Oct 29, 2009I've just bought for my brother a new laptop (Toshiba sat A355-S6998)(Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz , 4 GB ram) with Vista home premium 64 bit OS on it, but i want to downgrade it to vista home premium 32 bit, because the programes my bro want to use in his study didn't work due to incompatibility issues "Autocad 2004 or 2007 versions only" and other programes. Now, is this downgrade safe? Am i going to face any problems after that? I've heard that even the platform or hardware in 64 bit differ from 32 bit, is that right? Note: A computer technician is going to perform the downgrade.

Jul 3, 2008I purchased two copies of vista, one 64 and one 32. The 32 bit was installed on a different machine and the 64 bit on my own. Since then I have found 64 bit to be rather incompatible with my needs. I am wondering if I can reformat my computer with 64 bit on it, then install the 32 bit software on it using the 64 bit product key so I don't use the same key twice. Since I only have OEM, I am wondering if my 64 bit key would be compatible with a 32 bit copy of Vista.

Jan 22, 2009recently bought solidwork student edition which, as i now know, doesnt run on vista 64bit. It would be too expensive to buy the premium version of solidworks as im a student! The only option i can think of to get solidworks to run is to downgrade to 32bit OS, maybe business or ultimate. My CPU is running at 64bit. Will this still all work? Or any better ideas?

Jun 28, 2008I have to buy a new computer and am very reluctant to use VISTA (I personally like XP Home). However, there aren't a whole lot of options out there in the stores.

Mar 23, 2008I'm not a computer guru but I know enough to get myself in trouble. I bought a new Dell laptop about 6 months ago and they talked me into going with Vista Home Premium. I really like what Vista is supposed to do but I'm getting way too frustrated with all the little things that go wrong all the time.
1. Internet Explorer locks up then fades and says it's "Not Responding". Then I go to Task Manager and kill the program then start up IE again and all is well, for a little bit anyway.
2. A couple of programs will all of a sudden freeze the entire laptop and the only way I can fix it is to hold down the power button until it powers down............
Browsing, Possible To Downgrade From Vista To XP
Nov 21, 2007This evening I was browsing through the Dell forum and came across the following post in a thread initiated by someone who asked if it was possible to downgrade from Vista to XP. I thought it was pretty funny and those of you with a sense of humor probably will too. "Are you SERIOUS? Vista is the greatest thing since Internet porn.
Why, since I have installed it my dog has been cured of arthritis, and my johnson has grown by a full 4". I am no longer constipated, my skin has cleared up, and I have begun to win friends and influence people. I have won the lottery, single-handedly achieved world peace, and have convinced Nicole Richie to stay sober.
Adults and small children trust me, and my bank has decided to pay ME interest on the loan I took out. My lawn is greener, and my car never runs out of has. Global warming has reversed, and disease and famine have been wiped off the face of the earth. Get rid of Vista?

Mar 26, 2008I have a new laptop with Vista Home Premium and I want to downgrade to XP Pro. I have read that with the Business or Ultimate editions that I can phone customer support and do a downgrade to get an XP key if I give them my unactivated Vista key. Since I don't have Business or Ultimate, can I do an upgrade to that and then downgrade to XP Pro (as it will be cheaper than buying the non-OEM XP Pro)?

Sep 27, 2009Since lat week that I decided to downgrade my Satellite A100-AV9 from vista to XP using original XP media of another model of Satellite A100 I used to have, I've been having a nightmare. I tried a clean install via both options the CD offered: Recover to out of box state" and erasing hard drive first and installing XP using "out of box" option. What happens is that as soon as XP boots up, for a sec the Windows XP screen shows up but suddenly crashes and after a brief blue screen a message says that the Window failed to boot up and waits for me to whether restart or go to safe mode, and no matter what I chose it crashes again. So I use a genuine software from Toshiba intended for an A100 to downgrade another A100 and it bitterly fails, so what's going on?

