Flash won't install window 7 64 bit

I have had two days worth of headaches trying to fix this. I have the following
Windows 7 64 bit
IE 8
spyware doctor anti-virus
Apparently Adobe updated itself a couple of days ago, and Now I have this Flash Player problem. Everything worked fine until then.
I need some clear concise instuctions on how to fix this. I have tried the uninstall, and the reinstall and looked in the windows folder and tried to find the 32 bit IE somewhere on my computer and have found nothing.
So I've had it, I'm not happy, in fact I am down right mad. Please someone help fix this. Thank You

Hi, I understand you have the Win7/64bit/IE8. Firefox(FF) you say is working, which you installed Flash Player using the 32bit. Flash Player will install and has been installed and is being installed in Win7/64bit. But you can't use the 64bit browser to do so, neither in IE or FF or Chrome or any other browser that Flash Player supports.
If you got the prompt from Adobe Flash Player on your Desktop and it installed, did you Reboot(restart) after it was completed? Also, Using IE, go the the ALL manage add ons and look for Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...
Flash10e.ocx version 10.0.45.2 and make sure that it listed and it is Enabled. This Control works with your Flash files for IE. Just as the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in for FF does.
If you did not get the Flash Player prompt from Adobe and did an Install manually, then using IE you would have had to use the Adobe Uninstaller first. There are certain procedures and sometimes when Installing Flash Player, a Firewall, an Anti-Virus program, too high of security settings for IE will block the Install of the needed ActiveX Control.
If Firefox used ActiveX Controls as IE does, you would have had the same problem. FF uses plug-ins so there is a difference.
If you want to get Flash Player Installed successfully, then these variables need to be considered.
If no one with Win7/IE8/64bit systems were able to install Adobe Flash Player, then I would agree that Adobe needs to fix something. However, that is not the case.
There are many reasons that you were not successful, but blaming Adobe won't get FP installed.
Thanks,

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

Installing Windows 7 64-bit - DVD won't boot

I recently downloaded the 64-bit version of Windows 7 from my school's MSDNAA page and burnt the ISO to a DVD. I had XP on a dual-boot setup to actually get the download, so I deleted the partition and decided to start fresh for Windows 7. When I went through the boot camp assistant it wouldn't boot from the DVD. If I use a program like rEFIt I can see the 'bootmgr.efi' as a volume to boot from, but when selected it gives me the error "Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi". Has anyone else come across anything like this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey,
I had problems when trying to install Windows 7 64-bit from a disk burned from an iso.
If you still have the iso file follow the instructions on this page - http://www.gopulls.com/blog/2009.08.26/install-windows-7-x64-on-a-mac-beat-the-s elect-cd-rom-boot-type-error/
or this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2372797&tstart=45
Apparently the issue is something to do with the fact that the install disk has two boot sectors instead of one...this thread explains it better - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1867336
Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Install Windows XP 64-bit on Boot Camp.

Can I install Windows XP 64-bit on Boot Camp (Tiger)? Where can i find all the driver for 64-bit? Thank you.

Hi Amen,
XP 64-bit was never supported by Apple.
Therefor you are left to find the needed drivers all by yourself and for Apple-specific hardware you won't find any drivers at all.
Use the System Profiler in OS X to determine what hardware is in your Mac and then go to the websites for these hardware manufacturers to see/find drivers for XP 64-bit.
Personally I am not sure if all this hassle is worth the outcome.

Cannot install Windows 7 (64-bit) with Bootcamp

I tried to install Windows 7 64-bit on a MacPro running MacOS 10.6.7 with Bootcamp Version 3.0.4 (325).
I get the following hardware information from 'About This Mac':
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro1,1
Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors:          2
Total Number Of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per processor):          4 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system):          1.7f10
After I inserted the Windows installation DVD and boot it up, I got an empty screen that asked me to select boot type, 1 or 2.
The keyboard did not respond any input so the whole installation was hung. Can someone shed some light on what may went wrong?

You can
Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
You just can't boot from the DVD without extra steps.
Apple uses UEFI on those Macs that are "blessed" as being compatible, and yours and mine have older 2005 era EFI32 that won't.
We also are stuck with 1.9GB usable RAM in 32-bit Vista/7 also, another blow.
And no firmware update to Unified EFI 2.x to make us "compatible." Has not stopped 1000s from doing so though.

Install Windows 7 64 bit as only OS on Mac Pro

Ok, I'm hugely disappointed with Snow Leopard development. First you still get stuck with 32 bit kernel since there are no official 64 bit drivers for my printers, scanners, cameras. Second Photoshop CS 3 does not work with it, and no version of Nikon Capture NX works either (apart from it being 32 bit anyway). So my option is to stay with Leopard (with chess as only 64 bit app), or alternatively to go Windows 7 64 bit on my Mac Pro and try to take full advantage of all the hardware I spent thousands of dollars on (since there is 64 bit Photoshop and Capture NX works as well, and there are 64 bit drivers for my peripherals), and the OS can actually use all 32 GB.
So, my question is has anyone successfully installed Windows 7 64 bit as the only OS? Did you have any issues? In particular, are there any issues with DVD ejection, and screen brightness control? Are there official Apple drivers for these devices for Windows 7 64 bit?

