Sol 8 Install on Dell Dim 8100 - Problem - ACPI?

I am having a mixture of the problems stated on this forum's earlier threads. The kit is as follows:
Solaris 8 for Intel 8.0 10/00 (2 CD's + 1 DCA floppy disk)
DELL Dimension 8100 - Intel Pentium 4 1.3GHz processor + 128MB NON ECC RDRAM + 40GB Ultra Hard Drive + 8xIDE DVD/CDRW Combo
On starting off with DCA, I see the warning that someone else has seen here:
     "ACPI tables not in reclaim memory"
and then on ignoring this and continuing (again similar to another poster's experience):
     "Resource conflict - Both devices are added
     NON ACPI device PNP0C01 Port 800-8DF .... etc
     ACPI device PNP0C01 .. etc"
Not easily put off, I continued. It asks for booting options, I say CD. It takes the default boot option and crashes.
I've managed to set up Solaris 8 and Win2000 dual boot on another (experimental lower spec) Dell Optiplex but not having any sort of luck on this.
There are no options for disabling ACPI support on the BIOS. I've wasted about 3 days trying various approaches all to no avail and now over to any experts out there - HELPPPPP !!!!

I am seeing the exact same thing on my Gateway PC (Pentium III @ 733 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB hard disk). During boot I get the same exact message (Warning: ACPI tables not in reclaim memory) and then during the device scanning I get the message about "resource conflict - both devices added". I get to the same point as you (starts to boot into Solaris) and then the system freezes. So, although I don't have an answer for you it appears that it is not DELL specific and not Pentium 4 specific. What BIOS do you have on your machine? Running the BIOS Wizzard (found on the Unicore site - http://www.unicore.com/) this is what my machine reports:
BIOS Date: 07/07/00
BIOS Type: American Megatrends licensed to Intel
BIOS ID: 51-2300-000000-00101111-030199-
Chipset: Intel 1130 rev 2
Superio: SMC LPC47M10x rev 1 found at port 2Eh

ACPI tables, Resource conflict, Dell Dimension 8100 - need Solaris 7

I just bought a new Dell Dimension 8100 and I am getting the same error as SunilPP, "ACPI tables not in reclaim memory" and "Recourse conflict, both devices are added NON ACPI device ...".
One of the solutions suggested on this forum is to install Solaris 7 and upgrade to 8. Does anyone know where I can download Solaris 7 for Intel?
Thanks,
mraible

Solaris 7 is not available on line. This can be purchased on-line at www.store.sun.com or 1-800-sun-0404.
BTW, I don't believe you can upgrade to Solaris 8. The ACPI support code was introduced in Solaris 8 -- part of DCA (Device Configuration
Assitant) code where it provides additional PCI device info if the
motherboard supports it. This WARNING: ACPI Tables Not In Reclaim
Memory is a bug yet to be fixed.
You could load Solaris 7 and wait for the fix, then load a new OS which
has the fix.

Dell Inspiron 8100 with W2K installed

Dear all:
I've just bought a new Dell Inspiron 8100 notebook with W2k installed. I configure the HD in a way that there is 6G space left unallocated and unformatted. Initially I plan to install solaris on that space. However when I search in this board I found many issues about Solaris install, not to mention for those notebooks.
Well, I'm still in hope, has anyone ever successfully installed Solaris 8.0 on same platform? Or can suggest me a backup plan before I give it a try. Anyway, I won't like to waste $45 once I buy one.
thanks,

One workaround I have seen for laptop keyboards not funtioning correctly during install it to connect a USB keyboard to the system. I cannot guarantee it will work on this particular system, but its worth a try.

Flash player for older dell inspirion 8100

i have a used dell 8100 given to me by a good friend. i want to install flash player for the msn and facebook videos. which is the best version? it's a dell inspirion 8100 with a 996 processor, 512 ram and 2.0 virtual memory. it's windows xp pro based. thanks!

You can try installing the latest:Flash Player 13.0.0.182 or even the last supported version: Flash Player 11.2.202.350
Trouble is: The latest, while still compatible with XP, is probably too much for your processor, and the older versions will result in endless "You need the latest Flash Player" notifications, and non-working video content, especially with MSN and Facebook.

I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
The MS articles in question:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
and
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
Hope this helps!

How can I install a Dell A10 810 printer on my Macbook?

Just double-click the zip file to open it.
There is no Mac version of Access, so how you're going to open the Access file remains to be seen.

A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

How do i install a dell 1130 printer to my mac xo s laptop

Erase and install?? a few problems...

