Reinstall Vista Home over XP PRO SP3. XP Pro SP3 was installed over Vista

MY Dell Inspion originally had Vista Home Basic 32 bit installed.
At my request vendor installed XP PRO.
Subsequently updated XP Pro to SP3.
As you know, XP Pro support has ended.
Have Re-installation DVD for Vista Home 32 bit.
Question: May I reinstall Vista Home without having to perform a CLEAN Install. IF yes, please give me definitive step-by-step instructions. IF no, need ALL the specifics so may replace XP Pro with
Vista Home.
Thank you for your time and assistance. fecv

As recommended by Microsoft You have to go through a clean installation.

Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

How to reinstall photoshop elements 12 English version on Mac . Maverick was installed yesterday.

How do I reinstall elements 12 english version on Mac. Maverick was installed yesterday. I can't find the link to download it again. I have the codes/serial number

Try downloading in a different browser if possible.
Or you could try this download link but you need to be logged-in to the server or access will be denied. Follow the important instructions and link before starting the download. It can be slow but usually works.

I would like to completely remove itunes from my windows 7 computer. How do I do it so that when I reinstall itunes, it will be like the first time it was installed?

Hello.
I am having an issue with iTunes seeing my music on my server because when I directed iTunes to the location of my music folder it installed an iTumes folder and doubled up size of the music in the folder causing an issue with the amount of space left on the HDD. I was unaware that iTunes did this and would like to start all over again but have the iTunes folder on a different HDD from the HDD with the music on it.
Am I asking for something that is not able to be accomplished or is there a way to do this?
I am unable to keep the music on my laptop because the HDD is setup in a triple boot(XP, Vista, Win7) and each partition has less than 50GB of space left in it and I have alot more music than I have space.
I have readjusted the files on my server as I used to share some of my documents on the HDD where the music was located but there still is an issue with space once iTunes doubles up the files. I have a HDD attached to the server specifically for iTunes once I get this issue solved with more than enough space.
I would like to get this issue solved so that I can install iTunes on my identity on my wife's computer and want to be able to direct iTunes to the locations of files and folders without any conflicts.

WIndows Vista Home Premiun 64Bits + MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2007 ( 2.4 Ghz )

Hi all,
i have a MacBook pro, ( MacBookPro3,1 ) with bootrom version MBP31.0070.B07. It is the Mid 2007 model, with 4 GB Ram. I want to install Windows for gaming purposes and i was wondering, since the documentation in the Boot Camp Support seems to be mixed, Could i install Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bits OEM, or do i need to install the 32 Bit version ? the documentation seem to suggest that the boot camp 2.1 download will offer supoort for Vista 64bits. Please help me decide what best to do here.
Thanks in advance,
Luis R. Rojas

You need 64-bit if you want to use more than 2GB RAM.

Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?

Sap b1 setup failed on Windows Vista -Home edition

Hi experts,
I installed SQL-2005 on windows vista home edition and also installed SAP B1-2007B-PL09 but it shows error connection with License server failed and SAP B1 service manager-License Manager 2007 are also disable .so my question is it SAP b1 support Windows vista-home edition.pl suggest me solution.
Regards,
Sudhir pawar

Sudhir,
Windows Vista home edition is not a supported Operating system.
That being said, the reason that your license manager is not enabled is more than likely not due to this fact.
Close the server tools, and relaunch but this time right-click and 'run as administrator' this should enable all the options and allow the license server to start.
You may also want to view the system requirements PDF available in the SAP B1 document resource center, this should give you some insight into supported platforms.
I hope this helps,
Lucas

Raja,
According to the PAM (Product Availability Matrix from SAP - http://service.sap.com/pam ) XI and PI are not released on Vista anything. I wouldn't expect them to be available on this platform. Potentially 7.1 may have something available that will work but it will not run on 2Gb of RAM as PI now requires at least 4Gb to run as a Dual-Stack (ABAP and Java).
You can use Linux (RedHad and Suse) as a Dual-Boot solution but the memory will still be an issue as it is standard to allow 1Gb to HEAP in Java, you still have the Db Buffers and a Unicode ABAP Stack.
If this solution has answered your question, please set the thread to answered.

