Microsoft has made a great impression on an Apple Mac user. So much so that I will be installing Vista on his Mac this afternoon. I am so excited by this that I can barely contain myself. Convert them one Vista installation at a time!
View 6 RepliesI have been running Windows Vista Ultimate for the last 60 days or so (using the trial period) but I am quickly coming up to the end of the 120 days trial period. I have now purchased Window Home premium. Is there anyway to "convert" my existing Vista Ultimate install to my Windows Home version?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer just died, with a complex Vista installation on a 250 GB drive. I have a replacement unit on its way, but is there any way to transfer the drive with the Vista install to the new computer and get a working system? My Vista is a full retail copy. I'm now working on XP from my backup machine, an old Dell Optiplex GX200, with a 733 MHZ P3 that's not capable of running Vista. I could reinstall Vista, but would lose an awful lot of data and installed programs.

Running Vista Home Premium with an NVidia 8800 GTX video card. Have SP1 installed but do not have Acceleration. Trying to install SP2 but it won't install. I first tried clicking "Run", and then also tried downloading the patch to the desktop and then running, but it simply will not install...just cancels itself. I disabled McAfee VS before trying to install, but results still the same. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to get this to work? I looked on this board and MS site, and so far have found no other mentions of this problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is a simple way to take your Vista Installation Disc and use it to create a custom installation disc that also includes updated drivers and updated hotfixes. The goal would be that during a clean install, those updated drivers and Windows Updates are installed automatically.
For a specific example, I use a USB Wireless Adapter. If I could create a custom windows disc that includes those drivers, then I my USB Wireless Adapter would be recognized and I could therefore allow Windows to connect to the Internet during Setup to see if there are any hotfixes and updates.
I have hp laptop with Vista Home Premium (OEM) installed. I've made Recovery Disks using the Recover Manager. I wish to have a clean install of Vista instead of using the Recovery Disks. I've read previous threads but I have to say I am only getting more confused.
- Can I perform clean install of my Vista OEM?
- Can I use any copy of Vista OEM cd and use the Product Key sticked behind my laptop?.........
I needed to temporarily install XP so i formatted the drive. Now my question is, will I need to take out 2GB for the Vista installation this time? I know that if you install Vista through windows then it will check for "Vista updates" before the installation -- is this one of the updates that it checks for?

I have changed my motherboard and processor (dual core). The old motherboard was corrupted. Vista Ultimate upgrade version, not OEM, didn't work anymorrow. I tried to reinstall Vista. System refused to reïnstall, because it was an upgrade version. Then I tried to reïnstall my original Windows XP version. This was unsucessfull because Windows XP don''t support Dual Core! What do do? Going tomorrow to the shop and buy a new Vista?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had been running Vista since it came out last year with no compatible issues at all. However, there were several issues with performance and finally late last year I gave up and went back to XP. Now that the SP1 is available, I want to go back and install Vista, but for some reason, my computer won't recognize the disc. It trys, but just can't load it. I've tried other DVDs and have burned a couple and they all work fine. For whatever reason, the problem is with the Vista DVD.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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'

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am new to windows Vista, but have allready looked around a good bit and am certainly not a newbie on a computer. I have encountered an installation problem that just baffles me and I can't find any information on it. I want to install the Live Essential package with the wlsetup-web.exe from the download page for windows live. That would be as simple as to run the installer and done. Only this one pops up a small window. I have installed a lot of other programs, so it is not with every installer. I have this only with this installer. Does anybody know what the installation executable is looking for. I would like to add that the full package download also shows the same behavior. I have two installations of Windows Vista Home Premium x64 and on the second machine I have no problem installing the live applications. The simple conclusion is that the concerning Vista installation is corrupted in some way.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to check the memory for errors BEFORE I load/install Windows Vista Home Premium x64 to avoid install hang-ups. Can you make an ISO CD of this program, load it in your CD/DVD drive and check your memory for errors? I recently updated the BIOS on the board (DP35DP) and it does show all of the 4GB of Kingston ValueRam PC800 1.8v (2x2gb) installed. I have good reason to believe that it's from a respectable manufacturer. Just want to make sure the memory is good before I load up the OS.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI purchased a PC with Vista Home Premium preinstalled. It came with no
media. The product key is on the side of the PC and nearly illegible.
I purchased a DVD to upgrade from Home Premium to Vista Ultimate. With
help from the PC manufacturer's download site, I was able to upgrade
to Vista Ultimate 32-bit error free. I still have no installation
media. I wish to install Vista 64 bit. (To best of my understand
upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit is not possible, only clean install or
custom install). I'm a little confused by my interaction with Windows
site at:
[URL]
I cannot seem to obtain the option to order 64-bit media, but I am
given an option to order the 32-bit installtion media which I do not
yet own, only the upgrade media. Do I first need to order the 32-bit
media before I am eligible for the 64-bit media? Do I need to wait for
delivery? Can I order 32-bit media and 64-bit media and put it all on
one credit card transaction?
I have vista 64 and ive been trying to install intels 8.3.1.1009 chipset drivers(inf).
Ive tried downloading from intel and gigabyte. same version which "DOES SUPPORT VISTA 64"
problem is , it runs the installation process ok but after reboot i check device manager and the same drivers are there? it doesnt seem to want to install the newer drivers?
The older drivers are outdated so i need the newer versions since i do like to overclock.
Gigabyte told me its a vista issue and a common one. and that i have to contact microsoft for an answer.
i want to reformat my laptop. it originally had xp but i upgraded to vista home premium, if i reformat, can i use the vista upgrade again? on the box it says one installation on one pc. anyone shed any light for me
View 6 Replies View RelatedHere's what I've run into. Installed Vista Ultimate x64 on my harddrive and ran into a problem with my motherboard (Intel DP45SG). End result was that I could not boot my original installaton of Vista. BIOS related. Tried all of the recovery options and none of them worked. Bit the bullet and reinstalled Vista fresh. Unfortunately I did not see the option to format the old info when I did this. This caused the old OS to be moved to it's own partition on my harddrive.
This old info on it's partition is only visible on Paragon Partition Manager 9 and not in Vista's Disk Management. Vista shows my harddrive as 936 GB instead of 1,000GB. I do not seem to have any way of accessing this partition or of getting rid of it. Paragon PM shows the partition as being unformated. When I try to format it or delete it with Paragon PM I get a message that this can only be done with the Recovery CD. This partition does not show up in the Recovery CD when it's run. I don't want to give up 70gp of hard drive room just the hell of it!!
if someone could give me some guidance on the following problem. A few days back, it looked like I might have to reload Vista. When I put the supplied Vista DVD in the either of the 2 optical drives, the operating system appeared to boot up as normal from the hard disc. When I go into Setup, the boot order is as follows:-
1.CD-ROM
2.SONY DVD ROM
3.HARD DISK
This is a bit strange as the 2 optical drives that are fitted are
SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615.
SAMSUNG SH-S183 DVD/CD WRITER.
The SAMSUNG was fitted by the company I bought the pc from about 3 months after the purchase because the original SONY DVD Writer would only burn CD'S & not DVD's. The Sony was EIDE but the SAMSUNG is SATA. The Bios does'nt appear to give any details about the SAMSUNG drive so it seems its not been included in the list of boot devices & I do not know how to fix that.....
i have a quistion... my laptop .came without cd installation .. saw what can i do ? and already i installed sp1 on it .. but i want to make a copy also?
