Question about Windows 8 to 8.1 upgrade

Satellite P55-A5312 with pre-installed Windows 8
My son had upgraded to Windows 8.1 but I'm not sure it was done correctly so I reset the PC to Windows 8 from the Recovery Partition to start over. Looking at the upgrade instructions:
http://support.toshiba.com/sscontent?contentId=4003162
it says to uninstall the following:
Uninstall Component List
1. AMD Display Driver (ONLY required on Model Part Numbers beginning with PSD24U, PSD24M , PSD24P)
2. Intel Proset
3. Intel Wireless Display
4. Nvidia GE Force GTxxxx (includes all drivers that begin with Nvidia GE Force GT)
5. Realtek Audio driver
6. Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver Package
7. Realtek WLAN Driver
8. TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
The only items I seem to have are related to Proset and Wireless. See attached, which shows:
Intel PROSet/Wireless Software
a. Is that the same as 2 and 3 in the list? If so, I don't understand how I can connect to the internet to download after un-installing wireless support.
b. Is there a non-stated implication that we MUST use a wired internet connection to complete the upgrade process?
c. Assumig a and b are true, does the Windows 8.1 upgrade re-install wireless support?

Yes - uninstall all that apply, could not see the rest of your programs check for Realtek audio, Realtek wireless lan and the Toshiba pc health monitor.
Yes - you will need to update with ethernet line connected.
Yes - Toshiba service station should show the updates needed after the W 8.1 upgrade. If not you can download and install them manually.
Your support page is here - http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200006797
Select the drivers tab then down on left select the W 8.1 64 bit to narrow down the correct drivers.
As the instructions indicate install all the updates on the Toshiba service station before and after the W 8.1 update.

Question about Windows 7 on MBP! Please help! :(

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to check out my problem. Basically, I'm getting a MBP soonish (yes, I'll be waiting for the coming update). I'm a student (17 years old), and have used Windows my entire life - so on my MBP I definitely won't be using the Mac OS, I just can't be bothered adapting myself to an entire new OS. Anyway, here are my questions:
1) If I solely use Windows 7, is it still possible to alter some of the physical options of the MBP? (e.g. the trackpad, touch sensetive or pressing to click, two finger click = right click or not, and so on).
2) Will the trackpad gestures still work, even though I will be using Windows 7?
3) I am aware that Apple products sometimes get Firmware updates. Will a popup still appear if I am using Windows 7? If not, where can I see/obtain the Firmware update?
4) I'm not very tech savvy about Mac OS, but, when I get my MBP and the IT guy installs Windows 7, will the Mac OS still be 'on' the laptop? Or will it ONLY be Windows 7? Should I bother about having the Mac OS on it, even though I will never use it?
Thanks so much for your help everyone! I really really appreciate it.
Regards,
Brad.

