Re: Program Files and Setting in Upgrade to Vista Ultimate

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Last week I purchased windows vista ultimate upgrading my current system
from windows vista home premium. After installation my hard drive stayed
the same size and all my files were in the windows.old file. I could
understandably move all my files and documents but my programs and files
are no longer installed on my computer. Some of my programs will not
operate anymore and I need help moving my programs and files permanently
without having to reinstall every program.

I'm sorry but you will need to reinstall the programs. It's the only way to
get the correct references into the registry.
