Soundcard not recognized with fresh install of Windows XP h

My brother-in-laws computer was having many issues with restarting and after spending a couple weeks trying everything I know to try, I decided just to reformat. Before the reformat, his soundcard was working just fine (Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS). Now since the reformat, fir whatever reason, Windows doesn't recognize the card. Just says multi-media something or another with a yellow exclamation point. I downloaded the latest driver for the card and that as it's starting to install says that it is unable to locate a soundblaster device. The onboard card is disabled through BIOS. I am at a loss for what to do. Any ideas?

I have the same problem with my SB Li've! soundcard. When I try to install the drivers from Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe it says that no SB device can be found on my CPU. I don't have my installation CD and my connection speed is too low to download the new one from BadBoy. Can you help?

Satellite L655 - Sound not working on fresh install of Windows 7 Pro x64

Howdy all,
I purchased an L655-S5111 from Newegg that was on sale, put an SSD into it, and then installed a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I received from my current employer (I'm an IT guy). I've updated to the latest BIOS revision (1.70), and I've got all Windows updates installed, all drivers installed, including the correct Conexant HD Audio and ATI HDMI Audio drivers. Unfortunately, sound does not work. Sound worked briefly when I first installed Windows 7, then I muted it until I could get it set up with headphones. When I unmuted it, it had ceased to work.
This laptop is less than 3 weeks old at this point, and I get no audio over headphones or speakers, although Windows clearly shows no issues with the drivers, they're the latest version, on a fresh install, and I can see the audio in the mixer playing. The microphone built-in to the laptop does pick up sound as well. I believe that this is most likely not an issue of physical interconnection, but more likely a software level issue, I'm just having trouble identifying where it is at.
I also have no related error messages anywhere in the event logs.

I have two problems with installing the recovery image:
1) I didn't get a copy of the recovery media with the system
2) The recovery media would install Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit which is what came with the laptop.
Since I have legitimately licensed copies of Windows 7 Pro/Enterprise 64-bit, I would much rather install that. Since I used the drivers and software from the Toshiba website for this particular model, it should be working. There should be no functional difference between the recovery media and a fresh Windows install from the Microsoft-provided Windows media and Toshiba provided drivers from their website.
As you can see in the sysinfo (I'm assuming Keany the respondent is the admin that approved my post and edited it, thus had access to the data which was removed) I have all the Toshiba software and drivers installed, identically to if this was the recovery image, I just have it on a different edition of Windows 7.
I'm open to any other suggestions, but unfortunately it is not possible to do the above.

I used Patchburn with Tiger. After I removed the Patchburn generated drivers from Library/DiscRecording/DeviceProfiles and restarted, it now works fine.

Java not recognizing IPv6 is installed on windows 2000

Hello, I'm having an issue getting Java to recognize that IPv6 is installed on a windows 2000 SP4 box. I've installed IPv6, have set up link-local addresses, and DNS. I can ping other machines on my subnet with their IPv6 addresses perfectly fine. However, when I run an application that attempts to bind or connect to an IPv6 address, such as fe80::5%4 when specifying the scope-id, or even fe80::5 without the scope-id, Java throws an exception that the Protocol Family is not supported on my machine. I am using JRE 1.5.0_01 on the machine. Anyone know how I can get Java to recognize IPv6 is installed on my machine? Thanks

The IPv6 stack for Windows 2000 was a research stack - right? J2SE needs the updated and integrated stack that came with Windows XP SP1 or 2003 Server. See:

Decisions with fresh install in windows 7 64 bit

Hi community,
I'm setting up a new laptop running windows 7 64 bit, and I'm trying to decide the best way to serve Application Express.
I count 5 main options
1) Embedded Gateway
2) Install the complete 11g "companion" tier
3) Use Apex Listener EA with WebLogic Server
4) Use Apex Listener EA with Tomcat
5) Use Apex Listener EA with OC4J
I don't want to use the embedded gateway, and I want to keep things fairly light on the laptop.
This page offered concise setup instructions for the three options with the Apex Listener
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_listener_install_web.html
But after trawling many comments on one major thread, I can't determine the pros and cons for these options. I was wondering if anyone can provide a link or information with concise details why you'd choose one option over the other?
Once Apex Listener moves past EA, will it perhaps be advantageous to have selected one over the other? Is it easy to roll back installation of certain options?
I'm leaning towards WLS, since that has ties with othe Oracle components, but Tomcat seems thin an non-invasive for my laptop.
Thoughts?
Scott.

I've ended up using the new production release of Apex Listener with Glassfish.
Good work on the new installation instructions, they are much more informative.
My major hurdle with Glassfish was attempting to use the JDK that came with 11gr2. It took a colleague to spot I was using 1.5.x instead of 1.6.0.20 - I sourced this version from my Windows 7 64bit install.
Now to attempt installing 10gR2 with Apex3.2 on the same box

"canon mp navigator ex has stopped working" cannot get this to work - fresh install on windows 8.1

Trying to get LiDE 110 scanner working on my laptop. I keep getting this message once scan is complete "canon mp navigator ex has stopped working" and then a corrupted pdf is saved - fresh install on windows 8.1 I have used most up to date drivers and software and tried these two "fixes" from an internet search on this topic (it seems to be a common problem that hasn't been addressed by Canon) - I'm on the verge of returning the scanner!! 1) Delete this file: C:\Users\<user name>\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\My Web Sites on MSN. RESULT - "My Web Sites on MSN" does not exist in that folder on my computer. 2)Remove "sdc330Twain.ds" from windows Twain-32 folder RESULT - didn't have any effect Thank you, in anticipation!

