Install on vista

I have vista home prem. download cs program makes dir run
setup.exe nothing happens? am logged in ad administrator.

Did you right click to run the program as an administrator?
Because if you don't, it won't matter if you are an administrator
or not because it would just try to run the program as an ordinary
user.

  • How do I install Windows Vista on my New Macbook Pro

    I need to use DOS for work to fill out reports for my organization. I have the newest 15.4 macbook pro with intel core 2 duo. I want to know the exact steps to install windows vista on my computer?? please help me.

    It depends on what you want to use Windows for, are you going to work mainly in Windows or OSX? Will you need to cross between the two and if so will restarting your computer be a pain?
    I use Paralles, a copy of that is around $75 as far as I can remember.
    Personally I had a copy of Windows XP so that was the first Windows OS I used with Paralles, then Vista came out so I though I would get a copy as it was supposed to be * the * Windows OS, when I installed Vista I was so dissapointed with it. I would go as far as say it is one of the ugliest OS's I have seen, I actually prefer XP, it's like the old space programs when you look at the sets, they made an effort but you can see the budget was low, it looks like a really poor effort at copying OSX but they didn't spend the money on doing it right.
    Anyway, I just use XP so Vista for me was a waste of money. XP works faster and is more intuitive than Vista 'If Windows can be intuative that is'.
    I also read out there that security in Vista isn't what it is cracked up to be.
    Hope this helps.

  • Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
    To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
    Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
    And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
    It is in paused mode
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
    To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
    Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
    1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
    2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
    3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
    4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
    6. Press "Install Now".
    7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
    8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
    9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
    10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
    11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
    12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
    13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
    14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
    Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
    See the Device manager info:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
    Drivers:
    1. SD memory controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
    2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
    3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
    4. Texas FlashMedia controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
    And finally the Toshiba utilities:
    Toshiba Configfree
    Toshiba Assist
    RAID utilities
    Remote control manager
    Toshiba SD Memory utilities
    That's it...
    So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
    Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

    During the installation, Windows will complain that you are installing an early device driver. Do not attempt to this, Install it anyway.
    This is because the Windows driver for this device is originally installed with a more recent date and version from that you are trying to install.
    But the driver posting here is the correct from the Alps for your Qosmio g20.

    look for the Video adapter/nvidia Gforce go6600
    Driver update options
    Look for a driver in computer
    Choose a list of device drivers in computer
    With disc...
    Lool for the place you've extracted the nvidia 97.52.rar
    Find the nvts.inf and open it

    Run the setup.exe again and install the new driver. At some install point, Windows Vista will need a confirmation, if you trust Analog devices incorporated to goes on..
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiosoundmaxinstall.jpg

  • ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

    I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
    Any ideas on this?

  • Help!  Can I still install Windows Vista through Bootcamp?

    I am currently running Lion 10.7.3 on my MacBook Pro. 
    When I purchased this laptop 2 years ago, Bootcamp allowed me to create a partition and install Windows Vista.   Then, over time I upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard and then Lion.  Never really paid attention to the bootcamp . . upgrades that came along with the system upgrades until now.
    I was having issues with my Windows Vista Partition, so I decided to use Bootcamp to remove the Windows partition (with the thought that I would just re-create it and start fresh).  Easy right?  Wrong.   Now, bootcamp won't allow me to install Vista. Only Windows 7.  I don't want to run out and buy Windows 7 when I have a perfectly good (if you can call Vista good lol) copy of Windows . .    I only need it to run a thermal printer for UPS because it is not compatible with MAC.
    IS there any way to get around this and install Vista on the partition instead of windows 7?   If so . . how?
    My gosh I am actually wondering if it's cheaper to run out and buy a cheapo Acer computer for $250 . . then to deal with this headache.
    Any suggestions?

    Vista is not supported by Lion. There are no drivers.

  • Installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on Bootcamp issue

    Hi I'm a newbie, I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit using boot camp. I went into boot camp to partition and split the 1 terabyte hardrive. half is for Leopard, the other half is for Windows Vista.
    I followed the steps and popped in the disk, awhile later I get a message saying "Where do you want to install Windows?"
    It's showing:
    Disk 0 Partition 1 200 mb primary
    Disk 0 Partition 2 466 gb Primary
    Disk 0 unallocated space 128 mb
    Disk 0 partition 3 Boot camp 464 gb Primary.
    which ever one I click on it says "Windows Cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS"
    I can't get passed this part, what do I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi Stuart,
    Vista needs its system partition to be formatted with NTFS.
    The BootCamp Asistant does a pre-format with FAT32 since OSX can not write to NTFS partitions (only read).
    Therefor you have to reformat the Windows partition with the Vista Installer to NTFS.
    See page 11 of the BootCamp Setup Guide found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ (and it's also part of the BootCamp Assistant).
    Regards
    Stefan

  • I have recently installed window vista on my macbook pro under lion, how do i install drivers in vista?

    Hi guys, I have recently installed window vista by using boot camp under Lion, and how do i install the drivers for vista?
    I don't have any installation disk come with this mac, therefore i have no ideas how it work?
    thanks.

    You should visit the Boot Camp forum, https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp. This issue has been asked and answered several times.
    There are no Vista/XP drivers for Lion or for the newer Apple computers.

  • How do I install Windows Vista in my R500 that I just put a new hard drive into?

    I was given an R500 that had the hard drive removed by the previous owner for security reasons. I bought a charger and a new hard drive and intended to install Windows Vista that I bought a while ago and never used. I charged up the battery. The battery is good. I installed the hard drive. I'm pretty sure I got that right. Then I turned on the laptop. I expected to see a menu giving me some hint as to what to do next but all I see is ThinkPad in big white letters and underneath "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button." I stared at the screen for a while and then pushed the blue ThinkVantage button. Nothing happened. I opened the disc drive and put in the installation disk thinking that should bring up a menu. It didn't. Nothing happened.
    I'm reasonably experienced with computers and have installed hardware and operating systems before but this has my stymied.
    Anybody have any idea about how this is supposed to work?

    Actually, I tried that and nothing worked. Couldn't get past the opening screen. Fortunately, I have several other Thinkpads of various models that I got for a few bucks each (without hard drives) from a business that was replacing all their laptops. I pulled the hard drive out and put it in another R500 and, after a few fits and starts, got Vista up and running and then found out that the touchpad was flakey and the mouse pointer would freeze. All the USB ports were broken so I couldn't use my wireless mouse. Out came the hard drive and my next try was in an R61. Funny thing. Vista opened right up but there's no touchpad on the R61. (You can tell I'm new to Thinkpads.) Took me a few minutes of scratching my head and googling to figure out that the red button moves the mouse pointer on the screen. Now I have one good one so far and I'll see how many of the others I can make work.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I want to get windows vista on the macbook pro with retina display but my first question is this that how do i install it without using a DVD OR CD disk drive, and my second question while installing windows vista do i have to tick mark the install win 7

    hello i have a few problems and i hope somebody has a solution my first problem is that how can i install windows vista without using a disk drive and my second problem is that should i tick mark the option which says Install windows 7 while using boot camp please reply, Thanks,

    When running Windows in a virtual environment Windows and OSx share your computer's resources such as RAM. Therefore your games can not use all your computer's resources when running.
    If you install Windows natively then Windows and your games can and do use all your computer's resource such as RAM.
    But as already said, older operating systems are not supported and will not run natively using Boot Camp Assistant. You must use Windows 7 if installing natively in Lion or Moubtain Lion.