NWM 4.9.8225.pure0, d-link wbr2310, windows vista home on Compaq LT presario cq60

ok here goes...
I use cable to conect to the internet. modem: motorola SB5120
I use a D link WBR 2310 Rev A1 with firmnware 1.0.5 (per thier site the most up to date 9/08)
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=470
(all components but the items below do not have an issue Eg: 2 desktops [1 wired 1 wireless] 1 wireless printer HP C390A, 2 cellular phones, 1 hp LT with vista)
the problem computers are botrh wireless compaq Lts Presario CQ60 (new.. runnig vista home ed. I fully updated the problem was present pior to updates) they come with Nortons internet security and have the windows firewall...
they use a built in Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g adaptor driver ver. 7.7.0.199
I have Avira antivir personal on both (the issue was presnet before istallation)
I am on the west coast of the USA
ok in short each day when I want to boot up the LTs they will only get limited conection to the network. after hitting repair connection nothing will change(*). I then unplug the router wait the ten seconds and repair connection and all is good.. until... (and I have run some tests)..if the LTs are connected to the network prior to 12:00 AM they will stay connected untill such time as they are shut down. Once shut down, if they are booted up the network is lost, repair wont work and I have to unplug the router again...
in short every day I have to unplug the router for NWM to sync up...
Now if I get one LT on the network (by following the unplugging of roputer above) and later deside to get the second up and runnig I have to unplug the router again... this will cause the first lt to loss connectioin as such I set it up so that both Lts need to go have the roouter unplugged to repair the connection...
* when I stated nothing happens, for example when the other items on the network need to have the connection repaired you can see on the network map the connection Xing out and moving and changing as the repair is underway and items being reset...
in the case of these laptops the Red X only shows on the LT side and does not move or change at all on the map durring the repair process...
for added info.. I have verified both windows firewall and Nortons have exceptions for:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmsrvc.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmapp.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmctxth.exe"
I also added:
C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\nmapp.exe
and I think the other was
C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\Network Magic\Support\nmsprt.exe
any help would be great... as this is getting anoying....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

to date nothing has worked.. compaq/hp have suggested I restore the system... I myself think it is crazy since I have two laptops and one I have only installed 3 items..
1. the printer software...
2. anti virus
3. NWM
other then that it is a clean system...
even then on my other laptop I have only installed maybe 2-3 other programs...
for the restore of the first system...
I am leaving it clean for a few days...
in that I mean I will utilize windows for the wireless connnection to my network...
and I will forgo the anti virus installation and printer installation....
I will get all thee windows updates and compaq updates but I will try to install them one at atime to see if there is any problems
one thing I did nottice on the laptops....
when the systems were booted up in the moring, the network map would show items that were connnected the night before, but not on/connected in the am...
as if the NWM or the system was not refreshing the network status and updating...
also windows firewall and defender would be turned off.... and would need to be turned back on....
Ill keep you posted.... on the clean system...

Flex Builder 3 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Has anyone tried Flex Builder 3 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit? Does it work? I see Vista is supported but the requirements page says nothing specifically about Flex Builder on 64-bit Vista.
I also see some older questions on the topic in the forums, but nothing recent and no complete answers.

other Vista/FB users I've talked to feel the same
Well that's always an easy one..
I talked to a million FB/Vista users and they all say it's blazing fast..
See how easy that is?
I suggest you look into optimizing your system and/or look at what might be causing this.
But all I can say is FB3 sure isn't slow.
I'm surprised it runs decent for you
Well, I'm surprised you're surpised
I still have to see a MAC outperform anything compared to my PC.

T500, from Vista Home 32bit to Windows 7 64bit

Hi All,
Wanted to know if anyone can help me with upgrading my vista home 32bit to windows 7 64bit? My t500 shipped with vista home 32, and I have a windows 7 64bit install cd.
my first instint is to just do a straight upgrade, pop in the windows 7 cd, and go from there. Is that the best way? Or should I do a clean install, format and find drivers. I heard Lenovo doesn't have much bloatware, and that going the upgrade route would be fine.
has anyone tried this yet?
Thanks!

