Windows 7 to replace Vista Home Permium

New HP Touchsmart--second generation. Have completed recovery disk creation. Want to replace Vista with Windows 7. Can I use recovery disks to restore HP and other program files? Install of Windows 7 to replace Vista Home Premium will wipe disk as I understand. Tried to backup files and failed. How many disks will it take. Because it is new, there are no files other than what came on the computer.

Backup files means back up your data files (just in case something unexpected happens).
If you do an upgrade to Windows 7, your applications and data will still be there. There will be some applications that will not work. You will need to go to www.hp.com/support to download the application/driver updates for your system model.

Moving iTunes from Windows 2000 to Vista Home Premium

I am buying a new computer and am currently using Windows 2000. I have an older version of iTunes on it because I haven't been able to download the new version since Windows 2000 is no longer supported.
I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer via a home network. I am wondering how to get all this onto my new computer. Should I:
Install the new version of iTunes on my new computer and authorize this computer?
Copy the iTunes folder from my back-up computer to the C: drive of my new computer?
If I do this, will it automatically restore all my playlists on the new computer?
Also, I have a lot of mp3 files that I have imported into my library which are currently residing on my C: drive and not in the iTunes folder. I believe iTunes is "pointing" to those files. If I move these mp3 files to the same location (same folder name) on the C: drive of my new computer will these be restored as well, or will I have to import them all into iTunes again? We're talking about 400 songs here and I would rather not do that if I don't have to.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

By clicking "yes" to that message, anything on your iPod _*that isn't in your iTunes library*_ will be deleted from the iPod.
If you need to transfer music from your iPod to your new iTunes installation, then check out Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
*_Do this before you do anything else,*_ or you may lose what's on the iPod.

Hello
In dec 2006 I purchased an equium laptop which was installed with windows xp. It had a free upgrade to windows vista home premium in june 2007
All the Toshiba driver info on the laptop still refers to windows xp and I wondered if a package can be downloaded to
update all the drivers to vista and change the Toshiba Assist/Protect & Fix/Preinstalled Drivers Depository/Tools & Utilities window to read Vista Home Premium instead of Windows xp.
Thanks for advice

I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

I have a windows laptop with Vista Home Basic and need to use windows for course work. How can I get it onto my Mac as I have no disks. Laptop arrived with Vista pre-loaded.
Thanks

As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
Paragon works
So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
But why pop into someone's thread.

Replacing Motherboard on HP Media Center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)

Running OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x Desktop PC. Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68-LA Motherboard 6150SE HP Narra2-GL8E with an MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard due to failure. Both boards have same chipset and form factor. Can I just replace board without reinstalling windows? Do I need to install new drivers? I don't have an install CD or install key, would Microsoft provide a key if needed? Is there a link I can reference for MB replacement/ install?
Thanks for you assistance!

The OEM license is tied to the original motherboard version, ie M2N68-LA. You lose the OEM "rights" when you changed the board.

ITunes Version 7.0.2.16 and Windows Vista Home Premium

I am still using iTunes Version 7.0.2.16, and due to my failing computer, I am unable to upgrade to a newer iTunes version.
I am about to replace my old computer and the new computers all seem to come with Windows Vista Home Premium.
Do you know if Windows Vista Home Premium supports iTunes Version 7.0.2.16?
(My plan is to install this old version, copy my music directory across to the new computer, and then upgrade iTunes.)
Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, you can install itunes 7.0.2.16 on Vista Home Premium.

Windows Vista home premium has reverted to old format - how can i fix this?

On Tuesday I turned on my laptop to discover that windows vista home premium had reverted to the old style. I'm using a Toshiba laptop (Satellite). The toolbars are now grey and the circular start logo has been replaced with the old rectangle, the dialogue
boxes are old style too.
I was prompted to install the service pack 2 which I did smoothly but no change and then today I was prompted to install a further 59 updates which I did and after restarting my laptop still no change.
I've ran a virus check and no threats were found. I've also deleted some stuff off my laptop and tried to clear it out but no change.
I'm not very technicallly minded but would really like this fixed. Any suggestions?

