IMac for Gaming using Win XP Pro

Early 2006 I purchased an iMac 2.0 w/ 2G RAM using x1600 ATI card w/ beta boot camp using XP Pro for gaming purposes.
Now I want to expand my horizons a bit to a new iMac with the same idea as above.
My gaming includes Battlefield 2, COD4, and soon Crysis. So here is the system I want:
iMac 3.06 w/ nvidia 8800 GS which I read is NOT the 8800 but some other nvidia card. I want to expand to 4G RAM, BUT replacing all the RAM with either Crucial or Kingston for Dual Channel. Will XP Pro be stable w/ 4G dual channel? Will this system utilize DX 10. w/ the nvidia card on this Mac? If I get Crysis, I want to be able to set everything on HIGH. Are there any Driver problems that I should be aware of?

Lastpass doesn't install into firefox 18. I'm using win 8 pro 64 bit.

I have ie 10, firefox 18, and the latest version of chrome on my win 8 pro 64 bit os. I first used the universal installer for lastpass password manager to install lastpass on all my browsers. It showed up fine in ie and chrome but there was no sign of it in firefox 18. I checked the toolbars under the view tab and there was no sign of it. I've been using lastpass for about 1 1/2 yrs now and this is the first time it didn't show up in one of the browsers. I tried reinstalling using the universal installer and I also tried just installing it in firefox through the addons. There is still no sign of it. If you know what is causing this , I would like to know. Thank-You......John MacKinnon

Same problem, Windows 7, 32 bit, Firefox 18.0.

Updated Documentation for the OEM WIN Embedded Pro 7

Hello,
We have a current configuration that is using WIN PRO EMBEDDED 7 SP1 32/64BIT EMB OEI.
I am having trouble finding updated documentation or support pages for the installation of this product. We have purchased the license and OEM discs from a authorized provider, but these discs were created in 2012. Is there a place to obtain updated documentation
for this product?
PS: Systems with this product installed are set to ship to the customer TODAY.
Thanks,
Justin

Based on your question, I am pointing you to resources that might help, which in this case is the SIM help files and a book I wrote specifically to help install POS Ready 7, Windows 7 and 8.x for embedded systems using SIM. Is there a problem or concern?
BTW - This forum is for POSReady. Unfortunately there is no specific forum for Windows FES other than the answers forum.

If you have Acrobat Pro Extended that is a PC Product. You've clicked on wrong Forum. Go back to main page the click on Acrobat and choose PC forum. Extend has such features as XML based PDF Forms which Acrobat Pro Mac can't handle.

IP address not being set using Win XP Pro with Airport Extreme

Hi,
I'd appreciate any information on this subject. I got a new Airport Extreme on Friday to replace my DLink G router. Basically is blew up. So I've got it set up and my Vista laptop is running just fine. However, my work laptop which is a Win XP Pro machine can not aquire a network address. It continually says "Aquiring Network Address" and then times out and disconnects. After a lot of looking around and checking out blogs I took a look and it seems that I cannot get an IP address. When ipconfig in cmd it shows not IP address and subnet, etc as 0.0.0.0. OKay, so I try to reboot, I've also tried release renew and still no go. I can connect with a cable to the Airport and receive an IP immediately and obviously I can get directly on the cable modem I am using with Rogers with no issue. So can anyone tell me why over the air I can't get an IP? Did I set something up with this XP Pro machine that doesn't seem to have a problem with Vista?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I haven't been wired and years, slightly unsettling!
Thanks!

Okay I got it. I couldn't get an IP address and so I found another discussion. One person said to do this:
The "Limited or No Connectivity" indication is because the network adapter has failed to get its IP address by DHCP from the router and Windows has defaulted to allocating a "169.254" IP address.
Try repairing the TCP/IP stack and Winsock. Open a Command Prompt window ("Start > Run", type cmd and click OK).
To repair the TCP/IP stack, at the prompt, type...
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
...and press Enter
(note the spaces in the command line). The original prompt will reappear.
To reset Winsock entries, at the prompt, type...
netsh winsock reset catalog
...and press Enter
Exit the Command Prompt window and reboot the PC.
Well that did it! Off I go!

Reset/restore iMac for kids' use

I am giving my 2007 iMac to the kids and want to wipe out all of my docs, photos, music so it is free for their own stuff (homework, photos, etc).
I'm running Lion and it seems that if I reset to factory settings I will have to reinstall with the discs that came with the machine which was Leopard (or maybe Snow, don't remember).
If I do that, how do I get Lion back?
Do I even need to go to that level of wiping out since it is staying here (ie., not selling it to someone else)?
If not, how do I just get rid of my data but keep Lion and all the apps?
Thanks.

