Can 2 gb ram on 2.4GHz run windows 7 using parallell desktop

If I buy the new 13 inches 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM, is it enough to run Windows seven using Parallel Desktop or should I have 4GB of RAM?
Thank you

When running a virtual machine such as Parallel you'd be better off running as much memory in the Book that you can afford. 4GB should be enough but 2GB you may find a little troublesome.
Also look into Sun's "Virual Box" it is a free VM. Not as many bells and whistles as Parallels but work very well.

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT. All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will. Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working. There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface.
Note: All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers. These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers. These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers. If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below). If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface. This just makes anything you have to type easier to type. You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
Touch Devices and Printers.
Touch Add a Printer.
Touch “My printer is not listed”.
Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next. Note: You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it. The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.
For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install. If it does skip to step 14 below.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Under the Search box, touch Settings.
In the Search box, type Device Manager.
Touch Device Manager.
Touch View and select Show Hidden.
Search for the printer in the Device Manager. It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
Select the printer from the list.
Touch Action.
Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. What gives?

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. How can I fix this?

Hi,
Occasionally, the Welcome screen leaves a process running which prevents the second attempt to start the organizer or editor.
There is no fix but the workaround is to create shortcuts direct to the applications and use them each time.
Create shortcuts pointing to the following files:-
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Please let us know if they work.
Good luck

Running Windows 8 on Parallels, do I need new windows copy to run Bootcamp?

I currently run Windows 8 on Parallels 8, but wanted to run Windows 8 on Bootcamp.... would I need a new copy of windows or is there a way to use the same one?

If you are talking about on the same computer, don't install Windows again. Just start Parallels and tell it to use your already Bootcamp installed Windows as the guest OS. You then can use a single installation of Windows interchangeably from Bootcamp or from Parallels.
If you already have Windows installed in Parallels you can't do what I suggested without removing Windows in Parallels then installing Windows in Boorcamp first.

I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

Probably. You may be able to use Finder > Go > Connect to server to access the server. You may be able to share folders using Remote Desktop too. Whichever one you like the best.

Can't Update CS4 on New Laptop Running Windows 7 64bit

I just upgraded a 2 year old slow laptop running 32 bit Vista to a brand new Asus G73JW laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. It is a really fast laptop with 8G RAM, 1.5GB dedicated graphics card, full 1920 x 1080 HD res, solid state drive for operating drive etc. It is a beast of a laptop that boots up fully in about 10 seconds and it was built for HD gamers. Needless to say I am pretty excited to get to work on my favourite Adobe software, which is Premiere Pro and Photoshop mostly.
Everything on the laptop works great but... I installed my CS4 Production Premium without a problem, however, the Adobe Updater will not work. I tried it about 10 times now, rebooting, trying various programs to try the updates etc, to no avail. They are very important updates, as the software will not function properly in several programs without the updates. I can't find anything about this specific issue, has anyone had this problem with Windows 7 64 bit?
FYI everything worked fine with the Vista 32 bit, including updates.
I am pretty frustrated now and I just want to start using the software, and I would really appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.
I already have an e-mail in to Asus to find out if the latest NVidia GTX 460M graphics card driver can be updated on my system. There are a few other drivers I am looking into updating as well to see if that will help.
Thank you in advance,
Aaron

As to your overall problem, Win7 has a lot of automatic security settings that you may need to fix

Can't sync photos to my PC running Windows 7

I have a Windows PC running Windows 7. I used to be able to sync photos from my iPhone 3GS through iTunes, but now I can't get the photos to sync. When I used to connect my iPhone, I used to get a prompt to download the photos to a new folder in Windows Live Photo Gallery. Now, no bueno.
I'd appreciate any assistance other users could offer.

I can't get 5.1 Surround Sound running Windows 7, Mid-2010 Mac Pro

Hello,
So I'm running bootcamp on my Mid-2010 Mac Pro and I can't get Dolby Surround Sound to run from the Realtek HD Audio Manager. Is there a way to produce true Dolby 5.1? I understand this may be more bootcamp related than to the actual hardware itself but I figured this is the best place to start troubleshooting this.
Thanks

I can try-dunno how much help I'll be, though
go here for Realtek drivers for surround sound
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=37&Level=5&Co nn=4&ProdID=144
try this: go to Windows Sound, then playback devices, then click on speakers icon (should have realtek as default). Click on that, and click configure
if realtek has a sound manager, try clicking on that, and a config dialog might appear
sorry can't be much more help than that

When you run windows 7 using bootcamp, are you able to run Command Prompt as you would on a regular pc?

Because I want to be able to do things like Visual Basic and run programs,codes,etc. I just don't want to get a PC. I'm studying Computer Science and I know most of the things I will be dealing with will mainly be with Windows OS is why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance

Running Windows in a Boot Camp partition is the same as running Windows on a Windows PC.

I can't use Parallels Desktop after I installed Lion

Every time I try to start Parallels Desktop I get an error message about "no driver found" and "start your mac again".

Thank's for the response.
I'm running version 5 of Parallels and that's obvious causing the problem. I will upgrade to version 7 and see if that solves the problem.
Thanks,
Bjorn

Shut down issue on 27" iMac running Windows XP using VMWare Fusion 3

I'm running Windows XP on a 27" iMac using VMWare Fusion 3. When I try to shut down the Mac system without using Windows, a dark (not black) screen covers the screen from top to bottom and presents me with a screen, stating in multiple languages that I must press the power button for 5 seconds and then restart the Mac. Then the iMac will close normally.
However, if I run both the Mac system and Windows, and then close Windows, VMFWare Fusion 3, followed by the Mac system, the iMac shouts down normally.
What's going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

I run XP under Fusion 3 and have not seen this issue. What you are getting is a Kernel Panic. There should be more information in your console logs about the reason.
Here is some info on KPs to help you.
