Installing Origin in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
Has anyone experienced any issues installing Origin from EA on Windows 8 or 8.1 systems? I see lots of these questions on EA forums and no one seems to have solution except to roll back to windows 7. Any suggestion?
This was seriously your answer??? EA says the same thing. Their product works on all other operating systems other than Windows 8 and 8.1. Honestly with all of the incompatibilities you guys have created with Windows 8 & 8.1 you guys
have a lot of gall to tell people to check with the product developers when their products worked fine before you guys updated to Windows 8 and 8.1. Wow, Microsoft's level of support is astoundingly lacking. Amazing.

I have a Window 7 HP laptop. I want to install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive as the memory space on my laptop is very less. I have the original snow leopard disc and I think it's a retail version . Please guide me through the installation in details. Can you also please let me know about this boot camp.
You cannot. From a legal standpoint, the license agreement for OS X mandates that you run OS X only on Apple hardware. HP is not (yet) owned by Apple.
From a technical standpoint, your HP laptop doesn't use EFI, but rather an early predecessor called a BIOS. Apple is the only vendor of consumer computer hardware that uses EFI; other vendors reserve EFI for use in servers.
Secondly, Apple's operating systems support a rather limited number of configurations of video hardware and mainboard chipsets directly since they need only support those systems that they manufacture. You cannot use Windows software or drivers on OS X, so prior to installation, you would need to write your own hardware drivers for your laptop, create an OS X drive image on a Mac, and then modify that image with your drivers before putting it in the HP.
It will be simpler (and legal), to simply purchase a used Mac. Apple's online store has refurbished MacBook Airs starting at $850 and Mac Minis for $700. If you go to e-bay or craigslist, you'll find used Macs for considerably less. -
Generated JNLP and closing the original browser window
Hi All, This is my first post so bear with me. Here is my problem.
I am using Web Start for an application.
I need to check to see if web start is installed or not.
If it is NOT I need to auto-install
if it is I need to call a servlet that dynamically generates the jnlp with the user that I passed in as <arguments/> maybe other arguments in the future also
I need to shut the original browser window
I will use this servlet in multiple web apps
I have it working like this but I don't think it is clean enough
I call a servlet with the syntax checkJREServlet?USER=username
this servlet writes out:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Installing Java Runtime</h1>
<OBJECT
CLASSID="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="0" height="0"
codebase="http://<myservler>/<plugins folder>/j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586.exe#Version=1,4,2,0">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="redirectAndClose.class"> //my applet class
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="RedirectUtil.jar"> //the jar where my applet class is stored
<PARAM NAME="archive_cache" VALUE="RedirectUtil.jar">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet">
<PARAM NAME="where_to_next" VALUE="http://<myservler>/<mywebapp>/openAppServlet?USER=username">
You did not install Java.
<p>Please use the <b>Back</b> button to return to the previous page.
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
I have redirectAndClose which is:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import netscape.javascript.*;
public class redirectAndClose
extends Applet
java.util.Timer timer = null;
int seconds = 5;
public void start()
try
getAppletContext().showDocument(
new URL(getCodeBase(), getParameter("where_to_next")), "_blank");
//now we have to close ourselves in 5 seconds
timer = new java.util.Timer();
timer.schedule(new java.util.TimerTask()
public void run()
timer.cancel(); //Terminate the timer thread
destroy();
, seconds * 1000);
catch(MalformedURLException e)
throw new RuntimeException(e);
public void destroy()
super.destroy();
//close this window because we don't need it
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(this);
win.eval("window.opener=self;self.close();");
If try to close without a timer my entier session gets killed, including my webstart app that the openAppServlet wrote out the jnlp for
I hate this because it is not definite. I want to DEFINITELY know when my webstart app is open and I can close this original window. Like a whenWindowExists then close me but I have no clue how to do this.
The "where_to_next" location is a servlet that will dynamically build a jnlp file specific for each web app building it from parameters in web.xml for each individual web app. Basically I will have to store the actual name of the class, the jar href's I will be needing, title, vendor, description, basically everything that can be different.
So what I need is some kind of library so I can include it in multiple web apps EASILY. I don't want to have to write a document on how to include this thing. It should be self explainatory. I originally just mapped to the first servlet in my web.xml and then included the jar file but it appears to be non-existent in my project. Maybe some suggestions on what others would do may help me.
Thanx in advanceI don't want to use a timer because who knows if the servlet that writes out the dynamic jnlp will get hung up for a little while or any number of other reasons. If that did happen the timer would kick off and close my web start app. I cannot have this.

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

I am trying to download and install itunes on windows 7. The download works fine and it appears that the install works fine as well but when it finishes itunes is nowhere to be found. I am in Mexico. Please help. Thanks
You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else. -

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Just installed itunes on windows 8 and it will not open

Okay.
Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

I am trying to install CS3 on Windows 8 and keep getting a message saying "the serial number I entered is not valid please enter it again" Does anyone know how to install successfully on Windows 8?
CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues. -
I am trying to install a new iPod Shuffle and my pc does not pick it up.
My operating system is Windows 8.1 and windows 8 does not appear
in the list of operating systems.You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
And which version of Windows do you have?
NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there. -

I installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firefox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME! I do not want to use IE! I presume it has something to do with Adobe DLM as ever since then it is not working.I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
1. Shut down the computer
2. Reboot and open firefox
3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck! -

On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings The edit menu opens up and I have undo, redo, cut, copy, paste,delete,select all, find....but NO Preferences at the bottom. This is a new laptop and nothing like skype is installed. The Firefox install is new today 1/6/12
Hi bruce,
What are you actually looking for? On Windows 7 your options will be under ''Tools > Options''. If you have the ''Firefox'' menu, you can hit ''Alt'' to temporarily enable the menu bar.
Your System details say Linux. Your say you are on Windows 7 though, correct? -
