Upgrade T400 from Vista to 7

Anyone have any idea how to find out which drivers I need to download to fix the following errors.
! Base System Device
! Base System Device
! PCI Simple Communications Controller
! PCI Serial Port
All in device manager, I have installed a ton of drivers and none of them fixed the problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

After your install, put the proper ThinkVantage System Update in place. You need version 4. Uninstall the older one first. It will install most of the drivers you need.

Upgraded window from vista to 7 on pavilion DV7 sound not working

Pavilion DV7 1468NR upgraded windows from vista 64 to windows 7 64 sound not working

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45073.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

Deactivate Photoshop Before Upgrade OS From Vista to Win7

I'm about to upgrade my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, using the "upgrade" install option to install Win 7 over the top of Vista rather than reformeting and doing a 'clean install' so I don't have to reinstall all my programs after the upgrade is finished. My installed software includes Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4. Will Photoshop still be activated after the OS is upgraded or should I deactivate it first, upgrade the OS, and then reactivate it after the new OS takes over? In other words, will upgrading the OS make Photoshop think it's been installed on another machine?

Please check this document http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_50853_en-us

Have tried an uninstall/reinstall on his machine; does not work.
At my office, I have installed our application in a virtual Machine that has Windows 7 and that DOES work.
Any thoughts?

What version of Crystal Reports? Only some versions support WIN 7. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki for details.

Upgrade T400 to Vista Ultimate 64bit?

I have a T400 on order (2764CTO) and scheduled to ship 9/5/08. As you may know, it only comes with the 32bit version of the Vista OS. I would like to upgrade to Vista 64bit and am looking for a check list or white paper that can guide me though the process.
Two questions:
Does such a thing exist?
What if any serious problems/challanges exist in doing so?

Some problems from upgrading Win7 from Vista

Hello!
My Equium A100-338 OS was upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Since this that the Toshiba Movie Factory and the Ulead MovieWriter disappeard and now it also doesn't recognise SD cards. I checked the toshiba website and I couldn't find the answer....
I just have the recovery CD for windows vista and I have no idea what to do to get the software (?!) back nor how to solve the SD card issue.
I am just a user and don't understand the ins and outs of computers...
Is anyone out there that may be of assistance?
Thank you ever so much!
Silvia

I agree with Akuma. There must be some compatibility problem and if these applications dont work anymore it is the price you must pay for Win7 upgrade. Such additional Toshiba applications are not downloadable so what you can do is to use Windows Movie maker or some other application.
What you can also do is to buy newest Ulead Movie Maker/Writer designed for Win7.
I have checked Toshiba download page and there is no driver for SD card reader. That means, either you can try to use Vista driver or Win7 update will find driver alone.
Check please both options.

Windows 7 upgrade advisor, from Vista, says that Firefox must be uninstalled before upgrading and that I won't be able to reinstall it, is this true?

I am currently running Vista, 32-bit. I am considering upgrading to Windows 7. I ran the Upgrade Advisor Report and it says "Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 Must be uninstalled before upgrading to Windows 7. You will not be able to reinstall it after upgrading to Windows 7." This appears to be inaccurate info, based on the Firefox website, but I want to verify what I should do before beginning the upgrade. Leave Firefox installed and in place when I upgrade, or uninstall and then re-install after the upgrade?

hello herplaw, you're right, this doesn't sound right - firefox will run fine on windows 7. i'd leave it installed and go ahead with the update. in any case (if you'd have to reinstall it later) you could also back-up the personal information that is stored in your firefox profile before you proceed: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

Upgrading X200s from Vista Bus to Win7 Pro

Hi
I'm thinking of upgrading my X200s to Win 7 pro, but will all my useful Lenovo utils be lost and is there a way to recover them in the new Win 7?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome,
I'm not sure which utils you find useful The best thing might be to go to SUPPORT above, enter X200s in the Quick Path on the right, then select drivers and software. Have a look around the list there and see if your favorites are listed as available in Win 7 versions.
it's possible - in some cases - to do an actual upgrade. That claims to preserve your data and programs. I would recommend a clean install that wipes everything. Save your data first!
If you go the clean install route, after '7 is up and running install ThinkVantage System Update and run it. It will pull down most of the Lenovo apps and drivers automatically.

TS1717 are there problems with iTunes upgrading from Vista to Windows 7?

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.

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista but my iTunes will no longer work. It says file can not be located when I try to play a song.

I recently upgraded my operating system from Vista to Windows 7. Ibacked up all of my music on an external hard drive before I reformatted my computer. I have reloaded iTunes several times and attempted to transer my files back to my computer. Everything appears to transfer but once I remove the external hard drive I get a message stated file cannot be located. What am I doing wrong?

I just posted a similar question -- five months later. Did you ever find a solution?

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.
Jeff

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Ir remote does'not function after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

I just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro from Vista Home Premium. I was able to get most of my drivers to work; however, I was not able to find th edrivers/software for my IR remote control. Has anyone else figured this issue out, or what drivers/software I should get fix the error? Thank you.

ArtAppreciator, I have the same problem. Installed Windows 7 and now my HP USB TV Tuner is not working. Worked fine on Vista. I can get passed the signal setup but get an error when Media Center tries to detect the IR receiver. Any thoughts?

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 have just upgraded my laptop from vista to windows 7, I have all my music on an external as the library is to large for hard disk. I have downloaded Itunes 11 but cannot fathom a way of getting my new itunes to connect with my external library.

Question: I have upgraded my windows vista to windows 7, I have all of my itunes music stored onto an external due to the size of content, so in vista all of my music in itunes had a path to F (external library). But now I have upgrade to windows 7, I cannot get itunes to recognise my library from my external. I have tried to connect external and open itunes with shift key down with both suggestions but to no avail. please help, all I want is to keep my library on external not on hard drive. I have also gone to preferences/advanced and made sure the external drive is chosen. This seems so complicated and I thought it would have been easy...

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.
