Windows 8.1 Install Fails, 8 Installs fine. (Not the usual CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF problem)

Hi All,
I have 2 machines with this problem now, both 64 bit (one a Pentium D, and one a Core 2 Duo), they both used to run Windows 7 x64, and both now have clean installed Windows 8 x86 on them (because I didnt install x64 as this a) didnt boot the installers)
and b) wouldnt run as these both seem to not have one of the CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF instructions.
I'm happy with them running x86 but would like them to be running windows 8.1..
Now I'm an MSDN subscriber, so I have downloaded and tried to boot the x86 versions of 8.1 (all editions), and all of them abort during boot at the blue flag with a "sorry your pc has had a problem and needed to restart"
I then thought I could install 8 and upgrade it in place using the store, so I installed 8 pro, and downloaded the update, which reboots the PC (happens same on both), and then crashes during boot at the same point.
I understand that the x86 version doesnt need the extra CPU instructions.. so why doesnt it work?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Sam

Hi
Auggy,
Thanks for your reply.
There are no memory dumps in that location.. (there are no .dmp files anywhere under the $Windows.~BT folder)
There are some other files which look like other logs though so I will have a look in
those see if anything jumps out at me as a problem.
Is there any way I can collapse the code block above? Its a bit huge and Id like
to collapse it to make this more readable (id also post the other logs if so so
that I dont clutter the thread too much with logs.. )
Thanks

Need to create, build, or obtain the Windows 7 INSTALLATION media, not the recovery stuff

I want to be able to install Windows 7 on a Thinkpad WITHOUT all the factory installed stuff. I DO NOT NEED the recovery image "solution" that comes preinstalled on the laptop. I need to be able to create a clean Windows 7 installtion that we can image and deploy without the preloaded stuff.
Basically, is there a way, and if so, how do I create a Windows 7 INSTALLATION media, not the recovery stuff? If this can't be done, do I need to purchase the media from Lenovo? An example of what I'm looking for: Dell makes it very easy to do this. You can create the Windows 7 installation media. Just like the Windows XP and 2000 CD/DVD's they used to ship.
I have searched and can't find anything the addresses this.
Solved!

I'm taking a guess that you're looking for a vanilla Win 7 installer download. As sarbin said, if that's not your issue, please start another thread. (At least this will update that stale link - for a while.)
The content in that link got pulled a while back.
Here's a fresher link that still works (for how long, who knows...) Even includes SP1.
Default Legal Download: Windows 7 with SP1, 13 languages
These are Microsoft installer DVD ISOs that still require activation. If you choose one that matches the COA on the target machine (home premium, pro, ultimate), they can be activated with that COA. it will require phone activation.

CS6 Production Pro W8 install fail "OS requirements not met"

Hello. Have failed install of CS6 Production Premium.
Currently have CS-4 Master, LR-3, LR-4 installed on this machine. Because of Adobe nightmare install issues I have had on W8 with CS4 though have SN for CS6-PP have attempted install as trail.
The install failed, in the majority of cases, because "OS requirements not met", and in others as installer claimed it cannot find files.
Given my system hardware, and that an running W8 with the latest patches it is inconceivable to me that "requirements are not met".
Here is relevant system info:
OS: Windows 8 Professional (x64) (build 9200)

I have the error log of the failed install (a few excerpts below). I also have the Belarc system profile summary available.
Tried to solve this on "Chat". but for the past 20 minutes have been reading "All representatives are actively assisting other customers. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 1 second(s) or longer. Thank you for your patience." in the chat window.

Thanks, However, did not have good luck with the Adobe Cleaner Tool with CS4 install last month (am bringing a new computer to life).
Had the same odd color-profile problems (and others) with CS4 install. First tried the adobe suggested remove all profiles, then tried the Adobe Support Advisor, etc etc. Eventually gave up and ran the suggested ACT - this did allow for CS4 install to succeed (except for Flash).
However, though had chosen only CS4 clean, the ACT wiped out lightroom-3 and in addition screwed with other parts of the registry so that i had to reinstall several programs (for example Launchy) and it also wiped out everything in the create new docs reg key except for Adobe products - fortunately had backed up the reg and so was simply able to export/import to get these back (though without the adobe doc creation context menu entries!)
I have NEVER had an Adobe "Creative Suite" product install without complication - which is why I went with the trial version, as in the past have had to call Adobe because of "too many" (but all failed) installs. One time ... well no one really wants to hear about how Adobe was moving its support center, and I could not get through, and had a deadline.
Looking through the log ii see that several failed installs were of 32-bit components. As the installer correctly id'd this as a 64-bit OS (and installed BOTH the 64 & 32-bit versions of PS) perhaps this is not important (so, why then did the installer attempt to install them??)
What worries me most is the first line of the error file "WARNING: DW066: OS requirements not met for {CC006FD6-00EF-46FC-ACA0-7A28EFF44D20} Adobe Media Encoder CS6 6.0.0.0" as I have had problems with the AME before. Notably, after an update to CS4 (XPP) although the AME would load - it would not actually ENCODE anything for output but just sit there unresponsive. One wonders what "OS requirements" W8 Pro-64 does not meet.
Really, after all this time, and given how expensive the applications are one would think that Adobe could come up with an installer which works better than this.
So - again - thank you. Have poked around a bit, and as PS and PP both launch, perhaps they will work. Have not yet had the time to try encoding from CS6 - if I have problems, I will be back.
Thanks

