Use VISTA Windows Mail In Win7

Apr 30, 2009

a little tip here as I HATE webmail based type of email clients. I was quite happy with Outlook express and Windows mail.

This tip works on both X-86 and x-64 versions.

1) Take ownership of the windows mail folder (it's in program files or program files (x86) depending which version of W7 you are running.

2) delete contents of the folder.

3) copy your old VISTA windows mail folder to the windows mail folder on W7

4) make a shortcut link to winmail.exe

5) set up your accounts like on Vista / Outlook express in XP

6) enjoy.

Transfer Win7 To New Drive

Jan 4, 2010

My current hard drive has been getting wonky on me. About a month ago it came up with bad sectors. Replaced them with backup sectors. Nothing bad has happen since then, and I scan almost every day just in case. I am considering buying a new 1TB just because it will be newer, and faster. This disk is getting a lot of read/write errors and takes a while to do some stuff now.

My question is, does anyone know if it is possible to transfer your windows 7 partitions to a new drive directly without using a 3rd drive as a medium. The hard drive I am using is 750gb, and as I said, I am getting a 1TB. So does anyone know an easy way I can just plug in the new drive, use software to copy over Windows 7 to the new drive and it still work?

I know Windows 7 installed 2 partitions, so that is what is confusing me. Because I can not even see the other partition it uses.

PS: I have all my files backed up on 2 other drives. So don't worry about that.

Transfer Programs From Vista To Win 7

Jan 10, 2009

But I installed Windows 7 64 with the dual boot option, and have Vista 32 as my regular OS. Is there any way to transfer the programs from the Vista partition over to the Win 7 partition without re-installing each and every program?

On a related note - is there a way to transfer my old desktop from Vista over to Win 7 just the way it is?

Could I Upgrade From Vista 32-bit To Win7 64-bit ?

Aug 7, 2009

I ordered the 50$ Windows 7 upgrade disk.

I realize that Windows 7 will need vista or XP already installed for the upgrade version of Windows 7.

But if I want to upgrade my Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit,

Will I be able to do it with this upgrade disk?

after all I will need a fresh install (because 32 to 64) and this is the upgrade version.

XP To Win7 - Upgrade To Vista 1st ?

Oct 6, 2009

I have an unused Vista upgrade that came with my purchase of a Dell XPS laptop running XP MCE 2005. Rather than having to backup files and then reinstall apps for a clean install of 7, would it make sense to run the Vista upgrade, deal with the Vista driver issues then, and be able to do an upgrade to 7?

Upgrade From X86 Vista To X64 Win7

Mar 16, 2009

I plan to upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium x86 to Windows Seven Home Premium x64 when it is released. However, I only want to pay for an upgrade license, NOT a full price version.

My current version of Vista Home Premium is itself an upgrade from the original OEM copy of XP that came on my PC.

There are two ways as far as I can see:

i) Vista Home Premium x86 > Vista Home Premium x64 > Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (first stage done using an alternate media which I have just paid GBP 7 to be delivered shortly.

ii) Vista Home Premium x86 > Windows 7 Home Premium x86 > Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (first stage using an x86 retail upgrade, second stage using alternate media obtained after buying the retail x86 package).

However, looking at the following article:

Installation choices for 64-bit consumer versions of Windows Vista

it reveals that the steps are likely to be even more complex. For example, my option i) becomes:Uninstall Vista altogether Reinstall my original Dell x86 copy of XP Home Edition. Use the Vista alternative media to do an upgrade installation of Vista Home Premium x64. Then do an upgrade installation of Windows x64 on top of that. Extremely messy, and almost certain to end in tears!

It would be nice if MS took the opportunity to provide a straightforward upgrade path from x86 to x64 this time around; until we know the upgrade options no one knows for sure I guess. However, does anyone know or suspect an easier method?

For example, with my x86 copy of Vista Home Premium in situ, could I install a clean copy of Vista Home Premium x64 on another partition by booting from the DVD, and then just do an upgrade install of Windows 7 x64 when it become available?

Upgrading From XP To Win7 Via Vista

Feb 11, 2010

I've been told that it is possible to maintain all ones applications and settings when upgrading from XP to windows 7, if you first upgrade XP to Vista and then the Vista to Windows 7. Can anyone verify that? It would be more time consuming but given the amount of apps I have installed and need, it is the best choice in my view. I have an old Vista disc somewhere so there is no extra expense.

Anyone done this before? or heard of it working?

Updated To Win7, Is My Mail Lost ?

Nov 14, 2009

1. I have already installed Windows 7 on top of the Vista system that previously on it.

2. The mail database was NOT on the boot "C" drive...it was on another partition (D drive.

3. After the successful conversion to Windows 7 home premium, I installed and started Win Live mail

4 Win live mail works ok.

5. From the Win live mail client running on the Windows 7 system, I tried to import the folders from the previous win mail client that I was using while running vista:

File->Import->Messages->Windows Mail->Next->WinMail database file name(D:Vista_Mail)->Next->All Folders->Next.

Import messages window appears and progress bar shows the folder names being processed and when it completes with NO error message, the followning appears in the win live mail import window:

"Import Complete"

"Your messages were imported in "Windows Mail format"".

