Flashing Cursor when running autocad 12 in bootcamp Parallel

Has anyone one else experienced the flashing cursor when running Autocad 12 on Parallel on Windows7 Professional on bootcamp. When running Autocad on Bootcamp alone it's fine, but in Parrallel it flashes quite badly.
Any ideas as to why.
Cheers,
Ross.

I'm having the same problem.
I bought a macbook pro 13inch 2.3 ghz core i5 base model yesterday. I gave it the normal windows partition as i normally do with all my macs and tried to install Win7.
The installation was ok except that it took the macbook pro like 40 seconds to finish showing the Black screen with the blinking cursor .
I then Installed Bootcamp 3.2 and restarted, it took its normal 40 secs to show the black screen and blinking cursor after i had selected windows to boot and then it restarted!
I tried 4-6 times but it keeps giving me the same result.
I then reformatted 4 times both the Windows and Mac partitions and tried to repeat the windows installation but it kept giving me the same result.
A friend of mine bought his macbook pro 13 base model today and when i tried installing, it gives the same result! What is wrong?
I then installed Parallels 6 on both laptops and immediately it booted the already installed windows partition.(*but i don't want to use parallels )
But when i restart and hold down the option key and choose windows, it keeps giving me the black screen with the blinking cursor and the restarts itself.
I have used 10 or more macbook pros and airs in the past and they've never given me this sort of problem.
What is wrong???

How do I turn on the keyboard backlight when running Win 7 in Bootcamp 4.0?

Power Plan 2.5e does not find a Bootcamp process, so doesn't think I'm running it, and is no help. The backlight works perfectly in Mountain Lion, but I can't getit to come on at all when running Win 7. What am I missing?

Well the problem is most certainly having 2 versions Why on earth would you
do that ?
You'll have to remove both and reinstall version 4, although at this point
you probably should upgrade.

Unable to interact with Flash content when running Firefox with restricted user

When running Firefox with limited Windows user on Windows XP the Flash elements are displayed, the content that is set to auto-play does so even, but the flash area doesn't receive any mouse input: e.g. when I right click in the area instead of the flash context menu I get the browser context menu as if the flash plug-in wasn't even there. The exact same page on the exact same computer but with Administrator user works as expected: can press buttons, interact with flash controls and the context menu upon right-click is of course the flash one. This behavior occurs even if I disable all add-ons.

Try uninstalling your sound card driver in Device Manager and reboot your PC.

My mac mini (2011) is only downloading at 100mbps running Mountain Lion, but 200 mbps when running Windows 7 on bootcamp. Why?

I've upgraded my internet to a shaw 250 Mbps plan. Using their speed test I'm getting over 200 Mbps on this mini, running windows 7 on bootcamp.
When running moutain lion, I'm getting exacty 100 mbps. solid, looks like it's being limited.
Network utility app shows link speed of 1Gbit/s zero errors or collisions.
Network is cable modem wired into airport extreme (5th generation), then wired to the mini; all cables cat6.
Is there something in Mountain Lion that limits the ethernet bandwidth to 100 Mbps?
And how do I turn it off so I can get the 200+ the hardware can clearly do?
Thanks

oh, btw.
I get exactly the same max download speed of 100 (102.?) Mbit/s using wireless; which shows as a 450 Mbit/s link speed.
So I seem to have the same limit to all my network connections.

Battery life running Windows 7 under Bootcamp/Parallels 9

I'm contemplating buying one of the new 15" MacBook pros, the fully loaded one with the built in Nvidia graphics, and will want to put windows 7 on it. Assuming I can get bootcamp to work (seems like quite a few people are having issues right now!), I like the idea of doing so, and then accessing it through parallels 9 most of the time. However, it seems that the windows drivers only have access to the Nvidia graphics, and cannot switch to the intel graphics when the extra processing isn't needed, so when running in bootcamp mode, the battery life will suck. Will the same be true in Parallels, or given that this is emulating windows through Mavericks, will it get the full Mac control, allowing it to select intel/Nvidia graphics as it needs.
Anyone else tried this who can give me some numbers on what the battery life is likely to be in both modes?
Thanks,
Nick

parallel is a virtuel machine and don't have direct contact with the hardware with real drivers
it access osx generic drivers it will use the generic virtual machine driver osx provide and it will 100% be up to osx how much battery is used
the no direct hardware assess is also why you can't play games in the virutal machine as it don't use the video card at all

Running Autocad on MBA 2013

Is anyone using MBA 2013 that running AutoCad in Win7 under Parallel Desktop? How's your experience with it? Is it running smoothly?
I have been using MBP 2010 i7 8G Ram that Autocad works perfectly with Win7 under Parallel Desktop. However, its portability is not ideal and I plan to upgrade it to MBA 2013.

