Software doesn't seem to work in Bootcamp partition

I recently created a 32GB Bootcamp partition (FAT 32) and installed Win XP Pro SP2 in it. The Windows installation completed successfully.
After this I installed Palm Desktop 4.6.2 to enable me to use my Palm Treo 650 handheld and sync it with the computer. I also installed Handbase Pro 4.0 because I have Handbase databases on my handheld. When I tried to sync, it gave me an error saying "Unknown USB device". The attempt to sync also caused the Palm Desktop software to hang. After I closed the application and tried to restart it, it refused to start saying "Palm Desktop has encountered an Unknown error.......". Thinking that the application software had been somehow corrupted I thought I would do a re-install. However, when I try to uninstall Palm Desktop it refuses to uninstall it saying "Error 1404. Could not delete key \Software\Classes\.prc. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your service personnel".
In addition to this, I installed McAfee Anti-Virus Enterprise 8.5, thinking that the Windows partition would be more vulnerable to viruses. The install went smoothly but the application hung after going halfway through the Update process, specifically when it was downloading the latest .dat files.
Internet Explorer seems to be working but intermittently gives errors when downloading files.
Finally although I set the Mac partition to be the default startup disk, using the Boot Camp Control panel, the computer kept on starting up in the Windows partition until I pressed the Option key during a Restart.
I have not yet installed other software in Windows, because there seem to be myriad problems using the software I already have.
I would be very grateful for pointers regarding solutions to these problems. I think it would be relevant to point out that I have recently shifted to a Mac form a PC and am not very familiar with the Mac environment. Are these sort of problems common with Bootcamp?
Thank you in advance.

First and foremost, XP SP2 is EOL on security updates. If possible I would strongly recommend Windows 7 instead.
When you install XP, or Windows, fully upgrade first, then add Apple drivers, get it working fine. They say that 15 minutes is enough time to compromise a default XP install, and used as a "honey pot" to test what malware is circulating.
I don't know about McAfee (I guess Google must) but for now or next time, try with just MS Security Essentials, free and gets high marks, it works.
There are probably a lot of things to learn on a daily basis.
But make sure what you install is current and compatible. And have backups and restore points so you can go back to earlier stable system state.
And yes seems like the Windows partition or OS is not functional.

    Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. 
    I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page.  Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
    It's always the second search that is problematic.
    I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
    I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem.  The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups".  Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
    Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

    Since I've installed FireFox 4.0.1 the saving of tabs doesn't seem to work anymore. When I press exit I only receive the notification "are you sure you want to close x tabs?". When firefox or my computer crashes the tabs are saved, but when I try to exit myself I can't. Can someone tell me how to solve this?

    Hi, I have a similar problem. When playing music, the screensaver has stopped working. Instead all I get is a white screen. I have checked all the settings and they are ok. The photos show and the albums show will work. But as soon as I switch back to slideshow I get the white screen back. It is even like this in 'Preview'.
    Have you solved the problem now. If so, how?
    Anyone else affected? I took a new software update to the Apple TV two days ago. Could this be the problem?
    all advice welcome

  • Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

    I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
    We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE].  This works very well when in Outlook.  It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office.  The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely.  We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.

