Connecting playbook to desktop using Windows XP

I get the idea that no one has ever connected desktop to playbook using windows xp as the platform.
Am I correct ?
Is my best option to just dump desktop in a bin and try to connect playbook directly to the usb ???
Comms works fine for back up but I guess its something windows xp does to drivers - similar to the problem with windows 7.
Does playbook interface with ANY windows platform ?????

"An internal error has occurred" message when scanning from MX922 to desktop using Windows 7

I am no longer able to scan using my MX922 connected to my desktop running Windows 7 without getting a message on my desktop saying "An internal error has occurred". I have turned the MX922 on and off, I have disconnected both the power cord and USB cable from the MX922 and from my desktop, I have reconnected the USB cable to a different port on my desktop, I have uninstalled all Canon programs from my desktop and reloaded all Canon programs with the MX922 CD, and I have restarted the desktop multiple times. I scan documents several times a week for my business. It has worked fine until today. What do I need to do to correct this problem and get back to scanning?

Hi boisseaujm,
If you temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software that is on your computer, then attempt to scan again, are you able to scan successfully?

the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs). but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

Catch-22'd, can't connect PlayBook to desktop because I can't upgrade the OS because I can't connect it to desktop.

Hi. So, bit of a story here, but my blackberry is officially "Property of Research in Motion", and it arrived as… a PlayBook in a padded manialla envelope, and nothing else. I started it up, reset the system because I didn't know the password, and now I'm at the problem where it asks me to agree to something in the setup, but it won't tell me what and won't let me advance or retry.
This video is an example of the problem I'm having, only with more options in the menu near the end. My menu has no options. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NpMA6YsBAM
So, according to my research, the solution to this is to download the latest desktop manager and use it to upgrade the PlayBook OS so the bug stops happening.
So, when I attach the PlayBook to my computer it makes the little USB-plugged-in noise, pops up the Blackberry Manager thing. However, it just says 'connect a device' on a grey background. I've waited, and the message doesn't go away. (I'm using Windows XP sp3 here, btw, and I downloaded the manager today, version 610_b038.) So, I tried another cable, because that's what might be wrong. One shopping trip later, we know it's not the cable.
Looking up the solution to the manager not recognising the PlayBook, I find that I need to turn WiFi off, restart the tablet, and then it's all good. Well, that'd be nice, but since I'm in 'setup' mode I can't seem to do that. When I turn the wifi off (disconnect button) and restart, when the tablet turns back on it reconnects the wifi.
So, I need to upgrade the tablet software to be able to complete the setup process on it. I need to have completed the setup process in order to upgrade the software.
What do I do?

isnt there a go bak button to get to wifi setup again?
also have you rebootedyour WiFi router? I had to do this at my house for an upgrade as the Routers DHCP server got confused and after reboot it worked fine.

Cannot connect VIA Remote Desktop to Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine

I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise running in a Hyper-V VM. For some reason I cannot connect to the VM using remote desktop. I am using a Microsoft account and remote desktop is enabled and my account has access. I am able to see the VM under
networks and access shared folders. The error I am getting is "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer....".
Any ideas?

My account has access to RDP. The firewall rule to allow RDP was missing the permission for public networks. After this change the RDP client can find the computer and I can get in. Yay!
Thanks for the tip to check the firewall.

Connecting to Remote Desktop using proxy and Remote Desktop Gateway?

I have setup a Remote Desktop Gateway server using Windows Server 2012 R2. I am using the Remote Desktop Gateway as an intermediary between to provide the remote desktop session over 443 since 3389 is blocked at many client locations.
However, I ran into a problem with a client who's using a web proxy.
Is is possible to configure Remote Desktop to connect via web proxy? If so, how? If not does any one have any suggestions on how to provide a Remote Desktop session via 443 over proxy for situations where you don't control the client's PC or network? Does RemoteApps
allow for access via web proxy when using RD Gateway?
The error message is below:
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the web proxy server requires authentication. To allow unauthenticated traffic to an RD Gateway server through your web proxy server, contact your network administrator.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
My suggestion is to setup a RD Web Access server and make it available for your clients via proxy.

