Satellite P305-S8997E: Cannot upgrade to Win7 64bit - error: Your System Is Not Applicable To Upgrade

Hi everyone.
I have the Toshiba Upgrade Disc for Windows 7 Home Premium as I am currently running Vista Home Premium 64bit.
I do choose the 64bit upgrade version path with the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant.
However, I get knocked out with the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant dialogue box saying "Your system is not applicable to upgrade. You can refer Windows 7 upgrade information http://www.csdsupport.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/windows7upgrade/" after it checks out the first 4 criteria as being correct.
Any help would be appreciated.
I did buy my notebook from the USA but live in Australia. However, I was able to order the Windows 7 upgrade disk from Australia when I arranged for my model notebook to be added to the eligible upgrades on the Website.
For general information, I was able to get a hold of a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit full version disk. From this, I chose Windows 7 Home Premium as the version I purchased.
I used my Product Key from my Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Disc and chose the upgrade version.
There were 3 applications from memory which were incompatible with Windows 7 so I uninstalled them and used the Toshiba Windows 7 Driver updates to install what I could. It all works fine and MS update naturally recognises the key as genuine.
However, all this defeats the purpose of why I can't upgrade from the upgrade disc.
Thanks.

Hi
Did you use the Toshiba preinstalled Vista OS before you used the Win 7 upgrade disk?
How about a clean install? This should be possible as well the Win 7 Toshiba drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page

  • RH9 - Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system

    Having just installed five seats of the TCS 3 upgrade on Laptops with Office 2010 previously installed, three of them are encountering errors when generating Printed Documentation.  RH9 throws up a error dialog - "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system"
    What is the fix to have RH9 recognize Office 2010?
    Thanks,
    W.

    No, the other two were using the right-click/Properties approach. When tried, the left click on "Printed Documentation" method did not find Word 2010.
    Yes these were upgrades, installed after uninstalling TCS2.  Adobe claims two versions can coexist on one drive, but I also agree that is not the case.
    It would appear to be a bona fide bug, but I can't believe Adobe would let something like this slip...

    I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.

    Where exactly did you get this phone?
    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    There are 2 primary causes for this.
    Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

  • Need help: Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system.

    I am having issues trying to generate a pdf from a robohelp 7 html project.  Whenever I try to generate a pdf I get the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system."
    I have tried to uninstall both Office (2003) and robohelp, re-installing office first and then robohelp, but it doesn't help.  Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

    Colum,
    Thanks for the reply, but it's Microsoft Office, not Open Office.
    I have read many threads here and tried most of the suggestions, up to and including:
    Uninstall/Reinstall of Office and RH 7
    Adjusting Macro security
    comparing registry entries
    There are others but I can't think of them all right now.  Point being, nothing has worked thus far.  I must admit this is fairly frustrating but I haven't given up yet.  Any more suggestions are welcome, and I will review the link you gave me just to make sure I cover all my bases.

  • Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system

    Hi,
    Wonder if anyone can help...
    I just tried to generate my printed documentation in RoboHelp
    and everytime I try I get the error message 'Cannot find Microsoft
    Word installed on your system'.
    It is installed, and when I go to Tools > Options >
    Tool Locations you can see it is pointing to the right location
    (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE).
    This is the first project I have done with RoboHelp 7.0 on
    Vista- does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    First, thanks to Wkugelman for this new initiative. I think
    we are a big step nearer, but not quite there yet.

    This happens to me on XP too, so there must be some other

    do
    1) Find WINWORD.EXE and create a shortcut to it on my
    desktop. I rename it to WINWORD.EXE
    2) In RH. Menu:Tools > Options > Tab:Tool Locations

    3) Select the line Word 2003 and click the Edit... button to
    change the path
    4) I get a popup called HTML Editor with Word 2003 grayed out
    above, and a path selector text box below.
    5) Now it doesn't matter whether I use the path browser icon
    and navigate to my new shortcut, or whether I enter the path
    manually. When I click OK I get a popup saying the path is invalid
    or I return to the HTML Editor popup but the path to Word has not
    changed (it remains C:\Program Files\Microsoft
    Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE ).
    Notes: It doesn't matter whether the path is on C:\ where
    Program Files (with Office11 And Adobe Robohelp 7 reside), or on
    D:\ where my "My Documents" directory is with subdirectory My
    Robohelp projects.
    I have also played around with the two radio buttons at the
    bottom of the Tool Locations tab:
    * Auto-select editor and
    * Use default editor
    But to no avail. Can someone explain what these options
    change?
    If protections on the OFFICE11 directory or Winword
    executable are the problem, wouldn't it be simpler to loosen these
    so that RH can use it?

  • Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system - RH10 - a solution

    I started receiving the error "Cannot find Microsoft Word Installed on your system" whenever I tried to generate printed documentation from RoboHelp 10. This occurred after I installed Open Office 3.4.1.
    Clicking the "Printed Documentation" option in the SSL pod generated the error. However, right-clicking on the "Printed Documentation" option, selecting "Properties", then clicking "Save and Generate" did work. Go figure.
    I am using Word 2007.
    All of these suggested solutions to resolve the problem didn't work, unfortunately.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Open Office with the correct option selected for file associations as suggested here:
    http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#other_issues
    Tried reinstalling the MPJ2DOC.DLL as suggested here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/error-cannot-find-microsoft-word.html
    Tried all the suggestions here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173839
    Spent 2 hours with Adobe support (they were helpful but could not fix the problem) uninstalling and reinstalling RoboHelp, including reinstalling and registering the dll again.
    Finally I fixed the problem by following the simple solution here. I found that the problem was that the Word file associations were corrupt and you simply need to reregister word.

    Here's the solution in case the  link does not work:
    How to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
    Article contributed by Cindy Meister
    If you find that Word files do not open in the desired version of Word when you double-click them in Windows Explorer, or that when opening them from the Desktop or Explorer, a series of messages appear claiming that the file cannot be opened, such as:
    “Cannot open C:\My”
    “Cannot open "Documents\The”
    “Cannot open "Test.doc"”
    .. you need to re-register Word.  To fix the problem:
    Word 97 and above
    Click Start | Run (bottom- left corner of your screen).
    In the “Open“ box, type:
    winword /rand press Enter. Note that there is a space before the forward slash
    Word 95
    Locate the file winword.reg on your system
    Double-click it to re-register Word
    Hope this helps anyone else who has struck this problem.
    Cheers Mark

    I am not surprised that the DLL is crashing your system. If you read the Knowledge Base item for that file it specifically refers to RoboHelp 9. Your first step is to restore the correct DLL for Rh10. I hope you backed it up.
    What is your operating system?
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
    Is your Normal.dot file on your local drive or on a network.
    Are you generating the printed document to your local drive?
    At what point does the generation crash?

  • Satellite U400-17R: Cannot find a Win7 upgrade offer on webpage

    I have a Satellite U400-17R model PC.
    Long ago i accessed the support page of my PC.
    At that time i could UPGRADE my Vista to a Windows 7 BUT at that time i didn`t have a valid "Credit Card/Visa".
    Now, i do have a valid Visa so i would like to get an Upgrade from Vista to 7.
    The problem is i can't find my support page nor the upgrade page.
    I'm willing to buy the 7 upgrade from" Toshiba".
    Can anyone help?
    Where can i buy a 7 upgrade from Toshiba?(ONLINE from their official MIDDLE EAST Website)
    Where can i find my support page?
    NOTES: I bought this U400 from a distributor of Toshiba in the MIDDLE EAST...

    Hi DarknessSx,
    I think the upgrade is finished now as Akuma wrote. This option was only available for a certain period and this time is over now.
    If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 you have to buy a copy from Microsoft. With this disk you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 too.

  • Satellite L870-19N - cannot upgrade to Win 8.1 - 0x800706BE - 0x2003

    My notebook runs a Windows 8 and I can not update to 8.1.
    I tried 3 times and the configuration process stops at 83% and then the Windows 8 is restored
    The "error" code is 0x800706BE - 0x2003
    Any help?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The Windows 8.1 upgrade could fail if installed Windows 8 system isnt up to date.
    I recommend you to check for available Win 8 updates (control panel -> system -> Windows update)
    You should start with Win 8.1 upgrade only when all patches for Win 8 would be installed

  • HP2610 cannot print -network - wired - cannot see printer - Win7 64bit

    In the solution center I get message that the system cannot see my HP Photosmart 2610.
    I can however ping the printer with no issues. I can also print if I use the USB connection.
    This has worked for a couple years without issue, this problem suddenly appeared.
    I have reconnected via usb and updated all drivers and updates.Restarted printer and computer,
    Ran hp diagnostics, cant find the printer
    If I try to print to the printer, it sends the print job, but queue shows printer error, and just prints blank pages. (tries to print and fails)  will keep doing this until it runs out of paper.
    I reconfigured the network settings, verified I can ping and print directly - still cant print over the network
    thanks for any insights or information you can provide.
    HP_BK

    I hope you are doing well; HP_BK 
    You tried most of the steps that I would advise;
    I will perhaps disable all security applications including WIN Firewall and try it again. uninstall the printer, Do this in safe mode and them install in safe mode.