What you're essentially looking to do is replace the engine of a Ferrari with a diesel lawn tractor engine (nothing against diesels, the new ones are excellent). Windows is slow and clunky and always gets in your way with constant interruptions and maintenance that always has to be done. I'm a student too (20 yrs old) and there is absolutely only one reason to run Windows and that is for games. Everything else can be accomplished much more easily under Mac OS X.
So the obvious question that I have is... why would you want to run Windows when you pay a small premium for the Mac hardware? You've already said you don't want to be bothered to adapt yourself to anything new and you think that you're not "tech savvy" enough to switch. In reality, you are the perfect person to switch from Windows to OS X. My girlfriend was just like you. Didn't initially have any interest in changing platforms, and wasn't that tech savvy (but wasn't a luddite either, for sure). I convinced her to get a Mac largely with the premise that Windows could be installed if she didn't like OS X. And she loved the hardware. So she got the Macbook, first night, and played around with it a bit. I came over the next day to install Windows and she told me she had no need for it and didn't want it at all. She has never used Windows at all since then. It took her one night to "adapt" herself to OS X and she said herself that she's more productive and happier using a computer since switching. And I know dozens more people exactly like this. Not only will you be the cool kid running OS X instead of clunky old Windows, you'll be more productive and happier too. How can you lose?
Anyway, if you have a specific app to run in Windows you can use Boot Camp. Boot Camp installs Windoze directly onto a separate partition on the hard drive. You can then use the Alt (Option) key to toggle between 'Doze and OS X at startup. Windows will run at full native speed, and will use the dedicated graphics chip in the MBP (if you get a 15/17" model that has one). Windows will use more power and generate more heat than OS X. As a result, battery life on Windows is considerably less than OS X (talking 3-4 hours compared to 5-6, probably).
If you do decide to go ahead with Windoze only (for some insane reason) then you will need to keep OS X around if you ever want firmware updates. Windows will never remind you of them, so you'll want to keep an eye on Software Update in OS X every month or so. The trackpad gestures will not work in Windows because Windows doesn't have trackpad gestures like OS X does. OS X is somewhere in the range of 6-8GB in size now, I think.
I say you should +at least+ give OS X a chance. Use it for a couple days. Ask questions if you have any. If you hate it after that, then go ahead and use Windows. But at least you'll know you tried something different. Learning new things (that are better than existing ways) is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. There is absolutely no reason not to be constantly learning and growing. To willingly shut yourself off from that is a shame, IMHO.

Some question about windows 7 and mini laptop

hi
i glad that i found this forum, i have the mini HP laptop 110 and i have some question
(i have intel atom 1.66 , 2G memory and windows 7 starter)
1. if i'll instal the windows 7 pro - is my performance will be smaller ?
2. what is the most light anti-virus that recommended for this mini laptop ?
3. what is the most light browser that recommended for this mini laptop ?
thank's in advance

Windows 7 is Windows 7 as far as the resources it consumes. So feel free to upgrade to 7 Pro and your performance should not take a hit. For light antivirus I recommend Avira. It is what I have on my own netbook. Lastly a good light browser is Opera.

[Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear friends,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
[11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
Notes:
* Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
Thanks,

Question about Windows repair installation

Hello,
I have searched through the forum, but am still a little confused as to the use of expert recovery mode on my Toshiba recovery CD.
I cannot boot Windows at all. I haven't backed up any of my data (foolish!).
I currently have a single partition.
Is it possible to create a second partition using expert recovery mode, and re-load Windows to that. Would this only format one partition, allowing me to subsequently retrieve files from the first partition?
Or will this format the whole drive, load Windows, and then create the partitions?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fitz.

Hello Fitz
Expert mode allows you to do two things:
1. Install OS on already persisting partition (if the HDD has already two of them)
2. Create own partition (in this case the whole content will be erased)
Please try to boot up using SAFE mode (press F60). If this doesnt help you can do the follow to save your data:
1. Connect the HDD to other PC as external device (using USB HDD box)
the HDD should be recognized automatically and you can copy all your data to other PC HDD
2. You can try to use Partition Magic tool. Start it using external FDD and create two partitions. After doing this start your notebook with start disk and try to copy all the data to second partition.
Detailed explanation about expert mode installation and how to create own partition you can find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4462&messageID=14518

A Question about Windows games with boot camp and system requirements

I don't plan to play many games on my Mac, but after seeing what can be done with it, I've been entertaining the idea of picking up a Windows game or 2 to play in Boot Camp (considering picking up a XP PRO with SP2 for this).
My question is about the listed systed system requirements and how they might apply to my Mac Pro. I have a dual 2.26.
As a specific example, I was looking at the game Fallout 3. The box lists a 2.4ghz processor required but I've read on this forum about people running it great with less on their Mac.
So I was wondering what I would need to consider when looking at those requirements or if games in that range do indeed run well...

Thanks Kap, you're always helpful.
That's exactly what I was wondering. How the requirement on the box applied to having an 8 core at a lower clock speed.
I was looking at XP home at amazon and newegg, but haven't been able to tell if they are 64 or 32 (unless that means just install that version from the disc).
It's nothing pressing, just something I was entertaining for now.

