Windows 7 upgrade advisor was wrong

He informed that a Dell Inspiron 2400 can be updated. I installed an OEM version, and screen resolution allows only 640 x 800 in color true or 1080 x 1200 with 256 colors. Apparently, the graphics card can not handle win7. Why he pass the test upgrade then? I would be grateful for any help.

Because the Upgrade Advisor provides generic information, some of which may be wrong.

Your first port of call if Win Upgrade is your site for your model of PC makers, if the PC manufacturer does not provide the victory of specific driver version, you upgrade at your own risk.

In your case Dell provides only winXp drivers, and the graphics is a chip on the motherboard integrated Intel

  • which is wrong with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor?

    I want to run Upgrade Advisor to check if I'm having problems with Windows 7 on my PC.
    I guess I found my first problem...
    When I run Upgrade Advisor, I get the following message:

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor could not reach the server from Microsoft for more compatibility information. You check the Internet or see if there is a new version of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    I am running Windows XP pro SP3, the firewall is disabled, windows Upgrade Advisor is the latest version just downloaded, internet works fine.

    Hello world

    When Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor could not connect to the Microsoft server, it is usually a problem with the proxy.  Try a toggle or to pass to another via Internet Explorer (Tools-> Internet Options-> connections).  Upgrade Advisor does not support proxies that requires authentication, i.e. you must type your user name and password.

    Upgrade Advisor saves some out of diagnosis in % temp%\wuadiagnostics.log.  Feel free to take a look at this file to see how the Upgrade Advisor exception is meet or send this file to * address email is removed from the privacy *, and we'll take a look at Microsoft.

  • 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!

  • 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 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?

    Here are a few advanced WMI troubleshooting you can try.

    1. on Windows XP Pro and Vista, run the two separate commands to
    recreate the Windows Management Instrumentation database files.

    NOTE: Under vista, there must be run from an administrator command prompt commands

    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.

    Let me know if this helps, please also indicate any error you see in the above process.
