If you have Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate installed on a Boot Camp partition you can take advantage of XP mode. Also it is free, so check it out.

  • Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    genepaquin,
    the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

  • ACL Errors, Can't Running Any Windows Program (such : CMD, Notepad, TaskMgr, etc)

    Hello guys, Please help me.
    Today I got weird Problem, My Windows 7 Ultimate eventually can't execute any Windows Programs, such : Msiexec, Cmd, Notepad, Taskmgr, Msconfig, Regedit, etc.
    When I tried to run any Windows Programs, the Message Box Appeared with this message : Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
    Then I checked my System32 Directory, I was shocked because All of Windows Defaults Programs appeared with Locked Icon.
    Then I checked 1 by 1 Windows Program, for an Example : dcdiag.exe. I checked the Security Tab and I got this notifications : No Permissions have been assigned for this object.
    Warning : This a potential security risk because anyone who can access this object can take ownership on it. The object's owner should assign permissions as soon as possibe.
    Other Informations : 
    1. My Windows account Privilege is Administrator. 
    2. I've Actived Anti-Virus and Always Updated. 
    3. In Safe Mode Everything Was Fine, I Can run Notepad, Task Manager, Command Prompt, etc (except : Msiexec / .msi Installer). 
    4. I tried System Restore in Safe Mode, but I don't have any Restore Points. In Normal Mode, I can't execute System Restore.
    So, How can I solve this Problem?

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like a program which start with Windows blocked the access of these app.
    To open Msconfig, you can boot into Safe Mode firstly, then open Msconfig and following clean boot process to execute the operation.
    If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account.

  • Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
    To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
    Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
    Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
    I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
    Good Luck.

  • HT4597 Can I add other email accounts to my iCloud account?

    Can I add other (non apple) email accounts to my iCloud account?

    Not sure what you mean?  Who else provides free email accounts?  Google, Yahoo, Microsofts Hotmail and Live services, AOL/AIM, and most ISPs provide you with an email account as well, but each runs their own email services on their own equipment - these are proprietary services liked to physically distinct email servers (actuall, in most case to large server farms).  So Apple has no legal right, nor means, to host your Yahoo account on their iCloud servers, nor can Yahoo host your iCloud email account on their servers - neither owns the others domains (Yahoo cannot host me.com since they don't own that domain name).
    Many people (myself included) own our own domains and pay a hosting company to host those on their equipment.  I use my own domains for much of my email (and almost all of my personal email).  While those email accounts physically live on the hosting companies equipment, I can always change hosting companies and move my domain, since I own those domains.  There are many hosting companies - GoDaddy, 1and1, HostMonster, Yahoo, ...

  • Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

    My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
    on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
    Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
    During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
    each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
    is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
    IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
    (0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
    Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
    CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
    The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
    anything at the moment.
    Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
    individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
    Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted? 
    Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
    What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
    files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
    The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003
    abcpy.ini                          2KB          Configuration Settings        3/24/2003
    Adobe Reader 6.0.msi      2198KB     Windows Installer               5/19/2003
    Data1.cab                       23334KB    WinZip file                         5/19/2003
    instmsia.exe                   1669KB      Application                        3/11/2002
    instmsiw.exe                  1780KB      Application                        3/11/2002
    Rdr60ENU.itw                 16KB          ITW file                            5/11/2003
    Rdr60ENU.mst               4KB            MST file                           4/16/2003
    Setup.exe                      212KB        Application                        5/19/2003
    Setup.ini                        2KB            Configuration Settings        5/19/2003
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
    After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
    After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
    As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

  • I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

    I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
    BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks.  I thought it too loose until I tried it.  works just fine!!
    i get a solved for my own  LOL

  • Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Hi Kyley,
    Syncing fonts from CC is a feature of Typekit. However, fonts that you've installed manually on your system will be available in all your apps. You won't need to sync them.
    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Cheers,

  • Can i add storage later on a MacBook Air, and is 128 GB enough storage?

    Can i add storage later on a MacBook Air, and is 128 GB enough storage?

    Neither the storage nor the RAM on a Macbook Air is designed to be upgradeable - you need to be certain what you want when you buy it. Given that, if you have any doubts at all as to 128GB being enough you should go for 256GB. It depends on what you are going to be doing. If you are going to clutter it up with lots of movies they will eat space very fast; and music will eat space fairly fast.
    For what it's worth my iMac with notionally 500GB of storage (actually 463GB) uses 210 GB with a lot of documents and a fair amount of music and other audio recordings (but no movies). The basic System and applications will use a moderate amount; and remember that you shouldn't ever fill the storage right up as this will seriously affect the performance (at least 10% of the storage needs to be left free for system use - swap files and so on).

    Yes, You must establish a two-way trust between the central forest and user forests to enable distribution group expansion when groups from user forests are synchronized as contacts to the central forest.

  • Can I add a Windows tablet to my plan?

    I want to buy a Windows Surfact Tablet, but I do not see the option to add it as a device to my plan.  Is it supported?

    Verizon can only add devices to a plan that have a VZW modem installed already.  If it was not designed for the VZW network then you will have to consider a Jetpack or some other mobile broadband device to connect to VZW for you first.

  • How Can I add other people to the group calling wh...

    Hi,  Could you tell me how can I do this? My laptop is broken and it's in the repair center now so I have to make a call by phone or tablet. However, everytime I have to add another person to the group calling, I have to ask other people to add him/her and it's annoying. Is it available to add people from my side? Thank you in advance.

    You can add people to the chat via the little plus button left of the chat bar. If they're already in the chat and you want to add them to the call, only the host of the call can add them. I believe they have to be contacts with the host of the call or they both have to have their settings set so that they can receive calls from non-contacts as well.
