Windows 7 upgrade

on Friday, January, 01, 2010 5:19 PM
So I decided to kick off the new year right by using a free Windows 7 upgrade disc that came with my computer. Everything's gone smooth so far, but I'm on the step where it says it's "Gathering files, settings, and programs", and it's going so slow that at the current rate of speed it will literally take two more days for it to finish this step. Has something gone wrong?

I think I should also mention that the upgrade program was making no progress at all unless I moved the USB mouse. I have since unplugged said mouse and it has been proceeding at this sluggish pace since then. I mention this because I remember that some time ago, achilles mentioned issues with the XPSP3 installer crashing and we concluded it was the USB mouse. I currently have a USB keyboard plugged in. Could this be causing issues, as well?

EDIT 1: Tried unplugging keyboard abd that (oddly enough) seemed to halt the progress. Plugging it back in fixed it, though. Also, a recalculation confirmed that it will finish this step at around 4:30 in the morning, as opposed to two days, lol.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Don't get me wrong on this tron.dll it is not towards you personally. I have always heard people having problems with the upgrade process where it is acting up like in your situation. And I hope that you have also backed up your important data files as well there too. I know I did try going from windows 3.1 to windows 95 and found it messy and crude and extremely bloated too after finding out was was still left from the upgrade.

Nowadays. I usually find the full installation of any OS either linux or windows. And just reformat the hard drive from scratch after backing up the data and the essential files that I need. As well mark down and download the device drivers for for windows 7 as well for it. or for linux if they are not already detected when being installed.

Because that is not nrmal at all. I just installed windos 7 on a lenovo thinkcenter 8212-u12 system and it took me with the format about little bit under an hour. Mind you the thing flies when it loads up windos 7.

Yeah, it's understandable that I might lose files. I didn't have any important files on there, though; It's a relatively new computer.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I'm afraid that what you're experiencing is just par for the course, when you upgrade rather than do a clean install.

Especially if you have a lot of programs and personal settings that need to be transferred over to the new Windows 7 installation. And the less free hard drive space, the worse it gets.

I've been reading about that. :/

Now it's at 87 percent (on the same gathering files step), and it's been stalled on 376310/442790 files for an hour.

Is it safe for me to exit out of the upgrade at this point so I can start over with a clean install?

This may not help any, were other applications were running during the upgrade? it's possible that would be an issue with windows, seems to me MS requires you to do so...

Started the upgrade again. This time, on gathering files, it has a total of 20141 files as opposed to the 400-thousand-something last time. Currently appears to be stalled at 19123/20141 files and says it's only at 18%...

When in doubt low level format and start all over again from scratch. I know that you had mentioned that hre were no important files on there. But in cases like this Tron.dll. I've been through the ringer on this one. I learnt it twice on two different operating systems. Once in windows and once in linux. You'll dave a lot of headaches on this. if you have a full version of windows 7. Go through the full install. I think I also remember reading somewehere out on the internet there is a wy to use update version to do a full install. Let me take a look into that one again some where here. and I'll send you the private link to it. It has been kbown that you can circumvent certain things like this when using an upgrade and make it think that it is upgrading the current where in fact your doing a full install instead of an update.

Yeah, there was a "custom" option that, if used, would reformat the drive.

That is usually the best way of doing and easier. since you never know or what to expect when you use the upgrade. Something may go a wry in cases like this.

I give up. Vista is better than this POS installation program.
