I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

    Hi,
    Regarding the issue here, please restart the computer and press F8 until you see the
    advanced boot options, select start windows normally, 
    if it starts with no problem, please check if you have the option boot from safe mode checked:
    run->type msconfig->tab boot->boot options, check if the
    safe boot is selected, if yes please uncheck it. Then restart the computer to check if this problem still exists.

    Hi,
    Oracle WebLogic Server Downloads can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
    I believe Oracle WebLogic Server is not certified yet on Windows 7 64-bit, and this explains why you cannot find installation files to download. More details about the product certification can be found at:

  • Just moved from microsoft word, struggling with one thing . . the view

    I've just recently started using pages rather then microsoft word.
    It seems great, but there is one thing that I'm struggling with, the page view
    No Matter what I do I can't seem to show the pages left border (from the perspective of looking at the computer screen)
    In word you can see the entire page, then there is space where it finished and around the sides.
    I can't seem to get the view to show the space around the top of the first page and the left border of all the pages.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    What about the view - one up option? I see it in the help but I don't see it in my document. When I click on View, I don't see one up as an option.
    Anyone know if there's a way to see one page above/below the other, rather than spread out side by side?
    It's not in the View menu. One-up & two-up is in the percentage box at the bottom left of the document.

  • Operating System And Database Patch

    Hello everyone,
    Does Sap have a specific note about operating system and database patch management? It is important for
    me for applying operating system and database patches.

    I'm not exactly sure what you're asking about but usually the operating system vendors have to make sure that applications work as before after a patch.
    Since SAP applications run on many different combinations of operating systems and databases together with different kernels and/or database clients it's impossible to test them all in all combinations.
    SAP has no notes with "don't use Hotfix A,B,C on your Windows machine together with Hotfix D or E on the database server"; known issues are listed in the notes for the patches themselves (on the vendors websites, not SAP).

  • OS X 10.5.6 versus Windows Server 2000 SFM

    We have recently deployed a number of Macintosh (Mac Pros and iMacs) running OS X 10.5.6. When copying a directory to a Windows Server 2000 running Services for Macintosh, the directory permission are not duplicated and, more problematically, cannot be modified on the server from the Mac.
    This was not a problem with the Macintoshes running OS X 10.4. Did something change between versions? Anyone know a solution?
    Note: we are replacing the Windows server with an XServe, but I'm looking for a quick fix before that migration.

  • Oracle 11g Client for Windows Server 2008 Relase2 Operating Stystem

    Hi,
    I am having a server with Operating System as Windows Server 2008 R2 version 64 - bit.
    I am using SSRS 2008 which is 64 bit, for retreiving the data from Oracle (which is 11g - 32 bit), I am unable to create data source for Oracle.
    I had installed ODAC Components of Oracle 11.1.0.7.20 on the server, but still I am getting the following error:
    "The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine."
    Does any one know how to install Oracle Client 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system?

    Helios,
    It is wonderful that you are polite and encouraging to new people.
    While you are responding, could you explicitly direct people to use the correct forum. This has at least 2 benefits:
    1) Ensures that the person gets the widest possible amount of assistance;
    2) Ensures that the rest of us do not need to waste time on improperly placed questions.
    I suggest 'explicitly' since some people do not get the hint, and keep returning to the original thread.
    This thread belongs in 'Database - General' or 'Database - Install'.

  • HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
    Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
    Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX  feature of  the printer with Windows 7   64 bit  operating system.
    All replies welcomed!   Aaron in Calif.

    Hi Aaron,
    Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

  • We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

    We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
    Problem:
    Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
    Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    -Alex

    This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
    The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
    Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788
