Installing Virtual PC for the first time

I have had a Powerbook G4 for a while now, and was thinking about installing Virtual PC. Powerbook G4's do not have the intel chip, they use PowerPC, so any of the newer programs for the intel macs would not work (however, if there are any other programs for those using PowerPC that are better than VPC I am open to suggestions). I was wondering you have to erase your hard-drive before installing VPC? If so, is there any comparable software where that is not necessary?

  • Installing GroupWise 2012 for the first time

    Hello,
    I am looking for some help on installing GroupWise 2012 for the first time, and onto a brand new Windows 2008 Server. I have looked at some of the documentation for this, but I do not fully understand what I need to do. For example, I need to have eDirectory installed so I installed eDirectory on the Windows sever. I don't know what settings I need to use for eDirectory or if I even need a Netware server, too. I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through this step by step and provide me with values for a basic system I would appreciate it. My first goal is to learn how to install GroupWise 2012 on a Windows 2008 server. Once I understand this, then I can redo it and go from there.
    Thank you for your help.
    John

    Hi John,
    Let me see if I can be of some sort of assistance.... you don't need a NetWare server - besides they are obsolete.
    I created the following set of instructions for somebody doing a first time install on Linux - perhaps just read around it and see if it works for you in a windows environment:
    "on the server run the GroupWise install: ./install from the directory where you have the software
    select "Create or Update a GroupWise System"
    accept the license agreement
    create the software distribution directory (default should be fine)
    From the Select Software dialog select the Select All button
    when the copying is complet select Creating a new GroupWise System
    to start ConsoleOne select Run
    when prompted with the Linux Mount Directory select OK
    when prompted, take note of the steps yout ake to create a new system, then select OK
    login to consoleone with your admin credentials
    in the left pane select GroupWise System the select Tools | GroupWise Utilities | New System
    select next
    confirm that your tree is correct
    select Extend eDirectory Schema check box and then select next
    When prompted for a system name enter something simple like GWise
    When prompted for a primary domain name enter a domain like gwdom1 (I'm keeping it generic in this scenario)
    when prompted for a domain directory enter a path ie /opt/novell/groupwise/dbs/gwdom1
    select next
    Next to the domain context fields select the browse icon
    browse to and select the container that will hold the domain (you might want to create an organisational unit called groupwise in your tree for this purpose)
    next slect your language and time zone
    when prompted for a post office name enter a poa name like gwpoa1 (again, generic in this example)
    when prompted for a post office directory enter a path eg /opt/novell/groupwise/dbs/gwpoa1
    the context for the post office is assumed to be the same as the domain
    select the language and time zone for the post office
    in the post office link dialog confirm that tcp/ip is selected
    enter your ip address of your server
    leave the ports at default - don't mess with these unless you know what you are doing!
    in the IP address of the MTA (that would be your domain) enter the IP of your server
    leave the ports at default
    browse and add existing edirectory users to your GroupWise system
    to create the GroupWise system select next
    view the installation summary then select next
    the final step is to install the agent software - select next
    from the GroupWise agents configuration dialog select next
    confirm that the check box for Launch GroupWise AGents on system startup is selected then select exit
    exit the GroupWise installation program
    from the terminal winodws enter rcgrpwise start to load the groupwise agents"
    Good luck

    Hi Mark,
    Yes, I did visit you guys in Israel a couple of months ago. I hope all of you are doing well.
    Is there another computer on your network that has more or less the same configuration as yours? Same databases, etc. Does your computer have the same network settings as the others where it is working?

    I just recently installed Illustrator on an Windows 8 machine and when I try to launch it 32 or 64bit it crashes right after the splash screen.

    Your info is too vague. you have to provide detailed system info and otehr details liek the crash logs. On a hunch you may need to look at this:

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.8 for the first time and it keeps crashing

    I just installed Firefox for the first time and when it is finished installing I tell it to start. It tries and as soon as it does I get a crash report. Every time I click Restrt Firefox it comes up with the same crash error, which is the following:

    I am running this on a Duo Core processor, Intel, Laptop, Windows 7 with 4-gigs of ram. I have never had a problem with other programs crashing like this before.
    Any ideas? I have never used Firefox and after 20 years have decided to try something new.
    Thanks for any help.

    You mean out of this whole community no one knows how to fix this ... I wanted to give Firefox a try, but honestly, I am starting to see why I have not switched from IE, it is stable and I get answers when I post to the Microsoft boards as well as the answer to everything I have ever had an issue with is out there ... what is worse is that I am not the only one with this problem and no one can still help because I am sure us five are not the only ones that have run into this.

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
