From VIsta to Windows XP?

Hello,
I just reformatted my hard drive by putting in Windows XP cd and booted from CD!
My laptop came with Vista .
Everything went smooth, no issues. But now i can get my wireless to work. I downloaded all the drivers i saw from here.Still can't figure out why my wireless is not working.
If anyone can explain , i would really appreciated.
Another issue, when I move open windows on my desktop it takes forever also if i scroll up and down, it takes few seconds, it looks like a new frame every time i try to scroll up or down or switch from one screen to another. 
Please guys if you know any solution let me know!
Than you so much.
Stacy

Hi russki,
What is 7 letter product number of your N100? e.g. like 2668-KHU. I ask because N100 can come with either one of three given wireless cards from different manufacturers/ with distinct model:-
Broadcom Wireless:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63623
Intel Wireless:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63666
Intel 3945abg wireless:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66522
Hope it helps.

IdeaPad: U350
Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]

  • I have recently upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. All my music is on a windows file, how do I move it to i tunes library

    I have recently upgraded my laptop operating system from Vista to Windows 7. i tunes is asking me to sync my i pod, because it is recognising the Vista laptop and not the Windows 7. All my music has gone from i tunes library but it is all stored in Windows music folder(s). How can I move it all to my i tunes library?

    So your iTunes library is now empty after the upgrade?
    Simply drag the one folder (containing all of your music) into your new empty iTunes library or choose File -> Add to Library in iTunes.
    Otherwise, if they aren't all in one folder, you'll have to drag each seperate one into iTunes.

  • I upgraded my computer from vista to windows 7, losing my itunes library in the process - how can I sync my current itunes with my ipod?

    I upgraded my computer system from vista to windows 7 losing my authorized itunes in the process - I cannot sync my ipod now without losing everything on it.  Is there a solution for this?

    At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
    A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
    If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
    If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
    When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

  • HT1351 I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I saved my iTunes on external hard drive and reinstalled them.  My iTunes no longer recognizes my device - a 5th gen. iPod. I can's synch

    I upgraded my Dell computer from Vista to Windows 7.  I saved my iTunes library on an external hard drive.  I somehow managed to erase them from my iPod.  Now my songs won't play on the Dell and my iPod is not "recognized" as a device by my computer.  I have "reset" the iPod by toggling the lock and holding down the menu and center button at once, but still no luck.  How can I get my songs from my Dell back to my iPod?

  • I changed laptops and went from Vista to Windows 8. It requires icloud. I did icloud setup but it will not allow me access and wants to give me a new password. That is OK but it will not send me the promised password

    This has been posted for almost 2 weeks and not one reply. Thanks a bunch! As a newbie to OOo and Mozilla, I am not impressed with responsiveness to support needs with either. So, the future of my new experiment with going non-Microsoft remains an open question.
    Oddly enough, the problem mysteriously went away. I have followed the same routine and changed no settings. Suddenly all of the downloaded spreadsheets were no longer read-only. So I consider the matter resolved.

  • Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
    Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
    Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

  • How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

    I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
    I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

    Hi
    Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
    Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
    If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

  • Why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? I have just switched from Vista to Windows 7.

    I 'upgraded' from Vista to Windows 7 and now iTunes won't recognize my phone or iPad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes; I have gone into device manager to check that the drivers for the phone are up-to-date and, apparently, they are. Still nothing. HELP! please....

    Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.

    are ther problems upgrading iTunes from Vista to Windows 7?

    The best method is to use Windows Easy Transfer first to backup all your data, and do custom clean install. And install all your apps and drivers afterwards.
    Yes it should work. Make sure you are ready, and have all the latest drivers and applications ahead of time.
    There are some "gottchas" with the upgrade from Vista.
