W7 Upgrade Advisor

XP runs the advisor with no problems. Vista, being a piece of trash, will
not run the advisor, even under compatibility mode. Any ideas on how to
get it running?

If Vista is a "piece of trash" then you don't need to worry about Vista now
do you? Stupid question.

Oddly enough, it runs fine here - as I'm sure it does for most
everyone else.

You might be suffering from a hex placed on you by an ex girlfriend.

Stupid answer. I want to upgrade my Vista to W7 and eliminate XP. I keep
Vista to run 1 or 2 programs that do not run under XP. I have used Vista
only a few times since getting XP running in December, but still need to
keep it. I want to make sure everything is in order before pre-ordering
W7.

Ex girlfriend was over 30 years ago. Also no hex's allowed here.

If your system can't handle the upgrade as it currently is, then
you'll have to upgrade your hardware.

Mine is in that situation: Win7 doesn't like its SATA drivers.

 

runs fine on my vista business box....but then again so does 7 after getting
the results back from the advisor.. I did nothing more than download and and
run it. no compatibility mode or anything

I too have not been able to get it to run on my box, with Vista Home
Premium. I really want to see what it would say so that I can make a
decision between giving MS another chance and biting the bullet by
switching to Apple.I have been running Vista for a little over 13 months
and I have never seen any software--mainframe IBM 1401, 360/370), mini
(IBM and Wang), PC (MS and various pre-IBM machines)--that has given so
much trouble.

You must have a crap computer or a screwed up (probably by you) OS or both.

Compaq F767NR laptop, a much better system than my son's and his is running
W7 much better than Vista. Like Allen, though, I have SATA drives and want
to make sure it will run properly. I have had nothign but trouble with
Vista from the start. Dual booting to XP has been great, but not supported
by the manufacturer, thanks to Micro$$$oft's threats. It is funny how teh
few machines out there still offered with XP are selling for about $100
MORE than them. I understand that M$ is backtracking and again supporting
XP.

That is what I want to find out ahead of time, but the Advisor will not
run. I click Start Check and it just sits there.

In my case I let it run for 17 hours (overnight). At the end, Task
Manager still said it was running--but not using any resources.
Instead of just laughing at those of us for whom it won't work, why
doesn't someone actually make some suggestions about how to make it
work? Incidentally, I downloaded it (seven times) using Firefox, as I
avoid IE like the plague that it can be. And once when I tried to remove
it, it messed up the install/uninstall "feature".

I believer it is the same stupid mentality of those who actually think
Obama is going a great job, even though he put a deliberate tax evader in
charge of the IRS, abortionist employee governor in charge of the
Department of Health and Human Services, nominated a bigot for a Supreme
Court justice, and is doing more of what caused the economic crisis in the
first place (just the tip of the Hitler-modeling party animal president).
Even though scores of people are having mega-problems with Vista, there is
nothing wrong with it. You are just too stupid to run it correctly or are
lying about your problems with it from the very start of using it, even
though you have no problems at all with XP or 2000.

Maybe you should ask Rush Limbaugh or his buddy Ann for computer
advice. That seems to be where you get your news.

With this kind of attitude you don't have to be surprised when people
respond in the way they do, because in your case it definitely isn't Vista's
fault. Something went wrong with the installation and must be corrected.
If your hardware is compatible and you installed correctly, the adviser will
work. If you prefer, you can always uninstall/delete it.

The last time I checked the W7 advisor is was in Beta, the final version to
be released at a later date.

I did not install it. It was installed by the manufacturer. Wake up and
smell the trash! LOTS of people have LOTS of problems with Vista. That is
why XP is still popular! I have no problem with XP, but lots of problems
with Vista. In the time it takes me to shut down and restart XP, Vista is
still shutting down. I have never had automatic restarts with XP, but lots
of them with Vista, at least 3 times a week. I have never had daily
program lockups like I did with Vista. Yes, Vista has lots of nice
features, but it is UNSTABLE and does NOT work on many computers. I
started out on computers on an early version of DOS (I *might* even have
the 5.25 floppies around somewhere). I taught my son and he taught his
computer teacher in high school (he had a whole semester's worth of work
done in about 2-3 weeks). I have dealt with every version of Windows from
2.1 to Vista and beta tested NT. Nothing has given me the problems that
Vista does.
