How do I get rid of my Windows XP partition?

A few days after installing parallels without any problems I now get this error every time I try to boot up my Windows XP partition:
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.
I have a feeling that I can't fix this issue (please let me know if I can and how) so I'm leaning towards just deleting the partition and giving the disk space back to OS X. How do I go about doing this?

Run BootCamp Assistant and select the option to delete the partition.

There is screen information of Airplay popping up on the screen every second minute. How do I get rid of this window? Everything is already connected

There is screen information of Airplay popping up on the screen every second minute. It's stating: 1. Network Configuration: Connect to wifi network 2. Choose this Apple TV. However wifi is already connected and this apple tv has been chosen. How do I get rid of this window as everything is working already fine and everything is connected. Airplay and wifi are working already.

Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying. To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

When starting up my computer, I get a window that says - apple sync notifier.exe - entry point not found. how can i get rid of this window?

When I start up my computer, I get a window that pops up that says * AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found. it also says the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll. . What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

How can I get rid of a windows update deployment package?

We are using SCCM 2007 with a primary site server and four child sites.
I created a windows update list with a source directory and package.
Distributed the package to my primary site server and then from a child site distributed to a long list of distribution points on the child site and three other child sites below it.
This all worked fine we used the list and package to deploy security updates and added to the list each month, automatically distributing to all sites and distribution points.
One month the distribution failed on one child site, all the other sites and distribution points got the refreshed package no problem. (Probably caused by the backup running on that site.)
This became a permanent problem which we finally fixed by creating a new list and package.
Now I'm trying to do a cleanup of the old package and partially failed distribution.
I've started by deleting the package from the primary sites distribution point.
Next from the child site where the package status is unlocked, I deleted from all the other distribution points.
The child site shows that the package distribution points have been deleted.
Unfortunately above and below the child site the package distribution points are still listed and locked.
(Looking at one of the listed distrubution points the package is on the server.)
Sorry for the big speech, does anyone know how to remove from the other distribution points and so be able to delete the package?
Any help or redirection would be great.

I don't have an answer, but I sure do have a question!!
I acquired the hacker in January. In February both of my computers were destroyed. I removed ALL forms of networking from my house -- TWC, all of my routers and adapters, etc.
I went to Best Buy and bought a new computer, then another, then 2 more -- all getting hit with a prefab image upon getting close to my doorway.
I am losing my home, etc, because I haven't been able to work in months. This hacker finds me at the library, and wherever else I try to work, and he messes withmy typing, stalls my screen, empties my USBs.
I believe I am the victim of remote deployment, but how do I find where/who it is coming from?
I used my (corrupt) Gateway recovery disks the other day and watched how ActiveX and other rd tools were listed.
PLEASE, this has been going on for too long. After i gave up on computers, my house has been entered nearly every day. The police literally think I am insane.
What can I do to get out of this deployment?
Might there be a network in my home that I am unaware of?? If so, is it likely in the cable, the tv, the fire alarm, what?
Warm regards,
Angel

How do I get rid of Registration Window preventing access to Acrobat?

On removing Acrobat XI and re-installing Acrobat 11.0.0, entering my serial number, and updating to 11.0.08, I get a registration window ("Register Your Product") that (1) Pops up anew when you click on "Cancel", (2) Goes away if you click on the corner "x" and select "Quit", but that does NOT bring up Acrobat, (3) If you attempt to register with it, its Sign-In window says your Adobe ID and password do not match (even though you can then go to the Adobe website and sign in with them) and if you go the new-password route, getting the email from Adobe and entering a new password, the new password gives the same message, that your Adobe ID and the new password do not match (even though with this new password, also, you can then go to the Adobe website and sign in with it)!!!!
WinXP SP3. This started with 11.0.08 which Secunia PSI had me upgrade to 11.0.09 which gave one error window after another ("Reader (sic) must close" - although the detail showed it was the Acrobat .exe that was having the problem) and which I could not stop except to uninstall Acrobat. I went to the Adobe Acrobat Upgrade Versions page and as 11.0.10 had just come on (I figured, "Oh, Adobe has found and solved the problem") so I reinstalled 11.0.0, entered my serial number and upgraded to 11.0.10. Again I got one error message after another (different message - not recalled). So I uninstalled, reinstalled 11.0.0, entered the serial number, updated to 11.0.08 (which Secunia PSI said was the version I started with) and got the above Registration Window from Hell.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

