Windows 7 Installation, Setup, and Deployment | Forum profile

First, please restart the computer, and take out off the Windows 7 DVD, then test if you can boot in windows Vista. If you can't, please insert your Vista Installation DVD to boot from this DVD to the Windows Recovery Environment, then choose Startup repair. Then restart your computer to test if you can boot in Vista. Once you can boot in Vista, please upload the log files as soon as possible. I hope this can help you. Sincerely! 

I don't get asked this but I have one local account defined under OOBE\UserAccounts\LocalAccounts which might be why. Try adding an account here and see what happens?

As you may already know they can perform a complete install without the need for entering a key code. Just skip the keycode and unckeck the 'Activation' box. However once they have Admin priv. it's easy to install a keycode utility and get any and all keycodes for Windows and most apps you have installed.

Hi Eric, I would start by upgrading and/or resetting the BIOS settings to the default and disconnect all but the necessary devices (keyboard + maybe a mouse) and see if the installation comes through then. Similar case was resolved by disconnecting the internent access. In addition, ask Acer if your PC's devices are fully compatible with windows 7. To avoid data loss and be able to boot into system, you can perform clean install on...

Hi Dave It's definitely a driver issue, I doubt that IE8 would be causing this particular problem. Doing some quick research, it looks like that particular onboard chipset has not been supported with updated drivers since around 2002? I think it might be time to invest in an add-in audio card, if you have an open slot on that motherboard. Go to the following website and search for "Audio". Windows 7 Compatibility...

Hi David, Yes, I do mean a Repair Install but I would rather suggest performing a clean install of Windows 7 in order to save your times and effort. :) Before performing that, please first backup all you files and data to an external hard drive or other partitions. Alternatively, you can run Windows Easy Transfer to do the backup. After that, you need to purchase a full version of Windows 7 and perform a Clean Install. Good Luck!

Hi,   First, if you purchase 3 copies, the installation disks you got are totally same. So you can use one disk to install systems on all of your 3 computers --- just input the different product keys.   For discount, as it is different based on your location, I recommend contacting your local store for exact information.   Here is the Microsoft Store website. And here is the Microsoft Customer Service information:   Microsoft Customer...

1. Vista will uninstall automatically. 2. If you do an in place upgrade, yes. (but you should still backup your files just in case something goes wrong - which is rare) If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can in place upgrade directly to Windows 7 and in other cases you will need to perform a custom installation. The following table shows which editions of Windows Vista can be in place upgraded to Windows 7. If you're...

1. Delete XP partition. You may also want to create or extend exisiting partitions to fill up the now unused space. In a dual-boot scenario like this, the boot files for BCD (aka win7) will be on the XP partition, so deleting the XP partition makes win7 unbootable, but all is not lost. 2. Boot into your win7 install DVD and choose to repair startup problems. This will reinstall the BCD boot files for win7, this will get you back into win7.