Question about windows theme and viewing webpages

I all, I am new here, I have had my laptop for about 8 mths, but it was packed away for about 6mths, so it has only really had 3 mths of use and that was 99% for watching movies as this was my backup laptop (my girlfriends, which was never used)...
Okay I just got my laptop back out of storage and started using it again as I want to make this my main work computer now, it is a Satellite A100 Series. Running Win XP Pro SP2. Okay, now i have been using it for about 1 week now, and it is a fantastic computer, expecially the finger swipe feature, I am usually a XP Home Edition person, but i am making do with Pro, just have not had all the experience with it..
Now here is the problem, and this has always been the problem since purchased, when we first bought this and connected to the internet with IE7 the fonts were massive, i figured how to fix this in the display settings after a few hours playing around, and also noticed the webpages if there was a background image it does not display... (this week I also found this is the same for any application on the PC that uses a webpage like set-up, or something, just sectain things... such as i open the Security Center in the control panel and the whole thing is white background, and any background images are not there (making it white), and even the round corners that are background images do not show up, and comparing to my other computer, there should be green and red background colours etc.
Also with Windows Media Player the actual buttons should be purple and black in WMP11, and these have like a html style white background over the buttons with links on them at the top and the play, stop etc buttons have a back outer and the inside is white...
basically what i am saying is it is not showing up CSS style WC3 content on some pages and apps on the laptop, and as for webpages they are exactly the same, I have tried IE7, FireFox, Avant Browser, and all the same, the only one that shows pages almost like it should is Opera 9.2, but I really need to fix this problem... it is obioussly something simple to do with display, or settings but i have literally tried every simgle different way of doing things in the last week, tried everything in the control panel, all the Toshiba toools, and no results.
I am not a newbie or anything either, i just cant get this fixed, i cant even think of a setting that would make this occur let alone trying to fix it... I have all recent Windows Updates (though like i said, it has been doing this since the first day of purchase)...
If i could post a screenhot here I would show you... what webpages look like in IE7 and FireFox and Avant (the only difference is Internet Explorer background of the pages is mainly grey and firefox is white, avant is grey also.)
one more issue, when i was messing around with the settings in the control panel, Under Performace I changed it to something like "make display best for performace" rather than "Best for Display" , and this then made my control panel plain with a white background, and everything is not how i am used to it, even the categories are done for each section , they are just all grouped there, and my Windows Home on my other laptop is set to this, but it atleast has a sidebar on the left with a button to change back...
now i am at a loss to find the Performace button, as it is there no longer, and I want to change it back to "display best for the display" not the persomance... so if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know... i took a screenshot of my Control Panel also.. and it is not bare, I am using the Windows Zune theme (the black buttons and backgrounds etc), so it used to be a dark grey background with a statusbar on the side with all links and details just like for folders etc... so yeah this is another thing i want to fix.
Also i dont have the CD anymore to repair it, not that i think it needs it, but i do have a standard out of the box Win Xp Pro disc, i have been seriusosly doing a fresh install, but i know i will lose all the toshiba add-ons and extras it came with, so thats the only reason i have not, as it has Protector Suite QL which i would have to pay for if doing a clean install, and i really dont want to do that as there is obviously something i am missing, its as simple as that, there is nothing wrong with the system its just not configured correctly.
Here are some screenshots of how I see webpages, my Security Center Page, and my Control Panel since i messed it up doing 'Make best for performace' and the display turned to basic white background and half the stuff in the Control Panel is now missing, it was setup in categories previous... ahhhhh, when i try and fix the original problem i made another..
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_01-1.jpg
{This is the Security Center Screen when i click from the Control Panel, this was before i made it bland)
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_02Sep3021.54.jpg
( this is now my control panel once i went into 'Premformance and Display" (i think. it was definately performace in the category name though) .. and i changed a setting to do with performance and display making it use less resources.. now i cant change it back, as the performace button does not exist anymore :( )
Thanks for reading, and I sure hope someone out there can help me cos i would hate to have to do a whole new install over something as small as this, there is not many add-on programs on my laptop, as i said, it has probably beeen used 20 times ever, and mostly to watch movies until 1 week ago where it was sitting in storage for 6mths,,
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have tried all Internet Options, all Display Options, all variations , i need something specific, it is not only effecting the internet, but overall programs with html style links, etc and definately CSS style sheets and the background image feature in html code.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay
Very impressive posting! As I can see after 4 days nobody wrote anything to give you the solution for your problem. I have read your posting very carefully and must say that it was not easy to understand your problem exactly (maybe because English language is not my mother tongue).
I know very well that new OS installation is latest and radical solution but I recommend you to check some Microsoft WXP forums because described issue is, in my opinion, more for OS forums than for Toshiba forum.
If you will post the same in Microsoft forum please post the link and we can follow the discussion there.
I wish you good luck and hopefully you will find answers soon.