The case of differing number, that did have text in it and referred to this Forum post, was established 4 days ago. I checked it and opened it every day, but there was absolutely no response from Adobe. During all this time it was labeled as "Open. Waiting for Adobe Response". Today it was labeled "Withdrawn" and contained an explanation from Adobe that it was Withdrawn by them because there was no response from me, and this despite that fact that the case still contained absolutely no response from Adobe to the initial post, much less one that I was expected to respond to. Also today I noticed that my store account no longer contained my downloadable Acrobat Pro XI purchased in Oct. 2013. It was there (although the 11.0.07 version instead of the original 11.0.0 version) 10 days ago on the 10th when I downloaded it in case my original was somehow corrupted. The Adobe website, observed today, answers, to the question, "How long is my download available?", "Software downloads remain in your account for three years after the date of purchase. Adobe reserves the right to change this policy at any time with or without notice."
To carry on my own attempts to get access to my purchased, downloaded and used (for over a year) Acrobat Pro XI: In my original post the error message immediately after the initial update "Reader (sic) must close" _did_, I now realize, refer to Adobe Reader as it referred to AcroRd32.exe which is Reader, not Acrobat. The continuous flow of error messages involving Reader (which was installed on my computer) when I was only trying to use Acrobat made me think the problem was due to some kind of coupling between the two. So I uninstalled both and used the most recent CCleaner to clean the Registry. I reinstalled Acrobat (the 11.0.07 version downloaded from the Adobe Store 10 days ago) and the Registration Window from Hell was again present and functioned in all ways just as before. So I uninstalled Acrobat, Reader, and _all_ things Adobe, used CCleaner to clean the registry again and installed, this time, my original download from Oct. 2013, the 11.0.0 version of Acrobat Pro XI. The Registration Window from Hell (RWH) was again present and functioned in all ways just as before. It appears that the RWH is going out on the internet and there is returning to it, apparently from Adobe, the condition that, for my purchased Acrobat Pro XI, the Adobe ID and Password do not match when that is an obvious error as explained above.
So I will have to work with PDF files from now on without my purchased Acrobat XI Pro software which I used very successfully for over a year, and Adobe, apparently, could care less.

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

Printer is connected. How to get rid of installation window upon boot-up?

I have an Officejet 4500; successfully connected to desktop (Windows Ultimate Vista OP). However, had a problem when connecting to laptop (Windows XP). When getting to configuration step, had a fatal error. Folllowing instructions in auto-dowloaded "HP Installation Error - XP" application, subsequently, downloaded drivers, utlities, etc. Finally was able to print off of laptop. However, everytime I boot up computer now, an installation window auto-appears with a Fatal Error message, then it runs through all the installation steps again, stalls at the configuration step, then I have to click a Finish button to finish an "uninstall" (which it does not do, the printer is still installed). So, to continue using the computer, I have to click the Cancel button in the middle of the "install" operation, use the computer for other things I need to do, then I can't shut down until it completes its "Uninstall" process again. The printer is connected...HOW do I get rid of the install window that auto-appears when I boot up? (There is NO "Close" button or icon.)

TS3230 i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar. How do I get rid of this?

i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar. How do I get rid of this?

You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari.

A pop up window saying Java Runtime Environment keeps coming up. How do I get rid of it?

How do i get rid of a pop up window that asks me to run Java Runtime Environment?

If you're referring to a Mac and not an iPad, then most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it, including its automatic update mechanism (if any) according to the developer's instructions. Otherwise, install Java.

How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

Hi,
I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
Windows 7 machine.
4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
applications and finally restore your personal folders.