Configure a new 27" iMac for gaming help

My gaming computer right now is a first generation version 1.1 Mac Pro from 2006 That is more than a little long in the tooth despite having a video card upgrade to ATI 4870 in 2010 playing the beta of Elder Scrolls Online this month it chugs at just less than 30fps in to 1920x1200 it drops to under 10fps at times.
So it is time for a new computer as it is passing into the realm of no longer being able to keep up to date and due to its mother board design it is limited to osx 10.7 and under bootcamp win XP is the newest it will run
I am something of a mac diehard having bought my first Mac March of 1984 and though I no longer work on my PC (retired) I enjoy playing computer games for a few hours each day. Looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online in a few days and enjoying the improved flow of osx games seen over the last few years (but I do play games like skyrim and the fallouts under bootcamp and XP sp3.
So my target system seems to be a new iMac 27" at just under $3,000
Specifications
3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
Accessory Kit and of course a few thunderbolt to FireWire 800 converters
while I doubt I will get the 8 years between systems that this old pro got me it should be fine for the next 3 to 5 years
A new Mac Pro no longer makes sense as I no longer do the solid modeling work that justified a pro back in 06 also the new pro uses workstation graphics cards that are not optimal for games
So run with the antique Mac Pro 1.1 at medium to high graphics ( low in crowded areas ) with most of the other graphics options turned off at best for the next year or blow the tax refund on a high optioned 27" iMac
I thought of trying to find a last version Mac Pro tower used on eBay as that would mean I could just swap over all my FireWire 800 stuff and not have buy the thunderbolt converters but I do not have a good feel as to how good the last version Mac Pro will be as a gaming computer hence my question here and I will also post this over in the Mac Pro forum if it is thought to be a good idea to go with the find a last years Mac Pro idea
Thoughts?

Of course! And XP is no longer supported after this spring this is what I am stuck running on my no longer upgradable Mac Pro. I will of course install the windows 7 pro 64 sp1 that I run on my 2009 mac book pro under boot camp.
Either I find a good last model Mac Pro (I think September 13 is the last version) or I go with the 27" iMac outlined above. But either way it is about a $3,000 spend, all I am seeing on the refurb list at the apple store here of late are 2012 vintage pros, so I guess if I want a last version pro it will be eBay.... That always bothers me as I have not had the best luck getting stuff there.
And that is why I am asking about the loaded iMac 27 as a gaming machine

When I disable my left windows key for gameing using Microsoft keyboard and mouse software, I can no longer type in firefox. How can i fix this?

Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Software that you install with Microsoft keyboard and mice, (latest version) allows you to disable your windows key so that you don't accidentally hit it when gaming. When I take advantage of this feature, I can no longer type in Firefox. Typing in Firefox is completely disabled. Other browsers, windows, applications work, but not Firefox. What is it about the windows key that firefox needs for typing. Strange problem, but annoying because I have to use a different browser while game. Certainly not a deal breaker, but kinda strange.

Do I need to install flash player using Win 7 Pro and IE11?

Hi,
Could I have a definitive yes/no answer to, "Do I need a flash player plug-in when I am using 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 and IE11?"
I am using IE11 v.11.0.9600.16476
Flash v.12.0.0.38
I am not, as far as I can see, have any problems viewing anything. But Adobe insist I should be using Flash v.12.0.0.43 and they identify my browser as Gecko.
I understand that Gecko is usually identified as Firefox but is it correctly identified as IE?
Windows 8.1 with IE11 states that it is a plug-in less browser; but is Windows 7 with IE11 plug-in less or not...???
Very confusing!
Regards.

Flash Player for IE is integrated by Microsoft with Windows 8 and 8.1 only... IE11 is a "rolling train wreck", though. Almost NOTHING on the web can properly identify it if it can be identified at all. As long as your current Flash Player is working, I'd "let a sleeping dog lie". Until you NEED to update it, don't with IE11.
With WIn 8.1 it's the worst combination in all computing history. Be glad you still have 7.

Buying new IMac for IMovie use

I am purchasing a new IMac. What kind of memory do you recommend for using iMovie. If you recommend 1G, do you recommend buying one 1G, or 2 512s?
What kind of routine problems have been occurring with iMovie? With my five year old Mac I routinely had a problem with video and audio not synching and I know from reading posts that that was a problem for many people
IMAC Mac OS X (10.2.x)
IMAC Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If you recommend 1G, do you recommend buying one 1G, or 2 512s?
That depends. Do you plan to install more RAM later? Then go for the single 1GB. Personally I find it doubtful to have more than 1GB of RAM, unless you HAVE TO run a lot of apps at the same time on a regular basis (such as making it your business).
As for the sync problem, it can be avoided by recording 16-bit audio.

Compressing video for iPod using QuickTime 7 Pro ("expert")

Hi all,
I purchased QuickTime 7 Pro thinking I would be able to compress 640x480 H.264 video for an iPod. I have a specific application that requires precise control over the compression -- that is, the no-option "Movie to iPod" export setting ain't gonna cut it.
I have tried many, many different setting combinations using "Movie to MPEG-4" and "Movie to QuickTime Movie" under "File" --> "Export" in QuickTime, and I have been careful to limit sizes and bitrates per iPod tech specs as published on the Apple Web site. However, while all of the H.264 files I have output will open in iTunes, none of them will sync to my iPod. Videos I output using standard MPEG-4 compression will sync to my iPod (and look awful), but videos using H.264 will not.
Does anyone know what settings I can use to export 640x480 H.264 video to my iPod, and how I can have more control over the process than just "Movie to iPod?"
Thanks!
-- Joey
What I got (the technical details):
WinXP Pro with all the latest updates on Intel
5G 60GB iPod w/ firmware ver 1.2
QuickTime 7.1.3 Pro
iTunes 7.0.1.8
multiple Wintel machines Windows XP Pro

Welcome to the discussions, Joeysirmons.
The developer that created VisualHub (Only for the Mac) has discovered how to create iPod compatible 640x480 video where the user has full control over the compression. The changes he made were to some public libraries so these methods should be finding their way to the ffmpeg based tools for Windows soon.
