| 522766 | 2007-02-05 01:44:00 | Hi, This makes me look dumber than I really am- and that is relative :D but- I downloaded a program that would show me if my computer would take Vista- for curiosity purposes only, as I am well satisfied with Windows XP Pro---I was told to take the key as shown in a small window and post it to my clipboard- I did that but where do I find that clipboard ?and how do I retrieve it to carry on installing this adviser? no search can find this- but I am stuck on how to retrieve the asked for code from the clipboard anyway :blush: :lol: Effie C |

| 522767 | 2007-02-05 01:57:00 | Ah, where did u get this adviser program from?? Did u get it from the MS site?? AFAIK, you don't need a key to install the MS Vista adviser. Well I didn't have to put one in. |

| 522768 | 2007-02-05 02:19:00 | Ah well Effie - you and I are in the same category - dummies ;) I downloaded Vista advisor from the MS site and it asked me to instal the .NET Framework, before it could continue. Hey Speedie how do I instal that, or where do I find it please?? Thanks Smithie |

| 522769 | 2007-02-05 02:23:00 | I think you are confusing the upgrade advisor with the Windows Genuine Advantage EXE validator (for browsers other than IE). Download the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor here (download.microsoft.com). |

| 522770 | 2007-02-05 02:24:00 | Hi Speedy G, I got that "adviser" - I thought from the windows site- I must be deteriorating mentally but I was directed there,as a m/s site I don't have any malware etc - scanned at least twice a week- but well before Christmas I tried and apparently had the- adviser downloaded-already - also from Ms-- Really this question is academic as I sure like W xp Pro, and unless I could afford it in th enear future I doubt I wil be able to or need to go Vista Effie c |

The usual "Highlight the text, Control-C" to Copy, then click where you want to put the text and use Control-V to Paste. Cheers, MistyCat |

| 522775 | 2007-02-05 03:29:00 | Hi Effie. When I downloaded the advisor through Firefox I got the request to instal .NET Framework. But the download took about 2 seconds flat. However when I downloaded it through IE it took nearly 5 mins so that includes the .NET Framework. Cheers Smithie |
