Cannot upgrade to Windows XP Pro from XP Home

Hi there,
I am having trouble upgrading to XP Pro.
I have a Satellite A40-702, using a full version of XP pro it gets to exactly 70% of copying files before installation then I get a message saying cannot copy dxdiagn.dll. I can skip the file but then I have the same problem with other .dll's.
Any suggestions would be grately appreciated.
Many thanks, Kris.

Hi, I am no expert, but maybe try to copy the disk with Windows first, just to eliminate the possibility that it might be scratched or something.
Second of all, does the XP Pro have SP2 integrated on the disk? I could not install Windows on my M70 because the one already pre-installed had SP2, whereas the Install CD had only SP1.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Mike.

  • T61 (7658 03U) Upgrading to Windows 7 pro

    I have a T71 (7658 03U) Chipset GM965 with XP Pro SP3 installed. I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. I have 3 GB of RAM and it looks like I have a 32 bit version of XP installed. How do I move to Windows 7 pro and can I install the 64 bit version of Win 7 Pro? Ran the Windows 7 Advisor but it is not real clear on drivers. Also thought I saw in this forum that my machine could run 8GB of RAM. Please advise on how to successfully migrate to Windows 7 Pro. Thank you.
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    While a T61 will take 8GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit OS in order to utilize more than 3GB.
    Clean install is the only approach I'd recommend and T61 is fully supported in the W7 environment.
    Happy upgrading.

  • TS1538 I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and now my ipod touch is not recognized in itunes

    When I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro my ipod touch is no longer recognized in itunes.  I tries reinstalling itunes with no luck.  The device is registered id device manager as a camera?

    It is normal and expected for the iPod to be seen as a camera as well as appear in iTunes.
    For the iTunes problem try:

    I would start by removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1

    Hi.
    I have just purchased a 2nd hand Helix with warranty until mind 2016, running Win 8 Pro.
    When I tried to upgrade to Win 8.1 I recieved a message saying that this version I have is not eligible for upgrade to Win 8.1. I checked and found that the version of Windows I have is Verified, but has an expiry date in Oct 2015. The worst news is when I called Miscroft and was advised that my version of windows is not genuine! 
    Shouldn't the Helix come preinstalled with OEM Win 8 Pro (at least thats what it says on the box) ? I since tried to create a recovery drive in an effort to reset the machine to its original condition but without success (i could create the drive but seems the refresh process doesnt recognize it...)
    My question is: Is there away to reset my Helix to its original condition with genuine windows 8 Pro so that I could upgrade to 8.1 and win 10 subsequently?
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not all Versions of Windows 8 Pro are able to directly update to Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Not even all Helix are sold with the Windows 8 Pro Edition.
    So I think this would help you to install Windows 8.1 Pro on your Helix: Upgrade genuine windows 8 pro to windows 8.1 I'ts surely not the problem that your Windows is not genuine.
    To get your recent Windows Key you can use e.x. Key Finder 2.0
    To Install Windows 8.1 Pro you can use the Key GCRJD-8NW9H-F2CDX-CCM8D-9D6T9

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes Store from my home network since I upgraded to ios 6

    I own an iPad 2 and recently upgraded to ios 6. Since then, I cannot connect to the iTunes store from my home network.  I can navigate any other site and access any other application.  I can even reach the iTunes store through My Personal Hotspot and through my office network. 
    Has anyone experienced something similar?  My network carrier is Telmex and I know for sure, they block port 25.  Any guess on whether there could be a setting impeding connection?
    Help!!!

    Hi Nickey,
    If you are having difficulty connecting to the iTunes store from your PC there are a number of things you can try to get connected again. Details are available in this article -

  • G500 - Cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1

    Hello there,
     I got my brand new Lenovo G500  i5-3230M last week and I cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1
    The procedure works fine until the Microsoft and Skydrive Registration part but when it reboots I only get a blank screen.
    I've tried this 3 times on a clean Windows 8 installation with all Windows Updates installed and I always get the same.
    I've been told by a colleague of mine that it might have to do with the ATI RADEON 8570M graphics card and its drivers incompatibility with Windows 8.1 but I'd like a more expert opinion.
    Please guide me on what I need to do to go through with the upgrade. Thank you very much

    I am fixing this computer for a friend and it make me wished he has bought a Mac. Its ridiculous how somethig as simple as an update can worked so wrong....
    Anyhow:
    After some searching in the web I was able to fix this problem.
    First you have to load windows in Safe mode
    This is done by pressing f8 during bootup
    Then you will find a menu giving you different options for loading restore points. It was under three options of menu (which I dont really remember, may be something like boot mode) but it clearly stated "Safe Mode"
    After that I get was able to get in windows, wnt to control panel, System, System, Device Manager and disable Intel HD Graphics
    Reboot the system in normal mode and it worked.
    Sadly I have many devices errors in my Lenovo Solution Center 
    I will try to find the drivers and keep you posted

