Problem with 2nd operating system

Hello,
I have a near new probook.
When purchased,  I upgraded the hard drive.
I still have the original hd with win7 pro installed on it.
My problem is,  when I put the original hd into the probook it starts etc but, everything is magnifed and pixelated.
I hope you understand what I mean. I can probably upload a screenshot if needed.
Can anyone offer me some advice?
Kind regards.

That sounds more like a video problem then a hard drive problem....

  • Problem with zip operating system command

    Hello,
    i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
    Directory: /tmp/
    File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
    Variable substitution:
    Variable Name: name                 Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
    Run Operating system command:
    /usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
    The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
    Thanks,
    Luis

    Hi Sriram,
    Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
    The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
    Regards,
    Luis

  • JAR file problem with windows operating system rare

    hi,
    I have an application created with Eclipse 3.2, which also have a plugin that helps me to create jar files, migrate days ago all my application and my data base to a notebook that has a very rare operating system is Windows Vista, but is a version very rare and never seen, called oneAngel Illusion, and I think that that is not capable of running the JAR correctly, that when you double click or enter to JAR nothing happens, and I prove it on a machine that has XP and functioning properly.

    I hope I can help with this!You should know, if you don't already, that your 'super rare' version of Windows Vista, sounds like one of numerous, illegal, cracked and knocked-off versions of Vista that have been floating about. Things like Windows Vista Silver and Windows Vista Sky are not only completely illegal reproductions of pirated copies of Vista but they often have terrible bugs and security deficiencies that can sacrifice the integrity of your data. Honestly, if you're already shooting yourself in the foot with this bootlegged operating system, just get Linux, it's just like stealing but without the unsavory prison shower encounters.

  • Problem With mac Operating system

    ok, had a problem with a piece of software and was told to try and "downgrade" my OS. so i started an installer that was an installer to a previous system. i was on 4.8 and was trying to go to 3.4 i think. I got half way thru and it said start the installer again. restarted. instead of the apple logo coming up a round cross comes up. i connected to my comp thru another comp using the firewire but my user folder is empty. anyways i can find anything in the users folder and fix this problem? cheers

    Who told you to downgrade your OS X version and was this due to the software not being compatible with your OS X version which was 10.4.8?
    What software?
    Your computer detail provided indicates you have an Intel Mac and if so, you certainly cannot downgrade to 10.3 - any 10.3.x version. All Intel Macs have shipped with Tiger (10.4.x) pre-installed and there are no OS X versions prior to 10.4.x that is compatible with an Intel Mac and even if so, you cannot install an earlier or previous OS X version on a Mac that shipped with a later version.
    Unless you meant 10.4.3 which is the version that was pre-installed on your Intel Mac and the version included with the OS X install package that shipped with your Mac when new.
    Did this person who told you to downgrade your OS also tell you to be sure to create a backup or update your existing backup before doing so?
    Did you choose Archive & Install with an option to preserve user and network settings?
    If not and you choose Erase & Install, then your hard drive was completely erased first.

  • Problems with New operating system

  • Security Problems with new operating system (5.1)

    Using the new operating system you can use the camera when the ipod is locked. When you do this it overides the 4 digit security code giving full access to your ipod without entering the code. Surely this should not happen as the security of your ipod or iphone should not be compromised in this way. It needs a fix. Anyone else noticed this?

    Are you sure you are just not trying to access the iPod before the time you set the screen-lock to engage has passed?
    If the time period is set for say one minute and then you tell the iPod to sleep, you can still access the camera and then the whole iPod. But you can simply do that anywhap by jus sliging to to unloack.  If the time period has not passed you do not need to enter your passcode.  Othr users have forgot this and raised the same issue as you.

  • I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I cannot download Firefox 4 because it says it is incompatible with my operating system, although supposedly it is compatible with OS X 10.5

    I would like to download Firefox 4. I get an error message during download saying it is incompatible with my operating system and that it needs OS X 10.5 or 10.6 but I AM using 10.5.8, so what might be the problem?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • IPhone with multiple operating systems (win/mac)

    Does the iPhone have any problems switching between operating systems? ie: if it's used for a few months with iTunes on a PC and then you switch to iTunes on a Mac, will there be any problem moving over all the contacts, music...etc?
    I remember some of past iPods had issues that once they were "formatted" for one OS, you couldn't really use them with a different one without wiping them clean and starting over.

