Will Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade using Win 7 Enterprise Upgrade

My pc is currently running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. It was running 64 bit originally, but because of certain business applications that only ran on 32 bit, we had to downgrade to 32 bit. By the time they got the programs updated, it was
too late (cost and time-wise) to return to 64 bit version.
I recently purchased Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit, because a Microsoft technical support person told me that Enterprise would be the upgrade to use. When I recently read "Windows 7 Upgrade Paths" it appears this is not the case. Will
I be able to upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Enterprise, as I was advised? If not, then Microsoft just cost me a lot of money!!
Thanks
Dave

Hello Dave,
Based on my research, Windows Vista Ultimate can’t upgrade to Windows 7 enterprise.
For more information, please take a look at the following article about Windows 7 upgrade path.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772579(v=ws.10).aspx
Windows Vista Ultimate can only upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.
Please contact the support to check if you can return the Windows 7 enterprise. For more information about return, please take a look at the following article.

Windows Vista Ultimate installed via Boot Camp?

Can install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit using the latest version of Boot Camp on OS X Lion 10.7.4, or is it not supported? This article is not clear: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461

You must install Windows 7 if you use OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. You can install Windows Vista, but the drivers aren't compatible with this edition

Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
Please advise what to do.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.

Stefan

Upgrading my T61 to Windows Vista Ultimate

Hey all,
I have a T61, [email protected], 3GB RAM, 120GB HD with Windows Vista Home Basic.
I recently got a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (from my University) and I was wondering if I could install it...
Basically, I want to know that:
1) If I install Windows Vista Ultimate off another DVD, will it wipe out my ThinkVantage integration? i.e. being able to use the ThinkVantage button during boot-up and so on.
2) I know I can download the ThinkVantage Vista software again from the Lenovo website, but would I lose the ability to factory restore my HD from boot-up if I install Vista Ultimate from my new DVD?
3) Is Vista Ultimate even worth spending the time and energy on for upgrading?
Thanks!

Mostly. You can restore some of it by downloading ThinkVantage software and the appropriate device drivers etc from the Lenovo support web sit for your ThinkPad model.

Yes, you will lose it. There are ways around that, but they require some 3rd party software.
You can always do a factory restore, if needed, from the DVD set you should have created on recieving a ThinkPad.

I have installed it on all my Vista capable ThinkPads, in x86 or x64 version depending on the ThinkPad platfrom capabilities, and find it well worthwhile.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

Adobe Reader V9.0 will not install on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

I have Windows Vista Ultimate Build 6001 and tried to install adobe reader V9.0. The download was fine but when I run the program (AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe) it returns the error:
"NOSSO (R) has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
Close program"
So I guess my questions are
1. Is there a version of adobe reader that will install on windows vista ultimate SP1?
or
2. Is there another pdf reader that will work with Vista Ultimate SP1?
Thanks for any and all assistance!!

I am getting the exact same error:
I have a brand new HP xw8600 systems with 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed.
Via google I found a suggestion to turn on user account control.
I went to control panel > User Account > Turn User Account Control
checked the box and restarted the system. I ran the install as the administrator. It was a minor improvement. Instead of the error coming up immediately like it was, I got the OS confirmation asking if I wanted to install the program. I got the failure right have selecting "yes"
Running out of clues... any help?

OS Windows Vista Ultimate - HP LAser Jet 1000 - Firefox will not print out internet page etc...

Windows Vista Ultimate Quick Install for Tungsten E2

Well, I have a Tungsten E2, which I use commenly, but not often. I just got a my dad's old computer for Christmas (which is a huge upgrade from mine, which was made in the 1990's I think), and he got me Windows Vista Ultimate for it. I can do everything with it; Palm Desktop, Hotsync, etc. except for using Palm Quick Install. I really don't feel like posting a picture, so I will just describe it. First I have to allow it to run, and then it checks Microsoft for a solution to use it. After that it says "palmOne Quick Install has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Problem with the new 64-bit edition of iTunes -- Windows Vista Ultimate

Very recently, I upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit to the 64-bit edition. I also downloaded the 64-bit edition of the Windows-based iTunes.
My individual iTunes music files were stored on a separate internal hard drive that was never a part of the upgrade overhaul (C: drive was upgraded to the 64-bit edition; my iTunes files are located on the D: drive).
After opening iTunes, I immediately went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced (tab) and changed the "iTunes Music folder location." I located my iTunes folder on the D: drive and clicked "Select Folder."
Unfortunately, nothing happened. Meaning, iTunes does not recognize any of the files located within this iTunes folder. This is the exact same iTunes folder that I used under the 32-bit edition of the OS.
I have nearly 50 GB of music files, none of which are now part of my music file library.
What's going on?

Chris CA wrote:
If the songs are not tagged correctly (title, album, artist at a minimum), they will go into Unknown.
If they are tagged correctly, go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and uncheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized* then close the prefs.
Re-open prefs and recheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
All my music was imported from CDs using iTunes.
After unchecking "Keep iTunes music folder organized" it doesn't make any difference. Virtually everything is in "Unknown."
I can't believe this..... it's like iTunes doesn't recognize its previous handywork.
Very frustrating!
If anyone know a way to quickly clear this up, let me know.

