Upgrade Vista to Windows 7 Keyboard Filter Issue

I really need some help with this...
I upgraded vista to Windows 7 full retail version.
Compatability check said to update keyboard filter. I couldnt find much info about this and assumed it wouldnt affect it too much except extra functions I probly never use.
Unfortunately, my keyboard doesnt function properly at all.
Im using HP G30-260US laptop.
I have now disconnected the keyboard ribbon and plugged in a usb keyboard, quite a pain to use this one, but at least its working. I would really like to know of a fix for this issue to get my real keyboard working and windows 7 is already running on this computer, from upgrading, not a clean install. I've tried installing a different quick launch buttons driver and uninstalled it completely after windows 7 but no success.
Please help me hehe
Thanks a miillion

Can I upgrade Vista to Windows 8 on a MacPro 2,1 (OS 10.6.8)?

I have Vista-64 (BootCamp 3) on my Windows partition and am beginning to have problems with some newer software. I'm running 10.6.8 on the Mac side, and can't really upgrade that (don't want to use Lion). Can I upgrade my Vista to Windows 7 or 8, and what's the easiest way to do that (without redoing the Bootcamp partition, hopefully). Thanks.

Xcode 4.x cannot be installed on Snow Leopard. You need a 3.x. So if that is what you used then yes, you need to install lion. If connect.apple.com still alows registration or logins using an existing appleid then you could download the last xcode 3.2.6 for free.

Upgrading Vista to Windows 7 problem

So, I know Apple hasn't officially supported installing 7 yet, but I've been trying to upgrade from Vista Business edition. It will get almost all the way through and then have some kind of issue and says it reverts back to Vista. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm guessing I can reinstall Vista and then upgrade it to 7, but I'd like to avoid that.

Hi Chris,
have a look here http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/review_upgrade.asp for upgrade possibilities or when you have to migrate.
Basically an upgrade from 32-bit Vista to 64-bit Windows 7 is not possible and an upgrade from a 'high-grade' Vista version to a 'lower-grade' Windows 7 version is also not possible.
This might be the cause of your trouble, depending on what Windows 7 version you have.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Why wont my HP All In One C5280 printer print from photo tray after upgrade- vista to windows 7?

I recently downloaded an upgrade for windows home premium. Used to have Vista. Now my HP C5280 All In One printer will not print from the photo tray when settings are correctly set. This is after I ran HP Update. What do I do next.

I would try running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. Go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-91788-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...= and see what part fails.
The PDU checks the connectivity, spooler condition, online status, device manager, print queue, ports, driver, conflicts, and default printer.

Need to upgrade Vista to Windows - problem with CC?

Hi,
I didnt realise the Edge animate feature would not work with Windows Vista, so what i decided to do is upgrade my operating system. However i recently reset my laptop to factory settings so i am unsure if it would appear that i have downloaded the apps on 2 computers, when in fact its the same laptop. Now that if i upgrade my operating system will that cause problems because my apps have been installed on this PC twice already?
Also as i am upgrading... for the features of Creative Cloud ..alll of them.. is Windows 8 or 7 preferred by Adobe and are issues supported as apparently on the forums there was a post from an 'Elaine' advising Adobe didnt support Vista related probelms. This was kind of unfair as i purchased Creative Cloud for Windows Vista, this kind of gives the impression the programmes work on Vista to be fair, i could have upgraded beforehand if i'd been aware, but either way i need to get it right this time as my assignments are going overdue and i could be failed.
I really appreciate any and all help you could give me as im in a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance,
Lara.

The better graphics option ie 780M for that Imac with the I7. I would also suggest a TB drive instead of Firewire which is higher latency and lower bandwidth for drives.

Can I upgrade Vista to Windows 7 (using an upgrade disk) on boot camp when my Vista drivers aren't functioning?

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I'm trying to create a Windows partition. I have Windows Vista Ultimate, but apparently my computer can only support Windows 7 (I've tried everything to get drivers to work on Vista.) My question is, can I buy the $29.99 Windows 7 (shown here http://www.microsoft.com/student/en/us/windows/buynow/default.aspx) and upgrade my Vista, even though none of the drivers work? I can't afford to buy a full version of Windows 7, so I'm trying to work around it as best I can. Thanks so much for your help!

