• Windows Vista Upgrade shut down my computer at 03:00 and 7 hours disappeared

  After working on an Excel 2003 worksheet for seven hours on my computer (Windows Vista) most recent. A box suddenely appears asking if I wanted to save the spreadsheet I was working on that. Just as I clicked on save the computer automatically stop apparently down to install the updates, it had downloaded earlier (every day at 03:00 I see). My spreadsheet now appears as it did seven hours before. Is there a way to recover my work? Left on file temp perhaps, hidden away somewhere.

  I can't believe this kind of programmed computer crash is the parameter defaoult for Windows Vista upgrades, but it seems that to be this way.

  For future use, in addition to change the settings for upgrade by default to ask before downloading anything, as I do, is it possible (as it was years ago) to set up a recording every few minutes in Office 2003 automatic? If so, how should I do that.

  Hi ttam24,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  If you wish, you can set your updates to install only if you are recommending.

  Here are the steps;

  1. Open Windows Update (click on the Start button, click all programsand then click Windows Update).

  2. Select change settings and choose how you want Windows to install updates.

  For Microsoft Office you can post your question on the forum of Microsoft Office.

• Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 8

  I am currently running Windows Vista and is considering upgrading to Windows 8 times the computer company (Dell) and the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 gave me the OK to install Windows 8 Pro.  The latter say that 75% of my computer applications are compatible and listed the 18 who were not compatible (obsolete, update available, need to re-setup, solution available).  I am concerned about the graphics card drivers or network, operation bi-ecrans, etc.  What has been the experience with the functioning of previous programs, software and hardware with Windows 8 so far?  No work around?

  From Vista, you should have very few issues. You can visit the sites of manufacturers for updates to driver for Windows 8. Most of Windows Vista/7 drivers will work with 8 that he shares a very similar code base.

  Hi Jeremy,.

  Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
  There were a total of 10 updates:
  4 a security updates for Vista,
  1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
  1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
  1 windows Live essential 2011
  1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
  1 "" for Office 2010 "
  1 April 2013 malware tool
  I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
  I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
  Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
  How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
  Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

• Satellite P100 - every time the upgrade no longer works

  My venerable (4 years and older) P100 finally needed a larger HARD drive and a reload. Not bad because he had 2 new covers and needs another.

  Immediately after purchase, I used the utility to upgrade Express to Ultimate that was billed by Toshiba.
  The only thing I got from Toshiba was the paid invoice.

  I made a note of the license key before work (and I still have the old disk) but the Express upgrade service is no longer supported by Microsoft and the recovery media does not give the possibility to upgrade the license.

  How can I get the version I paid for the school year?

  Message came that said my copy of Vista can be victim of piracy and go online to validate that, I did it because I have been using this OS for more than 3 years on a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit p2000 series. a few hours later my computer said it needed to restart and once it restarted it has a black screen with a message that he was trying to repair. It could not be repaired so he asked if ok to go to a restore point and clicked on Yes. I get the message that my copy is not genuine and my computer wants to restart once again, but I'm the delay of four hours. I did the command line to try to restart the service and access has been denied. 0x80070426. I found an ad on the forum and tried the steps there, but he failed.

My Control Panel opens and goes away, but I could remove tweetdeck which is among the most recent installations of software I did before this all happened. I am also running xampp on my desktop and I tried to put in place a virtual host by using a different port - could not get that to work and changed the host to the original file.

  Hello Ebflute,

  I suggest that you perform a repair installation.

  Repair facility:

  You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.

  Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

  2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

  3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

  4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

  5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

  6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

  7 follow the instructions.

  Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

  Its computer system

  Device drivers

  If you notice missing files after the upgrade, look in the following folders:

  These files can be eliminated with disk cleanup as "records destroyed by upgrade to Windows".

  can I switch from Windows Vista to Windows 10 one-step bypassing Windows 7, 8.1 etc.. ? For a free upgrade offer applies here?

  Hello

  You must purchase an operating system to be upgraded, regardless of which path to take.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
