Bootcamp doesn't start Windows XP anymore

Hi,
Several weeks ago, I faced an issue with my bootcamp windows XP partition and my iMac wasn't able to start from it, when I chose from startup screen. So, I decided to try to insert my Windows XP setup CD and launched bootcamp again. I saw the CD icon and was able to choose to boot from it. In fact, it rally booted on it and started the setup process as I thought, proposing me to Repair an exiting installation. That's what I did and it worked very well, as I was able again to start on my Windows XP hard drive partition and work with it.
Today, I faced the same issue, with the difference that I can't boot from the CD anymore: bootcamp stays frozen on the bootcamp screen.
Could anybody help, please?
Thx
Claudio

Hi,
I found some stuff, but it didn't work for me. Maybe you can give it a try.
1. Deactivate Proxy
Add or edit javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE in the javaws.cfg file.
2. Deactivate Splashscreen
Add option "-Xnosplash" in the Windows registry for the .JNLP ending, i.e. "C:\Program Files\Java Web Start\javaws.exe" "-Xnosplash" "%1"
3. Run with Java VM
I created a .BAT file:
SET JWS=C:/Programme/Java Web Start
java -cp "%JWS%/javaws.jar" "-Djnlpx.home=%JWS%" com.sun.javaws.Main %1
To run Java Web Start simply run the .BAT file. To run a specific application run the .BAT file with the complete URL of the .JNLP file.
If this works for you, please drop a note here! Thanks!

    Answer this: do you have NTFS for OS X installed?
    That is the only time normally though not always that Windows won't show in
    System Preferences: Startup Disk: control panel
    > i have upgrade Bootcamp over Win7, i upgrade too Win7
    Boot Camp is only Apple drivers.
    So other than language, you are running Windows natively. Only.
    You don't upgrade Boot Camp. You probably do have Windows updates of course.

    You should read the Boot Camp Installation Guide.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    And you should visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Snow Leopard forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Mac Mini 2012 bootcamp doesn't install Windows 7 or 8. Help

    So I have a new Mac mini late 2012 model, i7 4GB stock ram. I'm trying to install a windows 8 through bootcamp. I have a legitimate windows 8 professional DVD disc that I bought from best buy. I'm using an LG USB external DVD drive. Bootcamp partitions the drive just fine but when it restarts, it will not load, I just get a black screen with a blinking curser/dash thingy in the top left corner. I have tried several other copies of windows, through DVD AND through bootable USB and it never gets past this point.
    Any ideas????
    Thank you.
    -Dean

    I will be installing Win7 Pro on my new mac mini today once the migration assistant completes transfering my data. I will keep you posted on how it goes. My new mini is i7 1 TB HDD and 4 GB ram (for now until I max out the ram). I dread the updates for Win7 as I don't have a version with SP1. Oh well.. Also I am using an external mac superdrive for installation.

  • Java Web Start doesn't start (Windows XP)

    Hi,
    I've installed Java Web Start on a Windows XP machine. When I try to run an application or I try to open Java Web Start directly the "Java Web Start" splash screen appears for a few seconds and than disappears and nothing else happens.
    I heard that other people using Windows XP have the same problem. Can anyone help?
    Java Runtime is 1.4.0, but I also tried some other runtimes as well with the same result.

  • Adobe Cloud doesn´t start on windows start?

    Any idea?
    Thx for help

    Hi w4ll4ce,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    There is an option in the CC preferences which turns off the Launch at startup. Go to the CC icon to bring up the window and then click on the ger icon. Now select the Preferences...command.
    on the window that now displays, check the 'Start at launch' option, and close the window via red button in the upper left.
    Now the CC will start at launch of the windows i.e at the start up.

  • MacBook Pro, randomly Windows 7 doesn't start and screen goes blank

    Hi, I installed Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit) using the BootCamp on my MacBook Pro (MBP) i7, mid 2010. Installation was successful without any issues. This is my first Mac and, for now, I primarily use Windows on my MBP. The problem: After selecting Windows OS, randomly, Windows doesn't start and the screen goes blank. When this happens, most of the time I have to press the power button twice and press the Option key again to restart in Windows. Sometimes I have to hold down power button for several seconds to turn off MBP, then power it back on to start over. Windows 7 seems to restart on second try every time.
    I can tell when the screen will go blank and Windows will not start, when the blinking cursor does not appear on upper left corner of the screen. Also, I enabled Windows OS Boot Log and nothing displays when this happens.
    I took in my MBP, twice, to local Apple store Genius Bar and I was told that it was a Windows problem and I must purchase AppleCare Protection Plan to get help resolving the blank screen. It was explained to me that AppleCare had Windows experts who can help with resolving the issue. Therefore I purchased the AppleCare Protection Plan and spoke to AppleCare directly and still no resolution.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp, this is a general MBP forum and most of us don't use Boot Camp or Windows. The link to that forum is:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
    Apple does support Boot Camp however if your problem is with Windows Apple does not support a Microsoft product. You would need to contact Microsoft for help.

  • OracleXETNSListener doesn't start on Windows XP

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle Database Express 10g which includes Apex 2.1 on Windows XP Pro sp1, with the standard options.
    It ran well until I stop and start my PC.
    The apex home page doesn't work anymore. The raison seems to be the TNS listner which doesn't start.
    Regarding similar posts on the forum, I tried multiple solutions, but it ever doesn't work.
    The listener can't be restarded.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.
    the  iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
    It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
    failed to create an ipc port access is denied
    Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
    I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
    I am using Windows XP SP3
    I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
    I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
    I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
    Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
    I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?

    Are you able to access the BIOS?
    Check this by pressing the F2 button after powering on the unit.
    If this isnt possible, there must be some kind of hardware problem (motherboard, RAM).
    In case you could access the BIOS, check the first BIOS page. Usually the HDD should be listed there. HDD name, size information should be visible.
    In case this HDD isnt listed, I assume your HDD is faulty and should be replaced.
    Of course, you would need to reinstall the system once again.
    In case the HDD is listed in BIOS, I would recommend you to boot using the Recovery disk (or another Windows installation disk) in order to reinstall the system.

  • MBP 17" ub doesn't install windows anymore

    When my MBP arrived in march I installed Win Vista 64-bit on the 320GB hdd through Bootcamp. In April I swapped the hdd for a OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD and also installed Vista through Bootcamp.
    Last week I swapped the OCZ Vertex for an Intel X25-M (latest firmware installed) and tried to install Vista through Bootcamp but there appeared no installation screen, just a black screen (apart from a cursor blinking twice in the upper left corner and then disappear). I re-installed the 320GB hdd and took the Intel SSD out, but now I can't install Vista on the original hdd either! Tried the Vertex and it won't start Vista installation either.
    I always use the original Vista Ultimate SP1 dvd provided by Microsoft. Windows 7 build 7000 would also install fine on the 320GB hdd and the Vertex, but not now anymore (tried to install the RC build 7100).
    I use the Bootcamp option to start installation, but booting the MBP while holding the option-key and then selecting the Windows dvd won't start installation either (the screen simply stays black (waited for 15 minutes one time).
    Both resets (smc and cmd-option-p-r) brought no solution so far.
    Anyone have a clue as to what might have happened to my MBP?

    Hmm.
    All I can think of is that your package db isn't updated or the proper repos aren't enabled.
    pacman -Sy
    Does pacman work and all?

    Enabling DRI and disabling DRI doesn't help.  Updating to the latest wine 0.9.30-1 also didn't change anything.

    Problem is solved.  Had to delete the .wine folder.  Lost all utorrent settings, but it works again now.