Windows Update Kills Windows Mail On Windows 7
May 12, 2010If you have installed Windows Mail on a Windows 7 computer,yesterday's update contains a KB978542 patch which changes msoe.dll so it won't run on Windows 7. I had warned about these types of issues when Win7 was first released. Microsoft claims it was done for security=20 reasons, see To get it working again, replace the new non-working copy of msoe.dll in Windows 7 with a copy of the new patched version of msoe.dll from a Vista machine.=20
Note: I ran into permissions issues when trying to delete the = non-working msoe.dll, so rather than fighting that, I renamed the Win7 Windows Mail directory to "Windows Mail-X", then I copied and pasted the Windows Mail directory from the Vista machine. I suspect that Windows Mail will = become less and less compatible with Win7 as time goes along.=20

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe Recommended Updates Was KB940157: Windows Search 4.0 For Windows Vista For X64-systems (11,8MB).
Aug 19, 2008I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition Dutch Version, updated with SP1 and all the patches/updates until today. However, I have encountered two problems lately, that might be related. During one of the last Windows update sessions, one of the recommended updates was KB940157: Windows Search 4.0 for Windows Vista for x64-systems (11,8MB).
The update downloaded succesfully, created a restore point, but then during installation of Search 4.0, windows update stops and announces an update fail error:
Failed: 1 update
Errorcode: 800F0900
I've been googling this particular error code in combination with KB940157, but it doesn't bring up any entries. Then later on, I discovered that when I go into the Windows Components window (via Control Panel, Add/remove software), the entire windows stays blank (first it says "Wait a few moments..."). This only lasts a few seconds then shows a complete empty window.
Unable To Open Attachments In Windows Mail: Windows Cannot Find File Name
Jul 29, 2009There are discussions on this general subject but no aparent resolution. About two months ago I was sometimes prevented from opening photo attachments on some emails received from the same party and sometimes could open them. By this I mean, I would click on the paperclip where a list of photos would appear and I'd click on on photo and I'd get a message saying: "Windows cannot find file name (photo captions used by sender).jpg. Make sure your typed the name correctly and then try again." Well, of course I didn't type the file name; the sender did. I could click on the save attachments, and once saved to a folder I could open them from the folder. I forwarded the mail to others, and they report no problems in viewing the photos. I can also view the photos in the email itself, but it would be necessary to scan up and down and from left to right to view the whold photo and the caption would not appear.

Feb 25, 2009Just had this in my RSS Feed, thought it would be interesting. Announcing the Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 RC - Windows Vista Team Blog - The Windows Blog Quote: This week we are announcing that Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 has hit an important milestone in development: Release Candidate (RC).
Starting today, the RC of SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will be available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers to test prior to final release. In the very near future, we will be making the RC broadly available for anyone to download and test. You can expect another blog post from me when that happens. SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 include updates that have been delivered since the release of SP1, as well as support for new types of hardware and emerging standards. As we’ve described since we first talked about SP2, we’ve taken your feedback into account when developing SP2. Specifically, we expect SP2 to continue the security benefits of both products and simplify deployment for our customers. For an outline of changes in SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, check out the notable changes document. We are planning to release SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 in the second quarter of 2009.

Managed To Corrupt: Windows Defender, Windows Picture Viewer....
Nov 22, 2007I have been using Vista Ultimate x64 for the last 5 months and have to say it's been a massive learing curve due to its fragility - 4 full rebuilds in the last 4 months - and not much fun when using SATA RAID. Anyway, got up yesterday morning, turned on the computer and it had managed to corrupt itself yet again: Windows Defender, Windows Picture Viewer and a host of desktop icons refused to find their pathways home and so decided against a full rebuild and started the repair option with a boot to the DVD. I set this off running and went to work at 12:30pm...
I came back 5 hours later and still had the dialog box " Finalising Registry" running on my screen! Well, a quick restart and i tried the upgrade option once back in Vista from the DVD. This then took and unbelievable 7 hours to complete and was finally ready - after updates - at 01:20am this morning, but a full clean install would have taken about 1-2 hours to finish, so i'll be doing that in future!.........
