Windows 7 now official - Join the Windows 7 Launch discussion today

All,
This Win 7 RTM board will be winding down as Windows 7 is now an official product and we need to separate the beta discussion from discussion about the released product, Lenovo Enhanced Experience implementation on systems shipping 10/22/09 onward, and other topics.
Please join the discussion on the Win 7 Launch discussion board, view some of the videos that Matt Kohut uploaded last night which address many of the common questions. For a limited time, we have asked some of our engineers, some featured in the videos, who have been close to the Windows 7 program and Lenovo Enhanced Experience to join the discussion and help answer some of your questions for the next two weeks.
Thanks,
Mark

Yus9,
Fair points - I think straight up questions and answers will come out. There is the Lenovo and Windows 7 page that should have links and most of the information that you might need.
Rather than have 1 very long video, we tried to break up some of Matt and John's discussion into relevant chapters. Not everyone is a fan of video, but I thought it added another way for people to connect with us.
Thanks !

How to make Adobe Plugin use the windows print menu

I am having the following Problem:
I open a PDF in Firefox with the Adobe Reader Plugin. ( Everything is up to date )
Now, when i press "print", the firefox print menu shows up, which does not contain any options
like printing multiple pages on 1 page, which is the functionality that i require.
( also multiple page ranges for page selection is not available in the firefox print menu )
Downloading the file and opening with Adobe on the computer ( and then pressing print ), however, gives me access to the complete print menu with all needed options.
Printing directly from the browser would be more comfortable, however.
Is there a way that i can change the print menu?

Please provide a screenshot of the Print dialog box that is appearing under that circumstance.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem 
It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

Join to Windows domain, what is benefits ?

Hi there,
I know it's strange question but can you answer it?
If I make my Mac joined a Windows domain what is benefits I get as a system administrator? Is Windows server policy deployed on Mac (Password policy and so on)?
Also if a network user (from Windows server) log in to Mac except home folder what I get?
Thanks for help

If I make my Mac joined a Windows domain what is benefits I get as a system administrator? Is Windows server policy deployed on Mac (Password policy and so on)?
You're right - if you authenticate against the Windows domain, then all the Windows policies are in effect - expiration, password restrictions, auditing, etc.
Also if a network user (from Windows server) log in to Mac except home folder what I get?
I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Download issue when Windows 7 Pro joins a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory

Hi,
I purchased 2 new Dell OptiPlex 3010 desktop computers that came with Windows 7 Professional operating system with SP1.
There were no Microsoft updates installed yet. After I added one of these Dell computers to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, I was not able to download several items.
Below are several examples:
1) I downloaded the Norton anti-virus installation file. This file is not the full installation of Norton; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Norton web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it does not download the full installation files.
It just hung at the screen saying “Downloading” and it will finally stop with an error (don’t remember the error message).
Note: If I have the full Norton installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
2) I downloaded the Adobe Reader installation file. This file is not the full installation of Adobe Reader; it is more of a file where you execute it and it will download the full installation from the Internet like from their Adobe web
site. So when I executed this installation file, it hung at the downloading part and then it will error out with a “Actionlist Not Found” message.
Note: If I have the full Adobe Reader installation file then I am able to install it on this computer with no problems.
3) I installed Microsoft Office 2010 Standard version on this computer.
I configured Microsoft Outlook to retrieve emails from my email provider (pop and smtp settings).
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, I was able to send emails through Microsoft Outlook successfully (and very quickly), but he was unable to retrieve my emails. The progress bar for the Receiving in the "Outlook Send/Receive Progress" box
shows no progress. The Progress bar is not moving. There is a message at the bottom of Microsoft Outlook stating "Receiving message 1 of 6 (x.xx KB of x.xx MB)" and it is very slow. My new emails were not being retrieved at all.
I tried various pop and smtp servers that was available for my email provider, but all had the same effect.
4) I can access certain web sites (e.g.
www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com) while I cannot access other web sites like
www.usatoday.com, my web hosting email site.
Note: I had a Dell computer with Windows XP Professional operating system and this computer does not have any of the above issues.
The above are only a few examples that I have experienced.
If I removed this Dell OptiPlex 3010 computer from the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I still experience the same issue.
So as another test, I setup the other new Dell OptiPlex 3010 with the same Windows 7 Professional OS with SP1.
This time, I did not join the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and I was able to successfully download the full Norton installation files, download the full Adobe Reader installation files, download my emails from Microsoft Outlook 2010, etc.
But once I joined this computer to the Windows Server 2008 Active Directory then I am not able to download these files and emails at all.
It seems like there might be some group policy or a security setting that is preventing these downloads so I disabled the group policy on the Windows Server 2008 AD and Windows 7 Profession OS, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
I disabled all of the firewall programs on this Windows 7 Professional OS, but it still did not resolve the issue.
Since the Windows Server 2008 AD did not have DHCP installed, I installed DHCP and setup a scope.
Then configured the Windows 7 Professional OS to obtain an IP address, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
If I move this Windows 7 Professional computer to another network where it did not have any Active Directory; it just had a wireless router serving DHCP then everything works on the Windows 7 Pro computer.
Any ideas what is the root cause when a Windows 7 Professional computer join a Windows Server 2008 AD?
Thanks,
wl_tech

Hi,
Could you please tell some information for the AD environment and how it connect to the internet?
Regarding 3rd party installlers didn't work as expected, please also seek help in their offical website.
For outlook not receiving emails, could you please take a look in
Event Viewer and see if there are any special errors logged there?
And when trying to access the website like
www.usatoday.com, any special errors IE showed out?
Best regards

Time Machine, External Hard drive, and the Windows Partition

Is it possible for me to back up my mac with Time machine, and also back up my windows partition on the same HD? I just got the External HD today, so I'm very new at this. Thanks for your help.

