Error message (can't find boot disk) installing win xp on VirtualBox

In trying to install win xp to a VirtualBox vm, I get an error message that a boot disk can't be found. This seems logical to stupid me, as I have not yet installed the win system from the install disk. Instructions that came with the VirtualBox said I must have windows installer on my computer to install win xp. So I downloaded it, but cant figure out how to install it on the vm. To further confuse things, I can't seem to find information as to whether my Intel 2ghz core duo is a 32 bit or 64 bit chip.
Thanks for any help you can give me...

Hi, Dave & Dave -
Wow, that took longer than I thought. I have been back for a couple of hours, and spent that time running the uninstall program, and then going to users/library/VirtualBox and deleting that folder, and its contents. Next I downloaded a fresh copy of VirtualBox from the Sun website, installed it on my computer, then ran the VirtualBox set up (setup the settings) and then clicked on the start icon. After the splash screen, I once again got the same error message. I repeated that routine at least three time, all three times I received the same message.
I then got the bright idea to go into my time machine and went back to several days after I had installed the program previously (March 25, 2009) and retrieved both the program from the application folder, and the vb folder from the user library, restoring them to my present computer state. After all, I thought, if it worked on March 25th, those files should work now. DRAT, I was wrong, Got the same message at the same place in the startup routine.
So, Dave and Dave, after a little more futzing around, I'm now back to the same place I was when I first posted about my problem: My win xp disk will still not mount. ****!!!

My computer crashed necessitating re-install of operating sys and all programs including iTunes. When I click on a song in my library I get an error message "can't find this song, want to search?" What gives? How can I listen to songs in my library on this computer now?

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

I can't update itunes. I get error message can't find "itunes.msi". What can I do?

What can I do to download updated itunes. I get error message can't locate "itunes.msi." folder.

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. 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Dreamweaver CC generates one of 3 error messages when using find and replace on Win 8.1 64 bit.

Dreamweaver CC generates one of 3 error messages when using find and replace is used more than twice in succession. "While executing onLoad in bc_afterSave.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: At line 188 of file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe|Adobe DreamweaverCC|Configuration|Shared|BC\JS\bc_sites.js": out of memory"

Any thoughts - I end up closing DWCC and reopening. Will work for two additional Find and Replace before the error messaged\s popup again.

Thanks Jon. I tried all of those solutions before posting. Same problem. It seems that the problem is tied to DWCC. Do not have the problem when using DW6 on Win8.1. When running DWCC on a Win7 pc, we get the same error message. When running DW6 on Win 7, f&c works fine. It seems to be a bug in DWCC. DWCC works flawlessly on our Macs.
The same steps apply to DWCC, you just need to choose the CC folders rather than the DWCS4-6 versions that the page talks about. The layout of CC's folders hasn't changed from the older versions which is why, I think, Adobe hasn't updated the troubleshooting page as of yet.
As Nancy mentions, a 38,500 page site is sort of ridiculously large for a static website, that could be part of the problem, but your response quoted above leads me to think you may have tried the troubleshooting steps in the wrong version of the program. Could you confirm that?

Match edges error message - can't find current layer

Hello everybody,
If I use filter --> "match edges" an error message appears: can't find current layer.
It is no different if it is a smartobject or a rasterized layer.
Are there any suggestions to fix this problem?
What layer-order is exactly to be used?
Is there anything I could try? Btw: the filter "interpolate" seems to work right.
Thank you!

"... Items could not be copied..." error message - can't find items!

Hello,
I get the following error message when sync'ing ATV with iTunes on my iMac:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "file name", were not copied to the Apple TV "Apple TV Name" because they cannot be played on this Apple TV. For a list of items that could not be copied, click the triangle below."
I clicked on the triangle and get this error message:
+Clicking on the ! in the list states that+:
"file name" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the Apple TV "Apple TV Name".
Here's the mystery, these files don't exist in iTunes. They used to at one time but for some reason, Apple TV thinks they're still there.
Help!!

