Problem installing XP Pro with SP2

I've tried installing Windows and failed. MY media has sp2 on it but I don't think it's patched to the OS. I can't get new media from Microsoft (via our E-open account). Is there any way around this limitation of the Mac Book Pro?
What are my options.

This forum is for troubleshooting the usage of Mac OS X, not Windows.
Your question is probably more appropriately asked in the Boot Camp forums:

Win XP Pro with SP2 all-in-one CD? Ok?

Deciding on my OS. Is XP Pro with SP2 all on the same CD and ok call or no?
My Setup is MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and AMD64 3000+.
WIN XP Pro with SP2 on the same CD? Or should I go with XP Pro alone and add SP2 later with the option to remove it if I have problems?
thanx in advance for any info,

Has anyone here actually had a problem which they traced to SP2 and as a result decided to remove SP2 or otherwise go back to an XP install without SP2?
No one that i've heard about if installing from slipstreamed sp2 cd.
The only ones with problems i've noticed is peps that have all kind of software and drivers installed pre sp2 upgrade .
And the upgrade goes bad caused by unidentified installed software and/or drivers that crash with the A64 combined with sp2 DEP technology.

Problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard

Greetings, I have a problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard. When I insert the HP software disc onto my iMac, and go to the HP website, it says:
"403" Ooops! Request forbidden...
Any possible solutions to this? Thanks for any feedback...

Snow Leopard Install problems on Macbook Pro with bad optical drive

I've tried this (refer to article below) to install Snow Leopard on a Macbook Pro with a bad optical drive, but I am not able to choose a wi-fi network, or install disk after startup. Is there something else I need to do?
To use Remote Install Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server:
Insert the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server Install Disc into the optical disc drive of the other computer.
If the other computer is a Mac, open /Applications/Utilities/Remote Install Mac OS X. On Windows, choose "Remote Install Mac OS X" from the Install Assistant.
Read the introduction and click Continue.
Choose the install disc you want to use, and click Continue.
Choose a network connection: AirPort, if you are using an AirPort network, or Ethernet, if the other computer is on an Ethernet network and you have an optional Apple USB Ethernet Adapter connecting your MacBook Air or Mac mini to the same network. Click Continue.
Restart your MacBook Air or Mac mini and hold down the Option key as it starts up, until you see a list of available startup disks.
Click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X.
If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, on your MacBook Air or Mac mini choose your AirPort network from the pop-up list.
If the network is secure, you will be prompted for a password. You can enter a private network name by choosing the ellipsis (...) and typing the name.
If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, when you see the AirPort status icon indicating signal strength, click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X.
You can now reinstall software, reset your password or run Disk Utility using instructions from the User's Guide.

Are you able to connect the two via Firewire cable? If so you can boot the MBP into Target Disk Mode. Then boot the other computer from the OS X installer disc. The installer should detect the hard drive of the MBP as an eligible target destination.
If you have a spare hard drive or at least 10 GBs of usable space on an external drive, then you can create a small 8 GB partition on that drive. Then clone the installer DVD to that partition using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can then boot the MBP from that partition using OPTION boot: Start the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the cloned DVD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external partition.
Source means the OS X Installer DVD.

Oracle Installation Problem on MacBook Pro with OS X

Im trying to install Oracle database 10g on my MacBook Pro with the latest OS version. At first I was a bit confused on which of the links I should download, so I downloaded the client release 1, it was a 300mb aprox download. When the download was over I couldnt run any of the files on my Mac, maybe its because they only run on Mac OS Server? maybe i got the wrong link?
FORGOT TO READ FIRST... SEEMS LIKE A COMMUN PROBLEM. SORRY

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

Problems Installing Acrobat Pro 9.0 after Hard Drive Crashed

I am having to reinstall my Creative Suite CS 5.0 on my MacBook Pro after the replacement SSD crached and I had to reinstall the suite back onto my orginal hard drive. Everything in the Creative Suite installs with no problem except Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Distiller. After it is copied, I open it and after a few seconds I am presenting with the following message...
"Suite Product Activation Needed - Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop)."
I have tried opening Photoshop first and then opening Acrobat, but I get the same message.
I am at a lose as to what to do.
Thanks for any help.

Matthew,
As you stated the CS5 version has a separate disk for Acrobat 9 and a separate serial number for Acrobat 9. Unfortunately the error message you are seeing is usually seen when launching Acrobat shipped with either CS4 or CS5.5 as the activation of the product is tied to first launching another suite product. Try removing the Inprogress key from the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Inprogress.
Of course only do this after backing up your registry.