Upgrade Vista to Windows 7

Ok I have a T61 which is still works reasonably well for my purposes (core duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz + 8g Ram). Windows Vista has become corrupted in some way which interferes with printing and now McAfee anti virus is giving me problems as well. So I figure it is time to upgrade to Windows 7.
What is the best way to go about it? Download 7 from MSFT site? That would seem the easiest.
Will 7 use the subsystems already resident on the computer thus inheriting the problems of Vista?
Thanks for your guidance.

Hello,
You might want to take a look into purchasing a license that includes the physical media for the installing the operating system, such as an Upgrade Edition license, which you can still perform a clean installation with, as opposed to just an upgrade of the existing operating system.

Help! DV7-1020US - "No emulation System Type 00" when upgrade Vista to WIndows 7

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade an HP DV7-1020us from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium. When the laptop reboots as part of the installation, I get a message:
0: No emulation system type 00
1: No emulation system type 00
I've seen similar problems posted, but with no responses.
Can anyone explain:
1) Why am I getting these messages when I boot the system, and
2) How to eliminate them?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
FYI, each time the laptop booted during the upgrade, it displayed those lines.
What I ended up doing is typing "0" (no Enter key, just "0") and then it'd boot through to Win7 for the next phase of the upgrade.
I was able to get through the Win7 upgrade process that way, and Win7 is now running on the laptop.
After completing the Win7 upgrade, I don't see those lines anymore when the laptop is booted. Not sure why.

Reimage after upgrading Vista to Windows 7

Is it possible to create recovery disks and then reimage a Satellite A505-S6965 that has been upgraded from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate and then restore the laptop to Windows 7?
I can't find my Windows 7 product key, so I can't just re-install Windows. It is a genuine copy--I did buy the upgrade.
Sorry for the uneducated question, but if it is possible, what state would be laptop be in after the restoration? Would it have just the OS and need all the apps re-installed, and the docs, pics, etc would be gone (which is what I want)?
If that is not possible using this method, what can I do to reimage the disk without having to buy another copy of Windows 7? Is there a way to recover the Windows 7 product key?
Thanks,
Karen

Upgrading vista to windows 7

I have a touchsmart iq518a running vista home is it hard to upgrade to win7 pro

Greg, welcome to the forum.
I wouldn't think that it should be a major problem. HP has provided all of the drivers for Win 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). Here is a guide that should make the process less difficult.

Keyboard Filter Compatibility Error When Upgrading to Windows 7

I recently upgraded to Windows 7. As soon as I did my printer stopped working. I was trying to fix it for about two weeks when the mouse and keyboard stopped working. I called hp tech multiple times over the past week. I recovered my system back to Vista and when I tried to do the upgrade the compatibility message appeared stating the keyboard filter may not work. The tech had my download the upgrade to the quick launch buttons and the BIOS system, yet the same message appeared anyways. This also appeared the first time I upgraded myself, in which when I went in manually to upgrade the keyboard it said everything was updated.
The tech informed me to go ahead with the upgrade and said a senior tech would call me a few hours later. The call never came, and when I called back I was told I would need to restore my computer back to vista again! and update the driver then upgrade back to 7. Needless to say I was upset, and I don't believe I need to do all that again. My keyboard is working fine now but I'm afraid it might stop working like it did last time.
Basically, I just need to know if I should listen to the techs, who got it wrong the first time, and redo the horribly long process, if I should update sometime now, or if I should just wait and see.
I have a dv-4 Pavilion Entertainment PC. Thanks.

I did upgrade the quick launch buttons online before I upgraded. I went to check and the most current one is already installed on my computer. But even with installing that the error message still came up.
My question is should this be something I should be concerned about in case the same problem happens again? Like I said, everything works fine now but the problems with the mouse and keyboard didn't happen until 2 weeks after I upgraded.
I just don't want to go ahead and reinstall all my programs and files now if I'm just going to have to restore my computer, upgrade again, and have to redo that process.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