  • Re: Satellite L750-1XH - cannot use preinstalled Win7 Home Premium

    On starting the laptop, no access past named user screen unless in safe mode. Hit user name the screen goes black.
    All ideas appreciated, wife has an essay to do for college this week!

    Unbelievable lets summary:
    You power up the notebook and can see the Toshiba splash screen on internal display.
    The notebook boots up into the Windows system (I assume Win 7), you can see the Windows login screen (user icon) where you can choose the user (profile) you want to use.
    After clicking on this user icon the screen is black and nothing is visible. Right?
    How about connection external screen just to check if something would be visible on the 2nd screen? Try also Fn + F5. This key combination switches between external and internal screen.
    But if it would be an software problem, the system restore/recovery should fix it.
    Try also to restart your computer tapping on the F8 key and select Repair Your Computer.
    This will open the System Recovery Options window. Select Startup Repair. You may also try System Restore to restore your computer to a point prior to this issue.

  • HP Pavilion g4, reinstall Win7 64bit fm a DVD disc, not work

    I try to fix a problem for my friend's laptop. It is HP Pavilion G4
    running Win 7 64bit OS. The laptop can not start up the windows. I
    press ESC to pause the start up, and run system recovery, it shows BIOS
    setup, system recovery and others, I then press Fn + 11 key to run
    system recovery, but it never runs.
    I then remove the HDD, and connect to my computer to run testing. It
    seems it has something inside corrupted. It takes so long to recognize
    all partitions. I decide to format all partitions and then resize
    them. Afterwards, I run test and chkdsk. Everything is fine with the
    HDD now. I put the HDD back to Laptop, and insert a DVD disc of Win
    7, the laptop does not start from DVD. The screen shows as follows:
    Hard Disk Error
    Please run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.
    Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
    F2 System Diagnostics
    I visit the above link, I could not find relevant materials.
    If I press ESC to exit start up. I can hear the DVD ROM is running,
    but still not work. The screen shows as follows:
    Startup Menu
    F1 System Information
    F2 System Diagnostics
    F9 Boot Device Options
    F10 BIOS Setup
    F11 System Recovery
    Enter - Continue Start up
    Only F1 would respond when I press. Other Fn does not respond at all.
    Do you have clue and suggestion for me ?

    You do not use Fn + the key indicated.For instance to enter BIOS you simply tap F10. Recovery would have been F11, not Fn + F11.

  • While installing Flash Player in Win7 64bits "error de registro"

    I'm trying to install Flash Player in Windows 7 64 bits but it keep sending me the message "error de registro" and it fails to install.  I've done what help say, so I deleted the version I had and now I have none Flash... Help!!

    I tried to install Flash Player after your procedure, but it keep sending me the same error... another idea?? Not sure if the error is translated as "Register error" as in the action of registering the software or "Record/entry error" as in an error on a Windows record.
    Please help, I can't use Explorer any more, because a lot of web pages use flash...

  • Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
    When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
    The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
    Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
    Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
    Thank You,
    Camp917

    Hey Lawrence,
    A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
    Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
    Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed  the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
    Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
    Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

  • Error message "Cannot find Microsoft Word installed on your system"

    The problem occurred on RH8 (with all latest updates) on Windows Vista (SP2).
    Hi,
    I suddenly encountered this error this week, when attempting to generate printed documentation, and finding I couldn't.
    I found a previous very long thread and trawled through the many alternatives to try and fix the problem.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/244420
    Only 2 weeks ago I was very happily generating printed documentation and couldn't understand why I was suddenly experiencing this issue.
    I've had the odd problem with opening cetain file types since an automatic upgrade to Open Ofice within the last two weeks, so thought it might be connected to that. (I know (!) but I need Open Ofiice to edit docs from our non Windows users.) All attempts to uninstall and re-install RH, as well as Open Office had no effect.
    Having looked at Peter Grainge's site (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/print_issues.htm#word_issues), I requested a copy of the MPJ2DOC.dll file from Peter, which he kindly sent me.
    I'm extremely happy to say that this has resolved the issue.
    I wanted to put a more recent posting on the forum, in case anyone else suddenly gets the same problem in a more recent version of RH8.
    Thanks to Peter for his excellent site & help.