Data Connection to MS-SQL using Windows Auth from untrusted machine

We have an Excel Spreadsheet that uses a Data Connection to a MS-SQL database. The database server is joined to our domain, and Windows Authentication is enabled.
Here is a sample of the connection string (with revealing info obfuscated):
Description=DataConnection;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=10.x.y.z;UID=domain_user;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Office 2010;DATABASE=DatabaseName
And the Authentication Settings are set to "Windows Authentication"
This works perfectly fine from a domain-joined / trusted machine. It doesn't even ask for credentials; it just works flawlessly when I hit Refresh.
It will work from a non-domain / un-trusted workstation, if I use SQL Authentication. But we are trying to move away from that.
Likewise, it will from a non-domain machine using Windows Authentication if I use "runas" to launch Excel with domain credentials, as follows:
"runas /netonly /user:domain\user %path-to-excel%\excel.exe"
However, using "runas" is a kludge, and our employees will almost certainly have issues... even if I were to create batch files to help automate it.
When launching Excel normally (without using "runas") from a non-domain machine, it gives this error when I hit Refresh:
Upon hitting OK, I have the option to un-check "Use Trusted Connection" and manually enter a user/password. I put in a valid user that would be able to connect fine from a domain-joined machine, or that worked fine using "runas".
This is the error it gives with that:
At this point, I have not a clue what to do to get Excel to successfully connect with domain credentials from a non-domain machine.
Ideas?

Hi ltwally1,
From your description, you want to connect to non-domain machines using domain credentials. Based on my research, you can use the
ShellRunAs utility to achieve your requirement , it provides functionality similar to that of RunAs to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry.
Reference:
How to Run Programs as a Domain User from a Non-domain Computer.
However, if you still encounter issues by using ShellRunAs utility, you can consider to use the Credential Manager built into Windows. For more details, please review
this similar
blog.

Connecting to Wireless Network Using Windows in Boot Camp

Hello!
I installed Windows on my MacBook Pro, and I know how connect to the internet using Mac OS X, but I have no idea how to connect to my AirPort network in Windows. I know it must be simple, but I just don't know what to do.
Thank you!

I went to Microsoft's site and looked up how to connect to a wireless network. You have to enter the wireless address or something into Internet Explorer.
-Hope this helps!

I have a HP Pavilion P6000 Desktop. Model p6531p. For about 2 weeks now, if I stop using my computer for even 5 minutes,
the processor will turn itself completely off. Is there something that was set incorrectly that I can change myself?? I'm using Windows 7 (if that makes any difference).

The model you have given is just a series number. For better assistance, please provide the full HP model name and/or product number of the computer in question. Please check "Control Panel" > "Power Options" for settings that may affect your computer in the manner you describe.

Connecting nano to pc using windows 2000... help???????

how can i connect my nano to the pc using windows 2000???????

Posted this in another thread, but since I just got my 3g Nano today, I think I have it figured out.
Download and install the latest Winamp free player. Download the install latest iPod Wimamp plugin from sourceforge. A pop-up will prompt you on which iPod you have--choose the right one. Fine-tune in preferences (i.e. which letter drive your iPod shows up in, etc.). Re-start your computer. Launch Winamp. Everything should work now.
Under the Media Library tab, click on "Devices", then "iPod". Open the folder with all your music from the playlist and you can add music from there. I just right-clicked the whole thing and sent it to the iPod. All the track/artist/album information loads up fine. That's how I do it, at least. I still use iTunes to encode AACs and open the finished folder from Winamp, but iTunes tends to get in the way now.

Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

Why cannot I see my music on my iPod when connected to the pc, using Windows explorer

I am having problems with seeing my iPod Classic in my Windows Explorer.... when connecting using the correct leads I can only see the non-essential directoris, my music is hidden and is shown as F1, F2, F3,etc......
Please help as I wish to transfer the music to my netbook...
Thanks

Those F1, F2, etc., folders are the ones containing your actual music. If you copy these over to your Desktop and then into iTunes most of your track tags should still be with associated with the correct tracks in these folders. Some may not.
