade Advisor on my machine.

  I ran with success of the counselor and am at a complete loss to understand why Microsoft technicians could not have told me in this simple direction rather than give me useless and very lengthy procedures which did not work.

  The adviser tells me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or WIndows 7 MegaSuperCostULoads (or whatever its name). I'm not sure I want now, or if I trust Microsoft more. Maybe I'll switch to Ubuntu.

  When do the upgrade wizard stops exactly and what is the error message you are displayed?

  Can you also tell us what model phone you have? Support this upgrade?

• Satellite R20: After Vista upgrade sound does not work

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite R20 compressed and I recently updated for windows Vista premium edition. I had to install some drivers manually and everything seems ok, except that the Realtek speakers do not play anything (or they are, but very weakly).

  If I plug headphones into the Jack, that I can barely hear the sound. It's highest possible volume wise. Does anyone else have this problem? where can I get any help?

  Thank you

  If you can hear the sound through headphones the sound card works and it of not a driver problem.
  It seems that some sound controller can be assigned to the lower floor.
  I know you said that all is set to high, but nevertheless to check all possible controllers

  But a question: where did you find the Vista drivers for this laptop?
