Installing Windows 7 Bootcamp Drivers after OSX has been overwritten

I previously overwrote my OSX+Win7 bootcamp installation in favor of Linux Mint 15. There were some video driver incompatibilities with my Macbook Pro 7,1 (Mid-2010), so I have re-installed Windows 7. Because I no longer have OSX, Bootcamp is not available to me in any way. In Windows 7, I cannot right click, adjust the screen/keyboard brightness, eject discs (I can eject during startup, but not once Windows is running), and there's probably more that I can't do. This is just what I've found out so far. After some Googling, I found a download link for the Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro Mid-2010 model. The file is a .pkg file, which to my knowledge, is useless in Windows. Am I ever going to be able to install these drivers? Do I need some software or to burn some kind of image to a CD/DVD? I would really like to keep this installation of Windows 7, at the very least for iTunes. I'm fairly good with these computer things, so just let me know what options I have here haha... If all else fails, I can install Mint or Ubuntu. The video driver issues aren't anything TOO bad, but they're annoying enough that I'd rather use Windows at this point.
Thanks for any help and suggestions and stuff!!

TLDR; Macbook Pro 7,1 only has Windows 7. DOES NOT HAVE OSX. How can I install Bootcamp drivers? I already have a .pkg file, but I can't use that with Windows.

Installing Lightroom 3.2 after PC has been formated

Hi all. Bought my copy of Adobe Lightroom 3.2 loving the software. I have a question about isntallation. I may have to re-format my entire PC which means allthe programmes being wiped off. Now i have already installed Adobe Lightroom once will i be able to install it again after i have formatted my PC.

Thank you very much for your help. I was hoping that you could. Which one shall i download. I have 3.2 so shall i just go for 3.3. it would have been really annoying if Adobe only every allowed you to install it once.
What about in the future if i bought a new Laptop, would it be the same procedure.

Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window

After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.

If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.

How do i install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP

when i try to install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP i get a error message saying that it only works for windows 7. I've ran windows XP on my computer so i know it works so why wont it work now.

Were you running Lion on your computer when you installed XP and it worked? How new is your iMac?
It appears you updated the OS. This is a major change from what you had previously. So the fact that it ran previously is somewhat irrelevant.

Set Cursor.vi fails after it has been called for 30 different panel refs in LV 7.1.1

Make sure both attached files (Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi, SimpleVI.vi) are in the same folder. Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi notice that the -3 error code is returned from "Set Cursor.vi" after it has been called with 30 different panel refs. If "Set Cursor.vi" is replaced with "Set Busy.vi" the same error occurs.Is there a workaround for this problem other that setting the cursor image manually in user32.dll? I must be able to open more than 30 panels and set them all to busy. In the test case I used a single VI, simply to demonstrate the error.

This bug is fixed in LabVIEW 8.0 and later. Unfortunately, I know of no workaround in LabVIEW 7.x. When I encountered this bug in one of my UIs in LabVIEW 7.x, my "fix" was simply to ignore the error outputs from the cursor VIs, and to live with the fact that I had no custom cursors after 30 windows had been opened.

How to add DNS server to CER after Server has been Built

How to add DNS server to CER after Server has been Built?
The reason why, the CER 1.3.1 that I upgrade to 7.1, had the switch list by hostname,
The install of 1.3.1 had the LMHOST file editted with all the switch names.
Is there such thing as a host file on 7.1 CER? If not, that is where I need to add the DNS server now. As they will have to add the switch hostnames to the DNS server.
Thanks
Kallol

I found where to set the DNS via CLI...
admin:set network dns
      set network dns options
      set network dns primary
      set network dns secondary
Also it requires me to configure the domain name.
set network domain name

What do i do with my downloads in my downloads folder after software has been updated? do i move it to trash? or??

what do i do with my downloads in my downloads folder after software has been updated? do i move it to trash? or??

So it would be safe to just delete them? the reason why i ask is because for example when i first stared using youtube on my macbook pro(OSX Lion) it required the flash update. I updated flash but the download still remained in the download file on the dock. So it would be safe to delete once it was updated correct?

How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been

Hi,
How to forbid any further changes for PO (QTY and price ) after it has been done GR and LIV? Thanks.

Hi,
Price anyway cannot be changed once GR is posted on the PO item, it can be changed only by cancelling the GR, the same applies to IR too.
But quantity can be changed at any time.
So if you are looking at blocking qty too, then a customized message through save exit is the option, I am not aware of any standard SAP messages that can be configured to achieve this..

