Bootcamp Assistant no longer working - asking for boot rom?

Hi,
I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion (1 SSD 250 GB and 1 HD 2 To) and wanted to create an bootcamp partition. As I start the Boot Camp assistant I get an error stating: "Boot Camp Assitant cannot be used. You must update your computer's Boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant."
Any suggestions?
Thank's for your help
Maurice

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:

    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.

  • Bootcamp assistant no longer showing up in windows 7

    Bootcamp with windows 7 has worked fine for me for months and months and suddenly the small grey diamond that stayed in the taskbar has dissapeared and the only way I can bring it back is continously reinstalling the bootcamp drivers on the windows side...and that obviously is not a permanent fix as each restart I have to do it again.
    Without this I am unable to adjust volume, screen brightness or keyboard brightness using the keyboard.
    I have no idea why this started happening.
    any help?

    tried that, still reverted back.
    I ran a chkdsk as suggested above and when the computer started again everything was working. Since then I haven't booted back into 7 because I've been studying for finals and haven't had time to check, so once I do (tomorrow or late tonight) I will update the thread.
    strange fix if thats what did it, especially because no errors were found...

  • Why is Siri Assistant no longer working on my 3gs?

    I downloaded and used Siri Assistant on my iPhone 3gs for about a year.  Loved it.  Now, the app still starts, but continually says there is no network connection available? Has Apple stopped supporting the stand alone version just because they have now included it in the 4gs? 
    Also, does the 4gs have file send capability via Bluetooth yet, and if not, what are we supposed to do with synching our contact and phone information into our Prius?
    Only way I have found so far is to copy my Outlook contact list into my old Sony Ericson phone and synch it with the Prius.  That worked from day one, and sure beats the heck out of trying to enter each and every contact one key at a time.

    The Siri app was not made by Apple. It was made by a company that Apple later bought. Once that company ceased to exist, the app and the servers required to run it were no longer supported.

  • Verizon Call Assistant no longer works after single sign-on change

    Last month after going through the single sign-on change to use one sign-on for both verizon.com and verizon.net, I can no longer sign into VCA. Apparently the user name/password change did not propagate to the VCA server, but my old sign-on doesn't work either.
    The VCA reset password link is just a circular reference back to the home page.
    I wanted to un-install and re-install the VCA software, but can't get into the VCA area to get the software.

    Login to MyVerizon and try this link. Or this link will ask for you to login, if you are not logged in.

    I don't want to use up another activation.
    What happened to Adobe support? Why is there no phone number to call?

    I already looked at what was available at the link.
    I entered the license again and this time it worked.
    Does this mean that I have used both of my installations?
    This PC is the only one it's been installed on. I should still have one more installation.

  • Lightroom won't work, asks for registration, but I have a membership

    I recently bought a creative cloud membership after running trials of PS, AI, LR etc. Most programs are working as full versions now, but Lightroom is asking for a serial number when I try to open it.. I've searched thru how to activate it, but the answer isn't happening. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but the creative cloud list won't let me re-install it fresh as it just shows up in my list of programs as being up to  date.. what do I do?

  • Palm Treo 755p -- bought new computer with Vista and downloaded Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 -- now the sync does not work, asks for drivers

    Hello...
    I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems.  That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers.  I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
    Anyone able to help me out on this?
    Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
    Post relates to: Palm m515

    Just in case it is not clear...  that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post.  Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
    1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
    2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
    3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
    4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself.  The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer.  In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either.  I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak...  you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
    So... any ideas my friend?  It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck.  I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
    I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

  • Arch Assistant no longer works with netcfg

    Finally arrived home where I could update Arch.  Now Arch Assistant will not work with the netcfg profiles I set up previously.  I can use netcfg by logging in as root and typing a profile afterwards, but I find this tedious.  How can I get this to work again?
    EDIT: I see that Arch Assistant has been orphaned - unfortunately.

  • After upgraded to Mavericks, bootcamp says it needs to upgrade the boot ROM firmware.

    How to solve this problem? Thank you.

    Grab a usb drive that is at least 8gb in size. Make sure everything you want from the flash drive is saved somewhere else.
    Open BootCamp Assistant. Download the lastest windows support software.
    Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp assistant.
    After you have the drivers on the USB, boot into windows and install from the USB.
