New College MBP - Need Some Windows Help

Hope this is the right forum (?)!
For those of you who run Windows on your Macs ...
My son starts college next year - he's been on a Mac since age 3 (go figure).(We have 5 at home and 5 at work).
I'm getting him a MBP 17" but he'll need Windows (which I can operate smoothly but thank God know nothing about when it comes to installation and what's on the OS).
He'll be using OS X for most of his stuff, but some classes apparently require Windows.
So - BootCamp - that much I can figure out. It's what I need to buy to get Windows installed which has me in a quandary (the MS site is horrible). Does Vista come with Word and Excel and PowerPoint installed, or do I need to buy that separately (along with the Mac version which I have for his OS side of the computer)?
I'd like to get him set up so he can get used to that strange operating system over the summer, so if any of you parents/pros have any suggestions on what to buy from MS, and how to best get it set up,I'd sure appreciate your input. On that score - antivirus for Windows? What's suggested?
Thanks (from a confused dad who bought his 1st Mac in 1984, and never looked back - or elsewhere!).

HI,
Son goes to school but you have homework to do
BootCamp - Run Windows on your Mac I gave you this link just in case. Might need it in the future.
To my knowledge Word/Excel and PowerPoint software does not come pre-installed on Windows Vista. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080629231850AAv0bby
*"On that score - antivirus for Windows? What's suggested?"* Anti-virus software is definitely a must when running Windows on a Mac. (Avoid Norton). Try here. http://www.mcafee.com/us/
Here's a link to the BootCamp forums to post for help and suggestions. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.

  • Replaced zd8000 motherboard and need some troubleshooting help please............

    Hello All,
     I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4, 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, Win XP) with a used but tested good MB and need some help with the following.
    1) I now cannot play DVD movies as the error no "dvd decoder" present which was not an issue before?  Where can I go to get a free decoder that will work, as Windows only shows paid versions?  We have the dvd burner/reader with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET HAD DECODER.
    2) The internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, is running around 140 degrees with just some Internet browsing.  Is that a normal temperature because I only have one of three fans running on the laptop?  Is there anyway of making all three fans run to be sure there are no issues?  I am positive I hooked up everything but again only one fan seems to be running?
    3) I discovered some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I may get the Seller to give me a discount, no intention of tearing it apart simply for that, but is there any concern of short or otherwise?
    4) Our battery stopped charging years ago, these were notorious for such, but I purchased a new one last year and hoped the replacement MB would allow charging again.  No such luck though.  Is there anything I can do, BIOS update etc, to make the battery charge?
    5) Anything you folks can think of for me to test to insure the new motherboard is working properly?
    Thanks, Ralph 
    P.S. This was a correct replacement board according to MB serial numbers.  Everything else seems to be functioning properly other than mentioned.  Our graphics went out on the original MB.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Some of the wires had pushed out of the harness that connected the other two fans.  I double checked and re-attached those so now the laptop is running quite a bit cooler.
    EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

  • Remember me.....well i need some real help now....:)

    Hello guys,i hope that u remember me...if not i hope that u ll help me anyway....

         } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
              System.out.println("Only numbers are allowed!!");