It shuts down? Doesn't restart?
What is the difference in environment from the shop and your place?
Shutting down is normally - still - a sign of the processor turning itself off to protect itself. It's not alive long enough in BIOS, to make you see the temp?
I doubt you keep the computer in the cupboard, but it should anyway have about 50 cm free space in every direction (except downward of course).
Fredrik, The difference between home and shop, I keep the PC in a PC stand at ground level. I could improve its position slightly however, it has been sighted there for aroung eighteen months! The shop guy didn't seem overly concerned by the 49c temp, (he thought the fan was ok) which increased to around 56c with 1.5gb ram installed. When i tried to get into bios I was probably too late hitting delete key has it went to windows scan! After the problems I'd had last week with my original hard drive I didn't want to take any more risk's! Its seems obvious the cpu temp is affected with the extra ram, any ideas?
Thanks Pete

I've select from Oracle Universal Installer the default setings (Enterprise option and orcl database name) ;
In Computer Management-> Services I have only "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener"
service; The "Orcl" database services has been removed when I hit the "Abort" option (when I received ORA-12514 error);
Anyone can iluminate me with this problem?
A few months ago I've installed the 10g product version with no error!
Before I try to install 10g relese 2(beta), I read plenty of documentation about installing the new verision of 10g release 2, and I removed any trace from old 10g Oracle (directories, registry, environment variabile,etc)
The problem is that I can't install now even the old 10g version!
I've tried on another Pc (this PC, let's say "never hear before the word ORACLE" and have the same config winXP+sp2) ..and again the same ORA-12514 error appear!
Because I could install the old 10g on my T43 laptop a few mounths ago with no error, I think the only explanation is that the windows updates, which I 've upgrade my laptop in this time cause the Oracle instalation/create database services to crush!
Am I right...? what can I do? ... I realy need the ORACLE 10g to move on it, my old Oracle 9 databases, and continue my development work!
Thanks! Have a nice day!
XaM

I see your tnsnames.ora does not contain an entry for service_name srvdzt43 , so EZCONNECT (or hostname) resolution is used, this is possible because service_name and hostname are the same.
There's a known problem with EZCONNECT connections, if a connect string is provided, but no password (throws ORA-12514), maybe there's something like that in the DB creation scripts.
I recommend you add a proper connect string into tnsnames.ora and try again.

Can I install Windows xp with SP2 with Bootcamp?

I purchase Windows xp with SP2 and want to install in on my Mac with Bootcamp. I keep getting a message that "The installer disc could not be found." I allocated 100gb for windows but can't do anything, once this stops the install process.

You did not tell us what model/year computer nor what operating system you have. So here are the Bootcamp System Requirements. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

Problem installing flash player with I.E

Whilst surfing around the internet this morning I vaguely remember getting a message about needing an adobe flash player update shortly followed by my browser crashing. I didn't think much more of it but from this afternoon onwards I discovered that almost every website i visited would throw up a "This website wants to run the Following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Adobe System Incorporation'. If you trust the website and the following add-on and want to allow it to run, Click Here..." message at the top of the page.
I tried resetting Internet Explorer 8's security settings to default (i think they were default anyway) but this made no difference. I went to the adobe website to attempt to install the latest flash player but every time i went to the installation page it would refresh itself after about 5 seconds with a "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab" message at the top of the page. The page would then refresh again, this time ending up with a "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
In an effort to resolve these problems I uninstalled adobe flash player using the adobe uninstaller (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), rebooted my computer and attempted to install the flash player again. Once again I couldn't install it with my attempts again ending up at the "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
I just tried downloading the Firefox browser and have had no problem installing and using the adobe flash player so I am guessing the problem is some sort of issue between adobe and internet explorer- any solutions?
Thanks :-)

Hi, You didn't say what version of IE you are using, but most likely IE7 or IE8. It's some option in the browser I'm sure.
Since you ran the Uninstaller, and it Uninstalls all Flash Player from All browsers, try this Adobe Installer that you will download and SAVE to your Desktop. Then close all browsers, keep your Security setting on Medium for the Internet Zone, be sure to use the Administrator account(only one that has permission). Check your system tray (area by the clock) and disable any application that uses Flash, as Messenger services.
Run the Installer from your Desktop and when it is finished, be sure to Reboot(restart) your computer.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Then test here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Check your websites to see if they are working properly.

CS6 problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and Adobe CS6. After installing CS6, I noticed everything is pixelated. Any popup or lettering or words are pixelated and so are the brushed. I am not just talking about the fonts, but any word in the program. I use the program at school and everything is crisp and clear. Are my settings wrong or is there an update I need?

Its the creative suite w photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. it's like that on all of them but I'm specifically talking about photoshop.

CAC Card Problems on MacBook Pro with OS Lion 10.7.3

I bought a CAC Card Reader for my MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.3 and it doesn't work. The USB is recognizing that it is in there, but when i try and access the AKO website it doesn't work. I know I read on Mac Os Forge about Apple not sending the new OS Lion 10.7 with the smart card reader abilities. But there was also an update on the website for smart card services dated 19 Aug 2011, for OS 10.7. I downloaded it, installed it, and still have had no luck accessing my AKO website. Anyone else have this issue and/or has anyone been able to or have any ideas to figure out how to make it work? Thanks!
