Hi:
You have to load the applicable SATA AHCI or RAID driver either by slipstreaming them, or by using the F6 key and installing the driver from a USB floppy disk drive.
See this guide for how to slipstream the drivers. Read the intel section and then follow the instructions in the downloadable document to slipstream all of the drivers.

How to downgrade easily from windows 8.1 OEM to Windows 7 Pro

Hi,
I've tried to get used to Windows 8.1 (7 months), but I did not find a solution to get the classic view (3D look instead of the extra flat look) nor to play spider solitaire in a windowed mode, it always opens in full screen (desktop PC 2560x1440). If I
get the game in a small windows, it's a "crab view" = lateral.
I've created an account and when I went online the 1st time, Microsoft made it a MS account and I don't have my own account anymore. I don't feel that I own the PC, it doesn't feel like my personal PC. It feels like a public internet PC. I have no pleasure
at all using it.
I feel sad because I have been saving money for so long to buy a powerful PC with a nice large screen and it is so disappointing because of Windows 8.1 OEM. I have a license for Windows 7 Pro but if install it and it does not work (I can't find all the drivers),
the company I bought it from warns me I will lose my warranty.
It seems incredible to me that I have now 1st to pay Windows 8.1 Pro (I want to run away from it) in order to get downgrade rights. I feel miserable and helpless.
In the past I have bought a PC every time there was a new O/S (Windows 3.1, 95, 98, Millennium, Windows 2000, XP, XP Pro, Vista Home, Windows 7 Home.
Please any help is appreciated. I would like to be able to downgrade automatically, like when you click the "Windows update item in Start Menu" that everything happens automatically, but instead of upgrading I would like to downgrade.
Caroline

You can only do a clean install of Windows 7 to "downgrade" from Windows 8.1. There is no other path.
And you must ensure your hardware has support for Windows 7. Many of the platforms with Windows 8 do not have the necessary drivers to support the installation.
Follow Milos Puchta's advise and contact the manufacturer/vendor of your system for all assistance in this endeavor.

Help needed upgrading from Windows 8 to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

I upgraded from Windows 8 to XP and got everything else working except for the sound. I have scoured the internet and tried many versions of drivers from windows 7 ones to XP ones with no success. I tried older driver´s version as well. After a reboot there is no sound device loaded in the control panel for sound. I have a C845D-SP4327SL model laptop. Does anyone have any process to make this work that is proven? Thanks

hi. if you want to that your sound device was in control panel after a reboot , here is only one solution for that, all you have to do is upgrade first hdaudio bus controler. Driver must be copied first from computer with Vista os. if your xp is 32bit you have to copy this driver from any Vista x32 if your xp is 64 bit then Vista must be x64 as well. driver for forced upgrade through device menager you will find in any vista os Windows--> System32-->DriverStore-->FileRepository-->hdaudbus.inf9689af2f
once copied that file from any computer equiped with Windows Vista , copy it on your desktop, next step go to the device menager and find in system device tab 2 entries UUA High definition audio and update both by forced update. You have to point exactly where is located your driver copied from vista. after this update your sound device will be in the control panel and device manager always and permanent.
I had the same problem with my xp instaled on satelite p500 and only this solution solved my problem with disappearing sound device after reboot.
ps. if this solution help you please tell us about it.

I tried to update itunes to the latest version yet it wont update. Im currently getting a error message,from Window Installer, configuration dat for this product is corru

I'm trying to update itunes but not very successful and im not making much progress. Im currently getting a message on the screen from Window Installer quoting configuration data for this product is corrupt while trying

The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files from Windows XP to PDF for Windows 7.

I need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files into PDF from a Windows XP operating system to a Windows 7 operating system. It tells me I need a postscript printer. I don't have a postscript printer and really don't want to print them. I just want to transfer the files from Windows XP to Windows 7. Help!!

No, it isn't telling you that you need a PostScript printer. It's telling you that you need a PostScript printer DRIVER, which is software, not a printer.
Use the Add Printer function to add an Apple LaserWriter IINTX. That's a PostScript printer. Then try again.
I don't quite understand the Windows 7 connection, though. What are you hoping to achieve by making a PDF. You WON'T be able to edit them, if that's the idea.

Downgrade me from Windows 8 to 7

How can I go from Windows 8 that came on my new PC, back to Windows 7 /64bit. Win 7 install doesn't like the GPT partitions, and since the computer didn't even come with any OS disk, there is no partitioning software. (There are no utilities on
the Win 7 disk either.) I have a Gateway DX4870 w/ 1TB HD w/ factory installed OS.
Windows 8 sucks big time. If I wanted a tablet I would have just bought one! I cant even print a web page or mail, and the Explorer has no file search. Where is the functionality? Why do I have to go to the Start screen to switch apps. There are
no tabs to switch between them. The browser is a nightmare. Microsoft spent decades improving the look and feel of Windows and all of a sudden it's half of what it was. Do I have to buy a Pro version to get past basic?

