Do you know the processor make and model of your machine?  Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?  Some processors may not be compatible with the 64-bit version of Win7 (if that's what you're trying to install).

Although I am a Program Manager at HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Please make it easier for other people to find solutions by selecting “Accept as Solution” if it solves your problem.

you can also download and run the upgrade advisor from Microsoft to check for any compatibility issues with the PC.  You may also have to upgrade the BIOS.  You check the product page for s3714 on HP.COM.  I found this document that talks about upgrading to Windows 7 and gives the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7.  Hope this helps.
