Issue with Bootcamp 5.0 and Windows 7: Ultimate 64-Bit Install

HERE are the specifications of my iMac.
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64x on a 150GB partition i created using bootcamp 5.0. I get to the point where it finalizes the windows setup, and then it says "Setup Up Desktop for first use" or something of that nature, it restarts then, and goes straight to a black screen with a black cursor. I have tried to get to the BIOS to change the boot order (thinking it may be something to do with the boot order) but I won't even let me access that! Any fixes would help a lot!!
I was using parallels before this, but I want a seperate partition so I can play games that are too high demanding (graphics wise) to run in a VM, the crash on start every time. Some run, but very choppily.
Also, I am running the latest edition of mountain Lion if that helps...

ANYONE!?

Problems with Fingerprint Reader on Touchsmart TX2-1274NR Notebook and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

I have just upgraded my tx2-1274nr to windows 7 ultimate (64-bit) [my university released the upgrade a week early] and I followed the directions provided by technical support and downloaded/installed all the updated drivers and software. Everything works great (actually better than great) except for two problems.
The fingerprint reader does not work. It shows up in the device manager, but when I try to register a fingerprint, Windows says no reader found.
This problem is not really effecting the performance, but it states on the device stage that I am missing a driver for the keyboard filters? I am not sure if this is important.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am really loving the new system, especially the multi-touch (installed the drivers from N-trig)!!
Thanks

ITunes 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I have a relatively new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have not moved the "Music Folder" to a new location. I have moved the "My Documents" folder to a new location tho. Inside of the "My Documents" folder, I see folders named "My Albums" and "Music Lyrics", but no "Music" or "My Music".
After installing the 64-bit version of iTunes, I get the following error.
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required.
The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
I have researched and seen many references to this error and Windows XP, but nothing for Windows 7.
Ideas?

Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

Issues with bootcamp the downloading and burning of WIndows support disks

Hi all,
Having real problems with bootcamp, loading XP professional all goes well, apart from the start of the process, where you are asked to download the windows support files.
Go through the process of downloading but system will not burn these to a CD or DVD nor will it get saved to an external USB device.
Also if I go to the Apple website and down load the new windows drivers pack, the .exe file just refuses to run.
I have installed XP but cannot get the drivers for my Macbook Pro 13, I am running 10.6.7 OSX so wondering where I am going wrong. If I am now get page cannot be found on the apple website for the drivers
Safari can’t open the page “http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=18808&cat=59&platfor m=osx&method=sa/BCUpdateXP.exe” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
Any help greatlyfully accepted

Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
Try to install
2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
How to disable realtime scans
Try the install
3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
Try the install
Enjoy your Monday!

Wierd issue with Sound Blaster Z and Windows 8.1

I have just started having an issue with my sound card. For the past year it has been working perfectly fine with no issues. There have been no recent changes to the computer, but within the past week, if I am in the middle of a game or listening to music, the computer will once a day lock up, I then have to restart the computer. After it restarts, the right speakers, and only the right will not work, Center, Subwoofer, and Left side speakers work 5.0. I then go the Sound Blaster Z-series control panel and re-enable the surround sound. At this point the Center and Subwoofer cease to work, but the right side works perfectly fine. After a couple of resets the center and subwoofer still do not work. I then have to go to the back of the computer and change the cable for the center / subwoofer from left most to the second left most (as looking at the back of computer from the top side). It will work fine this way with all speakers working, for roughly a day then it will lock up again. I have to go through the same process, but move the cable from the second left most to the left most output for it to work again. I tried for the past two days to troubleshoot by removing all the software and creative drivers. Same issue after reinstalling with a fresh driver set. Any help, because this is completely annoying.
System Stats:
ASUS P6T Deluxe Motherboard
Intel Core i7 965 CPU

Thank You,

Considering that there is already a ca0132 driver for linux, which was made to support chromebook pixel laptop. It should not be hard for creative to make that driver compatible with discrete cards and motherboards that make use of that chip. But Creative seriously dropped the ball on users and does not care about them. I do not understand this, because all previous creative cards are supported in linux. Steam OS and steam boxes are around the corner and Creative is missing a big opportunity.

Any known issues with Flash player 9 and windows 2003 compatibility?

Hi guys..
Is there any known compatibility problem with running flash
applications
on Windows 2003 Server?
My application runs just so well with Windows XP
yet it throws a 2015 bitmap error
when it is being run on the windows 2003 server.
(Not quite often but often enough. the only difference is the
operating
system)
Is there any known issue about this?
Or could there be any compatibility problem with flash player
and
windows 2003?
Any hints would be deeply appreciated...
Thank you...

ITunes and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Is there an iTunes version that is compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, can you please let me know?

I have iTunes 7.3.2.6 running on Ultimate Vista 64. I initially had problems with it recognizing my DVD-RW but eventually found a solution in this group related to the GEAR drivers.
The only problem that remains is not recognizing the current user as administrator unless you "launch as administrator." But this has not affected performance.
BTW, when application developers list "32-bit Vista" under system requirements, this does not mean that 64-bit Vista versions can't run it, it only means that it's not a 64-bit app. Vista 64 is designed to run 32-bit apps.