  • Bridge Offset Nulling Doesn't Seem to Work With SCC-SG24

    Does anyone know if the DAQmx "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi works with the SCC-SG24 modules?  We have used our NI-9237 module in the past to acquire dual-channel load cell (thrust & torque) measurements, and calling that vi does a fine job of zeroing out the values before applying the load.  However, it doesn't seem to work when we try to take the same measurements using an SCC-SG24 module.
    We are able to zero the values manually, by using the nulling resistors and potentiometers in the SCC-SG24.  But, whether the nulling resistors are installed or not, we are not able to zero the values using the "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi.  Running that vi does induce a significant offset in the values, but it is not the correct offset needed to bring the values to zero.  For example, with no load applied, a torque reading before running the vi may be +1090 in-lbs, and be "zeroed" to -465 in-lbs after running the vi.  Running the vi multiple times (to check repeatability) always brings us back to approximately -465 in-lbs.
    An additional issue (not sure if it's related or not) is that if we try to run this vi to offset just one of the channels in the task (such as just thrust, but not torque) it will still induce a small offset in the other channel, which doesn't seem right.
    I guess I'm not clear on whether the subject vi is performing an operation on the hardware, the software, or both, so I'm not sure whether the SCC-SG24 modules may not be compatible with this vi?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello Dhruser1,
    I think that the DAQmx Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration should work for the SCC-SG24 module.  Take a look at this article:  Removing Large Initial Offset for Load Cell or Strain Measurements with SCXI-1520 or PXI-4220 in particular it mentions that using this VI in addition to the auto zero can introduce an offset.  If you're doing both these is likely the cause.
    Also, when you specify specific channels using the channels input are you also setting the "skip unsupported channels to false?  If not this may be why it affects other channels.
    I hope this helps, and if not please feel free to post back with an update after trying these things.
    Cheers,
    Brooks

    kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: BatchLimit=25You may be running into a bug in the Oracle 9.2 driver. That driverdoesn't
    reliably give update counts when using batching and prepared statement
    caching. By default, Kodo will turn off batching. You can manuallyenable
    batching by setting the BatchLimit on your DBDictionary, as you've done.If
    you do this, though, you may want to turn off prepared statement cachingby
    setting MaxCachedStatements to 0 (see

  • Port mapping doesn't seem to work - AEBS

    I have a dsl connection to an Alcatel SpeedTouch 530 modem, linked via ethernet cable to the WAN of my AEBS, which shares the connection to three Macs and 2 Win boxes. I want to connect to aMule and get a High-ID. In the wiki.amule.org FAQ it states that to achieve this, I must use port mapping behind a firewall, and map ports 4662 (TCP) and 4665 (UDP) to my machine (which, after reading http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607426&#607426, I have assigned to AirPort TCP/IP address 10.0.1.201, by the way).
    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, and I'm still getting the annoying 'low-ID' warnings on aMule.
    Following some advice on the aMule forum, I mapped port 80 and verified that the WebServer is accessible inside the wLan, if that's of any help.
    Thanks, people.

    Hi Tim, a couple of questions:
    1. If I go ahead and un-check the 'Distribute IP
    addresses' box, how will the three Macs and two Win
    computers on this wlan be affected? Do we still have
    access to each other's shares, and do we still access
    the internet through the AEBS?
    Once you turn off the 'distribute the IP address box' then your alcatel router will then distribute ip adresses and your macs and wintel boxes will still be on the same network and using the sharepoints will remain the same if you setup the shares using the bonjour names.
    I am making an assumption here in that your alcatel box is setup as a NAT router and not as a Bridge.
    2. Do I just give a static internal IP to my own
    powerbook, or to all the above computers?
    You only need to give a static ip to the mac your doing the port forwarding to. So that is the mac that is running the p2p software, infact you would do the same for any computer on the LAN that would run a server, such as a webserver, email server etc.
    Many thanks, as always.
    You are welcome.
    PS I had the impression that the basic idea of what I
    need to do to successfully map the ports to my Mac
    was to map ports from the DSL modem to the AEBS, then
    from AEBS to my Mac. Is this not right? Or is this
    another kind of solution to the same problem, albeit
    slightly more complicated to your suggestion above?
    If the alcatel modem was just behaving as a modem then you would use the AEBS as the NAT device and do the port mapping on that. However the Alcatel modem is also a router.
    If you setup up your alcatel router as a bridge you would then use the AEBS as your PPPoE client and then port mapping would work.

  • Wacom Tablet doesn't seem to work all of the time?

    I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, not more than a year old. I recently installed it onto my Macbook Pro and it worked fine, but when I unplugged it and came back to work with it later, it doesn't seem to work. The mouse doesn't respond to where I click on the pad.
    So, I've reinstalled this a couple of times and was able to make it work perfectly, but today when I went back to work in photoshop, it doesn't seem to be responding again.
    Does anyone have any tips? I know that Leopard likes you to eject USB devices instead of just pulling them out of the slot, but I don't see anywhere to eject it.
    Does anyone know what's up?

  • Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

    Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
