Thanks

njb,
Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel

Hi,
When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
Thanks

On the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.
Help is needed and much appreciated

JRE 6 freeze browsers and Java Control Panel Applet stops working!

Hello,
this is the second time I got this problem with Java JRE 6 ! First one was a month or two ago:
I have Java JRE 6 update 20 installed on a Windows 7 64bit ultimate. It was working...much time ago...then i found my browser (firefox, google chrome or IE8) was freezing when I open java application or test pages. I tried uninstalling it, cleaning the system with Revo Uninstaller, or CCleaner or JavaRA and reinstalling with no luck. The other problem is the same that user Mass8 had (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5372196&start=15&tstart=0)
...my java control panel applet is not working and give me this:
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/df9b61008b5bf9de61a13d8bfa3ddad1.jpg
I tried disabling UAC, running JRE, starting Win7 in safe mode with network...but browser always freeze. It's not a true freeze, with CPU busy at 100% (cpu stays in idle) but it seems to wait for something. It's not a problem with video card driver on my machine, because I can start java control panel from command prompt...and without the noddraw switch, using this command:
javaw -Xbootclasspath/a:..\lib\deploy.jar -Duser.home="%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel
This was the description of my first time.....then I replaced my system with an Acronis image...and I used the system for sometimes....and Java was working until 3-4 days ago! So I did another image of the system with all things working.
Then this morning...I tried the java test page.....and surprise! It's not working anymore!
In these days I think I only disabled UAC and Account virtualization....maybe JAVA saves things there...and then when I disabled UAC (Windows7 deleted those folders and files) it can't find there anymore???? Who can help me?
I don't want to restore my image every month!
My system is 100% virus free and from the last image restoration I didn't visit suspicious sites and so on....I have antivirus and antispyware software...all is perfectly CLEAN. Any ideas or things to try?

I'm beginning to think it's something related to Hybernation after using JAVA....I'm using it very often...and if I use it...and I suspect Java is KO...i try control panel and it doesn't works....then I try with browser and it freeze (or keep waiting...and i can only force to close it)
THEN,
when I reboot my system I get this window
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/09501eb799c165bb25ece8fd3261e41c.jpg
suggesting me to rename the folder C:\Program in C:\Program1 ...and if i don't rename it...java will never work...instead if I allow it...Windows will fix it!......This until...the next hybernation....:(....
try to replicate this...maybe I found where is the problem..

Windows Control Panel Crashing

Hi,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, since the latest version of Flash Player, a new icon has appeared in my Control Panel, FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl is the file name. Since this update, my Windows Control Panel will continally crash. if I rename FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl to oprevent it from loading with the Windows Control Panel, then there are no crashes? Is this a known issue?

Hi,
I open the Control Panel, and as I move the mouse it crashes, error message: (as stated in my first post if i rename the cpl file to prevent the Flash icon from appearing in the Control Panel, then there are no crashes)
This is the error that is reported in Event Viewer

This is after the Windows Control Panel Crashes.
I run the Flash uninstaller, downloaded flash again, and the same crash occurs. I also have a different versdion of Flash installed for Steam, this does not use the Internet Explorer version.

Why do I have two versions of Firefox in my Windows Control Panel? (again)

hello,
Updating from Firefox 18.0.1 to 18.0.2 of Firefox has not removed the Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1 entry from the Windows Control Panel list of installed programs.
How could I fix that?
thanks.

It is possible that you only see orphaned Firefox entries in add and remove programs.<br />
This can happen if the Firefox updater didn't remove the entry of the previous version, but merely added an entry for the new version.<br />
If you are comfortable with the registry editor then you can remove Firefox entries that no longer apply in this registry key.
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (????)
If you have a 64 bit Windows version then inspect this key:
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox

Despite having the File Associations in both Windows Control Panel and Firefox Options set to Windows Media Player for *.mwv files Firefox tries to open them with Foxit pdf Reader, which bombs out - what now?

Making this entry from my Linux computer which handles the situation correctly.The real situation involves only a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP.