    double AvlOvr;
    CurrentAccount() {
    double ovdr;
    ovdr=100;
    AvlOvr=ovdr;
    interface Personal {
    void Deposit ();
    void Withdraw ();
    the thing is that i need some help cause i cant find some sollutions....
    i d like to give to the user a random id....
    then at the CurrentAccount subclass i d like to add a Username to the user.Then Level 2 worries me as well.....I ll post u my assignment so u can have a look....If u could help me with Level 2 sollution and the thing that i told u before i d be grateful.......
    by the way..i hope that u all guys have nice holidays!!!
    Here is the assignment:
    JAVA LAB ASSIGNMENT � B241
    Bank Account
    Level 1
    Create a bank account that reads in the following information about a single customer
    account:
    Initial balance
    Deposit amount
    Withdraw amount
    Current Date
    Give the account holder a random account id number.
    Display error messages if the number of parameters is incorrect or negative parameters are
    entered.
    Verify that the amount being withdrawn is available (i.e. make sure that the initial balance +
    deposit amount is greater than or equal to the amount being withdrawn).
    Calculate the balance amount in the account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Create a BankAccount class, which defines a bank account
    - Use command line arguments to read in the account information
    - The customer account values are private and accessible only through the
    BankAccount class
    - Use the file, InsufficientFundsException.java given to you (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) to create an Exception class called
    InsufficientFundsException.class that throws an exception if an
    InsufficientFundsException occurs in your BankAccount class. Make the necessary
    changes to the file if you feel the need to do so.
    - Print out the following information:
    2
    account holder�s id
    balance amount
    amount being withdrawn
    the current date and time
    (Hint: this will occur when the amount withdrawn is more than the total amount in the
    account. Your withdraw method throws the InsufficientFundsException exception which
    should be caught in your main program from where you are calling the withdraw method).
    Subclass the BankAccount class for the specifics of a CurrentAccount class that adds an
    additional field to the already existing information:
    User name
    The account balance and account id values should still be private and now accessible only
    through the CurrentAccount subclass.
    Allow the CurrentAccount class to provide overdraft protection of up to �100.
    Task:
    - Incorporate the additional functionalities into your initial program and print out the
    values as before.
    ********************************END OF LEVEL 1 **************************
    Level 2
    Add the following functionalities to your Level 1 program.
    Define an interface named Personal, consisting of two methods:
    Deposit
    Withdraw
    Read in the account information specified in Level 1 for more than one user through the
    command line parameters and display appropriate error messages as before.
    Calculate the balance amount in each account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Increment the account id each time a customer is added (For instance, if the first
    customer id is 100, the next id should be 101 and so on).
    - Implement the Personal interface in the BankAccount class.
    - Print out the customer information for all customers as you did in Level 1.
    *****************************END OF LEVEL 2*****************************
    Level 3
    Extend the above features to add some more personal information about the customer such
    as:
    a. Name: surname first name
    b. Date of birth: day/month/year
    c. Address: street
    Town
    Postcode
    d. Phone: home number work number
    e. E-mail: e-mail address
    Customer�s data is stored in a file. It is retrieved from the file when the bank is opened and
    stored in a memory buffer. The memory buffer is updated after every transaction. The
    contents of the memory buffer are written into the file when the bank is closed.
    Design a data management structure of the bank with several customers. The bank performs
    �deposit� and �withdraw� transactions by using Java I/O streams.
    Use the SimpleClient.java and SimpleServer.java files (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) as a base for creating your own Client and Server
    windows. Make the necessary changes to the files for them to work within your programs.
    Tasks:
    - Create a non-graphical user interface to be able to
    o enter customer�s data
    o display customer�s personal and account data after every transaction
    - Write a JAVA program to read and write customers data from/to a file.
    - Create a client � server networking environment using Java�s networking capabilities
    such that data is entered through the server window and displayed by the client in the
    client window.

    Ela re si k eimaste k sinonomatoi...anyway...could you pleaze help me with my assignment...my other problem is that i've writen some more code for the 3rd part where it says add some more fields for the customers.I save them in a file and i restore them but i dont know how can i call them when the bank is opened....here's the rest of the code....
    import java.io.*;
    public class UserInfo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    throws IOException {
         String k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r;

    new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.print("First name:");

  • New to SAP, need some direction

    Hi everyone, pretty much as the title states, I'm brand new to SAP and I need some direction as to what's the best way to start learning it.
    To make my long story short, the company I work for was going to transition from a home-grown Sybase application to SAP Business One. 9 months and $150k later, they decide SAP sucks. Which upsets me because there's about 20 pages of SAP related stuff on all the job hunting sites and I'm always looking to "broaden my horizons" or something like that.
    So now that no one using SAP... I want to start taking it apart and learning how it works. I just have no idea where to begin. I looked at the FAQs and all, but I don't think I'm even at that point yet.
    So how can someone completely new to SAP get started?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I need some serious help with Oracle Database....PLEASE!!

    Database instance is DOWN but that is not the problem
    Listener is UP
    Agent Connection to Instance is DOWN, and I cannot get this running!