Stateful session beans are not persisted across restart of the EJB server instance(s) hosting them. You can't treat a Session bean as one would an entity bean.

Boot camp 4 can't install windows support drivers

Hi everyone,
I have the new imac 27" with thunderbolt and preinstalled Lion. They dont give you a CD.
I run Boot Camp assistant (version 4.0) and try to install windows on a purchased DVD Windows 7 x64 ( i am a recent convert to mac but still need some windows proggys.)
Ok so once I run the installation It asks me to download the windows support drivers... I do this but then it stops 3/4 through the process and comes up with an error "can't install windows support drivers".
Do any of you out know how to fix this???
Also If I dont use the option to update the software before installing and just select install windows 7 (second option) from a disc. It installs windows fine BUT it wont install any of the network, usb, camera, graphics and sound drivers. so basicaly I am blocked from the internet for windows to update the drivers. I also cant get the driver files from another computer as the mac in windows mode can recognised usb sticks as the drivers arent installed.
I need help urgently on this as it is doing my head
Thanks in advance.
Daniel!

Yes, but.
Open Network Preferences>Network>Advanced>Proxies and uncheck everything (try Passive Mode on, and off, but no auto Proxies)
And try again.

How to settle the expenses after AUC has been capitalised.

Hi All,
I have a understanding that after AUC has been settled, we can edit the settlement rule in WBS element and settle directly to the capitalised assets.
I can not see the settlement rule but investment profile since the project being a Capital comes from Investment measure and automatically created.
Can you tell me how to create a new settlement rule in this case. It is Urgent
Regards
VK

Hi Vijay,
This requires a change in the settlement rule since the AUC is no more and it must be the settlement reveiver earlier which should be changed to the main asset after capitalisation.
Please go to Transaction code CJ20N, select the WBS and go to settlement rule via edit > Cost and set the receiver as the fixed assets itself instead of AUCV since AUC has been transferred to main assets.
You can then settle using CJ8G or CJ88 but CJ88 is a better option.
I think, I have answered the same query.
Regards
Bharat

Tiles- Cannot forward after response has been committed Error

I am trying to use following approach for my tiles implementation but i am getting error like
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committed.
I have gone thorugh the other posts regarding the same error but not helping me.
Any clues greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sachin
"I haven't found a way to directly dispatch to a tiles definition, but you can eliminate the need for multiple "wrapper" JSPs by creating a single "tilesDispatch" JSP that is able to dispatch to different tiles definitions, and establishing a convention for mapping URLs to that JSP, and identifying the tiles definition you want to load.
For example, you could use the following convention to identify a tiles definition:
/tiles/defName
where "defName" is the name of the tiles definition (from tiles.xml) that you want to use. The code for the tilesDispatch.jsp would be as follows:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles" %>
<%
String tilePath = request.getRequestURI();
int slashIndex = tilePath.lastIndexOf('/');
if (slashIndex >= 0) {
tilePath = tilePath.substring(slashIndex+1);
%>
<t:insert definition="<%=tilePath%>" flush="false"/>
The scriptlet code takes the request URL (e.g. /tiles/defName), strips off everything up to and including the final slash (e.g. defName), then the tiles "t:insert" tag is used to look up and insert the corresponding tiles definition.
In order to map all URLs of the form /tiles/* to the tilesDispatch.jsp, you would need to add the following to your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/tiles/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Note: You may need to insert a slash before tilesDispatch.jsp in the <jsp-file> element. I am using pre-compiled JSPs, so my configuration is a little different. So if <jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file> doesn't work, try <jsp-file>/tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>.
Once you have this set up, you can refer to tiles definitions using the /tiles/defName convention in your faces-config.xml. For example, if you have two tiles definitions in your tiles.xml file: tile1 and tile2, you could have something like the following in faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/tiles/tile1</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/tiles/tile2</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Note that when I have used this convention, I also have used the prefix mapping for JSF. That is, when linking to a JSF page, based on a tiles definition, from a non-JSF page, the URL would be as follows:
/faces/tiles/defName
In this case, the Faces servlet is initially invoked, which sets up the JSF environment. Then the /faces prefix is stripped off, and the remaining URL (/tiles/defName) is routed to the tilesDispatch.jsp, which strips off the /tiles/ prefix, and inserts the "defName" definition.
We are currently using this approach in a number of web apps, and it is working very reliably. I hope this helps.