Hello. This is going to be a long one, so you might as well get a fresh cup.
A little history. I started with a G4 Powerbook (10.4.11) some number of years ago. In November of last year I got a 24" iMac. Turned it on, set it up with a new user named "swank" (the same as on on powerbook.) After this, I realized I wanted to bring my old user over from the lappy. Using migration assistant, I tried to do this. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure that because there was already a user named "swank", I had to change the one I was bring in. So, I changed it to "swanks." I also made a user for my girlfriend.
So, for a long time I used m$ office 2004 on the lappy. Then I upgraded to 2008. Everything worked fine and dandy. Then I moved over to the iMac. Not so fine and dandy anymore. Word works just fine, but PP and Excel have issues with saving documents. If I email a doc to myself from school, I can open it and view it just fine.
(on edit: actually, this is not true. I'm going over the details below and realized that I can access a file from a thumb drive, etc, but not email)
BUT, if I save it afterwards or save it from the email BEFORE opening it, it disappears somewhere into the ether. I eventually found out where this "ether" place is, but that will come later. I tried to reinstall office a couple times, to no avail. So I went to the local Mac store (non-corporate) the other day and talked with one of the techs about it. He told me about some files that needed to get deleted along with the uninstall. I did that a couple times, did a repair disk from the install disk (per the techs request as well), restarted between doing everything, etc, etc. Once convinced all was clear, I reinstalled office 2008. AAAAHHHHHH. SAME THING!!!! I don't get it. I don't want to talk with m$. I tried that once. It failed.
Now I am wondering about starting ALL over from scratch. I'm not sure how to proceed from this point though. I have a time machine backup (250 gb of stuff from myself and my gf) and I have a bootcamp partion (that time machine has NOT been backing up.) So I guess my questionS are:
1. can I do an erase and install on JUST the mac partition?
2. once reinstalled, will I be able to pick and choose stuff off the time machine disk? Or do I have to simply restore completely from it (which at this point I would rather not)?
3. is step #2 a good idea (bringing in individual files, if possible)? Or will this possibly bring in the corrupted-ness that I am currently experiencing?
4. is there a way to do this without a clean install?
Details of office problem:
1. I open a document (new)
2. Type anything
3. Save
4. Right click on file name at top of window
(this is what I was referring to as the "ether." *WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD SOMETHING GET SAVED HERE?* Even though I specified that it get saved in "Documents"?????
5. Bang head against wall
1. I ATTEMPT to open a document saved when office worked
2. 1 of 2 things will happen:
OR
(No matter WHAT file I try to open, only the last document I made will open, AND it will be called "juan")
2. Bang head against wall
Anyway, if you've made it this far, your are brave. Maybe you have advice. Thanks for listening.

Also, now, after erasing the m$ stuff, when I open a finder window in the user "swanks", the one I mainly use, the window for "swank" shows up. You know, with all the little red circle with white line through it things on the bottom right corner of a folder?? What the heck?

Before erasing the volume and reinstalling, there are a few things you might want to try first, which are less disruptive:
1. Force Office to generate new preference files. Go to /Users/swanks/Library/Preferences. Create a folder called "Microsoft_old". Drag the folder /Users/swanks/Library/Preferences/Microsoft into the new Microsoft_old folder. Drag all files in your preferences folder which begin with "com.microsoft" in there as well. Relaunch PowerPoint and test it out. You may find it was just a wonky prefs file causing the behavior. If you aren't seeing it in any other application, this is pretty likely.
2. Test the opening/saving behavior of powerpoint in the new user account. If it is fine, then you can just move your files over from one user to the other. There are a few ways of doing this, but the simplest is probably to put everything you want into the /Users/Shared folder and change ownership to your new user account via the Get Info window or the Terminal, if you are comfortable in the command line (using chown -R is usually faster and more reliable than using the Sharing & Permissions section of the Info window, in my experience). Also, you can use your girlfriend's account to test this - does PowerPoint work as expected when she is logged in?
If a new user account behaves the same way, then you probably have deeper issues than just preference problems. At that point you may want to consider rebuilding the OS.
To answer your questions directly:
1. can I do an erase and install on JUST the mac partition?
Yes. You do not have to touch the Boot Camp partition when reinstalling Mac OS X. When booted from the install disc, you will have
2. once reinstalled, will I be able to pick and choose stuff off the time machine disk? Or do I have to simply restore completely from it (which at this point I would rather not)?
Yes. When you browse your Time Machine Backup (with the fancy space-warp background), you can select individual files/folders to restore. It will prompt you to select a location where you want to restore the files.
3. is step #2 a good idea (bringing in individual files, if possible)? Or will this possibly bring in the corrupted-ness that I am currently experiencing?
I don't think you are dealing with actual file corruption, more likely broken preferences or damaged defaults. I wouldn't be worried about bringing over any non-OS files.
4. is there a way to do this without a clean install?
See above. Those are the things I would try first, before you do a clean install.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, post and I'll try to answer.

I''m new to Mac, how do I install Adobe CD? I put it in the CD drive and get a menu, everything I click on goes nowhere. In Microsoft, I installed many programs with no problem

Is the Adobe CD a MAC app ?
If it is a program for Windows you will not be able to install it.
If you nedd that program you can either buy the equivalent for Mac or install a way to run Windows under Mac (may be a cheaper solution)