I want to put the hard disk drive in the ultrabay for storage and a crucial m4 7mm solid state drive
(http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148530&nm_mc=OTC-sho6b0tCA&cm_mmc=OTC-sho6b0...)
in the main bay as a boot drive and for programs
(i would get the samsung 830 7mm 256gb ssd, but there is only one online store that sells it in canada and it is a bit more expensive)
When installing the hard drive in the ultrabay, it needs the hard drive caddy.
Lenovo sells an official one, but there is also one from NewModeUS, according to various forum posts apparently works better and is slightly cheaper
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&cPath=2_7&products_id=400
I talked to a tech on the phone and he said that the 500gb will come with some rubber rails, but i will need more for the SSD
Is it also possible to install a 9.5mm SSD into the main bay without rails?
If not, can someone link me to the rails on the lenovo site? i rather not have to deal with Ebay even if it is a few bucks more...
i also want to upgrade from the default 4gb of ram already in the laptop by removing the original and replacing with new modules to use dual channel mode at 1600mhz
Crucial says on their website both of these are compatible
1.35v
1600mhz
16gb (8gb x 2) 173$
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=03E9F8D4A5CA7304
8gb (4gb x 2) 53$
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=F985A7F2A5CA7304
i haven't decided if i will need 16gb of ram for the coding I will do once i start my CS degree in the fall, but i assume if I am using lots of Virtual machines or what not to run Linux side by side with Windows, (that's possible right?) it might gobble up the GB's, i also might experiment with ram disks to see how those work...
also:
any tips on reinstalling operating system on SSD so i retain the lenovo utilities that came on the factory image on the HDD,
I know you can download most of them from lenovo to install, but are there any that are only from the factory image?
should i make a clean install or make disc image?
Is there anything that I missed that might not make these upgrades go as smoothly as possible?
any info is appreciated

I have a machine with essentially the same specs, except I have 16GB of ram. I'd say get the RAM. 16GB makes my machine run like a dream. i'm in engineering, so I run AutoCAD and other similar applications. If you do use VM's, then you will want the extra memory as well. The machine can run linux, but with the loss of the Optimus, as it is not supported well. Do a clean install, but make the Recovery dvds first. also go to the root of the hard drive and back up the SWTOOLS and swshare folders. those contain all of the preloaded software. I always do a clean install when I get a new machine. Everything else looks good.