I used this link for tiff http://www.nrl.navy.mil/content.php?P=IMAGES
QT was opening the tiff files. When going into the QT control panel Browser>Mime settings>Images-Still image files I was able to uncheck tiff, which held. I was also able to uncheck all the file types under File Types tab(Images-Still image files) in the QT control panel. However the preference would not hold. Went into Start>Set Program Access and Defaults that also was of no help.
The only way I was able to get QT to release the tiff's from the website I posted was to go into the Folder Options control panel for File Types and change the tif & tiff from QT picture viewer to windows picture and fax viewer.
So not sure why the QT control panel will not respond, there are other file types in the Folder options control panel on this computer other than tiff's that are still associated to QT, but didn't try changing them, perhaps that needs to be done?
Good post I didn't realize this before reading your post, if I come across anything further I'll post back.

Windows control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC Products.

한글(Korean) :
1년 조금 넘게 어도비 CC 정품을 이용해오고 있습니다.
아시다시피 어도비 CC는 어도비 제품들을 원하는대로 다운로드할 수 있잖아요,
저도 많은 제품들을 다운로드해서 쓰고 있었는데 안쓰는 제품들이 몇개 생겨서 제거하려고 합니다.
그런데 제어판에서는 어도비 CC 제품들(포토샵, 애프터이펙트, 오디션 등등)이 뜨질 않네요.
제어판에서 이 제품들을 인식을 못하는거 같은데, 어도비에 전화해보니 C드라이브 들어가서
폴더를 지우라고 하는데, 그냥 제어판이 인식하게 할 수는 없을까요?
English :
I have used Adobe CC products for almost a year.
As you know, I can download any adobe products what I want through it.
I was using a lot of Adobe products, but now, there are some products
that I won't use anymore. So I'm going to delete them.
But windows' control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC products(like Photoshop, After Effects, Etc..).
So I called to Adobe Korea customer center. They told me that I can go into C drive and delete folders of Adobe products.
This is not the answer what I exactly want. I want to make the control panel can recognize Adobe CC products.
What should I do?

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?

Can't log in using windows control panel

Hello,
I have a Mac with a virtual machine where I run Windows Vista. In Lion, iCloud is working fine but in Windows (where I use Outlook) the iCloud login screen is frozen (seems like trying to validate the username) without any progress.
I know it's not an issue of wrong iCloud username because it works ok in my iPhone and in Lion.
I have tried uninstalling an reinstalling the iCloud Windows control panel and iTunes and still doesn't work.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I found out the solution.
I previously had uninstalled MobileMe Control panel, what solved it was installing again MobileMe Control panel, a new one available for download, which includes the funcionallity to migrate to iCloud.
Once done that it works ok.

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Hi Robbie,
The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

Disable or not install control panel applet

I beleive since 10.3 the control panel applet has been installed by default. Is there a way to install flash but not the applet? or Install flash and have the options within it disabled?
I understand that the mms.cfg overides what is done within the applet but it does lead to some confusion with users when they set something and it doesnt work as we as Admins have disabled it in the MMS.cfg.

in FP 11, mms.cfg settings should be reflected in the UI of the Native Control Panel. unfortunately, there is a known bug that doesn't reflect admin changes. it is resolved in an upcoming release, Anza. please refer to: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2995088
short story:
mms.cfg files saved as UTF-8 are not reflected in the Native Control Panel
work around:
save mms.cfg as ANSI
resolution:
issue will be resolved in the next flash player release, 11.1 Anza...

My nvidia control panel dissapeared from mac pro

My nvidia control panel dissapeared from early 2008 mac pro running 10.6.7 osx snow leopard with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card.I have tried reinstalling the driver from the nvidia website,time machine,and software updates.Nothing seems to bring it back. Solutions anyone?

Hi Jack,
Yes the GT120 will work with the DVI port but the mini-displayport will not function on the card so you'll be limited to using one display. The handy thing with adding a GT120 to a 2008 Xserve is you can use it for compressor if you want to, to render videos.

I've just moved from PC to Mac, with my PC i and using Vmware Player I used to work on 2 Virtual M/C both on 2 external drives, one Windows Server 2000 as operating system and the sec. WindowsXP, is their a way to open these m/c on my mac

I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

itunes 11.1.3.8 shows a speaker icon in front of the seclection but it is not playing. the progress bar does not move. there are speakers attached to the system and all other programs do profuce an audio output.

Go to the Edit -> Preferences-> Playback
In The bottom section of the page click the drop down menu by Play Audio Using and select Windows Audio Session or something other than "Direct sound" or whatever it displays. Click Okay. This worked for me! I hope it works for you too!
Thanks,