I then clicked on "Finish"

There are 3 items on the win live mail pain labeled "imported folder", Imported folder (1)" and "Imported folder (2)".

Clicking on any of those 3 entries tells me "There are no items in this View"

I have tried to click on all of the items in the pane and see NO folders.

Computer Hanging In Win7 - Vista

Jul 2, 2009

Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with Vista on it had all sorts of issues. I cleaned them all up, but couldn't stop it from hanging. Seemingly random. Complete and permanent freeze requiring 10 seconds on the power button to restart.

Eventually decided to move to Win 7 RC. Formatted hard disk completely (with BootIt NG) before installing. Still having the same problem.

Memtest86 reports no issues (after 47 hours).

Chkdsk no errors.

sfc.exe no errors.

Hitachi dtf no errors (although it's a Toshiba drive).

All the regular spyware, adware, malware programs - no issues.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't seem to occur in Safe mode or when performing chkdsk, installing Windows, or anything else outside the main windows environment. This leads me to believe it's not hardware, but some system/software element common to both Vista and Windows 7?

I'm using a Lenovo 3000 N100. 1.73GHz, 1gig ram, 32 bit Win 7, version 6.1, build 7100.

Also, I'm currently trying to run a Windows Update from within Safe Mode With Networking, but it's not working. Should it be?

Dual Boot Vista 64 / Win7 64

Aug 17, 2009

I've been going at this all day searching, trial and error, and it's all very frustrating at this point.

I use a custom bootloader for my vista 64 to trick it to be activated (not sure your policy on discussing this). But now I wanted to try Windows 7 since it has been released in the RC status (because I had aquaintances try 7000 beta, and no one liked it). So I want to have it on my machine to tinker with and test it out.

I ended up taking my 300GB drive, and removing about 60GB from it, creating a logical partition, formatting it, then booted into the Windows 7 dvd I have. (win 7 - 7600)

Firstly, it takes about a couple minutes just to load the files. Then once it finally gets to the splash* screen and the cursor appears.....it takes about 5-10minutes for the "install" window to appear which seems VERY odd since my machine is VERY fast.

It takes quite a bit of time to accomplish installing from loading to finished (30minutes maybe), and by then it overwrites my bootloader for my VISTA installation (so its not activated anymore), and it shows WIN 7, and below that Vista 64. Read more at the forum...

Triple Boot XP, Vista, And Win7

May 10, 2009

I have four SATA II drives, four gig memory, etc, in my machine that have Windows XP and Vista dual-booting. Both OS's are installed on the same physical drives; about 150 gig each partition.

I've freed up one of the drives, changed the BIOS to boot from the DVD, and installed Windows 7, 64-bit. The installation completed without a hitch and the setup detected everything, sans the Viewsonic monitor. Windows did have a driver for the monitor, but I used the one for Vista 64-bit from Viewsonic and we are good.

After rebooting Windows 7, I expected to have couple of boot option but there's none. No XP and/or Vista, just Windows 7. I've tried to locate the bootmanager in Windows 7, but I couldn't find it and that worried me. There was no backup made since it should've picked up the other OS's.

I didn't touch any of the bootsectors, nor did Windows 7; the latter one did make the drive a primary disk and installed the boot record there. After modifying the BIOS, making the the XP/Vista drive the first drive to be booted, XP and Vista came back, but Windows 7 disappeared. I can boot either OS's by changing the order the drives are booted by the BIOS, but I rather have the choice for XP/Vista/7 in the boot menu.

I am not sure why Windows 7 didn't pick up on the other OS's; the reason could be the SATA drives, if I'd have to guess. Since "disk 1" was set as the first drive to boot by the BIOS, Windows 7 did not check other drives and declared itself the only OS.

The question is, how do I add Windows 7 to the Vista's boot menu, or alternatively, how do I add XP/Vista to 7's boot menu?

Networking Between Win7, Vista And WinXP

Oct 5, 2009

The problem I have is that none of my computers can access either of the Windows 7 computers. The Windows 7 computers can access the Vista and WinXP computers, but not the 2nd Windows 7 computer (asks for a user and password).

When trying to access the Windows 7 computers all ask for a user and password, I had set the Windows 7 computer to be open access for networking, but this does not seem to of happened (I've done something wrong).

I had installed Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder on my XP machine as advised but I got an error message saying I had a newer update so this was not installed.

I am now at a total loss as to where to go now, I have done heaps of google searches and these tried to help but still did not slove my problem. (I'm not computer dumb, so do understand 90% of what is required).
I have the following setup.

2x Windows 7 RC systems, hardwired.

2x WinXP-Pro systems, hardwired

1x WinXP-Pro Laptop, wireless

1x Vista Laptop, wireless.

No home server installed.

Vista 32 Bit To Win7 64 Bit With Upgrade Disc

Jan 20, 2010

I currently have vista 32 bit installed and was thinking of upgrading to windows 7 64 bit. From what I've read, it is possible to do this using the upgrade disc, but not with the in place upgrade. Wondering if anyone could explain how to do a proper clean install using the upgrade disc. Thanks.

BTW, I am running the home edition of vista and would be going to home premium of windows 7 if that makes any difference.