You mean the ones like Windows 2000, where windows and dialog boxes have grey backgrounds and dark blue colour in titlebar?
If yes, somehow the Windows theme might have been switched to Windows Classic.
Right-click an empty area on the Desktop > Personalize. Now select Theme under Personalization. In the
Theme Settings window, select "Windows Vista" theme from the dropdown. Click OK to apply the theme.

Windows Vista Home Premium- Restoring Itunes Library- Not Eonugh Space on C

I have 64 bit version of Vista Home Premium. Experiencing the following error when trying to restore music library. I have a 320 GB Hard Drive and a 250 GB external HD. After about 15 GB it states in the error-"Not enough space on C:/ library could not be saved. Anyone have any solutions?

Hi, that's not a problem I've spotted before. From what I can find out it seems ubd.exe is part of Windows and responsible for handling .dll files in some fashion. You could try the Microsoft support page Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files just to confirm that your system files are in order. More likely it is a problem with the Apple library being loaded. Unless you have thoroughly uninstalled all Apple components, deleted the recommended folders, then reinstalled it may be the case that you have an outdated file from the last build of iTunes that wasn't replaced, and that the error is generated by incompatible files trying to call each other.
If you didn't do a full tear down already my advice for doing so is in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Vista Home Premium - Error code 80070490 - Windows update

Computer - Satellite 200
Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
Problem - When I try to update from Windows Update (both manual and automatic) I get error code 80070490
I have tried - System restore, downloading and paying for "RegCure" and following instructions on Microsoft forum all without success.
The computer was supplied with a recovery disk which does not have "repair" facility.
If you have a solution that does not involve a full re-load I would be very grateful
Please make instructions comprehensible to a non-techno!
Thank you

This error may occur if the older Windows Update engine files cannot be
replaced by Windows Update Agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.374).
To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first reset permission and
reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0.
Step 1: Reset permission
================
1. Please download the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save
the installation patch onto the Desktop:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...inityDownloads
2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder
during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission
settings on the current machine.
Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to
continue, please click Continue.
4. Click the Start Button, in the Start Search bar, type: "notepad" (without
quotes) and press Enter.
5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window:
@echo off
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
@Echo =========================
@Echo Finished.
@Echo =========================
@pause
6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose
Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file
name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the save location.
7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run
as administrator."
8. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished,
you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue".
Step 2: Reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0
===========================
1. Please download the file from the following link:
Windows Vista (32bit)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
Windows Vista (64bit)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe
2. Save the file to D: drive.
Note: Please select a drive where Windows Vista was not loaded because the
file cannot be launched directly from the system root directory.
3. Click Start->Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce"
(without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update
engine.
Note: There is a space between "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and
"/wuforce"
Now, let's run Windows Update again.

WAV Files won't play on Windows Vista Home Premium

We have a HP Desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. Just recently, certian sound files quit playing. We also noticed that the system sounds quit working as well. After looking into it more, I figured out that the drivers are all up to date, that iTunes plays music just fine, and that the internal error beeper in the tower replaced the error.wav when an error window pops up. I have run defragment, check disk, and other system scanners. None of these seemed to help. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

Have you checked the HP Website and Microsoft Support websites to see if they have any solutions to your problem? Since there could be multiple things causing this, I would check at the places I mentioned first and see if their knowledge base contains an answer.

