After Upgrading To X64 Mouse No Longer Functions
Aug 27, 2009
After upgrading to x64 my mouse no longer functions as anything but a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel. Logitech says that the Vista Native Drivers are sufficient to use but they are not. I have always used Mouseware which allows me to select the wheel as double click and the other buttons to be set for what I wanted. In one of the threads in the Developer newsgroup I saw that someone named Choli had found a solution but she was a guest and never replied when someone asked her for the solution. Does anyone know the solution to getting Mouseware like driver(s) to give this mouse the same functions?

I went into the registry to remove a file that said I didn't have permission to edit (even though I was the admin) because the person whose help I asked for told me that was how to fix it. So I went into the registry and deleted the files in the registry (about 3 or 4 keys). But the files were still there. So I deleted the key that was show in the details section of the UAC. That didn't seem to do anything either. So I quit.
Now, once I restarted my computer, I can't use many of the basic functions of vista. I can't move, copy, cut, paste, or rename files. I also can't empty or restore the recycling bin. For example, I can't rename a txt from the folder, but if I open it in notepad I can save I as something different. I remade the key from the UAC but going into the registry editor and making a new key and entering all of the information, but it didn't correct the problem. That key is {3AD05575-8857-4850-9277-11B85BDB8E09} by the way.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with two internal hard disks, 160gb each. Disk 0 holds the C drive with Vista and all my apps, photos, vids etc. The same disk also has the E drive for system restore and a couple of very small drives whose functions I know not. Disk 1 has only one drive, D, which is solely for backup. It's filled up and no longer accepts data, so I recently bought a 1tb Seagate FreeAgent external drive, designated H, to take over backup functions. It works fine. I now have my C drive copied onto H and can safely delete the D drive contents. I want to use D to share duties with C, which is about 3/4 full.
Questions:
- How should I empty D? Drag all its contents to the recycle bin? Format it? Both?
- After D is emptied, how do I tell Vista to send new content there? Does Vista do that automatically? Should I wait until C is filled up before sending stuff to D, or should I manually transfer some there right away, so each drive will be about equally full? How can I make the two disks function as a single C drive?

I would like to know if it possible to stop certain functions to cease operating, because when I store a picture or photo, it is stored in these locations:
1/ windows photo gallery
2/ pictures
3/ windows media center
4/ picasa ( the one I prefer )

It all started with failed updates. Then I discovered that I couldn't run the check disk utility. A friend finally gave me a solution sfc /scannow in DOS which told me I had some corrupted files that windows couldn't fix. It told me to check out the log - but I couldn't find it. Now I discover (Having read a thread in VistaForums about the update error code 80070652) that I no longer have tabs in my Task Manager. aaaoorrrgh! I going nuts. how to restore these functions without losing all my data and updated drivers etc. (I'm not a beginner but I'm a sort of low level intermediate)

I've been getting this error message when I try to open certain control panel functions from the RUN command line or through the MMC console itself. Other functions like performance information, user accounts and parental controls don't respond when clicked. Windows update might flash up the beginnings of a window for a split second but wont load. I've got the update icon on my task bar saying it cant update. Other than some key function being inaccessible the PC runs fine (apart form Firefox has started crashing out every now again) I can install software ok.
I've run the SVG /scannow thing and it found no problem Its my home PC sp I am setup as administrator. This problem is effecting another vanilla admin account AND the hidden Admin account. I've virus scanned in safe mode. System restore went through the motions but after it had restarted the PC it said it couldn't actually restore........

I have an old Logitech but fully functional mouse (cordless optical).
When I ran Vista x86 Ultimate, I installed a small program that allowed me to double-click with middle mouse button. Now, with Vista x64 Ultimate, it doesn't work anymore.
Do someone know another small program to allow me that?

I already had Vista 32 bit which was preinstalled on my computer. I am wanting to upgrade to 64 bit which I have the CD of. But whenever I run the setup I get "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windoes youre running. Check your computers system information to see whether you need an x86 or x64 version of the program, and then contact the software publisher". Does anyone know how I can still the 64 bit version still?

According to the vista pages on the microsoft site, you cannot "upgrade" from
a 32bit XP to a 64bit vista, and must do a clean install, but it is ambiguous
as to what upgrade means. Does this mean that an original install version
(much more expensive) must be purchased, or can the upgrade version be used
on a clean hard drive as long as the XP key or whatever is put in to make it
recognize that you are upgrading?

I bought a OEM version of Ultimate x64, though now I want to upgrade my Mobo to another brand, new CPU and Ram. My question is: Do I have to buy a new Windows if I do that? Or is there a way I can reactivate my "old" one?

I am running an OEM copy of Vista Ultimate x64. By OEM, I mean I bought the disc that OEM's use to install windows onto a ready built machine. Anyway, I'm eligible to upgrade straight to Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
My questions are, once I have upgraded to Win 7 will it be using a new Product Key? And would I be able to do a clean install of Vista Ultimate on another PC and use the original product key?

