Having issues re-installing windows 7

Ok I didn't make a recovery cd for my laptop I have tried to intall windows 7 again and looks like it went over the 1st one that was having problems so it still have issues booting up. How can i remove the old windows?

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop.
I wouldn't recommend doing a clean install like that. Try rebooting while holding down the '0' (zero) key. This will load the recovery utility that will allow you to do a full system recovery. This will completely restore the computer to its default, out-of-box state.

Having issues with installing Windows XP on Boot Camp

I installed the latest firmware for my MBP along with Boot Camp. I then tried to install a copy of Windows XP that I got from my friend (we'll name him Mr.Limewire). Anyways, I've tried to use 2 different copies of Windows XP and Boot Camp does not detect the cd still (it keeps saying to insert the Win xp cd). I believe I have using the full version of Windows XP. If a copy of XP is burnt on a Mac would that affect anything?

You really need to use a legitimate XP installation CD - a downloaded copy isn't worth the time for many reasons. Even if you did get it running, you can't register it and will have to reinstall a valid copy all over again to use it.
Also read the BootCamp FAQ's - XP must be a service pack 2 (SP2) release. If you don't see a folder "SP2" on the CD or some reference to it then you likely have a pre-SP2 release.
Another option is to slipstream SP2 and create an updated XP installation CD -

but even this would be waste of time without a valid XP install disc.

I am having issues with my Window 7 on boot camp. My hardware is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model and working on OS X 10.9.5. Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers. I installed boot camp5 but seem to be the wrong version and change to boot camp 4 which was updated okay. However I still cannot do the updates. Can someone advice me please? Thank you!

Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for the appropriate version of drivers related to the specific version of Windows 7.

My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Having some Issues After Installing Windows Vista

I just recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit SP1 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.6. I thought everything was good until I noticed 2 things. 1. I did not have a Boot Camp icon in the system try, nor could I find it listed in control panels. 2. When I tried connecting to the internet via Internet Explorer while in Windows, it told me that I did not have a internet or network connection. When I'm on the Mac OS X side my internet connection is fine. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but my only options were install CD/DVD or to connect my computer to another computer. I tried installing them manually but I noticed a yellow exclamation point on my iSight and Broadcom drivers. I can't update them because I can't connect to the internet. Can anyone help? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm not a PC expert. Thanks!

Hi Adeedo,
Even I have the same kind of problem. After reading an update features list, I turned off and on the "Network Time Zone" button, its the same issue and its almost an hour its still saying that "Waiting for Network Time. After reboot the msg didn't appear but after turn off and turn on, same issue.
Seems like the update broken this issue while fixing the part of not showing the city and country when the "Network Time Zone" option is turned on.
I have got the 1.3.5 features info from the following link.
http://www.everythingpre.com/forum/palm-webos/official-webos-1-3-5-update-discussion-25209.html
( Date & Time
When the user has Network time zone enabled, a city and country are no longer displayed.
I got this phone recently two week ago, and it was on WebOs 1.2.1 till i upgraded to 1.3.5 a week ago.
I am also having some other issues like Alarm. I have set two alarms one at 6.30 am and another at 6.45 am. It used to work fine, like getting buzzed for two alarms one after the other till before I update to 1.3.5. Today morning i observed that i got the buzz for first alarm, but i was waiting for the second one and it didn't come at all. I dismissed the first one. The phone was in charging using AC power.
(Sprint Navigation
A user can launch Sprint Navigation from an address in an open contact entry in Contacts
Either this statement is wrong or the update is not working as it supposed to if this statement is correct. When i click the address from the open contact entry it takes me to Googles Page but not to Sprint Navigation launcher. Either i am doing wrong. Some one can help me how to launch Sprint navigation from the contact entry.

MANY issues after installing Windows XP Home Edition with Boot Camp

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: "This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: Some of these problems may not be specifically "Application" related, but the top one mainly is. (in my views)
~Twilight

Twilight:
Is it possible that you installed Windows XPSP1 instead of the required SP2? If yes then that is cause of all of your issues listed in your post. You have no sound and you cannot connect wirelessly because you still have been unable to install the boot camp drivers when you inserted the leopard disk.
Please double check to see which version of windows XP did you install. Remember, you need windows XPSP2 for all this to work.
Now, in the event that you installed XPSP1 then you will need to get to the microsoft windows site on a different computer and burn the Service Pack 2 for windows XP on a CD. After that boot your apple mac to XP side and insert the Service Pack 2 disk and install the pack. After that, it will ask you to restart the computer which you must and then once fully booted into XP then insert the leopard CD again and see if takes and installs all the necessary drivers.