  • Problems with R4890 T2DIG driver install in Vista

    Hello,
    I'm having problems installing drivers for a MSI R4890 T2DIG card.  I'm trying this on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate.
    Initially, I was installing all the drivers (Express Setup) from the CD and was getting a kernel dump when the HDMI Audio drivers were being installed.  A reboot of the computer resulted in a mostly black screen with streaks of color near the center just after the windows logo appears - accompanied by a bad humming noise coming from the case!  After finding no way to resolve this problem (can't uninstall in safe-mode), I had to re-install Vista....  After creating a Complete PC Backup image, I tried installing just the ATI driver (which I downloaded from ATI's site).  The result was a successful install, but subsequent reboot results in same black screen, streaks of color and bad humming sound.
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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 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.

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.

  • Why does JMF 2.1.1e install on Vista and not on XP

    I understand that JMF is not supported by Sun. Then why does it install on Vista with no issue but won't install on any of my XP (SP3) systems. All are P4 and above with one being a tablet PC. Each has proven capable of handling 4 live USB camera feeds simultaneously as well as running other things.
    My problem is too often repeated in this forum.
    On XP I start the install, the files are extracted, Setup.exe, wowexec.exe, and ntvdm.exe are started and that is all that happens. When I check the process list, they are all running (taking no CPU time). If I end the process tree starting with the distribution exe, they all end.
    However, if I don't do that and just shutdown, I find that wowexec has to be forced to end and that leaves the 16bit subsystem unstable.
    I have tried, no virus scan, running in W2K and. W95 compatibility, terminating everything in the process list I feel comfortable terminating and combinations of several and all of the above but to no avail.
    Yet when I installed the exact same distribution package on my Vista systems, all went just fine.
    I have even tried hand-installing JMF with little luck.
    Oh yes, and I even tried the install and test on VMWare virtual machine Xp and Vista systems with the exact same results. So this is clearly systemic.
    I should add that none of the systems are clones but each was individually installed and maintained with different applications installed.
    To test, I move the same powered USB hub and 4 attached cameras between the systems. On Vista they are found just fine. On the XP systems, they don't exist as far as Java is concerned. Which is strange as 3 other , non-Java programs, see them without issue on all the systems.
    You might ask, well why play with Java. The answer is simple. All of the programs I speak of are proprietary and I need a program I can modify to fit my needs and I have found a skeleton one to work with.
    But unless I can get JMF installed on XP, that plan, JMF. and Java will be gone. I simply don't have time for this foollishness.

    Could you elaborate on using JWS to install JMF from Vista to XP?Unpack them on Vista. Then you have direct access to the Jars and natives that are used. Deploy those Jars and natives from a server using JWS - that should work for both Vista and XP.
    If you go to the logical extremes and also expand the Linux/Unix version, and add the natives to the server/launch, it will also be able to support those systems. The download can be 'partitioned' so that Windows only gets the Windows natives, Linux/Unix gets the Linux/Unix natives. Mac boxes get the core Java JMF only - no natives.
    Using JWS, you get to avoid that horrendous 'must reboot' prompt at the end of the native installer. The one time I tested it, I found that to be unnecessary. But there is no way to disable the prompt, AFAIK.
    I have no experience with the facility you mention.Deploying using JWS is a big area. For a good overview, see [Deploying a Java Web Start Application|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/webstart/deploying.html].
    Note that any app. that uses natives must be digitally signed and request all-permissions in the launch file, in order to work. For a self signed certificate, this is a little tricky to design in a build file, then easy to 'stamp out' at build time.
    I have some demos, complete with source and build file, that do some of the things mentioned (most notably digitally signing apps.). If you have further questions on webstart, ask more specific questions & I might be able to help out.

  • Airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?

    airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?  Trying to help someone with vista get an airpot extreme configured.  10.0.1.1 does not work, the software will not install correctly on their vista machine.  How can I get into the base tation and lock it down?

    Hi - Vista can be tricky - I need more info to see if I can be of some help - first, is the Vista machine a desktop or a laptop and is it fully up to date with Windows Update (sp2 or higher)? - next, are you trying to install Airport Utility version 5.5.3 which is the correct one for Vista? - and finally, what do you mean "it will not install" - what kind of error messages or evidence are you getting?