I am attempting to upgrade from XP Professional 64 Bit to Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I dowloaded the upgrade software from the Microsoft digital locker and I get the following error when I attempt to run the install. "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I haven't been able to find any information on this so here it goes. I recently bought a computer with xp pro x64 and was wondering if it is possible to upgrade it to vista 32 bit with a standard vista home basic (or premium, whatever) upgrade version. The reason for this is I intended this computer to be used for home recording projects and Pro Tools (recording program) does not support xp x64 or vista x64, and it doesn't look like it will any time soon. So these are my questions:
-Will I need to do a clean install and still be able to use a vista upgrade version?
-Will I have to get a full new version of vista?
-Is it even possible?

I have just bought a HP notebook which has Vista Home premium 32bit O/S with Service pack 1. I tried upgrading this to Vista Ultimate with the Upgrade DVD. After entering the product key, I opted for the upgrade, after a while a message came up saying that the upgrading is disabled. I read somewhere that this trouble might have been caused by SP 1. So, one has to delete the SP1 and then upgrade. I looked into the add/remove programmes in the control panel, but there is no SP1 in the list.

I want to upgrade a machine from Windows7 Home Edition to Windows7 Professional, but the package say, "Designed for Windows Vista". Will this work for me, or do I need another upgrade version? The salesman said it would work, but I don't want to open the package unless I can verify that.

I have an Enpower tower that originally had XP on it then I got the Vista upgrade disc and have been having trouble booting up. I had took my tower to a local repair shop and they thought I needed a whole new mother board.

Would I still be able to do the upgrade even though I was never able to get

I’m preparing to install Vista Premium on my custom built pc (already installed XP Pro a month ago), the specs are more than adequate for this OS but I’m concerned about what possible, perhaps unforeseen issues that may arise during this upgrade. So my question is, what issues might I encounter during the upgrade, and what precautions might I take to avoid such occurrences?

Back in November, I explored the number of editions of Windows 7 that Microsoft was working on. While the company has not officially given a list yet, it was clear that Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate Edition were definitely coming. Furthermore, there was an obvious avoidance of naming a Windows 7 Business Edition, though there was a mention of a Windows 7 Small Business Edition. While doing a little more digging, I stumbled on the following upgrade paths for Windows Vista to Windows 7. These are not confirmed, but I am told they are what Microsoft is currently considering: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition => Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Windows Vista Business Edition => Windows 7 Professional Edition Windows Vista Ultimate Edition => Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Full Story: Rumor: three options for upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

I suddenly notice a lot of references to SP1 for Vista. I have stopped updates on my Vista Home Premium, after it killed my WinMail. I uninstalled upto KB 933928, and disabled updates. It is working fine, but I found AVG offering me AVG 8.0, which refused to install saying my Vista is not updated ( after downloading 80MB twice !! !&*()^%$$). How do I get to SP1? Just install all updates from MS? Will my WinMail survive? Or will I be forced to shift to XP Outlook? There is a lot of flak meant for Vista, but my system is very stable ( touch wood and everything else)
Request MVP advice.

When I put the 64 bit install disk in, it goes through the usual install process. I entered the product key from my 32 bit box, and continued. The install then fails as it says it cannot find an authorised disk to install on. My 32 bit Vista is fully activated, so I am not sure how to get around this.

I am having a bit of a problem upgrading from xp to vista. I currently have windows xp media center and am trying to upgrade to vista home premium using the upgrade version. Basically whenever I get to 27% of the 'expanding files' process on the installation i get a message which says 'windows cannot prepare the computer to boot ino the next phase of installation. to complete installation, please restart the wizard' or words to that effect.... I have tried opting for a clean install or an upgrade and get the same problems every time. I have run the upgrade advisor and it says everything is fine apart from my network card which needs the 'driver'

I have read a lot of threads in the forums to try to get to the bottom of my issue, but I have not found a true answer. I am running XP Pro and trying to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I have ran the advisory many times and it stated my computer is ok.
No issues were detected for these system components. The following table contains system components that meet the minimum hardware requirements needed for Windows Vista.........

Is Vista SP1 necessary or recommandable before upgrading to Windows 7? Many people these days is upgrading from Windows Vista preinstalled on the PC to Windows 7. In case of a complete recovery it's necessary to reinstall Windows Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (if you have bought an upgrade and not a complete Windows 7 version).
Yesterday I did a complete recovery and did a reinstallation of Vista Premium. After installation of Windows Vista I have so far done approximately 100 Windows Vista updates and is now continuing with SP1.
I have a Windows7 upgrade and plan to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7. Could I had saved time upgrading directly from Windows Vista in the original edition without all the other updates before upgrading to Windows 7, or was, and is it correct to take this detour?