It looks like Apple Hardware Test is not on the hard drive, so you need the original DVDs that came with your Mac. If you have not got them, call Apple to get these discs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After getting them, follow these steps to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Every Mac has got a different Apple Hardware Test which is included in the DVDs that came with it, or in new Macs, you need to download it from the Internet by holding down Option and D keys while your Mac is starting up.
Make sure your MacBook is plugged to its charger while Apple Hardware Test is running

Witch specifikation will i need to run AutoCad via bootcamp (Window version)

In order to run AutoCad on a Macbook Pro via bootcamp, what kind of specification will i need ???
I´m thinking about the 17 inch Macbook Pro.
About processors i have to choises, either the 2,2 with 6 mb L3 and turbo-boost up to 3,4 or
the 2,3 with 8 mb L3 and turbo-boost up to 3,6
Next there is Ram, how much will i need ??? Again i have to options, eigther 4 or 8
I´m going to study next month and i haven´t woorked with AutoCad before, however i wan´t a system running perfektly and completely without any problems what so ever.
Now it would be pretty ekspensive for me to upgrade, so i´ll only do it, if i really have to, in order to get that perfektly running system.
What do you say ?, Have an idea ?

Yes, but I am inclined to agree with user Templeton Peck - I prefer Boot Camp. Otherwise I was MAX OUT the ram upgrade. And isn't it FRUSTRATING how expensive the new AutoCAD by Autodesk for MAC is?!?! It's twice the price of a new MAC! NUTS! I did give the free trail a go & have to say that I like it....but not when I've already paid for a PC copy! Frustrating, just frustrating...
BTW - recently upgraded to the i7 15"MBP w/ Thunderbolt. LOOOOVE it! Can't wait to see what Thunderbolt technology will bring...glad I waited.
Cheers!

And you might want to look into programs to backup / clone / and provide system restore capability.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

Making Captivate accessible when running in a Flash movie?

Hi all,
I need to run a Captivate movie in a Flash shell. The Captivate movie, when run on its own, is highly accessible: the tab index finds all items on a slide, for instance. However, when I load the Captivate movie into a Flash shell, the tabIndexing completely ignores the Captivate movie. I've set the movie clip that holds the Captivate movie to tabChildren=true, that doesn't do the trick.
Does anyone know how to get the focus manager to jump to elements in a Captivate movie when that movie is running in a Flash shell? Thanks in advance!
Joe

one more question:
when i render my movie out (its an irregular size) i now have two black bars on the right and left. i assume this is because i changes the pixel size to square. is there anyway to get rid of the bars or was this a snafu from the begining because i didnt have it set to squares?

Flash not appearing when run locally

Hi, I am having a weird issue with a user. He cannot display a swf when run locally on his machine in a browser. If he goes online he sees the movies fine. To test I sent him a movie with just an image in it and published to html. I double click the html page and can see the movie and image fine. He does the same on his machine and gets nothing just a blank page. Problem is we have an java app that runs local (using port 8000) and opens separate movies in new windows that he can never see.
Thanks in advance,
P.

It sounds like you are having a file trust problem. To resolve that, you have to trust this file from the Flash Global Settings Manager.
Go there: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
Add a path to the local file, restart browser and try again.

There are differences between each Mac and what the original configuration of the Mac is/was. If your Mac originally came with an Optical drive, burning the ISO to a DVD and using it will work. Hardware modifications like Optibay will cause problems. Modifying Bootcamp info.plist will cause problems. Disk Utility partitioning will cause problems. A custom Hybrid MBR will cause problems. External Optical drives are unlikely to work. There is long litany of grief.
