From Vista Business to Windows 7

HI,
Is the ThinkVantage softwware included in the Windows 7 CD offered by Lenovo? Is this CD a recovery CD?
Thanks.

Is it not available on the website under support?

It doesn't say it supports windows 7 but it's worth a go. All my HP software runs fine in windows 7. I have yet to upgrade my Thinkpad though.

  • Going from Vista 64 to Window 8.  need serious instructions on how to proceed.

    Computer is braking down so I`m thinking of going from Vista 64 to Windows 8 and I have no idea on how to proceed.
      Can`t afford an Apple.   

    Of course you can start over. New computer, new software, new beginning. But if you do that then you will have to start all over importing your images and making the adjustments that you have already done once. You said you have been creating catalogs (plural). If you have just one catalog, and have all your images inside of one main folder (you can have as many subfolders as you want) then switching to a new computer is simple. Put the catalog on the new computer, make sure your external hard drive has the same letter designation, install Lightroom, enter the serial number, and you should be good to go. It worked that way for me. But if you insist on starting over, just install Lightroom, enter your serial number, and go to work.

  • Re: Upgrade from Vista 32bit to Windows 7

    Dear Sirs
    I need your support that how will I upgrade to 32bit Windows 7 from Vista.
    Regards.

    I must confess from the get-go that my knowledge of the finer points of computers in general is limited, but I've heard that 64-bit is the way to go. I bought my system from Dell about 12 months ago. Since I didn't build it, I can't tell you what mother board I've got (Dell refuses to easily divulge that bit of info and it's kind of a huge problem), but I do know:
    Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 GhZ
    4 GB DDR2 800
    Radeon HD 3870 512 MB
    W/ Vista Ultimate 32-bit
    So, my question is can I buy an upgrade kit to go from Vista 32 to Windows 7 64 or will I need to straight buy Windows 7 64 bit and install it? Will I need to update the BIOS? Is casual gaming, photo and video editing and HD video viewing even worth 64-bit? Again, since I don't know what mobo I have, all this may be for nothing because the board may not do 64-bit..

  • Oracle 10g Client not working from Vista Business

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle 10g Rel2 DB on my desktop (OS Vista Ultimate X64 bit) and try to connect from my new laptop (OS Vista business) after installing the client software which does not work, whereas I am able to connect to same database from my other laptop using Windows XP. The tnsnames.ora files on both laptops have the same contents. Moreover, the SQL Plus is also not working on the vista laptop, I mean when I try to login the window closes down itself it doesn't stay open even to give any error message. . . Any ideas would be a great help . . .thx

    Did you install the Vista specific Oracle client?

  • Trying to Home share an itunes library from Vista laptop to Windows 8 laptop

    Alright, so both laptops have been setup the same, home sharing turned on, exact same apple id and password. Both computers can see each other in the dropdown menu for "library",  HOWEVER, while the Vista laptop can see & import the library from the Windows 8 laptop, then Windows 8 laptop cannot see & therefore not import the library from the Vista laptop & out of the system without issue, the router has been checked to ensure that nothing is standing in the way on that end either. Is this some sort of backwards incompatibility? Or am I overlooking something  obscenely obvious? Any and all help is welcome, I have looked at a large number of discussions here and throughout the web already, nothing seems to work for my situation. Please help!!!

    Hello there MicknMadd,
    It sounds like one of your computers can see the others library and import from it, but the other does not. You've done a lot of great troubleshooting and verification already, and I would recommend steps 5-7 from the following article to help further troubleshoot:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    5. Check Firewall settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
    6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
    If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device.
    Note that Home Sharing cannot transfer or stream audiobook content purchased from Audible.com. See Audible.com for information on using their content with multiple devices.
    7. Restart your network router
    Restart your home network router using the method recommended in documentation from the manufacturer. This may include disconnecting the power cord for thirty seconds or more.
    Note: During this period, Internet services such as a VoIP-based phone will not work, and any additional routers may need to be reset in sequence.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • During migration of Firefox from Vista computer to windows 7 computer, personal profile was lost and I don't know how to restore it - Profile wizard finds no pr

    When data were transferred from my vista computer to the new windows 7 computer, the profile on firefox was not transferred to the new computer. Because the profile wasn't transferred, profile manager or just typing in the default location don't give a result. All the info on the mozilla web site that I've looked at dealing with profiles don't seem to work. I can probably retrieve and make a copy of the profile from the old computer, but how do I find out where to put it on the new one??