  • I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0

    I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0!
    I have a Volume Licensing for several Adobe Products and now I want to upgrade two of the Design Premiums to 6.0.  I have bought two Retail upgrades (with a little discount) but this not going to work.
    The Support help Chat says that I cannot use a Retail Upgrade for a Volume Licensed Design premium.
    Why? I haven't found any info about this. So after two hours a chatting with several persons at the Helpdesk I was provided with a phone number.
    When I called this Phone Number they said my serial was not connected to my Account. Unbelievable because in my Account there are all the right Numbers.
    This man said I had to call another number 08004438158 to solve my Problem. Connect to this Number is Impossible (not reachable)! 
    What to do? I cannot solve this problem with the Support Chatbox,
    I cannot solve this with a support employee on the Phone and another Phone Number is not reachable.
    I have paid a lot of Money throughout the years with Adobe Products. We are running 7 Design Premiums, Several Photoshops, several Adobe Servers Applications and two prescriptions of the CC.
    And now nobody can help me with this problem????

    Thanx Mylenium for your Suggestion .
    Today I have done another attempt by Phone. From the Netherlands Customer Service I received a different telephone number for Support. It took a while this Morning and a little patience but at last I received two unlocking Codes. So I didn't need to start an Online Support Case.

  • 17t-k000 CTO upgrade to Windows 10 Pro

    Hi AllJust quick two questions,"Has anyone installed WIndows 10 Pro on their ENVY 17t-k000 CTO 8.1 Pro...Product # G0U21AV?"....&"If you have, was the installation successful, uneventful and how does the laptop preform with the New upgrade?"In anticipationThank you for your inputStu

    Thanks, I was dreading that. Now I have the pleasure of going through and trying to get the right drivers and apps installed when I upgrade to Windows 10 Pro as I suspect I'll lose them when I install Widows 7. You should also add that people MUST make sure to record the activated product key that is generated during the upgrade BEFORE doing a clean install of Windows 10. I suspect that MS wants people to first upgrade to Windows 10 before they do a clean install so that MS can generate a unique product key that is matched to the individuals' hardware. Otherwise I would have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on another machine, upgraded it to Widows 10 Pro, and then just copied the product key that would have been generated and then install Windows 10 Pro on my Yoga 2 Pro. That would have (hopefully) saved me hassle of losing the apps and drivers Lenovo has already installed. My heart goes out to everyone who experiences problems with the Widows 10 "upgrade". Like most people here I spend the extra money on a brand that I trust expecting things to work. It surprises me that a device that uses specific hardware in a set configuration doesn't get extensively tested by the parent company. Instead it would seem that people are just expected to spend a lot of their own time dealing with the problems when they occur. It makes it hard not to go back to Apple or to even recommend Lenovo products.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit upgrade to Windows 8 Pro RTM 64bit hangs

    I am trying to upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on a Dell Alienware Aurora R3 desktop PC via DVD to Windows 8 Pro 64bit (RTM) and it freezes on the Windows Splash Screen after the installation and then after the restart. It looks like it has put the PC into
    standby mode with the Windows logo frozen on one screen, however I cannot get PC out of 'sleep or hibernate mode' which is what it looks like it's done (flashing yellow Alienware logo).
    When it happened the first time I had to manually shut it down and then restart it as the Win8 installation just stalled. After restart it said Windows 8 installation has failed and it successfully rolled back to my instance of Windows 7. I've
    tried it again and it's done the same thing.
    This is very frustrating as I did a clean install of Windows 8 Pro 64bit (RTM) on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z46GD laptop with no problems.
    I have an Alienware Aurora R3 (only 8 months old):
    Intel Core i7-2600K
    8GB RAM
    1.5GB Nvidia GeoForce GTX580

    Just thought the Win 8 upgrade would be easy so long after launch but I am getting all of the above! I have done the following:-
    Disable options: XD-Bit Capability, Intel SpeedStep Technology and Intel
    C-state Tech.

  • Help Needed :- Upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on W540

    I have tried repeatidly to upgrade to Windows 81 from windows 8 and it fails I get the driver power state failure error and error codes 0xc1900101 0x40017 .
    After 4 failures , i deleted drivers for Prinfing (pdf / printer drivers etc )  and some others i didn't note tried to do the install and it worked, except the first time i rebooted after logging in , it would not boot into windows 8,1 driver it came up with the driver error messages again and i was given the option to reset to factory defaults and i did.
    After restoring to factory defaults i tried the upgrade and it failed again.
    So can you help me , in how do i upgrade to 8.1

    "I bought a ThinkCentre M83 which had a downgraded windows licence (windows 8.1 pro downgraded to windows 7 professional)." -
    "... Now you want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 that was originally offered when you purchased the computer.  The only way that I am aware of that would be possible is to purchase a retail version of the newer operating system. "
    I would say either you did not understand it well / or you gave the wrong info. If Lenovo Think(Pad/Centre) has Windows 7 Pro downgrade preload (but Win 8 / 8.1 Pro licence):
    - user gets media for Windows 8/8.1 Pro included with your Think(Pad/Centre) (I think until December)
    - or now you must order it here (free if entitled)

