Hi

I have a HP Pavilion dv6137tx (dv6000t series) notebook computer running Windows XP Home Premium Edition (clean install over Windows XP Media Center Edition). By default, the integrated web camera is not recognized by Windows Vista so I have to install the firmware update for the camera, after which it does work in Vista but when I restart the computer, I get a blue screen error for the following file:

r5u870flx.sys

The only way out of this is to start Safe Mode with Command Prompt and rename the two files r5u870flx86.sys and r5u870fux86.sys in c:\windows\system32\drivers\ to r5u870flx86.sys.old and r5u870fux86.sys.old. The system then boots normally.

I have read all of the posts on this subject but they really do not help me. I have a dell computer that had Windows Xp Media Center on it. As part of my deal I got the free upgrade to Vista. Instead of doing research on Vista first though I just...

I am returning a computer I bought and I manually installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it BUT I have to format the hard drive and return the computer to Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 before returning it. Vista Ultimate cost a WHOLE lot and I don't want to have to throw it away because I installed it on a computer that won't ever use it. What do I do? Is there a way to "transfer" registration from one computer to the next?

I currently have a Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition computer that is Vista Capable. As a result I have a Microsoft Windows Vista Express Upgrade Disc, so my quesstion is that if I want to upgrade my current windows to Vista, and prior to that if I backup my Computer Setting/Files to a drive or something, will I be able to have to have the exact same programs/settings/files back in my Windows Vista after?

Please Help

I installed Windows Vista over Windows XP Media Center Edition. I naturally lost my printer driver for my HP Photosmart 125 printer. I attempted to install a 1200 series printer driver through Windows Vista and tried to print a test page. The 1200...

Ok i recently purchased a windows vista premium laptop and i want to connect it to my windows xp media center pc so i cna transfer files form one hard drive to the other. How can you do this or is it possible between the two OS's.

My old laptop is broken (sort of because im using it right now) And don't want windows vista but a Windows XP Media Center edition 2005

Prior to buying Vista Home Premium, I upgraded to new motherboard, new CPU (Intel Core 2 e6600), new video card, big power supply, 4GB ram...well, an entire new computer. I ran the pre-install advisor and removed a couple of programs as recommended.

First I tried the upgrade path from Windows XP Media Center Edition...wanting to keep my software and settings in place. The install started out OK...I saw a message on screen that said this could take several hours, so I went away...and came back the next morning. I had a blank screen and and no activity from the computer...just fan noise. I powered down and re-booted...same result. Again I reboot and choose windows install at the final screen...get the message that the install failed - and went back to XP.
