Getting an virtual image of windows

Hello,
I have recently installed windows XP on bootcamp. What I would like help with is how to get a virtual image of the windows xp when i open Bootcamp.
I've seen some people with on youtube and sutch. The problem is that when i start the computer up, i get to choose if i want to open it as a leapord or windows. I have set the settings so it will automaticly start as mac. but I would like to click on bootcamp and open it as windows in a seperate window. How do i do this????
this is my first post, sry if it unclear

I have Parallels 6 and just hadn't installed it yet. So now was a really good time so I can definitively say whether or not it works as I explained. The answer is yes, it does. Parallels saw my Win 7 Boot Camp partition and automatically made an environment for it. It did create a 1.3 GB file for it in my user account, but that's far smaller than entirely installing Windows on your Mac partition as a disk image.
By default, it runs in Coherence mode, which is pretty cool. Rather than your VM running in a separate window, or in full screen, a few controls get added to OS X's menu bar while Parallels is running. You click on that and choose "Windows Start Menu". The standard Windows menu displays from the top of the screen and you launch a Windows app the same way you would as if booted into Windows. It then runs on your OS X desktop almost as if it were a native OS X app. Very neat!
My accountant will probably be pretty happy to see my move from QuickBooks for Mac to QB for Windows. Then he wouldn't have to come over here to look over and adjust the books at year end. I can just send him copy of the data. Something which cannot be done cross platform.

How do get a dynamic image to open in new browser window

I'm using DW CS3, mysql (MAMP) OS 10.6.2 I'm designing my online store. I need the customer to be able to click dynamic image/thumbnails to view a larger image in a new browser pop up window 400 x 400. An example of this functionality can be seen at :
http://www.designpublic.com/spot-on-square-roh-dresser
So far I can get the separate new browser window to open with the dynamic image, using the open new browser behavior, but the on click also advances to next page with the larger image. You have to press the back button to get back to the product page. I want the customer to be able to see the product page , while viewing larger image, and then close larger image, and still have the product page open. I don't understand why 2 windows are opening.
Thanks for the help people!
William

Hi
I did look at it but, (and this is only my opinion, I do not like such effects) it is your decision.
If you view source you will see -
<a href="#" onclick="popWin('http://www.designpublic.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/12706/image/91883/', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=50,top=50,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="Spot on Square Roh Dresser" class="gallery-image-link"><img src="http://arcsmedia01.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/2/thumbnail/56x56/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/r/o/roh_dresser1.jpg" alt="" /></a>
Which is controlled by the javascript function
popWin()
which you can view using the firefoxe dev toolbar - view javascript function.

Virtualized servers get stuck at "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..."

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 (no service pack) server that has been virtualized last summer and since then:
- Windows Update does not download any updates (it says Cancelled for every update in the Update History)
- When I reboot the vm, it gets stuck on "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..." and I have to cold-Reset the vm to get it working again.
I tried running Windows Update Standalone Installer (Windows6.1-KB947821-v20-x64.msu) on the machine, but that gets stuck on "searching for updates"...
I tried stopping the Windows Update service but that doesn't work either, it says that the service is not responding...
I'm not sure what to try next, I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

How to get ISO image of Windows 7

The instructions for installing Boot Camp and Windows says:
To install Windows 7 with a USB flash drive, you need the following:
An ISO image of Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate downloaded from Microsoft.
Where do I get that?
A search turned up numerous baffling options, 64-bit this, 32-bit that. How do I know what I need to get started?

You get it from Microsoft's site http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop/windows-7. You did not say what computer you have but I assume you have a 64 bit computer and OS. Get Windows 64 bit.

How to get back default Lock Screen Image of Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image . I tried for default lock screen of windows 8.1.I can't find any default lock screen
images of windows 8.1 (Only custom images are available). How to get default lock screen images? Does any any one know? please help me..

The last "solution" works only for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking
Lock. If you sign out of Windows and sign back in, that ghastly Windows 8.1 lock screen picture will come back.
You can delete the img100.png file from your WinSxS folder: right lick on this file, click Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit, click Add, type your Windows user name in the white rectangle under "Enter the object
name to select", click Check Names, click OK, then click Advanced, click Change, take ownership of the file, give yourself Full control over this file, click Apply and then OK. You may see your name three times in the Security tab (as user, administrator,
and yourself). Make sure that each instance has full Control
If this does not work, you can disable the Lock Screen: press Windows+R, type
gpedit.msc, click OK, in the Local Group Policy Editor window that opens click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, right click on the "Do not display the lock screen" option, click
Edit, check Enabled, then click Apply and OK.
This, however, is a workaround rather than a real solution, which, it seems, Microsoft does not have.
I have exactly the same issue with the horrid stripey thing. Furthermore, in Settings, Lock Screen Preview is completely blank both on current and past images.
I've tried all the tips I've found around the web with no success. I get the horrid stripey thing back.
I found this freeware called Lock Screen Customizer. Seems to work so far but time will tell. (Note that the download includes both win8 and win8.1 versions.)