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Error

Hey Im getting the following error when trying to install windows from a USB.
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
I installed the windows 8 (64bit) iso using boot camp to a usb. I was able to do this after changing the info.plist to allow me to place the iso on the usb. After I make the partition and start the install, I get the above error. I formatted the partition in the installation but I keep getting this error. I've repreated the entire process but i keep getting this errror and the disk utility says my partition is a Windows NT File System (NTFS) so im not sure what's going on. If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea?

Can't load any websites. I do not get any "error messages", the "enter" button has no effect in the address bar. Works fine in the FF search box and in IE.

Entering a URL in the address bar and hitting enter does nothing. Neither the "enter" button or "address bar arrow", for going to the website, function. Website does not load and no error messages appear. "Enter" button works fine in the FF search box and in IE, so it's not my keyboard.
Tried most of the recommended fixes under the "Error loading websites" article with the exception of "DNS refetching", as typing "about:config" in the location bar does no good as the "enter button" won't function. I've removed and re-added FF back into the windows firewall, removed ZoneAlarm from my system, edited proxy settings, deleted and reinstalled FF several times. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a die hard FF fan and this is KILLING me. Please HELP!!!

You have a lot of information in packed in the "More system details..." (in the right-hand column), where it looks like you found a solution. If not take a look at "Problematic Extensions" the AVG Free installation of their "'''AVG Free Search'''" can cause such problems. Directions to fix that are specific and involve reinstalling AVG Free without the Link Scanner component.

I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded. The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what?

Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
… now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
I'll let you know.

IMac DV firmware trap- but not the usual symptoms, help?

ok, ok, I admit, I got nailed by the Firmware Trap on my friend's iMac DV 500, but I don't have the usual no-video and shutdown problems typical of the classic firmware issue. The iMac has video, and boots fine from Panther install disks, and does not shut itself down, but it won't install anything, and it won't complete booting from OS 9 install CD (it gets partway thru, but Finder won't load) or utility CDs (only goes as far as splash screen in TechToolPro OS9.2)
I knew about the update firmware issue, but since it already had OS X installed, I thought that it had the needed update, whose exact # I didn't remember and which looked correct to me in the System Profiler.. 4.1.7 (of course, now I remember, it's actually 4.1.9). The install did not give me any firmware warning, but the Panther install failed with massive errors (according to log). Eventually I read that OS10.1 could be (and was) installed and running without the update, as of course it would, having been released before the update... but that didn't occur to me at the time.
There is no working OS on the drive- I'd chosen to erase it first. Before I realized that firmware might be the issue, I (uh-oh) started it up from the Panther CD again, ran Disk Utility (which reported it "repaired" the HD)and (cringe) also booted from an OSX-based TechToolPro CD, which started up, then shut down/restarted when i tried to run tests, and would not reboot from that CD again. If it tries to start up from just the HD it comes to the blinking folder question mark screen... as it would, having no working system installed. Video seems completely normal.
I have tried an Open Firmware reset, pulled and reinstalled the RAM and backup battery, unplugged the HD, reset the logic board- nothing changed. The Sleep button trick won't work because it will not go to sleep, and it has video anyway.
My question... what, if anything, to try now?
I have video and start-up, but i can't get OS 9 to boot far enuf to install, which I need to do to be able to update the firmware. Should I pull the drive and install to it separately, then reinstall it and try to boot from it, or is this a waste of time (ie, does it sound like the logic board is already irretrievably whacked)? Any other ideas?
I tend macs for several friends and relatives who have them (non-profit!), and don't want it to get out that I inadvertently killed one!

I found these links for another topic thread. They have the technician's service manual for slot loader iMacs, in PDF format (both link to the same manual). There is a section in the manual on trouble-shooting, and it includes a section on the PMU reset procedure (pages 196 and 197).

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

Hello,
We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
Kind regards
Udo

Hello,
Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
- Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
- Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
- GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
- CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
- After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
- Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A
Regards
Udo