Ideapad Y450 - Vista to Windows 7 upgrade comedy routine

I've looked for information on how to upgrade my y450 (Vista) to Windows 7 but have been unable to find what i am looking for. The lenovo page for Ideapad windows 7 information is a dead link.
What are the steps to install windows 7 on the laptop? The issue here is the app 'one key recovery'. How do I install it so this software will restore to windows 7?
To be honest this website is a trainwreck: dead links, wildly different urls and formatting, and no clear information for customers. I am eligible for the upgrade DVD I have seen mentioned (I think), but am not prepared to go through the ordeal of shipping. Couldn't Lenovo provide us all with information how to deal with this? I would have thought there should be a FAQ for Y series customers wishing to upgrade but I have not found one.
1. Please advise how to install windows 7 so that I don't have a redundant vista on the HD for recovery. Step-by-step would help as Lenovo have non-standardised the installation with their one-key bloat. I've seen conflicting walkthroughs from randomly confused customers.
2. Please provide a link for a support package for Y450 users that gives all the Win7 drivers needed for the massive bloat they force on their customers (one key recovery/dolby buttons/comedy slide functions). Or we have to manually look for each driver?
3. Please explain how users of computers shipped with Vista can upgrade successfully to Windows 7. (Yes with one key recovery etc working). The goal is to have a fully working computer - not some compromised hybrid of vista and 7. One-key is absolutely useless and an insult if we can't revert to Win7 rather than Vista.
4. I've seen mention of a mythical CD Lenovo provided for those who had laptops with VIsta shipped in error. Can we *all* not get this software so we can have working systems?
If this information is there and I've missed it I'm sorry. I've spent over an hour looking with no results. Seeing as the first laptop I received had been repartitioned and used by salesmen, and the second shipped with a blown speaker, I'm not too impressed. I've also no idea why my laptop has vista on it rather than windows 7. - I bought this laptop a week ago.
I hope you can point out that this is all my mistake and that the information is out there. At least then I can get on with things. If they hadn't bothered with one-key recovery (a 'feature' that puts more people off buying the laptop than encourages them to buy it) they would have saved on R&D and made a more successful product. You have to ask yourself wtf they were thinking on this one.
Please advise.
EDIT : It appears that this recovery system is not supported in Windows 7 (please confirm). If this is the case then do I simply format C and install Win7? I have heard about 'hidden partitions'. Is this hidden recovery partition on C drive and will it be erased by a simple Win7 installation (by following basic installation wizard)?
I just want a clean installation of Windows 7 with no lingering partitions and unused data (namely vista image).
1/ Do i just insert win7 dvd and install with no issues? 2/ Please link driver pack for y450 vista users upgrading to Win7.
TY.

I'm strictly a ThinkPad user and have never seen an IdeaPad, so I don't have the answers to your questions. However, in this thread down in the Win 7 board, someone said they had gotten it to work with the RC candidate last summer.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 / Upgrade System Windows Vista to Windows 7

Dear customer service,
I am a customer of Adobe as I bought two years ago the Adobe Creative Suite 5.
My system is still Windows Vista. Now I wanna buy the Microsoft Home Office 2013 and now I have to upgrade from
Windows Vista to Windows 7.
My question is if there will be any problem with the Adobe Creative Suite 5? Or can I only put in the upgrade CD,
leave the Creative Suite on my pc and have nothing else to do than just installing?
Thank you for your reply.
With best regards,
Nicole

Correct. You only need to run the CS5 installer and have to provide the pertinent serial numbers in the process. Just make sure you run Help --> Deactivate bevor nuking your Vista install and reformatting your drive. If there are issues during the install, ask in the Download, Install & Setup forum.

HP not honoring free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

When I purchased my machine in February 09 with Vista home edition I was promised on the web site and by the sales clerk that I would receive a free upgrade to Windows 7. Now I am told that only machines purchased after June 09 will qualify. I am furious and will not settle for this. Does anyone else have this issue.

Look you might have understood them wrong or you're saying something that they didn't say. They might have told you that there is going to be a free upgrade program for Windows 7 closer to when Windows 7 launches and thought you could get it when you bought it or you just want to accuse HP that they said that you would have the W7 Upgrade for free so you can get the upgrade. You should have looked for an official confirmation from Microsoft for the free upgrade from vista to W7, http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option-program-amp-windows-7-pricing-bring-on-ga.aspx This link was released on June 25, 2009 and officially says that the free upgrade program was going to start on June 26, 2009 and this is directly form the Windows Blog. You made a mistake of listening to people and not looking for the official Microsoft Announcement. Your out of luck. Microsoft did this with xp to vista when vista came out and it was around the same months as vista to W7, so you should have also looked for past free upgrade. On February, Windows 7 date hasn't even been announced and the beta was still in progress as posted here on February 2009 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/01/23/general-availability-for-the-windows-7-beta-to-end.aspx So this goes back to the top, you should have looked at past free upgrades like xp to vista to check how many months before they will start the free upgrade program.