    The iPhone has it's own OS, and syncing between Macs and PCs is not a problem. There's no formatting issue involved.

  • I need help with my operating system

    Okay, little bit of background:
    I bought the iMac second hand from a family friend who we no longer have contact with, the operating system etc was already installed.
    The disk drive on the mac is broke (I dont have the disks anyway, so it would be no use)
    I never purchased the operating system, like I said, it was pre-loaded.
    A few programmes weren't running correctly and the computer was just generally running slowly, so I decided to just restore the system as there was no important data on it and it would run faster in the end, and I figured the programmes would run properly again once restored.
    Anyway, I unknowingly deleted the operating system in the process of the restore (I thought it would only delete personal data like it does on my windows PC)
    I have no restore disk (a broken disk drive anyway), my apple ID was not used to buy the operating system, so therefore it cant be used to restore the operating system, I also never backed up the harddrive externally so it cant be reinstalled from that.
    My problem: I have no operating system and no way of recovering it. I read about Mavericks and because its free, I decided to try and download it, but with no operating system, the mac can only run 'Safari' and wont save things I try to download to the harddrive (it just says theres no space and the download doesnt happen). I also tried to access the App Store from Safari to try to download OS X lion on my apple ID, but once again, when using Safari on a mac without an operating system, it is very restrictive and I cant access the download page.
    I have no idea what to do and live miles away from the nearest apple store.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided by anyone.
    Jordan.
    Additional information:
    Its a 2007 iMac which was running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (I think, it was definitely Lion though).
    Serial No. is W8*******X85
    <Edited by Host>

    Ah. Well, then you have an itty-bitty problem. You need to backup your files to start with. You will need your retail Snow Leopard installer DVD which your friend should have provided to you. If he did not then ask him to bring it to you. It belongs to you along with the original distribution discs that came with computer when it was new.
    Do the following once you have the Snow Leopard DVD:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Upgrading to Lion
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    After you sign into your App Store account with your Apple ID click on the Redeem option under Quick Links to download your copy of Lion.
    As an aside to this: All actual 2007 iMacs are able to run Mavericks. So rather than buying Lion you may prefer to upgrade to Mavericks which is Free.

  • My new shuffle won't work with my operating system

    I was really pleased to be given a new shuffle for my birthday, but it won't work with my operating system. I feel disgusted and cheated; I have been using macs for years and don't see why I should have to buy a new one in order to use a piece of Apple technology. It's not good enough to say that the operating system requirements are clearly stated, as the person who bought me the shuffle didn't know that. I am so furious that I am thinking of going back to pcs next time I buy. Apple really should get their act together, because various forums I have consulted suggest that a lot of other people feel the same.

    Feel better now?
    We are all users here just like yourself so we cannot do anything for you besides making some logical suggestions to you. So if the person had bought you some 3rd party software that only worked with Leopard and/or Snow Leopard would by be just as furious? Just curious.
    You don't have to buy a "new one" to use your new Shuffle, just upgrade your OS. Are you using a PowerPC or Intel Mac Mini? If the latter just go buy a copy of Snow Leopard, install it on your computer and download the latest iTunes. Problem solved. If it is a PowerPC look around and find and install a copy of Leopard.

  • Firefox prompted me to download an incompatible update that its website claims is compatible with my operating system (Mac OS 10.4.11). Why prompt an incompatible download AND claim it is compatible?

    I have an iMac and use OS 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.19. Firefox prompted me to download an update (to 7.0.1). I looked up the system requirements on your website, and it stated the update is compatible with OS 10.4.11. But after I downloaded and installed the update, it failed to work on grounds of incompatibility. Hence 2 questions: (1) Why did Firefox prompt me to download an incompatible update? (2) Why did your website claim the update is compatible with my operating system when it is not?

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.

  • 'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

    Hi all,
    Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
    The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
    The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
    As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
    I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
    Thanks

    In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
    I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
    I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.
