• Windows 7 installation hangs on the compatibility check

  I am trying to install Win7 (Home premium) update my Vista, but every time the installation starts a compatibility check and goes no further. I let go more than an hour with no progress.  I have run the Upgrade Advisor and it's compatible. So, how do the installation to ignore or perform this check?

  Troubleshooting tips to solve common problems when Windows 7 won't install - try everything you did not yet.
   
  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known issues that might affect the installation and correct them.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
   
  2 disable any security software: anti-virus, firewall etc. Don't forget to activate the Afterwords.
  3 make sure that your computer has the BIOS and latest drivers. Update of the BIOS can be risky, don't do that if nothing else works.
  4. disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse before installing.
  5. If using a video card and the computer has integrated video use and remove the video card.
  6 unplug the computer from the internet, if you have wireless disable.
  7. RAM (memory) - reduce the amount of RAM. 1 GB if 32-bit installation, 2 GB for 64-bit, then replace RAM if the upgrade was successful. If you added new RAM make sure it is also compatible.
  8. If you have several hard drives remove all except the one that you install Windows 7, and then replace it after Windows 7 is installed.
  9. If you have downloaded Windows 7 and it burned a DVD test burn again at the slowest speed possible. It is also possible the download may have errors, you can try to download it again.
  10. If you click 'Upgrade' to start the installation make sure that you take a supported upgrade path. You can't make a room upgrade: A) XP to Windows 7, B) changing bit type ex: 32 to 64-bit C) change the languages, D) decommissioning editions ex: Vista of the month last 7 Pro, or E) Vista Home Pro 7.
   
  11. check your RAM (memory) to find errors. Can take a long time, don't make that if nothing else has worked.
  (A) Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.
  (B) start from the Windows 7 DVD.
  (C) select your language, and then click Next.
  (D) click on "repair your computer" then select the operating system to fix it.
  (E) click on the link of the Memory Diagnostics in the system recovery menu.
  (F) the computer will restart and your memory is checked for errors.
   
  12 turn off startup programs:
  (A) click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
  OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
  If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
  (B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.
  (C) just below the selective startup, clear the checkbox "Load Startup items".
  (D) click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", and then click Disable all.

• Windows 7 installation hangs at the end of the installation on Optiplex 380

  Trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 pro on an Optiplex 380. Installation on a new sata WD 500 hd crashes.

  The pc was purchased from Dell and came with installed Win XP and Win 7 DVD. The only change from the original configuration was to install a Radeon HD 4650 graphics card.

  Although it does not have some puff at the back usb ports, it is otherwise works perfectly well in XP. Latest BIOS uopdated. Anything else that the keyboard usb, usb mouse, video cable dvi and cable network.

  A web search shows a wild range of suggestions - remove this, disable, enable AHCI in the bios

  Thanks for the links.

  Watching the DVD I was using and he was embarrassed to see that he was 4 years old well in its sealed packaging. Of course no SP1 etc. Before trying to update the Sata drivers separately, decided to download a recent iso - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links - try and install it. Went like a charm with no problems whatsoever.

• Windows Vista business is update, download and installation; even when the update is set to manual.

  I put the manual update manually. But despite this it keeps update, download and installation. Sometimes I turn off a few updates and suddenly, after a few hours, these unwanted updates begin to update! This is a joke, very annoying and the invasion of privacy!

  I don't know what exactly when this problem started, but I can stop the machine and it will start normally.  If upodates are installed and the machine restart it hangs at the bios screen all the time.

• Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

  My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

  Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

  Hello

  What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
  You can access the BIOS?
  If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

• Upgrade to Windows 10 new disk when the Windows 7 hard drive does not

  I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 Pro and since last week, it will fail to start.   It seems that it is approaching, but everything does not end.    I would just buy a new SSD and upgrade to Windows 10.      I don't have Windows 7 installation floppies, but the license key is on the case of the office.      What are my options?   Hopefully I won't need to buy Windows because my hard drive has failed.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience and appreciate your interest for Windows 10.

