Could I install OS-X on an HP 510 Laptop running an Intel 2.13 processor?

I hate PCs but, here in the office, I have staff using them for MS Access and data processing etc.. However, I saw what I thought was a bargain today in a new HP laptop running what I think is the same processor in my Mini-Mac. The question is would I be able to run OS-X on this alongside Vista or would it be a case of wiping the drive and installing Tiger? I'd like to run Access on the Mac but that's another problem!

Yes - that's pretty good advice. I wasn't aware that it was illegal. Thanks. The idea to install boot camp is an option I must admit. It would only be for Access which is a **** nuisance in that it'll only run on a PC. I thought I sawy something recently on a UK Mac Users forum that there is a programme that will run an XP programme on a Mac. Not sure how successful it would be with Office 2003 though. It's just hassle everytime I need one of the databases in use here....
Thanks to you both!

  • How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64

    I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor.  I want to do two things:
    to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop.  Having done this, I then want
    to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
    So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem.  It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install.  I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed.  Access is denied  ".  Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
    By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.  
    Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
    Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly.  I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
    So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial?  Can HP do anything about this?

  • I cannot get iTunes to complete a clean install of 10.5.3 on my laptop running Win7-64 after numerous attempts of install, repair, uninstall, repeat, etc.  Reply is "Could not complete...missing component...repair or reinstall...(-42404); suggestions?

    iTunes update 10.5.3 for Win7 64 bit will not install completely and does not recognize iPhone 4s.  Error messages indicate components missing, and numerous efforts to repair, uninstall, reinstall have all failed. Error (-42404) is constant; any suggestions?

  • Installing iTunes and QuickTime on an HP laptop running Windows 7.

    I get error 2738 when:
              installing todays downloads or when
              uninstalling a preinstalled 2009 version of QuickTime.
    I have seen and successfully applied the solution offerred at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1331.
    Twice.
    Restarted the computer and applied that solution again, and again with the message indicating success.
    And each time get the error 2738 message.

    I also looked through the earlier messages and saw something about
    a logon as a simple user.
    Did this and then noticed the uninstaller in QuickTime folder.
    Used this and QuickTime uninstalled without error (2738 or anything else).
    Continued to be logged on as this simple user.
    Ran the iTunes installer (answering yes to security questions).
    Installed both iTunes and QuickTime without error.

  • Can I install windows 8.1 on my Aspire 5735-6694. Intel core duo processor T6400. 4 GB1 DDR2

    I would like to install windows 8.1 on my Aspire 5735-6694 laptop.  Intel core 2 Duo processor T6400. 2.0 GHZ 800 MHZ FSB, 2MB L2 cache. 1695 MB mobile intel graphics media accelerator 4500 MHD. 4GB DDR2 memory. 250 GB HDD. DVD multi DL. Appreciate any info anybody can give me.  Thank You

    You need to run that file on a windows machine.
    It will ask you for your product key.
    As you progress through the screens it gives you the option to download the iso or make a usb drive install.
    I haven't been able to install windows 8.1 either. The windows install fails on me shortly after choosing which drive to install windows on. I can't remember the error message.
    Any help on that would be appreciated.

  • Everytime firefox updates I loose my Blue Mountain access. the pop-up reads Create & print plug-in could not install because it is not compatable with firefox 4.0.1

    went to use create & print in bluemountain got "In order to use create & print in Mozilla you must download and install latest version. Do you want to install plug-in?" (clicked OK). Next message was "Firefox prevented this site (www.bluemountain.com) from asking you to install software on your computer" (clicked Allow) Next message "Create & Pring plugin could not install because it is not compatible with firefox 4.0.1" -- this sound like a firefox problem not bluemountain. Please help... I am paying to use bluemountain and firefox is not letting me get my $$$$ worth out of that site.

  • "The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed"

    For several months now I have tried unsuccessfully to install iTunes on my laptop computer. The older versions worked, with several bugs, but they worked nonetheless. After installing EITHER iTunes or QuickTime, I get the messages:
    "The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed" or "The installation was interrupted before QuickTime could be installed". The result is that NOTHING has been installed on my harddrive. I have read over many previous tech support posts on this forum and have tried many of the proposed solutions to other peoples' problems.
    This isn't necessarily an error message because it doesn't 'popup' after installation, but rather is on the iTunes+QuickTime screen that begins by saying "the iTunes for Windows installer has completed". Immediately underneath is where I get "The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be installed". Followed by "the system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again." (no ****?). My only option at this point is to click "Finish", which takes me back to the desktop with no sign of iTunes or anything.

    Just noticed the post below mine solved this problem. Now additional problems have arisen...

    From what I've read online this problem seems to be born of installing SCCm on the D: drive which throws dotNET. A few people seem to have had some luck with editing two of the dotNET files (regsvcs.exe.config and InstallUtil.exe.config) to include
    the following lines:
        <runtime>
            <loadfromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
        </runtime>
    In pursuit of a fix, I took backups of both files and then made the change to regsvc.exe.config but I was unable to do the same with Installutil.exe.config (opening the file in Admin Notepad would only let me Save As...).
    Can anyone suggest what the problem could be? Am I barking up the wrong tree with the config file editing? Any info/advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could try to copy Installutil.exe.config and edit the copy-file. Then copy the edited file to replace the old file.

  • Im trying to install iTunes on my friend's Dell XPS, running windows vista ultimate (32-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:   "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be instal

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

    Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
    The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Could i install a hdmi or video card on a hp 600 all in one mine did not come with one ?

    My hp touchsmart 600 all in one did not come with a hdmi or rca port only coax port.
    Could i install  one or how could i play my xbox on it? it has a delay that dont let you play the game. help

    Hello @kingdavid1977,
    I understand that you are looking for a graphics card for your computer. Although I cannot recommend a specific card for you I can tell you this. According to the HP TouchSmart 600-1350 Desktop PC Product Specifications you have an open Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM 3.0) socket available on your computer and as long as you install a card that meets that slot you should be able to get your game console to connect.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