How to Perform In-Place Upgrade of Windows Vista Home Professional amd64

I'm trying to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Vista Home Professional amd64 but the setup process fails stating that I need to remove Windows PowerShell prior to the upgrade.
I didn't have http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 installed so I couldn't uninstall it.
I checked Windows features and PowerShell and the ISE were listed.
I tried removing it (via optionalfeatures.exe) but it fails with 'An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed.'
I tried installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried uninstalling http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928439 then removing the Windows feature - same error as above.
I tried performing an in-placce upgrade again and it continues to say that Windows PowerShell needs to be removed.
I cannot remove PowerShell (or the ISE) via ocsetup.exe as no such option exists according to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff716463.aspx
I tried removing it with DISM via /online /Remove-Package /Disable-Feature, but "DISM does not support servicing Windows Vista with the /Online option."
I tried sfc /scannow again - same 'Windows
Resource Protection' error.
I tried the in-place upgrade again and it still needs PowerShell to be removed.
There have been chkdsks and reboots peppered throughout this process.
I don't know what else to try & I feel like I'm stuck in a possibly crazy catch 22 situation.
Note: This is a Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit machine.
For those that need more history on how I got here, I'm going to refer you to my 'Windows
Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation' post in the, incorrectly categorized, Windows 7 forums. In short:
Whenever I run Windows updates, all the updates fail. It doesn't matter if I do one, all or something in between - they all fail.
I ran sfc /scannow but that fails with 'Windows
Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'
I tried performing an offline scan as well but that failed with the same 'Windows
Resource Protection' error.
Not sure what to do at this point and I don't know what logs would be helpful for you to review at this stage (cbs.log, windowsupdate.log, other?)

Please try below and check if we can boot normally now.
1.
Boot to Recovery console2. Use the backup
System registry hiv to replace the current hiv
In the Recovery Console.
In CMD, go to:
     %systemroot%\System32\Config\
Run: ren system system.old
Go to:
     %systemroot%\System32\Config\regback
Run: copy
     %systemroot%\system32\config\regback\system %systemroot%\system32\config
Restart your computer.
After that, please try to test if the server can boot to normal mode now.

Apologies for the delay. I will first try your suggestion above followed by system restore if that fails.
I'll do this over the weekend (if not this evening) and update this post.

64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium compatibilty?

I'm looking to purchase a new PC that runs the 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm wondering if my older programs, Premiere Pro 1.5, Photoshop 7, and Dreamweaver MX 2004 will run in the new system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gee, Phyllis I've read on microsofts own site that CS3 was 64 bit vista compatable and CS4 was native. I'm still on Photoshop 7 so I can't help you but on photoshop re-installs that load with messages about missing files , I search in my back up folders for the previous computer where it ran fine and copy it into my photoshop program folder.
If you google the exact missing file message you may find a site that charges for it. I'd be scared to do that, though.
Bob, if I grasp it correctly 64 bit compatible means "EUREAKA" the software runs on 64 bit vista in at least one case so we'll call it vista compatible. Vista 64 bit native means software will use bigger chunks of data and access more RAM available because it's been re-writen / coded and designed for it.
I had my old dell inspiron 8100 laptop start to BSD occasionally. I do a lot of photoshop and picture storage and have 2 big HP dual xeon 800 FSB workstations with XP Pro and 4GB of RAM (3.5 showing) for sit in one spot work. I broke down and bought a new laptop last september to replace the dell.
Got a gamers laptop and changed the OS to Ultimate 64 bit from Home Premium 64 bit and changed a single weirdly partitioned 200 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive to dual 320 GB 7200 RPM SATA HD's.Had to buy Partition Manager from Paragon to partition drives like I wanted (OS and programs on separate spindle from paging file and scratch disk)and it had to boot in a DOS mode to do partitioning succesfully and worked fine on Vista 64 bit. Norton Anti - virus works and was listed as 64 bit compatible when I bought it. Acronis True Image 11 home clearly states "Supports 64 bit CPU and windows Vista" so I guess they do or they don't................Got refunds from lavasoft and spyware blaster they both claimed Vista 32 and 64 bit but were quick to give refunds. Would not load or install.
As you can see I'm trying to adapt to vista and 64 bit so I'm used to it when I get new Vista workstations with more RAM for Photoshop. I've e-mailed Roxio support and have been issued a ticket # for my original problem. Let's see what they say..............Raymond
