• 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.

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:

• Start/stop button doesn't work is not on Windows 7-HELP - GOING CRAZY!

  Please help if you can. I'm going crazy trying to solve this problem.

  Recently, I made some recommended system updates. Part of the update requires that you restart the computer after the updates. My laptop will not allow absolutely not me to put back in operation or stop my system... only put into hibernation.

  I have done research on corrections and tried several unsuccessful. My last hope was to run the "clean boot" for windows 7, I did, but in the end when it should have restarted I got an error box that says "the System Configuration cannot restart the computer.

  What can I do? I think that my system does not work properly because it has not been restarted because all updates have been loaded. Is there a solution?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Kristi,

  Have you tried to do a hard shutdown and restart the computer?

  If you have not done a hard reboot by manually turning off the power button on CPU, I suggest you to try and see if the problem still occurs.

  If you still experience the problem, then follow these methods:

  Method 1:

  Check out the link and run the Troubleshooter:

  Open the troubleshooter of Performance

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  If the problem is not resolved, I suggest you refer to the article and change what happens when you press the power button on your computer:

• Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

  I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

  As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

  If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

  Hello

  I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

  What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
  Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
  What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

• Satellite L300 - no response keyboard and mouse after Windows 7 upgrade

  Hi all

  After a new Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my PSLB0E L300, I lost the use of the keyboard and mouse pads.

  I did the installation with a usb mouse, who also now works. I downloaded all the drivers connected to my machine using the virtual keyboard, rebooted after each installed drivre, still does not.
  I also updated the BIOS, 1.3-1.5, still does not

  The strange part is that I can't access BIOS with F2, or sequence of starting using F12 at startup, navigate through the BIOS, so the keyboard works, but no longer works when Windows 7 has started.

  I tried to put all the defaults in the BIOS, no change.

  Help! >.< going="" crazy="" over="">

  Hello

  Have you installed additional drivers or tools for these external devices? If so you should remove, just check the software list in Control Panel.

  Normally the touchpad can be turned on/off with the FN + F9 key combination.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what is happening on the factory settings. I mean the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba.

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

• Reinstalling Windows XP for Windows 7 upgrade installation

  Note: Windows XP to Windows 7 help / help of recovery

  I changed Windows XP to Windows 7. When I was on Windows XP I used conflicted software virus: Avast! and Norton. Finally this made me not be able to open anything, especially .exe.  I tried to do a system restore, but I couldn't go to the bar of programs in the start menu. After that, I thought it would be a good time to upgrade to Windows 7 and eliminate these problems. I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 just by putting in the disc, but it wouldn't load because of the previous problem. So, I put in the Windows XP disk and run Setup. When he arrived to the part when he says, "Windows Setup" it came with several errors saying that it could not find the files that should be on the disk. So, I pressed cancel and then turns off my computer. He tells me now when I go to the installation choose a place to put my new windows, and the only one there is C:. The problem is that there are already windows there. Remove the current patrician and then install it or install it even if it is already there. Remember, I want to just install Windows 7 once I get XP working.

  Thanks for all the help in advance!

  Hey Nub-Sauce,

  You can select the C: drive and try the install again. It will try to replace windows with the new installation of windows XP. Failure, then try to delete the current partition and try the install again.

  Note: You may lose the data stored in the system after reinstall, repair, or upgrade Windows XP.
