I've recently upgraded my desktop from windows vista to windows 7(today in fact) and when it got done installing and my system re-booted, whenever i right clicked on any windows explorer related windows, or the desktop itself, It stopped responding and it had to restart windows explorer. I've restarted several times and even �sfc /scannow� doesn�t give anything.
View 5 RepliesI've been looking for a way to solve this problem but I've haven't found anything.. When ever i right click on a icon on my desktop (games, firefox, etc) a quick error box pops up and quickly goes away, so i don't actually have a chance to see the error and the menu that normaly comes up when right clicking doesn't open. But when i right click on the background, the menu pops up no problem..

Windows 7 synaptics left click acts like right click after reboot and the right click doesn't work at all. I've downloaded the most recent driver & searched for a solution online but haven't found anyone who has fixed this issue. Did everyone just give up or am I not patient enough & haven't dug deep enough. If I use a USB mouse there are no problems it just seems to be with the built-in after I've used the USB mouse.

Disk runs but machine hangs up. Nothing happens. Placed disk in cd drive of machine 1 and it performs as it should.
I have updated the driver for disk drive. Other disks which I have tried in the cd drive seem to operate correctly.

I really want to install Windows 7 on this machine so both machines appear the same.
I have an Acer Aspire M5100 Desktop that was running Vista 32 bit. I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 and am now stuck. I think it is either a problem with BIOS or with an incompatible graphics driver. After the upgrade process (I did not do a clean install), when the computer rebooted for the last time, the screen went black and it it did not advance past a certain point. The error message read, cannot boot from CD.
Since then, when I turn on my computer, the screen goes to black. That's it. If I push delete, I can access BIOS. Even when the boot priority is the CD Rom, nothing happens. I cannot access a GUI to make changes to drivers, etc. With all of the known incompatibilities this computer has with Windows 7, it probably would be best to return to Vista. Ideally, without a clean install because of all the software and files on the computer. But I understand a clean install might be necessary.
How do I use my Vista recovery CD when there is no GUI accessible? Can I do this through the BIOS menu? I am not good with command prompt coding, so if that is mandatory. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact computer specs, again because there is no GUI. The best I can do is this Acer website: Acer Support: Aspire M5100 Specifications.

After following this guide, I went ahead and download the latest version of my display driver.
I've got the ATI Radeon HD 3870 just FYI.
When I opened the download and tried to install it, at about 1% of the installation my computer just immediately failed and restarted. I've tried it twice, and it's done the exact same thing both times. Is it that I don't need the upgrade or something? I've made sure to download the exact same driver as the one I have (x32 Radeon 3870).
I cannot install SP1, I keep getting error code 80073712 error. I've done the update readiness tool successfully, sfcscan with unrepairable errors, manual SP1 install.

I have already uninstalled Windows OneCare (virus protection). However, when Windows 7 was installing, my Spyware Doctor opened up and I had to click "yes" on it for the Spyware Doctor box to go away. Do you think that could have caused the upgrade to fail? I had turned off Spyware Doctor, but I'm thinking I should uninstall it before trying Windows 7 again. What do you all think?

Problem reports where making the rounds shortly after the final release of the Windows 7 operating system. It is not unusual that some users report problems when installing a new operating system or upgrading their old OS to a new one. Windows 7 in this regard did not get a lot of bad press except for a problem that got reported quite frequently by Windows Vista users who tried to perform an upgrade to Windows 7. These Windows Vista users were experiencing an error at exactly 62% of the update.
Windows performed an automatic rollback to Windows Vista at this point leaving the user puzzled and confused. Some users even experienced an endless reboot problem which would initiate the upgrade process again only to fail again at 62%.
Microsoft has released a Fix-It solution for the problem that the Vista to Windows 7 upgrade hangs at 62%. Fix-It solutions are one-click solutions that will correct a problem that was experienced by the user before. In this case the Vista user needs to click on the Fix-It button on the Microsoft support website after the upgrade failed at 62% to fix the issue and initiate the upgrade again.
Experienced users can also fix the problem manually by following the steps detailed at the very same support page:To resolve this problem yourself, follow these steps:
1. Restart the computer. Then, your computer will roll back to Windows Vista.
2. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
4. Under System variables, click New.
5. Type MIG_UPGRADE_IGNORE_PLUGINS in the Variable name field.
6. Type IphlpsvcMigPlugin.dll in the Variable value field.
7. Click OK three times to close the dialog boxes.
8. Start the upgrade installation again.
Hopefully this fix will help those that have been having issues with the upgrade process.