  The license key of the operating system is integrated into the motherboard. To enable Windows 10 without facing any errors, you must activate the previous version of Windows with a valid license key, and then proceed to the upgrade.

  If you replace the SSD HARD drive, you must activate the previous Windows, i.e. Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 version, if it is a true copy as well as the activation key and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  Since you do not have an installation disc, I suggest to create one by downloading the ISO image of Windows 7 on a CD or USB key and check if you are able to download the operating system.

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home

  After downloading and installing Windows 7, upgrade to Windows media authoring tool10.

  Note: See the section on the use of the media creation tool from the link above for more information.

• There is an option in the bios to set the sata drive * IDE *-mode?

  There is an option in the bios to set the sata drive * IDE *-mode?

  Grobi

  Hi dude

  That s a funny question.
  No, there is no option in the BIOS!

  Please understand that there are various interfaces to drive HARD. IDE and SATA.

  There is a big difference between the two interfaces and the function of the HARD disk on the motherboard controller, you could use a HDD IDE or SATA HDD.

  But you cannot connect a SATA HDD to IDE or IDE HDD controller for the SATA controller. This is not possible due to different hardware.
  This is not possible and that's why these BIOS settings are not available or don t exist!

  Good bye

• 4200 exempts no paper when the tiroir2 is set to standard

  Hello

  I have LaserJet 4200, which raises the paper when the selector on tray 2 is in the custom position, but does not throw when the selector is set to Standard. From what I see when you switch selector in Standard or custom, the only difference is the three bars in plastic on the side of the status bar engaged three contacts in the printer when the tray is in. When the tray is in Standard mode, only the contact in the middle is engaged.

  I'm not sure if it's the average contact in the printer that is inoperable, or maybe the coil in the engine of the elevator that is connected to the central contact. And I can't find anything on the replacement of the elevator tray 2 on the web engine.

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  For the printer, I pulled the tiroir2 out and played with the contacts of three tray on the side of the printer, by pushing brake, he seems to have an effect of resetting this switch, and so far it raises the tray very well...

• Windows 7 installs due to the error of the BIOS

  I just bought Windows 7 and was able to download without a problem, when I get to the part of the Installation it comes up with an error message saying that I need to update my BIOS. I tried to look up places to download and followed other forums but have not been able to find one that works.

  This is the error message that appears.

• Dell XPS 8700 - failure of the keyboard when the bios boot (but not when Windows is loaded)

  My Dell XPS 8700 has 10 Windows and a Logitech Keyboard wireless, connected by USB. The keyboard works absolutely fine when Windows has loaded. I have the latest version of the bios, A11.

  However, when the computer is turned on and starts the bios start, it displays 'Keyboard Failure' on the screen for about half a second. When I try to go into the bios setup by pressing "F2" at the counter (I keep typing "F2" from the moment when I press the power button on the computer), there is no answer. The "keyboard failure" and inability to enter the bios setup seems to happen if I do a cold immediately after a stop start, a cold start after the computer is turned off for an extended period or a reboot.

  I tried to connect the wired keyboard original Dell one of the USB ports on the front of the unit (without disconnecting the wireless keyboard) with the same problem at the start of the bios.

  I encountered this problem on versions of bios A11 both A03. I know that in the past, although I don't remember when - I was able to enter the bios setup by pressing "F2".

  Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

  You can try and reset the CMOS. It will return your settings to factory settings, but not the version. Usually, this erases these problems because CMOS stores data editable such as your wireless keyboard settings. BIOS stores the information about the basic material that is unchangable as your keyboard usb, mouse and other essential equipment. If you notice, when you just plugin any keyboard and mouse, its recognized at startup. Your needs software to run wireless device and that is stored in the CMOS.

  So once reset you the CMOS, you may need to then install the wireless software.

  Good luck.