You don't get 64-bit software until there is demand, and a need, and the hardware to further that development.
Game developers are finding they can work and compile much more efficiently.
Snow Leopard is a launching point, not a destination. Efficient use of more than 2-4 cores is going to take time.
And Intel is there helping companies and bring out refinements in compilers. Then add 1-2 yrs to actually deploy, plus the time to master those tools, and not everyone will or can.
Adobe built their code on Carbon code foundation - a big mistake - and reached the end of where that takes them. Their CS4 Windows is 64-bit, CS5 for Mac OS will or might be but ground up rework into Cocoa code, however OS X does a lot to help use memory, but if you aren't working with 1-2-3GB files you may not.
Nehalem has a lot more bandwidth, on the fly up clock of cpu. Nvidia GTX 200s also respond dymanic and dramatically to small demands to ram up GPU performance. Even launching a program kicks everything into high gear and you can see that charted with various tools (more easily in W7 than in OS X). And to recover to lower energy and heat as quickly. Going green to cut the costs of running servers and systems.
The Mac Pro 2008 was the first with a full 64-bit Unified EFI (UEFI 2.x). Apple, Intel, Microsoft and other members of EFI Group only officially supported EFI on 64-bit post Vista SP1, which was less than 18 months ago, around the time the 2008 Mac Pro came out. That's pretty good.
Yes, Mac OS uses a PA/E memory addressing.
Microsoft used millions of beta users to help identify bottlenecks in drivers during W7 development. And 100s millions of Vista users along with help of Intel engineers in hardware and software. No reason that won't happen with Snow Leopard eventually.
CUDA and GPGPU / Physix are not new, OpenCL is a new standard and name that may be more open to more types of uses and applications - over time.
OS 9 had trouble with Finder. Funny enough, so has OS X, and now it is suppose to have gotten its own multi-thread makeover - it needed it badly and was/is the source of a lot of problems, lost threads or processes and getting lost. We'll have to see.
I think there is a huge market today for a system built around the Core i7 with 2-4-6 cores and 6-12GB of memory with GTS 250 or above (not the entry level offered last year or the GT120 today).
A lot of people don't want to leave XP which is 32-bit and how old is that? I think they'll like W7, if they invest in new hardware.
Your time frame is not how systems evolve.
What would you do you can't do now? very little is my bet. And when the Mac Pro came out 3 yrs ago, a lot of drivers broke and had to be re-engineered and vendors prefer evolution over revolution. The 2008 Mac Pro early on had a number of hardware issues dealing with power management. Happens every step of the way.
Your Mac will probably still serve your needs, whether in 10.6.9 or 10.7 or Win7 and beyond.

Want to install Windows 7 64 bit to DV4T-5200

I'll keep it short - my wife hates Windows 8. She also hates 8.1.
I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit to her DV4T-5200 laptop, and I have never had so much trouble getting an OS installed before. Does anyone know what BIOS settings I need to enable and disable to get this to install.
I have gotten all the way to the last step of the installation (media I am using is DVD) and get "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware" message.
The thing is, there HP has Windows 7 drivers on the support page for this laptop... so it doesn't seem like I should be unable to perform this installation.
Any ideas would be great. I am on day 3. I predict by day 5 she will fully process the fact that I have completely killed her laptop. Life will be worse. LOL. : )

K8T Neo Won't install Windows XP - Linux works fine

OK, i just installed this MOBO, and I'm having a big problem. It boots up fine, finds everything in the BIOS, but it won't run or install Windows. I tried just using my old Windows XP install to begin with. I would get a stop error before the Loading Windows screen even came up. It wouldn't run in safe mode either. I don't remember exactly what the stop error was anymore. I then booted into Linux, and it runs fine. So, I decided to reinstall Windows. I put the CD in, it says press any key to boot from CD, and then it says "Checking hardware configuration" or something like that and freezes right there without giving an error. I have to manually reset the computer.
I tried deleting the Windows partition and running setup again with the same results. I even tried booting from a copy of the Windows disk, and tried installing Windows XP 64-bit edition as well. Same results with both. I reinstalled Linux because I messed up the boot record when I deleted the Windows partition, and the Linux install went flawlessly.
I have tried disabling SATA, USB, parallel ports, serial ports... everything I could think of in the BIOS. I've tried it with PnP OS support turned on and off. I've tried loosening the RAM settings as far as I can. Nothing seems to work.
It's obviously not a CD-ROM issue, because Linux installs fine. I've also tried multiple drives and media. Linux is also installed on the same HDD as the Windows partiton, so it shouldn't be a HDD problem. I've also tried swapping my Radeon 9800 out with a GeForce Ti 4600, and I've tried swapping the PSU supply out with another (although the other was only 250W).
For the life of me, I can't figure out what the problem may be. Anyone have any ideas?
- TIA

I really don't think it has anything to do with the PSU. I've been using this PSU for over 6 months now on this system (had a Soyo K8USA Dragon Ultra in there before... otherwise the same system) I've never had a problem, and I usually have a lot of crap running at once, e.g. DVD ripping/burning, file sharing, gaming, word processing, programming, browsing, etc., etc. Granted, it's not the best PSU in the world, but it gets the job done quite well. Also, now that Windows is installed, the problem has not reoccured.
The only thing I have noticed is that it takes quite a while to load the Windows loading screen now. This screen should come up almost immediately. Instead, there is about 30 seconds or so of waiting where all I see is a blank screen. Afterwards, everything runs fine. I have disabled the "show list of operating systems" option in Windows so that's not the issue.

How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware. Drivers
are not updateable due to the company no longer exist. Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
thanks for any help

If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
virtual machine. Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
the real hardware on the host.

I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.