Ok, I'm getting a similar problem. I purchased the TV Shows from my ATV, at one point they synced back to my iTunes and are now not physically on my ATV. I recently copied all of my iTunes library from the iMac HDD to an external drive. Now I have 2 problems:
1. Attempting to sync gives me the same error, which makes no sense to me since I bought them from the iTunes Store on the ATV in the first place.
2. Since only streaming is available, I see the full list of shows on itunes, but it disconnects within 3 mins of watching the stream on my ATV. The ATV then disappears from the Devices list in iTunes, and won't reappear until i restart the app.
I've searched all over the net, but can't find any answers. I'd be willing to try any suggestions.

Error Message Can't Find Error Message

I am not the most Tech savy person, I reviewed the posts and don't believe any could help. I have an Ipod Classic (160 gb). My libary is on an external drive since the laptop does not hold sufficient memory for the music and the movies. When I attempt to sync my IPod Classic the process begins and about the one thousandth song, the sync stops. I am informed that certain files cannot be located. (I am provided a list) and then that a folder called "LUIS IPOD" could not be found. I have located all of the music on the hard drive and I have manually directed itunes to where the music is in the library folder, but the problem persists. I have tried to locate the file "LUIS IPOD" and I have found nothing. I have gone to ADD/REMOVE Progran and had Itunes repair itself. I have restored the Ipod and that has not helped. I have restored the back up and that has not helped. I am at a lost of what to do.

When loading firefox i get an error message, "can't find ////jpsnotify.exe. now firefox loads but every time i go into anything else it appears. this started to happen when i downloaded a new verison of java.

i downloaded a new version of Java and i then started getting "windows can't find c:\java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify.exe. now this only happens when loading firefox. it happens through out the use of firefox when loading other programs. any suggestions?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
A quick search for jqsnotify.exe on Google indicates that it is related to the Java quick start option.

Can't find boot disk (only when restarting)

I resently changed the HDD in my old macbook air and now I have a strange issue. When the air is restarted either manually or due to a software update the boot disk can't be found. If I do nothing the folder with a question mark appear, and if i hold down option-key no drives appear for selection.
The weird thing is that it is only on restart. If I turn of the air and start it everything works properly. Because of this it is not a major issue but I would like to resolve it none the less...
Thanks in advance

Thanks - already did that several times though. It has become progressively worse and I have found that others upgrading to runcore SSD's have had similar issues.
I will try a firmware update once i get the time, but I'm not optimistic... Keep away from runcore seems to be the lesson after what I've read so far in different threads

Can't play any songs from iTunes, error message "can't find"

I just got an iPod as a present (I'm behind the times) and I put songs on my iPod from some one elses computer. The problem is, now none of the songs on that persons computer will play, I get an error message saying, "the song [insert song name here] could not be used because the original file could not be found." My iTunes is fine, but my friends computer is not!!! Is there any way to fix this, I really hope i didn't just delete all their songs (I didn't even put most of them on my iPod).
Thanks for any help!
Dell Windows XP

Your songs might be taking up too much room in your iPod.
Open iTunes, right-click on a song. Make sure the song is no bigger than 4 MB and it's a MPEG file.
Also, in iTunes, click "Edit" and then go down to "Preferences". Click the 'Advanced" tab and then the "Importing" tab. Make sure your songs are encoded using AAC Encoder and a high quality setting of 128 kpbs.
If your song information is different from what I just told you then this is the reason why your songs won't fit in your iPod and there's not enough room.

Firefox very slow loading most pages, sometimes error message :"can't find server for......." ....."

Firefox is very slow loading pages, some pages never load, sometimes error message stating "cannot connect to server" Router is not an issue I don't think as other computer connected to it has no problems. Used Malwarebytes to clean up problems, only 5 found. Internet Explorer does not have the same problems.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