You can't upgrade a Win 32bit OS to 64bit one.
Best to back-up all your stuff (like to a network drive on another computer), boot the computer from the CD and format all your disks when prompted where you wish to install windows.
Most drivers will be avalible off Windows Update only specific ones like the hard drive protection drivers need be aquired from lenovo.

It is actually more simple than iTunes lets u believe.
If you just download an older version of iTunes, most likly the one u had before u updated ur computer, that should fix it and then you can update ur ipod and then get the newer version of iTunes.
Thats what i had to do when i got that exact same error just a few months ago.
If that dont work let me know.

Downgrade From Windows Vista Home to Windows XP Pro Dutch on Satellite P200-15N

Not knowing where I really should put this .. I put it in this forum part too :)
So :
Hello,
I bought a new laptop with Vista Home and two Partitions... I would like to install on the Second partition "Windows XP pro" (with official key & SP2 included) !! But when I run the XP Cd I get an error that the HD is not recognized ... So I searched on the forum here to see if there's a possibility to passby it..
So What I did :
1) I download the "Intel Storage Drivers" from ->
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21
2) Than I used the Floppy Maker, to make a floppy with the needed drivers (also on the above site)
3) I downloaded a freeware copy of "Nlite"
4) I also downloaded extra drivers from the "Toshiba" Website itself (Lan, Storage, ...)
5) I Made a map "Xp Pro P200-15N" and put all the drivers into it .. Including the Exe I downloaded from the above link Named "iata76_cd.exe"..
6) I made a new bootable Win XP CD with "Nlite" & added all the drivers I've downloaded and followed the given procedure by "Nlite". It made a new bootable CD (with all drivers and .exe's and .inf's, etc...)
7) Then I boot my laptop with the CD, but it still give an error on the sata-drives .. (that It can't be found) ..
So my question is .. What am i doing wrong and what other Drivers should I download to make it work ?? I've got an external USB-Floppy Drive.. If additional Drivers should be added ... So I hope there Is someone Ho can help it..
I install XP for business reasons .. Stuff that the Vista Home can't handle ...
Hope I got a respons soon .. Cz it's like really URGENT..
thx in advance and excuse me if there are errors in my writing (I still Am From Belgium )
*** UPDATE ***
The above method didn't work for me .. So took my USB-Floppy drive and put the drivers on it (hit "F6" on the startup, added the drivers found on the above link, he installed it)...
Then I was able too choose a partition ...
So far everything ok ... It asked me if wanted to format or not .. I said ok ..
Then When he wanted to start copying, I got :
Insert the CD-rom or Floppy with the name
Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
In station A:
* Press ENTER when Ready ...
And know I don't know what I have to do .. Cz hitting enter doesn't do thing :s
So what Am I doing wrong it's getting really ANNOYING and frustrating ... I did everything they said in the link, did the method with f6, but still now reaction :s .. Anyone ???
Kindly Regards,
Frederic

Hi,
Knowing I went trough a lot of trouble installing my Windows XP on my P200, i'll show you how I did it :) (Cz you need the SATA drivers to have a good install)
1) First of all you need a legal copy of your "Windows XP" OS
2) Go to -> http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21 and download the drivers.
3) Download "nlite" and run the programm
4) Nlite will ask you to insert a working copy of "Windows XP", there after it'll ask you a folder where the new Updated XP should be installed (create one like "My P200 Win XP"..), then add only the driver that you need for you SATA drive and burn the new XP
5) Normally after that, you'll be able choosing a partition and install Windows XP together with "Vista"..
6) Install all the needed drivers on XP (don't worry if you can't choose your old VISTA)
7) After you installed, if you would like a "DUAL Boot" with Vista you have to install VistaBootPRO to install a correct Bootloader
8) After that go on VISTA and install "EASYbcd", you'll have to assign XP the correct Drive letter (you can change the name from "older version" to "windows XP".
9) Normally you'll be able booting XP and VISTA
But now, i'm still searching how to make my sound work ..
Sorry for my bad english :p I'm dutch-speaking
Hope this little tutorial will help some people who are having the same problems as I did

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.
