Hi, when I am updating from Windows Home Edition to Pro Edition, I keep receiving a blue screen saying I have an error, and Windows will restart. It then prompts me to scan for viruses, but I have already and none have come up. Can anyone please help? Thanks.
what is on the blue screen?? does is say something like a x0 code or fault?? maybe it's some hardware that's not proper installed or incompatible??
had a sortlike problem last week. problem was I installed the XP pro using a newer typ of screen and when i plugged another older screen in the pc .. it gave a blue screen. changed the video card to a compatible one for the screen and problem solved can u see what's on the blue screen
w0rd! Rowny's right, we need to know the error code before we can help, there's a VERY wide variety of reasons this can be happening, likely there'll be a 0x########## error code or an all cap error like PAGED_DATA_IN_NONPAGING_AREA in the top left corner that will illuminate the matter. ~Krelian
you can not update home to pro easily.. you need to back everything up and do a fresh install.. if you don't do this you will always have problems..
Hey guys. Thanks for the responses. I couldn't connect until I got it fixed. It magically worked when I restarted the fourth time, but I cannot remember the error code off the top of my head. But, updating was actually quite easy. The only thing I had to reinstall were my ethernet drives.
umm unless you need to connect to a domain there was no need to go from home to pro in the 1st place!
I just had a Windows XP disc I got at school, which enabled me to choose between home and professional. Since I had home, I thought I would go with professional, since it's a bit faster.
I've heard annoying things about XP home in general when it comes to connecting to networks. I'm still in 2k land, so no probs for me!
