Can not get mac to run Windows Virtual PC

I tried to download VM 7 but I cannot get it to load. It says that I have downloaded it earlier today. I tried but was unsuccessful at downloading it. Is there any way of finding it with Finder so I can uninstall it?

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    Let us go through the usual drill on this...Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit)
    1. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? Go to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13, find the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right click it, select and apply Run As Administrator from the pop up menu that appears, and then double click that file to determine if you can open the program from it.
    2. Does the problem issue exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    4. How many video cards/graphics cards do you find under Device Manager/Display Adapters, what card name, driver date and up to date version number?
    When you say it will not run...how far into the program do you get...
    a. no further than the Welcome Screen and Video/New Project
    b. other
    If non of the above gets us anywhere, we may go for
    a. deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 13.0 Folder in which it exists
    and, if necessary, then
    b. the uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Details to follow if needed.
    We will be watching for your results and then decide what next.

  • Can not get access files from Windows 7 to Claims-based file authorization share

    We have AD level 2012R2, DCs running 2012R2 of course, and we have clustered File Server (3 FSNodes running 2012R2).
    We enabled 2 policies 
    KDC Support for claim
    Kerberos support for claim
    We created 1 claim type in ADAC (For example "Division" Source Property). Filled this property to all IT AD Accounts by our value "IT"
    On FS made a share folder ITDivision:
    - set permissions  Domain Users can Modify if User.Division equals "IT"
    so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
    =\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)

    Hi,
    >>so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
    =\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)
    How is it going? Was there any error message? As far as I know, Dynamic Access Control (DAC) should work for downlevel clients. It’s backwards compatible. As Florain explains in the following blog:
    For non-Windows 8 and non-Windows Server 2012 boxes accessing DAC-protected file shares, the users do not carry any claims. For them, the Server 2012-based file share will query Active Directory and proxy the claims request to figure out what claims
    the user and machine bring. The file server checks in the name of the user, whether they should have claims. With that information, the file server evaluates the access to the file share. So yeah – DAC works for downlevel clients, too. It’s backwards compatible.
    And totally transparent to Windows 7.

  • W530 Can not see SSD (Bios or Windows Installati​on)

    Hi all,
    I have been workign on this for a bit now and can't see mto get it figured out. I referenced past threads on this forum for help, but so far no luck.
    Basically I am tryign to install a new Samsung SSD into a W530, however, I can not get the Bios or Windows instalation to see it (when you select what driev you want to install windows on).
    I can externally attach the SSD to my other laptop and see the drive. I can create partitions, format them, etc. But none of that helped my original issue.
    I have also updated to the latest BIOS version, tried turning off UEFI, no luck.
    Any ideas on what I am missign here to get this SSD to show up?
    Thanks,
    Jeryn
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you replacing the spinner in your W530 with the SSD? Main drive bay?
    The side rails from the old spinner must be removed from the old drive and attached to the sides of the SSD, before putting it into the bay.  However as is shown in the user manual, they actually must be attached "upside down" (or maybe inside out as well?? I forget now) for the SSD from the orientation that they had with the spinner.  I assume this is because of a slight height difference in the two drives as far as where the rear electrical connector on the drive mates with the correnspinding connector inside the bay.
    The reversal of the side rails will raise (or lower?) the SSD drive, so that its electrical connector meets the drive bay electrical connector properly.  Now when you push in the SSD drive all the way, you're really making true electrical contact and presumably the SSD will now be seen.
    With the side rails attached incorrectly, when you push the SSD all the way in, the drive electrical connector is completely missing the drive bay connector, and there is zero electrical contact.  It's just sitting in the drive bay physcially.
    I made this same mistake myself when installing my Samsung 840 Pro SSD to replace the factory 500GB spinner in my own W530. Played with this for an hour, before finally interpreting the picture from the user manual as an indication there were two different orientations of the side rails that were actually different, for spinner vs. SSD, and exactly what that meant in terms of attaching the rails to the drive before inserting it into the main bay.

    In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
    java -version
    (don't get creative and type anything else)

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • Please I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/

    I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/
    Please help if can figure this out. I'm convinced it is a Windows XP SP3 problem from searching on google and seeing other ppl on XP SP3 with same problem (but no working solution for myself). I'll try to be complete-listing all I've done.
    I had installed: Java SE Runtime Environment v6u14 for Windows Multi-language
    I had checked here it was working properly: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
    I'm trying to run this jar file (soht-client-0.6.2.jar):
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/telnetoverhttp/soht-java-client-0.6.2.zip?download
    http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/soht/javaclient.html < this is the information for the program.
    (yes the file can be executed and should open the program's window
    I wanted to post screenshot of it but friend that it's working for isn't here)
    _(Please find log of all cmds I did in this post here: http://pastebin.com/f792983df )_
    _I have extracted +'all' the files to: C:\062\+_ (I have tried using other directories, same problem)
    ++I then start/open/run/cmd+
    then I: cd C:\062\+
    then I try various commands - all+ of these do absolutely nothing- meaning no errors, no reply, no window opens, nothing except enters that directoy again:
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar

    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties

    the application in the same directory as the soht.properties
    file, or specify the file name on the command line:

    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\062\soht.properties
    So then I copy soht.properties to C root and do:
    java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\soht.properties <same error as above
    Then from other information I have read I right click on the .jar file, select open with Always open with:
    _"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"_
    Try again.. same problem.
    Then I do cmd:
    _"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\062\soht-client-0.6.2.jar"_
    does nothing, retry the other commands same thing (either nothing or those same replies)
    Then I read (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5384879) someone had the same problem as I and they solved it by uninstalling all Java/reboot/ then install JDK 6 Update 14 with NetBeans 6.5.1 start NetBeans and then it worked for them.
    So I unistalled all Java, rebooted and gave the cmd another try (before re-installing), now a new error, of course:
    C:\062>java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    Then I install  Java SE and NetBeans Cobundle (JDK 6u14 and NB 6.5.1) Final Release/ reboot/ open Netbeans/
    go to test java page; all is good, run cmds again -and still nothing..

    Thank you very much for your time :D_
    PS. My computer has been newly reformatted so needing another reformat I'm sure is not the solution.

    Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
    Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
    Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
    This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
    swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
    The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    Thank you again...the mystery remains
    PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).