  • Touchsmart 600-1120 successfully upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

    I just wanted to report my Touchsmart 600-1120 (BK139AA) was successfully upgraded from Win7 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and I haven't run into any issues.   Here are the steps I went though.
    1. Made disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore.
    2. Ran the Windows 8 advisor tool to have a record the computer passes minimum requirements and I had a list of what apps will no longer work. I did go ahead and removed all of them. I never did use those apps much anyways.
    3. Ordered Windows 8 Pro upgrade DVD from Amazon.  I potentially had multiple computers to upgrade, and wanted the DVD.  Requested the free product key to unlock the Media Center add-on pack and received it in two days via email.
    4. Made another disk image backup using Win7 Backup and Restore in the event a Win7 restore is needed.
    5. Ready to upgrade.  Inserted the 64 bit DVD, nothing happened.  Manually launched Startup.exe on the DVD.
    6. Selected option to upgrade Win7, keeping all docs and preferences and let it go.  Took an hour or so, I didn't keep track.  Rebooted a couple of times and responded to any prompts for info.  When I received the logon screen for the first time, I ejected the upgrade DVD.
    7. When I logged in for the first time, I had no issues with the touch driver.  The touch was very reponsive.  Played around for a while exploring a bit.  It's actually lots of fun.  I've never been exposed to an ipad or tablet, so this was the first time I've experienced a "tabletized" interface for lack of a better term.
    8. Followed the instructions in the email to install and unlock the Media Center pack.  It took a while to add the software.  My only concern was if the AVerMedia TV card (A327) would work.  After the install there was the normal Media Center icon shown on the app tiles.  Launched it and had go through the process of setting up the TV tuner.  Once it found the tuner card (yea!) I told it to use the existing preferences for channels and such and it worked like it did in Win7.
    Launched Windows Update and it found a few things to update.  I played around for a couple of hours to get familiar with the new interface, and how to display the old Win 7 desktop.  It took me a while to figure out how to make an image backup.  I had another computer handy with internet access and it was quicker to google to find answers to my questions.  One of which is the option to use the familiar Win 7 backup and restore, so I made a new disk image with the new OS and stored it away.
    I have this computer on the kitchen counter and use it mainly for TV watching while cooking and occasional recipe lookups.  In the Windows store, there are some free recipe apps, like allrecipes.com.  I installed a bunch of the free recipe and news apps.  I don't know if I'd use the touch screen on a regular basis, although it is nice to have, it leaves lots of fingerprints, particuarily in a kitchen environment.
    I'm very relieved I didn't run into hoops I had to jump thorough considering reading about Win8 upgrade issues others have experienced.

    Hello, I was also able to go to Windows 8Pro, but have been unsuccessful trying to go to 8.1 or to 10, great PC feel I will need to restore it back to Windows 7. Have you been able to at least get it up to Windows 8.1? Thanks

  • Premiere Pro CS3: Many Problems Fixed By Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I recently installed an SSD drive and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
    Installing the Adobe Master Collection CS3 went smoothly and only took a few minutes instead of an hour, as in the past.
    Premiere, for the first time in the years I've used it, runs STABLE. Not only that, but I can have AfterEffects open at the same time. And Maya 2008. And everything chugs along smoothly.
    Case in point tonight: Multicam Editor: Under XP, it worked, but the quality of the video displays would be badly pixellated when video was playing. Under Windows 7, all the four viewports plus the 'online' viewport are sharp and clear and I can see if a camera is slightly out of focus, which was impossible to detect in the past until I watched the finished result.
    The audio dropouts everyone complained about for years are a thing of the past.
    And here's the biggie: I can render, render, render and keep rendering h.264 files and Premiere keeps ticking. Under XP, 2 to 3 files and that's it. Unknown Error would be the next render result. Under W7-64, I rendered all night and day without shutting or restarting Premiere, and I even had Maya and AE going and was working in them at the same time, something I could never do in XP because it would run out of RAM. And I can do this in 4GB ram! With 8GB, AE renders 3.5X faster, but most other programs remain about the same. I figure in the case of AE, it has EXCLUSIVE use of 4GB ram all to itself on an 8GB system. At any rate, die-hard CS3 users, don't be afraid to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
    The only thing you need to do differently is put the Postscript fonts in Adobe's fonts folder, as it won't see the Windows\Fonts-located PS fonts.
    My 2008-vintage editing workstation breaths new life, like a major hardware upgrade was done. The "$139 system performance upgrade" I call it. (Sure, adding the Intel 320 SSD helps, but mainly with launching programs--once they're running, the main improvement comes from Windows 7 64-bit.)

    Actually, Win8 is really not a tablet OS... it is "essentially" Win7 with a different front end http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1101032
    Anything other than a new Win8 "app" runs on the same kind of desktop you see with Win7
