Or will I have to recover to Vista 32 Bit and Upgrade to Win 7 32 Bit?

Hi
To be honest I dont know what you mean exactly.
You can only upgrade Vista 32bit to Windows 7 32bit. An upgrade from 32bit to 64bit OS is not possible!! Therefore you have to make a new and clean installation.
If you want Vista back, you have to use Toshiba recovery disk or Microsoft Vista disk.

  • TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.  Autorun only shows the Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

    This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. 
    Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%.  It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

  • Trouble installing cs2 upgrade in Windows 7 64 bit

    I have recently bought a new computer and I am transferring programs.  I have deactivated cs2 on my old computer.  I am trying to install it on my new computer with OS windows 7 64 bit.  The CS2 is an upgrade from adobe Photoshop 5.02.  When I try to install the cs2 upgrade it asks for validation of ownership of Photoshop 5.02.  It does not recognize the cd when I put it in the cd player.  I have not been able to install Photoshop 5.02 onto my new computer using the cd (even when I use the compatibility trouble shooter and change settings to xp service pack 2. I have transfered the 5.02 over to my new computer via USB and can even run it.  However, CS2 upgrade will not recognize 5.02 even when I browse to the program folder.  Any other thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Find the registry keys for the program on your old machine, export them to a file, import them on the new system. regedit is your friend. Should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe somewhere...

    Hi there,
    Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10.  there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
    Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K.  So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate.  For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
    All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
    Addditional information:
    everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down,  laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot.  the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects.   This is scenario one.
    scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
    I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
    the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
    Please note well:  I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
    kind regards

  • W500 Windows 7 64 Bit Upgrade Misery :(

    My work required that I upgrade to a 64 bit Windows 7.  My W500 was from 9/09.  Never had any issues with it but needed to upgrade.
    Holy 2 days of hell.  Upgraded to Windows 7 and have had nothing but nightmares.
    Is there a "smooth" path to install Windows 7 64 bit on a W500 from a couple years ago?
    Almost every program I try to install, the installer hangs...  Every restart ends with a system hang.  Any suggestions will be incredibly appreciated.

    I can second the conclusion that, when installing and updating all the Lenovo drivers and programs for the first time after a bare Windows 7 installation or a factory image restore, it's best to download and install all the the drivers and programs manually, starting with the bios update, the basic chipset and hardware drivers. The System Update program does not seem to get everything installed correctly in the case of such a massive initial update.
    The "Driver Matrix" pages for your particular Lenovo machine on the Lenovo Support web site make the downloading reasonably efficient. (Don't forget the "Windows 7 Thinkvantage Experience" package (or whatever it's called), as well as the latest version of Lenovo Enhanced Backup and Restore).
    There are some sequencing isssues, meaning that some things have to be installed before others--be prepared to download and read the text notice that accompanies each component to get this sequencing right. (I think this is where the System Update program falls over.) Disable Windows Update while you are doing this! You'll be rebooting the machine a million times, but do it each time an installer want to do it.
    Some sequencing tips are given on Lenovo Support's advice for Windows 7 Clean Installation.
    Once you've done that, System Update will function quite nicely to pick up future updates.
    The final steps are to reenable Windows Update, check for and install all relevant Windows updates, including the optional Windows 7 system stability and program compatibility updates.
    If you choose, now install all your major software packages (office suites, etc.) and update them to the most recent level. Verify that everything works.
    Oh, once you've done all this labour, use Lenovo "Enhanced Backup & Restore" to create a set of DVD restore discs with the full image of the system you have just spent so much time creating! If you are as crazy as I am, you will then use those same discs immediately to zap your current system drive and verify that the backup discs really do work. Then I make the first "baseline" backup to my external USB drive, and go through the same zap & restore routine. (As I said, I am crazy...)
    Realistically, this belt+suspenders approach will take a whole afternoon, but you only have to do it once, and you are then certain that if your pants do fall down, you can quickly put on a new pair...