This should get your itunes store connection working.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Airport and Windows Vista Ultimate 64

Tomorrow I plan on buying windows vista ultimate for my Mac pro. I bought it in late 2008. I am wondering will I be able to get wireless internet with it. Or should i just get Vista ultimate 32? Thanks for the help

BTW i plan on using the Vista partition for gaming only

Windows Vista Ultimate on iMac 24" Experience

I wanted to share my experience installing Windows Vista Ultimate on my new iMac 24" with Bootcamp 1.2.
Background: My iMac is a 2.16 Dual Core with 1GB memory, 128MB of video memory, and bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It has the latest and greatest version of OS X and Bootcamp 1.2.
Experience: I installed bootcamp with no problems. I followed the setup wizard, creating the windows drive cd, and partitioned my hardrive with ease. I placed the Windows Vista Ultimate dvd in the drive and restarted my Mac. To my suprise, Windows Vista setup loaded recognizing the bluetooth keyboard/mouse and proceeded to install. The installation took about 15 mins.
Conclusion: I was quite impressed with Vista's speed. When I double clicked the applications they bursted open. The new Aero interface was incredible. The colors were vibrant and bright. I was expecting Vista to run dog slow with the hardware configuration but it was quite the opposite. The configuration was no problem for Vista. I know Vista has the ability to use unused ram dynamically for video so maybe that was it.
I know some people will get mad but I found myself switching back and forth looking at OS X and Vista. Reason is the speed was noticeably quicker in Vista. I did discover that Vista uses a "prefetch" technology which stores files of the recently used applications. It allows them to load commonly used applications faster.
Anyway, I thought I would share my experience. Best part was Bootcamp 1.2 and Vista Ultimate (30 days) are free. Back to OS X.

Compare the price of vista ultimate to tiger, and you might notice something...
Okay, maybe that version might be beautiful (the graphic art) but all clean and clear, it is still running on a failing foundation, aka windows platform.
I suppose I would share your opinion on speed when seeing it, but I want to mention that, when I experienced Windows XP with a previous bootcamp version, I also noticed that windows was verrry speedy. A friend of mine installed the same cd of xp on his computer with exactly the same config-specs as mine, only difference was: it was a non-apple machine and mine is (ofcourse).
Guess what we both experienced, there was no way that the speed was the same, although they both had same configs (and then I mean not only for ram, but every aspect). Don't ask me how that is possible (maybe that, for recognizing mouses and stuff the so called plug and play system of microsoft gets overwritten by the driver from mac you need to install to run windows on mac?) but I know it is just true.
To me that proves once again that mac is just way better. (and for your information, I've been working with windows for 8 years, until last year July, so I'm not just a un-XP'd anti-microsoft apple fan) but that anti-microsoft might in fact become true.
And just a little Tiger tumb up;
Now ofcourse, can't blame you for that because on a desktop you won't see all of that, but have you seen what happens with your battery life of a macbook or macbook pro when running both xp or vista on it? **** man, I have 4 hours battery-life when running os X with "best performance" settings, airport and bluetooth out, mighty mouse with cord (ofcourse, the bluetooth is out), ethernet cable plugged-in, full brightness. When running XP, that changes to 2h 26min, same config. Now, there vista is heavier in a graphical way, you see the battery life under vista shrinking to 2h 01min...

Windows Vista Ultimate - Boot Camp - Mac Mini

Hello to everybody
I bought a week ago a Mac Mini 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running the Mac OS X 10.6.2 and I have troubles for install Windows Vista Ultimate

"At least one component could not be configured, please restart the computer and reinstall windows"
Note, I have tested install Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bits but without luck, too I did a installation from zero, formatting, installing Snow Leopard, updating to 10.6.2 and after attempt install Windows without luck

No guarantees, but you could startup to your Vista DVD and try repairing startup. Just choose the options that move you closer and closer to Windows fix options, not toward installation.

Oracle 10g install on Windows Vista Ultimate

Basic question on whether Oracle 10g can be installed on Windows Vista Ultimate. Any link suggesting the same will be appreciated.
Regards,
Kaz

I have installed Oracle Database 10gR2 Enterprise Edition on Vista Business Premium and run it with no issues.
Suggestion is to download the 'for Vista' version (http://download.oracle.com) and read the install manual (http://tahiti.oracle.com) before installing. The read the Platform Guide for Windows to follow-up management techniques.

Will windows vista 64-bit run on the Macbook pro 2.33 ghz newest one?

I am contemplating on whether or not I should buy the 64 bit version of windows vista ultimate for my macbook pro, and im not sure if my computer is 64 bit capable .. let alone know what that means. Do I even need the 64 bit version? how will it help me? and will it even work on my mac?! help greatly appreciated ...

Practically speaking I think it's a waste of money unless you use Windows all the time in which case I would wonder why you have a Mac. I assume you have a Mac because that's what you use. Having Windows capability is just an after-thought and not a necessity. At least that's the impression I get from your posts.
In some cases, yes, 64-bit software could be slower because there's twice as much information that needs be processed at one time. Not all 64-bit applications will run faster than 32-bit applications. There are presently not that many 64-bit applications available, and you will have to pay additional money to replace your 32-bit versions with 64-bit versions most likely.
Does it hurt? Of course not. Is it practical? Not really for the casual Windows needs of a Mac user.
