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?

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

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.

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.

Incidentally, I downloaded it (seven times) using Firefox, as I