Questions about Windows services on a OS X 10.3 server

Hi! I'm wanting to configure an OS X 10.3 server to participate in a Windows workgroup so I can share a directory on the server that the Windows machine can use as a backup drive, of sorts. I've got only ONE Windows box in an all-Mac network. The ultimate goal is to provide an automated backup solution for the Windows machine. I would like the Windows user to copy their files to the server so the scheduled Backup running on the server will backup their files, along with the rest of the files that are backed up to iDisk.
So, I'm thinking I can use the Windows service on the OS X server to provide the backup directory/folder the Windows machine will map to a local windows drive, making it easy to copy files to the target backup area.
I've got AFP, OpenDirectory (I think), and Windows service as the only services running on the OS X server. I've got the Windows service setup as a standalone server with the correct workgroup name and the Windows machine is setup with the same workgroup as the server. The Windows machine is running Windows XP.
I've got the Windows service setup to act as the workgroup browse master and I do NOT have WINS enabled.
Now for my questions:
When I view the workgroup on the server in the "Network" area of Finder, I see nothing. When I view the workgroup on the Windows machine, I only see the Windows machine. On the server, I turned on the Windows service log and noticed only SMBD was starting, not NMBD. I presume this is why the server can't "see" the Windows machine and vice-versa, correct?
I've read the following threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2358362&#2358362
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4132419&#4132419
and it looks like I need to create an account for the Windows user on the OS X server and I'm thinking I need to use the "Workgroup Manager" for that, right?
There are no passwords for the Windows accounts that would be connecting to the same backup area on the server. Will I be able to create accounts without passwords on the server for these users or will I be required to specify a password for when the Windows machine connects to the server?
This is my first time configuring an OS X server like this so please excuse my elementary questions.
Thanks!
Peace...

You need to make sure the shortname in workgroup manager is the same as the logon name when you create the drive on the PC.
Personally i'd do it all over IP. On the PC goto Run, and type \\ip address of server\sharename. It should then ask for a UN/PW, this is what you've entered into workgroup manager, and should be the shortname.
That should then give you the drive.
To map it so its always there when they log-in, goto my computer and map network drive, making sure you click the link that says 'use a different account to connect'

[Urgent] Some questions about OID/OSSO 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear all,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of OID/OSSO 10g to 11g for a customer. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1.     Whether the ‘10g DIP profiles’ will be still available after the OID 11g upgrade? Currently there are some sync of AD<->OID and DB->OID.
2.     Whether the ‘WNA’ function will still work after the upgrade?
3.     Is there a big change of OID API from 10g to 11g? If so, I think a big effort maybe on application modification.
4.     I found that there is a OAM Basic version for OSSO 10g upgrade. So if this OAM Basic will migrate the OSSO configuration (like external application) automatically, or it must be re-configed after the upgrade?
5.     Currently customer config OID 10g as BPEL/ESB’s identity store. So does BPEL/ESB 10g is certificated with OID 11g also? I didn’t find the certification so far.
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

Question about Windows MultiPoint Server with VNC

Hello,
I work in a research lab and our scientists run a lot of image processing simulations with MATLAB. We were wondering about purchasing a single powerful workstation computer and setting it up such that up to 3 to 4 users could access the computer
remotely at any time and run simulations using the shared resources, but without interfering with each others' sessions. I just wanted to make sure that this was feasible and clarify how to go about setting it up. I'm guessing I would install
Windows MultiPoint Server on the computer, create 3 to 4 log on instances or users with unique IPs, install MATLAB and a VNC client for each instance, and then users would be able to log onto each instance as if they were independent computers? Finally, is
there any way for Windows to automatically allocate remote users to unused instances--for example, if I try to connect to an instance, Windows will automatically assign me to the next free instance?
Thanks!
Michael

Question about Windows Media plugin(s) for MBP

I like to listen to baseball games via Gameday Audio at MLB.com; however, it seems that I am unable to do so using my MacBook Pro because their service requires a Windows Media Player plugin for your web browser, and the WMP installer does not install one.
I tried installing Flip4Mac, but that's not universal yet, so I've come up empty. Any other suggestions as to how I can work around this problem and listen to the games?
Thanks in advance,

I can't get Gameday Audio to play on my MacBook Pro either. I've intalled the Flip4Mac patch (via Rosetta); the Flash plugin; Windows Media Player; Firefox for Intel-based Macs. I've tried opening Safari in Rosetta. I've had some success playing free video and audio from Major League Baseball in both Safari and Firefox. But whenever I log into the subscription audio service, it fails. Firefox tells me, "Additional plugins are required" but, when I agree to install them, it informs me that "no suitable plugins were found." For its part, Safari says, "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?" I do try, but WMP is never up to the task: the rainbow spinner goes round and round and Force Quit confirms that WMP is "not responding." I'm invariably reduced to pulling out my old computer to hear the game. I've talked to MLB about this, and suspect that their stock advice for Mac users does not yet take into account Intel-based Macs. Do I have to wait on Flip4Mac to produce a patch specifically for Intel-based Macs. Can anyone recommend anything else?

