A bit ago a person on here said they were able to upgrade their academic vista ultimate 32bit from their school to the 64bit version through the alternate media order. HOW? I have tried and it says offer not found. I have a copy now of 32bit vista that is doing me no good at all since I have 4gigs of ram and a 64bit processor.

I wanted to order the Windows Vista x64 DVD that already had SP2 on it since the media I have is a version of Vista without any service pack on it which has the memory bug where Vista has issues installing on systems that have over 2GB of RAM.
I should have ordered the media when I saw it on the page, because now if you follow that link, you get redirected to...
Windows Vista home page
Which pretends to be about Vista, but shoves 7 in your face. But anyway, I'd like to know if anyone knows where that page went? I desperately need this Vista x64 with SP2 media, as my Win7 beta will begin to expire soon, and I'm not ready to upgrade to 7 just yet. TIA. :-)
I purchased the business version of vista from Windows marketplace, then I performed an anytime upgrade to Ultimate, now I would like to change to vista 64 but I don???t have a disk and I am not sure that my current key will work. I called Microsoft about obtaining alternate media (64 bit disk) however they informed me that I couldn???t get a dish through the alternate media plan because I bought from marketplace and not a retail canter. This is nuts to me. There must be some reasonable way to get a 64 bit disk in which my key will work without purchasing an entirely new version of vista. I mean dang I paid a ton for this, and now with me still playing fair they won't send me a 64 bit disk or let me purchase one for a minimal fee. Surely there must be some avenue I have over looked.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor reasons that I have yet to determine, my current computer is killing motherboards. I am assuming it is a virus so my friend is going to do a virus scan from his MAC to make sure my hard drive is clean. I decided to order a new HP (my current computer was home-built with the assistance from an IT savvy friend). To be more specific, it's model M8430F from best buy. Now for my question: Assuming my hard drive is not the root cause for the motherboard failure, it has XP and some 3D design programs that I use on it. I'm a little nervous about using Vista on the new computer to run these programs. Therefore I was wondering if I can install my current hard drive (SATA) into my new computer (HP M8430F) which is Vista based.
I'm not 100% computer na?ve? although it makes sense in my head that I should be able to boot from either hard drive I understand that there's a lot that I DON?T understand and therefore am posting here.

I have several contacts in my Windows Mail Contacts that I have mutiple e-mail addresses set up. (Using Vista). When I start typing the contact name in the "Send" window, only the "Preferred" e-mail shows up. How can I select their alternate e-mail address in the "Send" window?' I have tried right clicking and just about everyting else. There must be an easy way to bring up a list of all the e-mails in a contact (both preferred and the others) so I can then select which one or ones to send the message to.

I tried to re-associate the Windows Media Player to it's default media extensions through "Default Programs" , and it doesn't work...
All media files play normally on other players. I have to state that sometimes I get the message: "The file.... The parameter is incorrect".
This is what my system has and I would like to ask you guys if everything works to the maximum. Why do I only have 2.12 available of physical memory?
I would love to hear what you say guys. Tnx.

Media center keeps popping up, I have not been able to find a way to disable it, so that I can use the program only when I want. It is very tiresome to keep have it. open when ever I pop a cd or dvd in to my drive. I would like some control over which program I use to view/listen to the media I have, and not have one pop up automatically.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn one of my computers a newly created Folder In my Documents does not find its correct space in alphabetical order when the name is inserted but stays at the bottom of the list of Folders in My Documents, requiring it to be placed in the correct place by hand incurring all the difficulties of merging Folders at the same time - all time consuming. Is there a way of correcting this? The Technical Assistance for HP Compaq failed to find a solution - maybe you readers are better equipped with the grey matter than they are?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got it set up to my tastes. That said, one MAJOR annoyance I've come across is that no matter what I do, I cant keep the custom order of my 'All Programs' and 'Favorites' menus. I'm allowed to drag and drop in the order that I like, but every time I restart it's always put back in alphabetical order. I've unchecked the 'sort by alphabetical' in the 'customize start menu' panel, and I've made sure none of the folders are sorted by name... but
nothing seems to do it.

I purchased a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I purchased the Any Time Upgrade for Vista Ultimate. MS had to mail me the Any Time Disc, which is taking a long time coming. I haven't installed any software, including my anti virus, thinking it would be best to do the system upgrade first. Is this correct, or can I just go ahead and load the other software (Office 2007, QuickBooks 2008) and Trend Micro Internet Security?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, I get the PXE-E61 error on my computer every once in a while; maybe 1/5 times I start it up, and when it does happen I usually have to restart about two or three times to get it to start up correctly. I 'm not sure if it's a huge problem, but I would really like to get rid of it altogether because it is kind of annoying. Nothing else is wrong with my computer. I know changing the boot order is supposed to get rid of this, and I was given a link and a suggestion, but my options are slightly different than the ones I found in the link. I just want to be completely sure I'm doing this right. This is the link How do I resolve and PXE-E61 error message and crash?....