Time machine does not work with windows drives.
however the way I have backed up my bootcamp partition is to use diskutility to make a dmg of the windows partition. I then only make regular backups of my user account on the windows partition.
You could partition the new external drive and make 1 partition hfs+ and the other fat32. Then when booted into windows it will see the fat32 partition on the external drive. Then you can carry out backups from within windows to that partition.
Timemachine will backup your mac partition with no problems.

Problems with the windows update site in 32-bit Vista Business

Hi Everyone,
I am experiencing problems with the windows update site. As far as I know it shold make a link to the Windows Update module on-board and show the available updates after scanning. However, I get to the page that says "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with this website" and the next page I get is "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view". The error number is 0x80070002. I go to the knowledge base and delete the content of the Data Store folder as advised, but to no use at all. Active X controls are enabled Java is working fine. I've cleaned the register and everything, did a complete scan with Onecare as advised by Microsoft, which did not find anything but again the same error message. I am using KIS 2009 and I am sure I have no viruses or any other malware. I even tried to go to the update site with the KIS switched off but to no avail too. On the other hand I don't have problems with the automtic updates and when I run a manual update from the Update module everything is OK. Do you have any suggestion as to what might be the issue with the website updates?
P.S. I am using 32-bit Windows Vista Business on a Lenovo W500.

Is it possible to join a Windows server domain?

Hi, We have a mixtures of Windows and Mac clients at school. We have recently had installed a Windows Server 2003. The windows all work well - but other than as a file server can I expect more from the macs? Is it possible to join the windows domain - and log in as different users so that different network drives are mounted at log in? Thanks in advance!

drives are mounted at log in? Thanks in advance!
Yes. The server does not have to be running Services for Macintosh.
If the server is running Active Directory, you'll have to work with the windows admin people to create the AD account.
Otherwise, you'll just hae access to the shares.
On the Mac, I think the AD options are under Directory Services.
To map drives at login, the easiest way is to write an Applescript, save it as an application, and add it as a login item.
I can't recall the exacy syntax, but for each drive, the script should look something like this:
Tell Application "finder"
try
mount "smb:\\windows.server.ip.address\sharename"
end try
You will get a user id/pw/domain prompt for each share.
For e-mail, assuming they use Exchange, you'll need exchange server 2000 SP 2 or higher with OWA, IMAP, and LDAP active on the mail server to be able to access mail through Entourage or Apple mail.
Otherwise, you'll be limited to Outlook Web Access.
Printing: Standard IP,LPR, or appletalk printer setup.

Suggest to better design the view?

Hello Experts,
we are in the process of designing a huge User Interface using WDJ for our client. And this would contain many views which has to render few UI Elements based on the End Users action. For eg., in a view there will be a few default elements displayed with a Button to Add a couple of Table UI Element and a couple of Input Fields upto 5 or 10 times.
I just want make sure to keep the view/component/custom controller lite , how could I design this particular view?
Any thoughts or ideas or suggestions are very much helpful.
Thanks in advance
Balaji

Hi,
If you know the number of UIs in design time, Please create them in design time. If not go for Dynamic UI Generation.
I would prefer Matrix layout over Grid layout. Check out the following link for more info

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

Windows 7 Control Panel won't uninstall Adobe Drive CS4

As I am now running Adobe CS6, I attempted to use the 'Uninstall or change a program' facility in the Windows 7 Control Panel to remove an entry labelled 'Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium'. In fact, all that currently remains under that heading is Adobe Drive CS4. The Uninstall process for Adobe Drive CS4 appears to be working but then ends with the following message.
Done
Some problems occurred while components were
being removed. Please see below.
However, nothing is shown below that message except an Exit button. The uninstall process has no effect no matter how many times it is run.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or which disk locations are relevant for a manual deletion?

Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
Follow on-screen instructions
This information is NOT correct. Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop. It only shows the most current installation. Photoshop is a great example of why this is so. I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription. Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe. In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident. For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe. Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe. So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused. But that does not help the rest of us.
The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications. I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on. So, I'd add a question for Adobe: How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use. Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed. So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?

Cannot login from Windows iCloud control panel, but that not all...

I set up my Apple Id and downloaded the Windows iCloud control panel, but when I try to sign in from my PCI get this message: "You can't sign in because of a server error." But when I check the status of icloud everything is operational. But if I go to the icloud page directly, I can sign in normally. The reason this is an issue is that I cannot setup icloud on my computer properly and with all of the options I want without signing in from the icloud control panel. This really bites, and any help would be appreciated immensly.
Thanks, Scott

I am having the same problem. I really need a solution. My Admin is flying blind without being able to see my calendars.