Security scanning - question about Windows service

Hello,
As part of our internal security requirements all new servers are being scanned by a Nessus engine before being released to production. My two new Lync FE servers have been tagged with having a high-level vulnerability. See below. It calls
out the Windows Identity Foundation service as having an 'unquoted service path' in the registry.
Before I comply with trying to 'fix' this 'vulnerability', I was wondering if anyone else runs similar internal security...and if so, have you successfully 'fixed' something like this. I'm a little reluctant to go mucking about in the registry to modify
this 'service path' to include quotes.
Thanks in advance for any advice/replies. vulnerability data below:
445/tcp 63155 - Microsoft Windows Unquoted Service Path Enumeration [-/+] Synopsis The remote Windows host has at least one service installed that uses an unquoted service
path.
Description
The remote Windows host has at least one service installed that uses an unquoted service path, which contains at least one whitespace. A local attacker could gain elevated
privileges by inserting an executable file in the path of the affected service.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
This can be a false alarm from the Nessus product. We can reinstall WIF 3.5 to see if the issue can be fixed. We can also try contacting the manufacturer/support of the Nessus product regarding this issue.
Regards
Kevin

OK, dumb P6N question about Windows 98 - yes you heard that right :)

"NVIDIA nForce Series boards DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME"
The above is a direct quote from the P6N Platinum's home page. Believe it or not, I would like to have a dual boot operation goin on for my kids box (haven't built it yet), involving 98 & XP. That's the currenbt setup on their ancient and slowly dying Dell. Does the above quote mean that you can't install/properly run 98 on a 650i board, or just that they don't "support" it, ala Microsoft? If its the latter, I'll just buy another MSI P6N SLI-FI for my kids box, and dual boot. If not, I'll be forced to back up a couple generations 'cause I want 2 native IDE ports, and no JMicron garbage (ala P965), probably a 945 chipset.
TIA!!

Edge1,
To allow Win98 to boot up normally I had to boot into Safe Mode and run msconfig. Clicked the Advanced button and checked to box to force compatibility mode for the hard drives. (There is probably a command line option for the setup program that will force this during install --- would make the install a lot smoother...) This allows Win98 to boot normally, but there are a lot of warnings for unsupported hardware in the Device Manager.
I think you could probably get a PCI video card to work, not sure about a PCI-E card. Not to mention the fact that you'd probably have to install a Win98 sound card and network card (if needed). It's running in standard VGA 640x480 16 color mode on my PCI-E NVidia 6800GS card. Trying to get the older hardware to work decently with XP could be problematic too.
For just running general Win98 apps it would probably work. Oh, and it shuts down so fast... I barely lifted my finger from clicking the mouse and the computer was off. If only Vista and XP would shut down that fast.
I have tried DOSBox and it seems to support most DOS games pretty well if you have a fairly fast system (2.0GHz+). If you have older Win98 DirectX games, those may or may not work correctly in XP.
If it were me, I'd try all the Win98 games in XP and see what works and what doesn't; use DOSBox for any DOS games. Another option, (if the new computer is fast enough, has enough memory and the games aren't too DirectX intensive) would be to install Win98 in a Virtual Machine (like Microsoft's free Virtual PC 2007) and trying them that way.

Questions about Windows App Builder

Is there an additional charge, under a Professional account, for building a Windows app?
About how long does it take from submitting the folio to receiving the file to upload?
Does a new app need to be built each time I add a new folio to a multi-folio app?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
There is no additional charge for a Windows app if you are making the Windows version of a title you previously created on iOS and/or Android. I usually turn around custom build requests within a couple of hours if I receive them during business hours. At most it takes 24 hours.
Just like on iOS and Android there is no need to update the app when you publish new folios. You just publish the folio and it is available instantly.
