Disc won't run says its windows compatible

I need to run a disc that I received from my school. It says minimum requirements:
     200 MHz Processor
     24X CD-ROM Drive
     64 MB of free/available system RAM; 128MB or more recommended
     150 MB disc space
     16-bit/thousands of colors color display with screen resolution of 800 x 600 Windows 98, Me, NT, 200, XP, 7 and Vista compatible
Is there anything I can download to be able to use this disc???

jaylensmom18,
your disc requires one of those versions of Windows to be installed. If you need to run the software on that disc, then you’ll need to purchase one of those versions of Windows to run it. Boot Camp allows you to install some versions of Windows, but it depends upon which model MacBook Pro you have and which version of OS X is installed. Alternatively, you could install Windows inside of a virtualizer such as Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox; Parallels Desktop is a commercial product, and VirtualBox is downloadable gratis.
Does your school provide an alternative to that disc which can be run under OS X without Windows?

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

  • I want to download os x mavericks but it is saying its not compatible. my laptop is on the list of compatible laptops.

    i want to download os x mavericks but it is saying its not compatible. my laptop is on the list of compatible laptops.

    Do  you meet all requirements:
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

    Mike,
    I had a similar issue with Photoshop when I upgraded to both Snow Leopard and Lion.  it turned out to be Rosetta is no longer present in the newer OS.  Once I upgraded to Lion, Appleworks stopped working after all these years.

  • Itunes won't run, says "invalid drive g:\"

    There are two users on my PC. After upgrading to itunes 7 only the user that is the administrator can run itunes. When I log in as the other user and click on itunes, it begins to install then stops and says "invalid drive g:\" What can I do to resolve this?

    Are you trying to RUN it in the other account or INSTALL it. Big difference. You should only have to install iTunes ONCE for the entire computer and all user accounts can use it.
    However only one user account at a time can be running iTunes in Windows (Mac users can have multiple users all running iTunes at the same time). So you installed it on the Admin account. Now shut down iTunes. Open the other account and simply run iTunes (if that isn't what you did before).

  • Help: Lenovo N500 will not start, product recovery disc won't run

    Hi. I am a bit of a laptop dunce so excuse me. My Lenovo N500 has been shutting itself down and not always restarting and the last time I tried a reinstall through the on board system but after a day and a half it was stuck and not changing so I turned it off. Clearly a mistake.
    Now when I try to turn it on I get a black screen
    File:\Boot\NCR
    Status 0xc000000f
    Info An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
    It says to insert Windows installation disc and restart but that just circles back to same screen. I have tried the 2 supplied disks. One called "product recovery CD for lenovo N500 Type 4233" (which is the right one I think) and one called "Rescue and recovery disc for use with Microsoft Windows XP" (pretty sure I have Vista and this disc was supplied for people who wanted to get back to XP.
    I have tried pressing F8 and F11 to no avail (makes a nasty loud hissing sound).
    Any ideas?

    hi Cj75,
    Can you try if the computer have the WinRE Active
    Keep on tapping the F8 key once you power on the system. Then select the Repair your computer option from the boot menu that appears. 
    WinRE photo (http://media.bestofmicro.com/win,B-8-177956-13.jpg)
    If You were able to boot to WinRE
    >In the System Recovery Options dialog box, Try running system restore first to a known good Date where your system state was fine.
    If system restore fails.
    >Try to do this to manually rebuild the BCD
    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER. 
     If this still failed I believe you really have to Reinstall Windows on this
    Try contacting Support in your Are to Order a recovery CD (Fees may apply)

  • ILife 06 installation disc won't run/error message

    Hi,
    a few months ago we bought a macbook which came with iLife 06. The installation disc for iLife says good for 5 computers in the same household. When I try to install if on our older G4, (running 10.4.8), I put the disc in and I get the following error message when I click on the iLife 06 icon:
    "there is no default application specified to open the object "iLife 06"
    I've tried repairing permissions, but same thing. Not sure where to go from here...any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    meganou
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The readme on the install disc says PPC or Intel-based
    That answers that query.
    Am I in the right forum..?
    This is as good as any, since there isn't a dedicated forum to iLife installatiion probems.
    Since you get the same result in a new admin account, you might consider reinstalling the latest COMBO update for your machine, restarting, repairing permissions with Disk Utility, and trying again. Report back.

  • Itunes won't run in my windows media center

    I have installed the latest version of itunes on my windows media center PC (HP pavilion a1320in ). when I launch itunes it does not start and says there is an error and would send the report to MS.........
    any solutions? any patches to be downloaded?

    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
    the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Mac OS X install disc won't run

    In Disk Utility, it says that 'Volume Bitmap needs minor repairs' so I need to repair volume. In order for me to repair it in Disk utility I have to start up from the install disc but upon inserting it into the cd drive of my powerbook G4, it fails to run and ejects it after about a minute.
    What shall I do?
    thanks.

    Hi nebula32, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Tough without the Install disc or something like DiskWarrior, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
    (SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:

    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK 
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *** 

Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • IMac early 2009... won't run 64-bit Windows 7 ?

    I can't believe this. But according to Apple, my computer that's not even a year old cannot run the current 64-bit version of Windows. How lame is that.