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.
    Thanks, Joachim

  • Premiere Elements 4- upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit

    I just upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit and reinstalled PE4.
    I tried to start a new project, but when I import an avi, I can't view the footage.....there seems to be an extremely skinny bar at the bottom of the screen where I can see something playing.
    I imported some jpegs just fine.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    Good morning Steve,
    All the clips are from my Flip video camera. I downloaded the clips straight from the camera.
    Prior to the W7-64 upgrade, my laptop (HP DV2500) was running Vista, and I was able to use PE4 and E5 just fine.
    This morning, I also tried using E5 to create a slideshow, but I'm having problems with that as well.
    I'm guessing my drivers are outdated?  I'm not sure what graphics card I have--- been clicking through my computer to try and find out.
    I appreciate your response.

  • I have just upgraded to Windows 7 (64 bit). Do I need a specific plug in? Some of my applications won't work in the browser.

    I was just upgraded to a Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop. I am trying to get a web-based application (XMLmind) to open in FireFox and am unable to do so. Is there a specific plug-in that I need to make FF compatible with my 64 bit laptop?
    Firefox works, but my application does not.

    When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
    When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
    Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.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, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

  • Itunes10.6.1 won't complete the upgrade on my windows 7 64-bit PC

    Everytime I try to udpgrade my version of iTunes to 10.6.1 for my windows 7 64-bit PC the update fails.  Why is this happening.  I have another PC with the sam eoperating system and it works fine.

    I have the exact same problem after last upgrade to 10.5 safari, now iTunes and Safari can't load any sites and I can't load iTunes app store.
    With those symptoms, I'd check the following document:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Itunes uses the same webkit rendering engine for the store as Safari does for rendering web pages, so the same sort of things that can cause a blank Store can also cause a blank Safari.)

  • LWAPP upgrade tool and Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I know this tool does not have a version for windows 7 but the company foisted the OS off on me to "Test" It works fine with windows 7 32 bit but I have windows 7 64 bit.
    So, I was attempting to install and use the autonomous to LWAPP tool to upgrade an 1131 AP to LWAPP. I DL'ed version 3.4 which is the most current I could find. unfortunately, it gives me an error installing saying it could not read from the IPUT file and after installation it is convinced I already have a TFTP server running, which I do not. In addition to all that, when attempting to Uninstall the tool it says _SETUP.DLL is missing.
    With that information in hand I found the _SETUP.DLL on another machine I use and copied it over which resulted in no improvements of note. I did register the dll as well. Any ideas?

    I assume you are using the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) version. I would suggest, if possible, you might want to use the new XP Virtual PC feature (run XP on Windows 7), if the version of Windows 7 you are running supports it. I think the VM runs XP SP3 32-bit.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
    You could also try changing the advance properties of the executable and indicate that it should be run in "compatability mode" of Windows XP 32-bit (I think that's an option, but my Windows 7 computer is at home)
    Whatever route you take, you will receive no support from Cisco in this configuration. If you can avoid it, it might be better to not do LWAPP upgrades with Windows 7 until something official comes out.
    petenugent - please be aware that Windows 7 was released to many people on August 6th. The general public release (of the exact same media) is due on October 22.

  • Windows 7 32-bit Upgraded from Windows Vista

    Hello Everyone
    I have a Satellite A500-15M, with a Windows 7 32-bit running on it which was upgraded from Windows Vista 32-bit by an upgrade DVD from Toshiba sent to me in January.
    I need to have my Windows 7 as 64-bit instead of 32-bit. I have been searching on the internet about this matter, and I have discovered that I cannot do this unless I have a fresh copy of Windows, but the only disks that I have are the Windows Vista RECOVERY DVDs, and the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD.
    Is it possible to have a fresh copy of Windows Vista 64-bit from my Revocery DVDs, then upgrade to Windows 7? Or do I need a Windows 64-Bit DVD?
    I really appreciate your cooperation.
    Kind Regards,
    Ala'

    Hello
    According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with Vista 32bit and 64bit dual boot.
    If you have created recovery discs it will be interesting to know how many DVD disc you have.
    For instance on my Satellite A500-157 I have 4 DVD discs. With other words I have recovery discs for 32 and 64bit Vista. When you start first DVD you will be asked which version you want to install.
    Please check if this works with your recovery discs too.
    If you have this option install Vista 64bit on your notebook and later use upgrade DVD and try to upgrade it to Win7 64bit.
    Please test it and let me know if this works for you.
    Depending on your answer we will search next solution for you.
