My system tells me that an update is ready for installation. It turns out to be Service Pack1 KB976932. It loads and installs. On reset, the system stalls on �Starting Windows� with that fuzzy MS colors icon on the screen. 10 minutes later I press Alt,CTRL,DEL� nothing happens. I press NumLock, no light change, so I do a hard reboot.��Launch Start Up Repair� is reported. Then �Unable to Start, Searching for problems� as the progress bar indicator sweeps across. It times out and asks �Do you want to Restore�, I hit OK and the progress bar indicator sweeps across again. This goes on for about 15 minutes.�Cannot Repair Automatically� and when I hit OK, the system turns off.On redstart, it boots fully and is probably in the same arrangement as before this whole session. This is the third time I have run through this process.

I got it all installed and the activation key wouldn't work.Long story short I got the upgrade version on accident. So I got that refunded and I'm about to just go buy Home Premium. I need to install it. Do I need to uninstall Pro before I install Home Premium? Or will it just get rid of it for me when I install it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two laptops - a new one with Win 7 HP 32bit and an old one with Win 7 HP 64 bit
The new one with Win 7 HP 32bit came with 4gb of ram which is a bit silly since 32bit Win 7 HP can only use 3gb of that, but from what I understand, the serial on the underside can also be used to activate the 64bit version, which would recognise all the ram
Now, even though I've paid for two Win 7 HP licenses, I don't actually have a Win 7 disc, only the factory reset discs (which I had to burn myself when I first turned on the computer - which is pretty shocking really!!!)
But I digress. Is there any way Win 7 HP 64bit on my new laptop WITHOUT paying for it (again) I know XP let you make custom (slipstreamed) XP discs from installations but I can't find a way to do it in Win 7
There is some debate in my class about if one can put an upgrade disc on a new hdd? Where there is no recent OS installed at all.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi decided to bring over my big backup drive last night. after connecting it i was getting some strange happenings. icons in the taskbar to the left were missing and the clock moved up to October. i then noticed problems with web certificates for gmail and google and other sites as well. it was quite frustrating! i was glad to figure out it was the clocks fault. but i am still feeling the the effects. games i play on the net don't seem to be following that the clock is alright. they continue to complain about invalid certificates and whatnot. i'm having problems reinstalling flash too. it's amazing how much of a problem this caused and is still causing! i hate to be rushy but i want to get a hold of these things as soon as i can. but i know it takes patience too. i'm not sure what else to do. luckily the offline installer for flash seems to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLoading Windows 7 on a new computer. Trying to sort out this raid issue. Computer is :
Gigabyte GA-EP45T-Extreme
Processor : Intel Quad Q9400 LGA775
Ram : 4gb
Hard Drives : 3 x 1 Tb Seagate
Video Card : Radeon HD 4890
I've enabled the raid 5 in the BIOS. I've downloaded the driver from the Gigabyte Disc onto a flash drive. When I load Windows 7 it says " Windows cannot be installed to this disc. This computers hardware may not support booting to this disc. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computers BIOS menu". I've checked and rechecked the BIOS. I also downloaded the MSM64 Driver in the Gigabyte disc and that the one I copied to the flash drive.
So I have an bit of an odd and I think unique problem (as many searches came up with no solutions). Simply put, my boot manager is missing, but only when my windows install disc is not in the disc drive. It started several months ago and I just left it be, let the disc it int he disc drive and it was not that big of a deal. But just did a clean install couple days ago I re-installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my computer (using an upgrade disc if that makes a difference).I formatted the drive with what I guess is a quick format (the option the install disc gives you). I have tried doing a repair with the install disc but no problems are found every time I try.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed the OEM version of Windows 7, which came with all the basic drivers, but looking at the dxdiag box, my version of the graphics card I have is much older than the one on the ATI website.
I have the ATI Radeon HD 2400 - 1GB the version in dxdiag says 8.632
The latest is v9.9
But I cant seem to remove the old driver to update it, and I know this is incorrect, but should I just install the new one?
I bought a HP Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I got rid of any bloatware and as I'm typing this, Macrium is imaging my C drive to a network drive. Now my question is, would I be able to completely format the computer, set up my own partitions and install Windows on one of them? Preferably a fresh and clean version but I wouldn't mind the bloatware one either. Things to consider, I don't have a disk-drive so it'd have to be done with a thumbdrive; I have not been able to find the actual O/S product key, if someone could tell me where to locate it.