Issues with Dynadock 3.0 and Windows 8

My setup is as follows:
Toshiba Satellite C875 laptop
Windows 8 (64bit)
Toshiba Dynadock u3.0 (brand new)
Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft) USB3.0 drivers
Intel HD graphics 4000
Installed 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows' 7.1 M0 21DEC2012
When I plug the dynadock in, the keyboard and mouse work, but there is no display on the monitor. There is no Displaylink icon in the system tray even when I plug the dock in. I have a monitor plugged into the dvi connector in the dynadock.
The Displaylink software is installed correctly and the service is running. In device manager->USB Display Adapters, there are two items, DisplayLink Display Adapter (4305) and dynadock U3.0.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Displaylink software several times and nothing I do seems to produce an icon in the system tray. (I'm checking when the dynadock is plugged in)
I have the latest USB3.0 drivers installed.
I have plugged the dynadock into a USB2.0 slot and a USB3.0 slot and same result. It appears that the software is installed correctly, but I can not get the display to work, nor even see the DisplayLink icon.
I know the dynadock is working because the display works fine on a windows 7 machine.
I contacted DisplayLink with this and they said it is a firmware issue on the dynadock.
Any thoughts on what's going on would be appreciated.

The DisplayLink people are misinformed. There are no firmware updates for the Dynadock. Check this website and go to Product Support. Click on Laptop Accessories and click on Dynadock and finally click on your model of Dynadock. See any firmware updates? Me neither.
Check your settings. Make sure the DVI monitor is turned on and plugged into the Dynadock. Make sure the Dynadock is turned on and plugged into the computer and THEN turn on the computer. Check the Control Panel and click on Display and then Screen Resolutions. It should show two monitors.
If you're still not getting any display on the DVI monitor, make sure you are using the latest video driver. In this case DisplayLink will have the latest driver. The Toshiba people will need to test the DisplayLink drivers first before they put it up on their website.

Issue with HP Photosmart 5520 and Windows XP laptop

Hi there,
Was hoping for some help.
I have a HP Photosmart 5520 which is setup correctly on my wireless network has been working for some time.
There are a few laptops on the network that can print to it fine, including my Asus, which is running Windows 7.
At this moment in time, my housemates laptop, a HP running Windows XP is unable to connect to the printer. It was working fine however after a virus and malware scan discovered heaps of malicious software, which was removed, the laptop was unable to print. It still had the printer as listed but it seems the actual print job wasn't being sent to the printer.
As mentioned earlier, I am still able to print fine from this laptop.
From here I have removed the printer from the HP laptop, along with the software. This was so I could attempt to reinstall the printer on the laptop. Now, when I try to reintall the printer, upon selecting the Wireless option it doesn't appear to be able to find the printer. This printer is setup on a static IP, so I've typed in the IP and it still appears that the laptop just can not find the printer.
I have attempted everything but nothing seems to want to work. I know XP is a dead operating system but the house mate has no choice but to use it for now.
Is there any suggestions? I don't know if it's the printer or the laptop.
Look forward to any replies, and thank you in advance.
Kindest Regards,
Michael.

Welcome to the HP Forums Rectrix,
I see by your post that you are able to find the printer over the wireless network on the Windows XP computer.
I can help you with this issue today.
Install the printer as a USB connection on the Windows XP to get the software fully installed.
Then setup the wireless by going to start, all programs, HP, select the printer, select Printer Setup & Software Selection,
select Convert a USB connected printer to wireless. Follow the steps to finish setting up the wireless connection.
If there is anything else that I can help you with just let me know.
Have a nice day.
Thank You.

Compatibility issue with itunes 10.6 and windows 7

I just installed the update to itunes 10.6 on windows 7 64bit, and it says that it is not compatible with my theme (so it switches it back to the windows 7 basic) I normally wouldn't mind however my screen blacks out and it's really annoying. I don't have any compatbility settings checked off at the moment. However I did try changing them and it still doesnt work.
Itunes worked just fine before the update...

Okay. Sometimes that can indicate a stuck registry key.

Issue with Acrobat 7.0 and Windows 7

Trying to install and use Acrobat 7.0 Pro with Windows 7. It's not working properly when trying to open a file in the Acrobat. Any suggestions or what upgrade to Acrobat do I need?

Acro 7 is not compatible with Win 7. In your case there are no upgrades. You need to buy a full version of Acro XI. The minimum version to be eligible for upgrade pricing is Acro 8.

Sony Clie NZ90 and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

Good afternoon!
I have done my best to Search and read through many of the Sticky and normal posts that might relate to trying to get my Clie to talk to my new HP laptop, on both this forum as well as others. I think that there may still be a couple of things to try; however, I would be very appreciative if one or more of you can help shorten the process for me, since I've already invested a dozen hours or so on this issue and I'm a bit tired and frazzled.
- My Clie came with Palm Desktop v4.x. In its HotSync Manager or elsewhere, I do not see a bluetooth setting. I'm wondering if that it's only in Palm Desktop v6.x? If so, is Palm Desktop v6.x compatible with Sony Clie NZ90 (i.e., can I upgrade to v6.x without losing all of my data)? If not, is there any way I can do a bluetooth HotSync using Palm Desktop v4.x? Both the Clie and my HP laptop have bluetooth.
- My new HP laptop is a 64-bit machine. I have tried installing the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software from both the regular as well as the x86 Program Files directories, and I get an immediate incompatibility notice, so I am unclear as to how to get Windows 7 to recognize the Clie and Palm Desktop even using the Aceeca drivers. Running under Windows 7 is not critical, since I have a Windows XP Virtual Machine that seems to work well, but I figured I should ask in case I was missing something obvious.
- As I said previously, I have the Windows XP Virtual machine up and running. I installed the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software with no problem, and I can use the Palm Desktop v4.x. However, when I try to HotSync via USB, the Windows XP Virtual machine tries to load drivers, and can't find them. In the past (on previous Windows XP machines), I have just had to specifically point the wizard to (browse to) the NZ90 drivers, and they would load. This failed on my laptop. I tried the Aceeca drivers, and they, too failed. Going to the Device Manager, I see that it's identified as a virtual machine device, rather than seeing it as a Palm Handheld device. Could this be the problem, and if so, is there a workaround?
- Is there anything else I'm missing at this point that can get me up and running?
Thank you in advance for all of your patience and expertise!