Issues when installing Windows XP on a PXI-8108 with a Solid State HDD

Hi,
I have been assisting a client with installing Windows XP onto a PXI-8108 controller. They have replaced the default HDD with a solid-state HD.
We have attempted to run the System Recovery CD. The recovery part works fine, ie. you select Acronis, it unzips all the files to C drive.
However when it gets up to the bit where Win XP Setup starts (after rebooting once the Recovery section completes), we have issues.
It can't find files, ie. dmconfig.dll, gm.dls, etc on the Win XP CD. When it tries to find mfc40u.dll, it came up with an error:
"The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Win XP System image. If you are installing from a CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD."
We have tried two different recovery CDs, and we even tried just a plain Win XP CD. All had similar issues.
We have tried different SATA settings in the BIOS - both IDE AND AHCI.
It may just be that we have a faulty SSD, however it seemed to work ok when we had it connected to the PXI via USB (with the default HDD still in place). I was able to run diskcheck, which did not bring up any errors. Disk Management showed things were healthy.
So what I would like to know, is if there is any issue with a PXI-8108, and SSDs? We have successfully performed this operation a few months back using the same brand of SDD, but with a PXI-8104.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

This is more than likely a failing disk. SSDs don't always report failures in the same way as a rotating drive. Also, the tools that are helpful with diagnosing rotating drive failures don't always work with SSDs.
From the thread, it sounds like you have another system with this same SSD and it is working properly. Does that system have the same PXI Controller and Chassis?
I have seen these types of errors if the media for the OS installation is corrupt, but it sounds like you have tried different CDs.
I realize you have limited access to this drive, but here are my recommendations:
1) Put the failing SSD in a different system (desktop is preferable), and install a base version of XP. If this fails, RMA the drive, they normally have 3-5 warranties.
2) Run Crystal Mark Info and check for SMART failures:
http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html
3) You can securely erase the SSD, which is not for the faint of heart. This will restore the drive to a new condition. If the drive has a bad cell which is causing data corruption during the OS install, securely erasing the drive will hopefully cause the firmware to map out the bad areas. This is a good tutorial, just ignore that fact that it is targeted at Intel drives.

Issues with installing windows on a new macbook pro retina.

Hello,
First time using bootcamp on my new macbook and I am running into an issue.
I have read the troubleshooting guide and everything else and no matter what I do I get the same problem.
The issue is that when bootcamp restarts after partitioning my drive, windows loads and I start the install process. Its says set up is starting and then it says that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. I only have one usb drive connected (the one with windows on it) and nothing else. This is getting incredibly frustrating haha.

R5K Sound issues when installing Windows 8.1

Hello everyone
I installed Windows 8.1 Pro as downloaded. I used BCA > USB on my R5K to install Windows.. (Boot Camp drivers via BCA as well). Everything works fine except the sound when using Windows. There is sound, but it all... sounds disturbing, like listening to a radio. Nothing like the sound quality when using OS X, no epic sound effects and crystals clear sound whatsoever. And I think it's not even using all the speakers at the bottom of the iMac when producing the audio. I tried playing with Sound setting in Control Panned, with the audio settings in MPC, VLC, iTunes, re-installed the drivers just to be sure nothing went wrong with the installation and nothing work, I am still getting that "crappy sound quality"...
I am welcome to any suggestions, spend half a day just trying to fix this... Thank you in advance

Does Apple Diagnostics indicate any hardware issues?

HARD DISK DRIVER ISSUES WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS 8

I am trying to install windows 8 on my PC, but it is asking for hard drive drivers. I have installed windows 8 before with no issues on the same PC with same configuration, but now I am facing these driver issues. Currently I am running Win7 as i cannot
reinstall Win8.
Config:
Gigabyte Motherboard 945G with Intel Core2duo8400 3ghz,
Intel(R) 82801G(ICH7) FAMILY CHIP SET,
4gb Ram, Nvidia graphic card, Seagate hard disk 160Gb.

Hi,
I doubt that the hard drive is either a SATA drive or in a RAID setup, you might need to install RAID controller drivers or SATA driver during the installation.
I also suggest you refer to the following link and check if it can give some hints.

Driver Issues After Installing Windows 8.1 Preview

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro Preview, which I now regret because my wireless connection no longer works on my Lenovo IdeaPad N580. I check the status of the driver for the Realtek RTL 8192DE wireless LAN, and I get a message that I have the latest driver. However, when I check the status the the Realtek device, the system says it is disabled. I tried to enable it within BIOS as I read somewhere that that is the way to fix the problem, but I cannot find any reference to the wireless LAN device in BIOS. This problem has apparently happened a number of times on a number of brands of computers. Nothing I've read that I've tried works. Does anyone have any ideas?

The only way I can think of is to erase your hdd and fresh install Windows 8 or 7.

Keyboard issues while installing Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi there,
I am running bootcamp and when I am starting to install Windows XP I can't actually move into the setup because the keyboard won't work. Is there anyone who found a solution?
Thanks.

Same problem..........went back to the old keyboard and everything installed and worked fine in OS X and win-XP. swapping in the new alum keyboard the option key doesn't work during the boot select. once the machine boots to the default OS either mac or windows everything works in that OS.
Something I noticed: during the boot select.... the old keyboard gets power immediately, mouse lights up - keyboard cap-lock light is on. with the new alum keyboard the mouse and cap-lock light do not light until the default OS starts to boot with no boot select in between.
Looks like a boot camp setup doesn't know about the new keyboard even though it is recoginized by drivers in the two OS's. anyone know who to call for help at Apple?

Having Issues with Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64) on Windows 8.1

I'm trying to install Maya and there is always an error on installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012, so I figured I could install this and skip that part in the Maya installation process. When I try to install it, it won't install and gets stuck on "initializing."
Then, a while later, it jumps to the end and says "0x80070643 - Fatal error during installation."
Could somebody help please?
Thanks!