Windows 2008 R2 Client computer backup files (*.dat) can't get restored after re-imaging the Windows 2008 R2 server

I have a Windows server 2008 R2 and I'm using backup feature to backup all computers in the network on it. Recently I ran into an issue and had to re-image my Windows 2008 R2 server and had to restore 2 of my client computers but now I can't restore
files from my client computer backups because they are not listed under Backups & Devices anymore however all backup files are still available on my Backup drive. How can I retrieve files from these backup files?

Anyone out there to help me with this issue?

I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again.

What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:

Windows Virtual PC running Windows 7 Pro on Windows 7 Pro with Network Sharing (NAT)

I have been trying to get a new install of Windows 7 in Windows Virtual PC 6.1 to use the Shared Networking with the Windows 7 host.
It works with Windows XP as the guest. I tried changing the DNS to 192.168.131.254 and 252. It works through a dedicated NIC but I need NAT because I have to use the IP of the host (this is in a computer lab where students play with their own Windows 7 vhd).
Any help would be appreciated.

The old allowing oracle 3GB virtual memory on windows 2003 server question?

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.7.0 database on windows 2003 server (32bit). 4 dual core cpu's and 16GB of Ram.
I have set .use_indirect_data_buffers=TRUE and *._enable_NUMA_optimization=FALSE.
The db_block_buffers is set at 4GB.
Shared_pool 200MB
Large_pool 56MB
Java pool 56MB
PGA is currently at 400MB
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set at 720MB (which is the lowest I can set it)
At the moment there are various jobs running on the database and no users logged on and the virtual memory is at 1.8GB.
The problem is as soon as the users logs onto the DB the virtual memory goes over 2GB and we see the error 'ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2416 bytes'.
Now I have edited the boot.ini with the following parameters:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="UBS WSP - Wintel Server Platform with PAE" /fastdetect /PAE /4GT
because the /3GB parameter switch started the server with lots of errors.
The oracle.exe process still seems unable to go over the 2GB limit with getting 'ORA-04030' errors.
Can someone tell me if I have missed anything? Or a reason why oracle is not using the switch?
TIA
Eddy

Satish,
see metalink Note:1036312.6 : Utilizing Up to 3GB Virtual Memory on Windows.
it says :
"The 32-bit versions of the Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, operating systems were the first versions of Windows to provide applications with a 3-GB flat virtual address space, with the kernel and executive components using only 1 GB. In response to customer requests, Microsoft has expanded the availability of this support to the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional and all 32-bit versions of Windows Server™ 2003."
of course, we mustn't be mistaken with the AWE switch (/PAE) that is not available for standard edition.

In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Why do I get Media Type "image/ipeg" when uploading a PDF?

I am getting this strange "image/ipeg" media type when uploading with FF (33.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.9.4), instead of "application/pdf." Viewing the request sent using Developer Tools, I get the following headers:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="test"; filename="test.pdf"
Content-Type: image/ipeg
Looking at mimeTypes.rdf in my that profile, I see
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:image/ipeg"
NC:value="image/ipeg"
NC:editable="true"
NC:fileExtensions="pdf"
NC:description="Document">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:image/ipeg"/>
When creating a new profile and uploading a PDF, I correctly get "application/pdf", and sure enough, mimeTypes.rdf states:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/pdf"
NC:value="application/pdf">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf"/>
</RDF:Description>
I have disabled all Add-ons to see if any of them was causing this, but no luck. I suspect it's either some add-on or OS app association (like OS X Preview) that's causing this, but I can't find the culprit.
Has anybody ever encountered this? It's very straightforward to fix, but I would like to understand exactly what is going on because it sounds somewhat wrong to send "image/ipeg" as the Media Type for PDF.

One way that odd content types can be added to the mimeTypes.rdf file is when you are presented with the download dialog (Open/Save/Cancel) for a novel content type and you associate it with a known application. But tracking down the exact site that caused this (assuming it was a misconfigured server) could be impossible.
On Windows, bizarre things also could be incorporated from the Windows registry, but I don't know whether there is anything equivalent on Mac.

Qosmio G10: How to get Toshiba Virtual Sound in Taskbar

System: Qosmio G10 running Windows XP.
When I bought the system, it came loaded with Toshiba's 'Virtual Sound' app, which replaced the standard Microsoft Volume Control app in the XP Taskbar (bottom right of screen). Now, the standard 'Volume Control' app appears in the Taskbar.
How do I get the 'Virtual Sound' app back? It enables me to easily switch between setting the sound for the laptop's internal speakers and using larger external speakers.
Thanks!
Ben.
PS. Love Qosmio's!

Hello Ben
First of all check if this application is preinstalled on your notebook. When application is preinstalled properly in task manager under running processes you can find TvsTray.exe listed there.
If the application is correctly installed you can also find an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run when you start REGEDIT in RUN option.
Check all this. If there is something wrong I recommend you to install it again.