Currently running the scanner on "Advanced scan to pdf" but would like to have access to the canon software with more options

FRESH install of Windows 7 Home Premuim on a new G550

I just got a new G550 with Windows 7 Home Premium yesterday that I like so far (less than 24 hours)
I am probably not the first to think this, but if I wanted to do a FRESH install of Windows 7 Premium (it came on the Laptop) I dont like all the junk Lenovo puts on there though. I removed a lot of it and did an image of it once i got it where I liked it just in case. (Along with a repair disk)
Obviously it does not come with a straight Windows 7 disc. BUT.... If I had a copy of the same OS and tried to install it with a reformatted hard drive using the key that is on the bottom of the laptop, would that work?
I don't see the need for One touch restore/recovery with the native imaging software. I would like to clean up the drive, get rid of the hidden partition and go from scratch. Tell me I am missing something here.
Lastly, I can't find anywhere on Lenovos support pages where I can find ANY Windows 7 drivers I might need. Am I stuck?
Thanks,
Doug

UPDATE: I gave up on tech support at Lenovo and called the sales department. They were helpful as my computer is under warranty. They are kicking it up to the next level and are supposed to call back today with further options that may include replacement. Time will tell.
Microsoft support says it is a Lenovo problem not a Windows problem, six hours total spent with micosoft, I have contacted the broadband card manufacture and received a little help. There are known issues according to D-Link with the router configuration. These have been correced.
Will update with further information tommorow. Another call scheduled with the senior engineering staff at Microsoft to attempt to correct the issue.

Can't clone or fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my MX100

Hello, I am trying to replace my hard drive with the MX100 on a Lenovo Flex 2-14. I first tried cloning with Acronis. The cloning of the SSD worked but it would not boot. Second, I deleted all the partitions and formatted to NTFS. I tried to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 from a USB thumb drive. Change the boot order to the USB then to the MX100. It would boot to the USB but then it would just hang there with the Windows 8 icon. I made a test where I place the SSD back with the old hard drive and try to do a fresh install and it booted to the USB but it didn't hang there. It actually took me to the Windows install menu. So there's nothing wrong with the USB. It's is not like my computer cannot detect the SSD because when I put it in my laptop, I can see it in the BIOS menu and I can format it in Windows. Please if anyone have similar problem...please help. Cheers,Kham

My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my iMac without installing Lion first?

My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
Thank you so so so much!
-SweetDee

SweetDee,
I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
Switch 101
Mac 101

In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out.

Fresh Install of Windows 8.1 on rMBP mid 2012

Seeing how there are issues about bootcamp and windows 8.1, anyone know if a fresh install of Windows 8.1 (non-pro) will work on a rMBP mid 2012 model using the usual bootcamp instructions? Or will I have to do a workaround to get it installed?

That is what I fear. I've heard issues about installing windows 8.1 directly (though most seem to be about the 2013 MBPs, unsure of my model), and considering it's impossible for me to get a copy of windows 8 and upgrade through the store (the optimal solution) now, I'm left with installing 8.1 right from the get-go. Anyone else have success/experience going through the 8.1 route on 2012 MBPs?

Bootcamp support drivers "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running"

Hi,
I've searched everywhere I can think of for a solution to this problem with no success. I see other people have reported similar issues and these have not yet been resolved.
I have installed Windows 7 32 bit on a new Mac Mini under Bootcamp. When I go to install the Bootcamp drivers in Windows, I get the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running".
Other people have reported this issue when trying to install 3rd party software on a 64 bit version of windows but I'm simply trying to install the Bootcamp drivers on a 32 bit version of Windows.
Is it possible the Mac Mini needs a 64 bit version of Windows installed under Bootcamp? I haven't seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.
Appreciated all and any help that can be offered.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Late 2012 iMac and Mac mini only supports the 64-bit Windows 7 version, so the drivers you downloaded are designed to work with the 64-bit version and you can't install them on a 32-bit version. Install the 64-bit Windows 7 on your computer

Windows desktop application -- version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running

I am developing on 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise using VisualStudio 2013. I created a new Windows desktop VB.net application and just created a release build of the default solution/project targeting "Any CPU". I provided the EXE to a
colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see
whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
I changed the build configuration to create a "x86" build but my colleague received the same error. Any ideas why this would be happening (I checked and my colleague has .Net4 Framework installed as well)? Thank you for your time and
response!

Hi sunisha,
According to your description, you'd like to run the application in your colleague's computer.
I provided the EXE to a colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
If you want to test the application, you could provide the whole Debug folder to colleague instead of the single exe.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
Check if the collegue's computer is running 64-bit windows:
Enter Control Panel, click on System and Security.
Under this, you can view the system type. This will describe whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit.
You can also try compatiblity mode.
If the program is not compatible, then you may try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
1)   Right click on the Program
2)   Click on Properties
3)   Click on Compatibility tab
4)   Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever operating system the program was running successfully.
And if you still have questions, I suggest you deploy the application to the Local Network with clickOnce, then your collegue can install the application from the network.
#ClickOnce deployment

And also, you could recreate a new small application in your computer in Any CPU, then check if this small new application can work well in your colleague's computer. This can judge if the problem is caused by your application.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

File not compatible with the version of windows

Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
services but instead I got cut off.
At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum. Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
MGA
Diagnostic Report:
To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once downloaded, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
One
Issue Per Thread:
Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
don't post your issue in another person's thread).
It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.
