I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also create a JSON backup:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.

I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

I have a windows laptop with Vista Home Basic and need to use windows for course work. How can I get it onto my Mac as I have no disks. Laptop arrived with Vista pre-loaded.
Thanks

As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
Paragon works
So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
But why pop into someone's thread.

Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
Suggestions...instructions?
Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

INSTALLING ORACLE APPS 12X ON VISTA HOME BASIC

ive been spending too much time struggling to newly install oracle R12x on windows vista home basic on my laptop HP 4GB RAM but in vain. I successfully installed VMWARE but i cant get it launched, the IE fails to start from there i really dont know whats wrong. Can somebody pls help with the step-step process how to install this apps on the mentioned platform..appreciated in advance.

I tried several times with windows desktop vista as host with vmware as guest operating system but in vain i gave up. What is the guest OS? Is it a supported OS? If not, do not expect the installation to run successfully.
also i dont have account-access to metalink so pls dont refer me there since its not free. Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating...appreciated in advance.Without having access to MOS docs, do not expect to get the complete steps. Plus, we cannot post the contents of MOS docs since this violates Oracle Support agreement policy.
I am not sure what do you mean by "Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating" but I should mention few things here.
- All the replies above are helpful, but you insist to use unsupported OS (you are wasting your time and ours by doing this)
- If you did install a supported OS, please mention the OS along with the complete error message
- You do not have access to MOS website, which is a must for anyone who wants to do Oracle EBS installation
- What does "not sure" mean in your line? We do not fill-up any space with unnecessary messages (I agree sometime people do, but NOT in this thread)
- If you really need help, then you better review your replies and respect that you are getting help from people who volunteer to do so without getting any credit in return
Thanks,
Hussein

I just installed Creative Suite 6 and want to know if I can uninstall versions 5 and 5.5

I just installed Creative Suite 6 and want to know if I can uninstall versions 5 and 5.5

Adobe upgrade installers are always full installers and do not need to find a previous version installed. If they don't , they just prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.
That being said, if you plan to uninstall older versions, the time to do so is BEFORE you install the newer version. The problem is that when you run the uninstaller for each older version, they will in turn mess with the newer installation iof already present. There are just too many similarly named files in similar locations for each version.
If you already have CS6 installed, running the CS5 and CS5.5 uninstaller will mess with your existing CS6 installation.
At this point, you're better off uninstalling all three versions, running the Adobe CS Cleaner and then re-installing CS6 from scratch.
I know, it sounds like a pain—and it is—but it will save you a lot of grief later on.

Can we install Oracle 10g on Vista Home Basic Edition

Hi,
Please suggest me weather Oracle 10g is suitable in Window Vista Home Basic OS
or should I replace it with window XP

Dear UG!
It depends on what you want to do with your Oracle database. If it's only for developing and testing purposes then you might use Windows XP or Windows Vista. I would personally suggest you to use Windows XP because you need a special version of Oracle 10g for Windows Vista but if you plan to deploy an Oracle application on MS Server 2008 with Vista clients then you should use Windows Vista.
I don't know if this is really helpful but I hope so.
Yours sincerely
Florian W.

I have lost the purchased downloaded files to install Photoshop Elements 10 and need to obtain them again so I can reinstall the program and continue my use of it. How can I do this?
Thanks,

You should be able to re-download the PSE10 downloadable-installer from your Adobe account, if you log in to that—I’ve only ever purchased DVDs so cannot give you click-by-click instructions. Here is what an Adobe-chat rep just told me:
“If you purchase the download version product you may re download the product from you Adobe account. If you purchase the DVD version and somehow you lost your DVD we can provide trial download link depends on the situation. we are able to provide you the download link if the download link is available on Adobe server.”
If you have an issue figuring out what to do, then you can start up your own chat session by clicking the Chat Now button on the bottom of this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/download-install-trials.html
They will probably want to know things about your purchase including your serial number so be ready with that if you do start a chat session.

Need Help upgrading IQ816t Touchscreen from Vista Home Prem to Win7 Ult

I purchased (eBAY) 25" IQ816t with Vista Home Prem, and seller provided Win7 Ult AIO disk with the deal. Seller reset to base OS prior to shipping to me. Everything works fine w/Vista.
When trying to run the AIO disk, using UPGRADE mode, I get conflicting message(s)...you can not upgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit;...and you can not upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. What gives? I am doing something wrong?
Seller firm in that they had Win7 Ult running fine and that the AIO disk should work fine.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

I have the same model you have. Our model is Vista 64, so if you are trying to upgrade, you can only upgrade to Win 7 64, and it sounds like you got a Win 7 32 disc. See if it will let you do a full install of it and not an upgrade, if it won't, you need to get the Win7 64 disc for this.

Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

Hi,
for the obvious:
After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
All drivers needed are on that DVD.
regards
Stefan

Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
"Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
My questions:
If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, good to know. I still need to know whether I can get Levono to ship my machine with the configuration I've selected, only with Vista Basic 64-bit
SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

what would be most cost-effective would also be appreciated.
Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

MINI SAP on Windows Vista Home Basic

Hi,
I'm trying to install the MINI SAP CD in the Windows Vista Home Basic, but I'm not getting success. I made download of Virtual Microsoft PC but for the version Home Basic, it doesn't have function. Somebody could help me please ?

According to note 1040931 you need the following kernel versions to make it work:
SAP Kernel 6.40:
      DW-Package (183):    operating system version check
      J2EE-Package (n.a.): operating system version check
      NTCLUST.SAR (n.a.): crashes in MMC and Resource Monitor
      SAPINST (n.a.):      installation support on Windows Server 2008
Note that SAP does not yet fully support these operating systems.