  • Unable to Upgrade X60 Table to Win7 from Vista Business

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor states that Lenovo Utilities is a Known Issue. I have been unable to find any specifics on how to clear this problem.
    When I attempt to actually perform the Upgrade to Win7 Professional, I am stopped with the statement that I must remove the ThinkPad Tablet Button Driver CoInstaller - unfortunately, I cannot find any way of accomplishing that.
    Does anyone have any ideas??  Lenovo Tech Support was less than helpful and recommended I simply perform a clean install.

    Before you upgrade to vista, first make sure you make recovery disks in XP incase you ever need to go back to XP. This should be in the Thinkvantage folder in the start menu.
    Your recovery disks should have came with 3 for Vista. One is a bootable Rescue and Recovery disk that starts the process. The second disk is the OS itself and the third disk is the applications/drivers/lenovo preinstall stuff. If you don't have all three disks, give support a call. 
    If you do have the three disks, inset the R&R disk and go from there. If that still isn't working, go into your BIOS and make sure your optical drive is listed at a higher boot order than your HDD.

  • Z61p - I want to downgrade to WinXP from Vista Business

        I ordered Vista on an Z61p.  I want to downgrade.   Can someone tell me the steps... for getting the CDs to do this from Lenovo and then any gotcha's.  Where do I call,  what's the cost?  etc. My machine is out of warranty - h/w..  Thank you.

    Hi
    I went through this process and stopped having difficulties after setting the computer BIOS option for the hard drive to "compatible mode".  Apparently my XP installation CD was not supporting the SATA type hard drive and even gave me a Windows blue screen error until that setting was modified.
    I wasted following the instructions found on the Net to add the XP SATA drivers onto a new copy of the XP installation CD.  Stopped mid-way when reading that changing that BIOS option was enough.
    All the XP drivers you need are easily downloadable from the Lenovo web site.
    Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have specific questions.  Good luck !

  • Missing Drivers - Downgraded from Vista Home to Windows XP Pro SP3 - Lenovo 3000 N100 Notebook

    Hey,
    I have a lenovo 3000 N100 as well and recently downgraded to Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.
    However, I have a lot of hardware drivers missing (yellow question mark) - 
    1) Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    2) Base System Device (listed thrice so I'm guessing there are three separate drivers needed)
    3)Network Controller
    4) Video Controller
    5) Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
    I have no audio or wireless either. Lastly, I have spoken to lenovo and they asked me to download some drivers from lenovo.com. I did and also downloaded every possible driver for XP on the lenovo site but still had no luck.
    I would really appreciate any help/guidance you can offer. I have exausted all resources at this point.
    My email is xxxxxxxxxxxxx so feel free to reach out to me there as well.
    Thanks a ton.

  • Upgrade to Win. 7 or downgrade to Win. XP from Vista Business.......

    T60p 8743-GZU.  I have purchased a 250GB 5400 RPM HARD DRIVE and a SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE BAY ADAPTER so I can use the 120GB for backup. What would be a better choice, Win. 7 or XP? This is just a travel Laptop, e-mail, web browsing, nothing very important. Anyone?

    If your thinking of getting a retail version go for Windows 7- much better and secure for your web browsing needs.

  • Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

    My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
    I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
    Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
    Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:

    2. From a command prompt, issue this command:  ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

  • Upgrade to Win 7 (64bit) from Vista 32 - Not enough H Disk space after running Windows easy transfer

    Hello all!
    I upgraded from Vista 32 to Windows 7(64bit) using the custom install as per instruction found on Lenovo and the upgrade has gone well.  My machine is running much better and faster now.  However, I tried to transfer my files with easy transfer and I have run out of room on the HD.  After the install, my C drive had about 35 Gigs with no other programs installed except for Win 7.  This seems to be too much memory used for win 7 OS.  I am thinking that other data like past restore data may be taking up a lot of room?  Also my Easy transfer file is 79 gigs which also appears to large of a file.  I have not been able to use Easy Transfer because of lack of drive space.  Can I reformat my HD and run a new win 7 install from the Win 7 upgrade software CD?
    Thanks in advance?
