HT1899 Can I use WIndows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my iMac?
I'm wondering if I can install Windows 7 64-bit on my mid-2007 iMac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). The Apple help articles are worded a bit confusingly, so I wanted to make sure it can before I purchase it.
What is confusing? Apple says yours is on the list of not supported for 64-bit, right?
So booting the Windows 7 DVD is an issue. 32-bit is possible but limited.
Running Windows in a VM is a piece of cake though.
Wiindows 8 ISO is Release Preview and free for now, those those.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

I have used the Oracle 11g client and it ran fine. But I could not find the driver in ODBC drivers list. I assumed that this happening as I am using Windows 7 Home edition.Is it true?
Thanks
MNRKI don't know about 11g, but with 10g and earlier, the odbc drivers do not install by default with the client. You have to choose "custom installation" then select "windows components". Since I never knew what all would be installed in a "typical" (admin or run-time) installation, I would always select one of those configs (admin or run-time, as appropriate), then run a second installation - choosing the same ORACLE_HOME as before, choosing "custom" installation, then selecting "windows components" from the list of features. -
TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed (using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1
I am using a ThinkPad T520 laptop. Lenovo Solutions Center keeps referring me (with a yellow exclamation mark) to the Device Manager and alerting me to a "non-critical" error. The message is "TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed".
I have found numerous pieces of advice for Windows XP and Vista - but very little for Windows 7. I have however tried the Microsoft "Fix it" solution and it had no effect.
I am still able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and wifi. It is however worrying that the warning keeps being raised.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?Hi Tripplec.
Thanks for the reply. I am away from home at present without my ThinkPad, so will try it at the weekend. I am an experienced computer user but this is a brand new machine and I have never had a laptop that produced error messages without providing any suggested fixes. It seems that Lenovo is not suitable for ordinary home users, but only for computer engineers. Sadly that is not me... so before I plunge in, can I just check some details?
1. You suggest removing the offending network adapters in device manager. Which are the offending adapters that cause a TCP/IP protocol driver error? I am nervous of removing the wrong things and making it worse!
2. You also suggest that I go to Network Connections via Control panel, properties of adapter, Install and select the desired Protocol(s) and install them. Is that an alternative fix to 1 above - or an essential follow-on after removing the offending adapters? (Last week I searched the machine and the Lenovo support page of drivers - and never found a TCP/IP protocol driver. If you know where one can be found, I would prefer to instal a new driver, rather than delete other devices and hope that the machine reinstalls them later!).
Much obliged for your assistance.

If I right click on a downloadable photo on a website and ask to save, nothing happens, sometimes a dialogue box will ask me if I want to save it, I select yes but nothing happens. The same if I go to the menu in Firefox browser and ask to save a page, nothing happens. If I paste the same website address in my IE browser I can save and select savings location without any problem. The same for downloads.

TQ & Regards,
Mr. TanCWHi tcw iphone malaysia,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are trying to back up your iPhone, but iTunes for Windows is not detecting the device reliably, I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
These steps can help resolve many error messages that appear when connecting your iPhone to a PC.

Can I install and use XE on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit?
I would like to install Oracle XE as a learning tool but have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit which I see in the installation guide is not supported. I guess the answer therefore is to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional which the XE Installation Guide says is supported.
I have checked various forums and there seems to be some varying opinions on this. Before I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, can someone advise the best course of action please?Good luck, managing the rdbms has many challenges.
The full 11g documentation can be quite helpful, even though XE has a subset of the SE or EE options, and going through the XE 2-Day DBA pages is good reading as well.

Using Windows 7 Home Premium on Macbook Pro 10.6.6
How can I find a manual or other information to use Windows 7 Home Premium on Mac Book Pro 10.6.6.
Specically, I am trying to find information concerning keyboard combinations that work on a PC that don't
use the same keystrokes on the Mac Book Pro (ie: what keystroke combintions to "print screens").
Also other infromation where Windows 7 differs on the Macbook Pro than what occurs on a PC.avoice wrote:

So your looking for the keyboard mapping differences between the two operating systems.
As you know you can use a PC keyboard from someplace like Logitech and map the keys the way you want too.
So really all the hard work has been done for you, use the programable PC keyboard and everything works just like before.
If you search Apple's site you'll find all the OS X keyboard combinations. -

My iTunes has been freezing when it opens then crashes my computer. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated yet it still will not open? I am using windows 7 home premium 3.2GHz with 4Gig of ram. All my other programs work flawless but iTunes will not? anyone have a solution?
Having found a working library file it may pay to copy it into the standard location and reconnect to it there. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for the steps I would normally have given.

Illustrator 15.0.2 extremely slow on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Illustrator has been working nicely on my computer up until the 15.0.2 upgrade. Now it chugs along at a snails pace and locks up/hangs frequently when switch between tools or windows.
My system specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel i7 Q720 processor
6GB RAM
1GB ATI video card
Is anybody else experiencing extremely slow performance with the 15.0.2 upgrade?I am having a suspisciously similar issue and I would like to elaborate a bit..
I too have this odd issue where Illustrator works ok (though screen redraw lags) but as soon as I go between programs, whether Notepad, Acrobat or similar simple programs - Illustrator freezes for 5-10 seconds. I go back and forth a lot - looking through documents (pdfs etc.) when I draw so the annoyance is simply unbearable.
I have used Illustrator for ages and roughly 6 months ago I bought a new PC to use at home. Its specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
PROC: Intel i7 930
RAM: 12 GB OCZ PLATINUM
GFX: ATI RADEON HD 5870
MOBO: P6X58D
These specs thrashes my specs at work by far and yet Illustrator BOTH CS4 and CS5 runs smooth and hazle free at the old worn out computer at work, while being close to useless at home. I have googled my eyes out and found no solution. Tried clearing the prefs, etc. - which made no difference. Disabled Aero and all other gfx consuming stuff - with absolutelu no improvement. I have even tried flagging Illustrator CS5 as Large Adress Aware... didn't help
I can run all other Adobe CS4 and CS5 (master edition) very good!
Can someone help - I am desperat