    What I mean is that I can get the Instance UP with no problem, but the Connection with the Instance is the problem.

  • GT70 680m/8970m troubleshooting - need some experienced help!

    Hi!
    Looping for some serious help...
    After some erratic behavior my i7 3rd gen GT70 just stopped working with MSI 680m 4GB. The card shows on occasions in manager, but both - discrete and HD4000 have no installed drivers and wont work unless 680 is plugged out (then intel kicks in without prob). That happened after some automatic driver updates and possibly BIOS update. Tried a ton of these and Bioses, rather randomly, trying to solve the disappearance of my 680m from control panel, but non of them worked. To make the things worse, I've messed with EC firmware editions trying the "beta" t25,21,16,17 - one of them bricked the lappi for good... Had MSI re-flash the bios (couldn't do the blind flash myself) but they say they can't help me with 680 since it is from GT60 originally and it's not supported by GT70 (I switched it from 675 to 680 in the other MSI laptop some 8 months ago - both worked without a problem until the issue). Don't have access to check my 680m in another MSI to check if it's working and is no hardware failure, but have access to 8970m from CLEVO for some decent bucks - was wondering which bios should I install to run it in my GT70 or which bios/EC firmware to flash so my old 680 start working again... This or that... Any idea? Guys? Svet? Sure will make the donation if needed of course!

    Checked that out. What I need is some info which BIOS to use in GT70 0ND for 680m or 8970m, particularly. My 680m stopped working after the bios/ec firmware update, still shows in manager but tries to the same resources as integrated Intel HD resulting in both not working. Is there a bios that allows for permanently switching off optimus and integrated gpu? Or the bios that will accept radeon 8970m (that works perfectly in 2nd gen MSI gt780 by the way...). Any ideas?
    No special BIOS is required to support 680M. Just use the latest BIOS release for model GT70 0NE by MSI, it should be working on the machine as long as there is no other strange issue, like a malfunction VGA card/Mobo....

  • Getting Started with Podcasting - need some direction/help

    hi,
    I need some information on how to get started Podcasting. Any good online resources, software, etc.
    I have looked at garageband3 on my iMac and it seems to be quite good, but what else is out there and does anyone have any tips or suggestions on getting started?
    Thanks in advance!!
    BCA

    I still have GB 2 so I don't know about GB's podcasting abilities (though some of the questions I see here suggest it's not all that wonderful).
    I use, and would recommend, Podcast Maker:
    http://www.potionfactory.com/podcastmaker/
    which is $29.95 and is available on a 30 day free trial.
    You make your podcast using GB or whatever program you want, and save it as an MP3 file. You then open it in Podcast Maker and add the summary and description fields, and if you want it to be an enhanced podcast you add chapters and the artwork. It will then upload it to your iDisk or the server of your choice, create the XML file, and ping the Apple Store if required. All this is seamless and easy to use.

  • New to flex, need some help

    Hello, I am a new user of Flex 4 and have recently gone thru the training courses available here (Flex in a week).  I have been tasked with moving some of our firm's webpages that use jsp and spring to connect to a mysql database to a flex frontend. 
    I've been looking over the BlazeDS tutorial (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/spring_blazeds_testdrive.html) and it seems rather helpful, but I could use some help in how to make a connection to a mysql database on an external server-- where does the connection info go, user name, password, etc. 
    In a nutshell, the application I am to design would need to be able to go out to a database to first verify user credentials, then to upload csv files and store the data into a database, and finally allow users to retrieve the data in datagirds and display in basic bar charts.  Thanks to the training, I have a good understanding on using the datagrid, but the connecting to an external database is where I'm having trouble. 
    Also, I have seen a flex webpage where data is displayed in a chart and the user can export the chart as a jpg or export the input data to a csv file.  Is anyone familiar with this capability?
    Thanks for your help-- I am excited to learn all there is to know about Flex!

    I would you should read the following link completely.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_hibernate.html
    You need to create an Client/Server-application with 3-tiers client, application server (Java/Hibernate/Spring) and database server (MySQL for example).
    Just buy a book over Flex and Java and read it.