Hi ,
You can use Disk Management to partition and format a hard disk in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
To open the Disk-Management,
Start RUN with keys [Win-Logo]+[R] and type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter to open the Disk-Management.
In Windows 8, you can press the key combination [Win-Logo]+[X] simply click on Disk Management. And open directly Disk Management.

Want to downgrade laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 - Not seeing Windows 7 drivers on HP website

Hello, I purchased a HP Envy TouchSmart 17 Model: j153cl Notebook that came pre-installed with Windows 8. I can't stand Windows 8, it just doesn't work for me. I want to install Windows 7, which I have purched a legal version of. Before I install it though, I want to make sure that there are drivers available for my Labtop (make sure the laptop will run windows 7). When I search the model on HP website, it only shows drivers for Windows 8. Is my computer compatible with Windows 7? If so, where can I get the drivers? Please help!!! Thank you in advance.

Hi:
HP is aware of the drivers missing from the support pages issue and is working on resolving it.
It is affecting hundreds of notebook models.
Since I don't work for HP, I do not know when the sites will be operational again.
This has happened once before, so hopefully they learned from past experience how to troubleshoot the problem.
With the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, that has delayed things, I'm sure.
We are on the third day of this problem.
Once they fix the problem, there should be W7 x64 drivers listed.
If for some reason there aren't, then you can use the ones from the 17t-j100.

Connecting to USB printer on Extreme from Windows XP - what worked for me.

See this post which I found here in the discussions but somewhat buried: : http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
The key difference in the above to what is in the Apple Support listing is that one must insure that the protocol for the port setting is RAW and not LPR. Mine was set to LPR by default (?), and after I changed it, printing from XP worked.
After setting up three Macs in minutes, spending hours on getting XP to work is more evidence of why Macs are superior.

Actually, if you had used Bonjour for Windows, you won't have run into the above problem.
Actually, I would use Bonjour for Windows to resolve the printer name rather than type in the IP address manually. This way, if the IP address of the print does get moved later on, Bonjour can keep track with the changes, so you don't.

Going from Windows to Mac - Upgrade for Elements?

Yes, you can purchase an upgrade for a different OS than the version you are upgrading from.

Windows 7 Professional downgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro OEM

Hi,
I purchased new computers for a small business with Windows 8.1 Pro OEM licenses and disks. I was intending to install windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights but when I enter the product key that came with Windows 8.1 it gives me an error with "Invalid
Character".
How can I activate Windows 7 Pro using downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro?
Thank you.
André Gomes

You cannot use a Windows 8.1 product key with a Windows 7 installation. You must "activate by phone" and hold on to speak with a Microsoft Activation
Specialist and explain your desire to invoke your downgrade rights to Windows 7. The Microsoft Activation Specialist will then review your request and if approved, will issue you an activation code for Windows 7.

SSO Configuration from Windows to ITS

Hi SAP Gurus,
WE have our BI 7.0 system in our landscape, where SSO from windows has been configured for the
BI portal and BI queries to be run and which is running fine.
Now, we have a requirement where in we need to configure SSO from windows to the web services which are running on ITS.
Like , we have certain web services , which have the URL as:
http://lv-cphsapbi1.cph.dk:8016/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?INITIAL_STATE=VIEW&INITIAL_STATE-VIEW=XV_PCA_FIN_RVW_MTH_YTD_V2
Where 8016 is the ITS port.
Has anybody worked on such a configuration before. IF yes, then sharing of some documentation and some guidance would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Santosh Bhat

Dear Santosh Bhat
Regarding the application on ITS, i.e
http://lv-cphsapbi1.cph.dk:8016/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?INITIAL_STATE=VIEW&INITIAL_STATE-VIEW=XV_PCA_FIN_RVW_MTH_YTD_V2
Normally, how do you launch it?
- open a browser and type the URL directly?
or
- login the backend ABAP, and then jump to a browser from a certain transaction?
or
- login the portal firstly and open the ITS application as a kind of iView? if yes, what kind of iView it is?
I hope to be able to provide you some hints after you clarify the scenario.
Thanks

Windows shared folder asks for permanently delete

Hi,
Any file from windows shared folder asks for permanently delete and after that it is not recoverable... Please help, how to enable recycle bin service??

Hi,
This is by design the Recycle Bin only stores files deleted from local drives, not from a shared folder. The workaround is to move a folder in C:\users\<user name> to the shared folder.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Files deleting over the Network /share drive is not going to the recycle bin it permanently delete the file but deleting from local drive is normaly going to recycle Bin !
