BootCamp or Parallels running Win XP & Win 2000 Pro on MacPro Xeon Chips?

I know that BootCamp (BC) only allows XP on the Mac. I currently run the MacMini (for testing) and the MacBook with Parallels using WIN XP and 2000 Pro. However, does anyone know if Parallels Desktop (PD) will run WIN 2000 on a MacPro since it now ships with the Intel Xeon chips as opposed to the Intel Core Duo chips recently shipped in the iMac, MacMini, and notebooks?

You'll probably want to address that question to Parallels. I can't see anything on their site that mentions the new Mac Pro, so you'll want to confirm with them that the current version of Parallels Desktop is compatible with the Mac Pro and if there are any limitations re. the OS versions Desktop can run.

  • Is possible connect XFi 2 to a PC desktop that run Win 2000 SP4?

    My brother bought the MP4 XFi 2 in USA. I come from Argentina and I?ve got a PC desktop that run Win2k SP4. Is possible connect XFi 2 with firmware compatible with Win XP SP2 to a PC desktop that run Win 2000 SP4. I only want to connect it to PC and submit files since and to PC. What problems could I have got? If I do that the PC would be able to recognize it or become instable? What do you think? Sorry my poor english but I speak spanish. I would very grateful if somebody answer and help me if it possible. Thanks.

    The HP Pavilion is a computer, and not a modem. Or rather it is a computer with a built-in modem. So you already have a computer to run your programs and no other computer is needed.
    About the display, a major advantage of the Thunderbolt display is a function of the Thunderbolt interface and its ability to support multiple I/O technologies including Thunderbolt, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2, and Firewire 800 in addition to the video signal. I know of no adaptor, or PC compatible display card that will enable all of that from a computer that was not built with Thunderbolt built in.
    However, if you are primarily interested in the 27" display, then Apple's LED display will work quite nicely with an appropriate $35 adaptor available through the Apple Store. Which particular adaptor you need depends on the video output port on the PC. SInce you say it is an old HP Pavilion, it probably has a VGA or SVGA video port.

  • No audio in firefox, works fine in IE & Chrome. Have Dell E6500 running Win 7 Pro 64 bit. every thing works with native windows driver but with not IDT driver

    I have no Audio in Firefox. I think this is an old problem with Dell IDT driver and Firefox. Flash is installed, I have uninstalled and re-installed two or three times, removed pluggins and put them back to no avail. The native win 7 driver from 2010 works okay in all browsers including firefox but I would like an up-to-date driver that works. The latest IDT driver for my Dell e6500 running Win 7 pro works great in IE and Chrome but not Firefox.

    I don't think there was any setting I could change on the driver. Firefox did not show up in the mixer or volume control. It is there with the native win 7 driver. This driver doesn't seem to see Firefox. I just got this computer, but looking for help, posts three years ago on the web seemed to have this problem with the Dell e6500 and Firefox.

  • I have a laptop running Win 7 Pro, can I setup a dualboot with Win XP

    My laptop is running Win 7 Pro (32-bit) but I have a Iomega Zip 100 drive which has not been supported since Win XP. I have numerous discs with content I would like to access and put onto CD. Can I set up a dualboot system with Win 7 and Win XP without
    affecting my current data?

    The first thing you need to do is verify that there are Windows XP chipset and device drivers for your laptop. If there are none then XP may not function properly, no mouse, keyboard, video, USB ports may no work and more.
    If there are drivers then read the following:

  • Enterprise Manager Console does not start on Win 2000 Pro

    I have installed Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Manager on Win 2000 Professional. But the Enterprise Manager console does not start. Also the EM Configuration Assistant does not start.
    I have installed many times, but it is never successfull.
    I was installing Enterprise Edition -> General Purpose database.
    Tried the following from command prompt:
    oemapp.bat I get this message : "Usage: oemapp <application_name>"
    oemapp consoleI get : "bad command or file name"
    oemapp console oem.loginmode=standaloneI get : "bad command or file name"
    Is there any post installation configurations that need to be done?
    When I read thru the oemapp.bat, "Usage: oemapp <application_name>" was under the jreSetup module.
    Under C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre I have the folders with following Names(versions) 1.1.8 and 1.3.1.
    In the environment variable also I have C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin and C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin
    Could some one help me with this.
    Thanks,
    Aruna

    Marcus,
    Is your machine connected to a Novell network? If so, edit the oemapp.bat file and change every reference of Windows_NT to WINNT. The issue is Novell does not set the Windows_NT variable, and uses the WINNT variable instead.

  • How should I install/setup a single OS of windows 7 to run through bootcamp and parallels 7 on my new macbook pro?

    I just bought a new macbook 8g ram and 750g harddrive and want to be able to run windows 7 through bootcamp and parallels. How do I setup that up and install a single version of windows (want to be able to utilize heavy programs - photoshop, 3D modeling CAD etc. - by installing them once and being able to use them through parallels 7 or bootcamp)? Please let me know of anything that may red flag by doing this and clear concise instructions of which to do first/ settings for bootcamp and parallels

    BootCamp is directly booting your computer into Windows for full hardware access and performance, just like a PC. It's free from Apple.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Virtual machine software (paid) like Parallels and VMFusion both can take the Bootcamped Windows and make a copy for use in OS X in a window at the same time as using OS X, but less performance. It's usualyl easiler to use.
    A free virtual machine option is VirtualBox, but it might not have all the bells and whistles of the payware options above, but works just  fine.
    We can't provide detailed installation instructions, it's too much, you will have to read Apple's instructions and the manual for your virtual machine software.

    install vista from within XP but i'm not sure whether you will succeed since you will have to set your sata2 drive in the bios as the primary drive that contains the OS. beleive me the only way you will get to install the raid drivers for nvraid controller is if you start the setup from within xp

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The ora-3121 basically means that the ODBC driver cannot find the Net working layer. Please make sure the oracle client and networking components are installed, they are required. Also, the ODBC driver needs the OracleHome\bin in the OS path.

  • Trying to connect the RD app to remotely control a laptop running Win 7 Pro 64bit

    Can you please advice which changes I need to do on the Win 7 laptop to be able to connect to it from the RD client app? thanks!

    Hi,
    If the device you runs the RD App and your Windows 7 laptop are in the same network, you can just refer to the steps in this article to configure your Windows 7.
    Allow someone to connect to your computer using Remote Desktop Connection
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/allow-someone-to-connect-to-your-computer-using-remote-desktop-connection
    However, if they are not in the same network, you may also need to configure your network device.
    Allow Remote Desktop connections from outside your home network

  • Running win 7 pro on Mac. VMware fusion - Help

    Hey Guys,
    I bought a mac and well I have been missing a few of my favourite PC programs so I have now installed VMware Fusion and put windows in and I logged into last night really quickly before I went to bed.
    A few questions I have if someone can please help me with is :
    1. How do I jump across to the windows OS ?
    2. Do I need to transfer the app from my external to internal mac HD
    3. Do I need winzip or is it still mac or once I goto the windows OS.. I can use normal winzip ?
    sorry to ask so many noobish questions I just want to make sure I can run 3 main things from my Pc on the Mac and been told it was through Fusion which looks like the windows OS.
    Please can someone help me out with these questions.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    since Fusion is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources here http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/support.html
