Hi,
this is a known problem between The Starforce Protection and Microsoft Vista Operating System.
The Starforce driver which is on your CD/DVD is not compatible with Windows Vista.
You need to search a Vista compatible driver from Star-Force.
I tried to find one for you, but it seems, that all Starforce Websites are down.

RESOLVED: "This driver is blocked-" issue on Windows Vista

Hi. I have a ThinkPad T60, originally an XP machine that came pre-installed with Roxio RecordNow. Recently, I upgraded it to Windows Vista. Unfortunately, I did not find the information about needing to uninstall this product *before* upgrading my system to Vista until it was too late – and I know from my search for a solution, I am not the only one
In my/our defense, the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Advisor found the potential problem before I did the upgrade but the message simply said something like “Caution. You may have to obtain a Vista-compatible update for…” from Roxio. This was true for drivers and sw from Lenovo too. And, after upgrading I easily updated my ThinkPad drivers and applications by downloading the updated components from the Lenovo site.
But even after *purchasing* an upgrade to a newer version of Roxio's software – which their support people claimed would a) be compatible with Vista (it is) and b) fix my problem (it did not) – I cannot get rid of this issue...

A driver is installed that causes stability problems with your system…
This error message comes up (and cannot be closed) every time I restart my PC.
Long story short, the Microsoft and Lenovo sites (rightfully) point the finger at Roxio, but they have been of no help to me... After having me try numerous, time-consuming things that they thought "this may work" (for example, see http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Creator/000127CR and http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Creator/000131CR their ultimate answer is “reformat your hard disk and start over with a new/clean Vista install…”
I cannot accept this answer. There is way too much sw on my machine, purchased and installed over the last 1.5 years and all of which gracefully (more or less) went through this upgrade with me, for me to “start all over”!!!
I have been unable to find a solution to this problem amongst all the chatter on the net although I have found clues and I feel I may be getting close. And so now, finally, my question...
I now know the related software and offending driver is found in C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\MMCfTO which is where Lenovo originally installed with sw on my hard drive. To solve my problem, can I simply delete this folder *and* find/remove the corresponding Registry keys???
Thanks in advance to anyone here who can help me.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

For posterity...   I was able to resolve this issue by using some tips and tricks not specifically related to my issue, but allowed me to get to a solution nonetheless.
1) The following article was NOT written for/about Vista, so you cannot run the "REG ADD" command it suggests. However, you can use REGEDIT to make the suggested addition to the Registry by hand.
        see http://mcpmag.com/columns/article.asp?editorialsid=990
2) This change allows you to run the Control Panel / Program Uninstall in Safe Mode and then you can Uninstall the Sonic Solutions DLA software.
Yay!

Qosmio x870 WLan driver update needed due to WLan issues

Hi,
I have this notebook since 3-4 months now and one problem is annoying. My wlan works sometimes good and on another days totally weird.
The indicator shows 3 of 4 bars as example, but the i got no connection. When i start chrome or firefox nothing is loading. After a restart its working normally. My router works with another old toshiba notebook and my pc.
I checked with avast and anti malwarebytes my notebook and it should be clean.
I saw that toshiba updated all driver, but there are too many of them. But I dont know which ones i have to install.
Are those display driver of toshiba the same like nvidias packages or is something missing?
I want to update it too, cuz some games get better performance. Should i use nvidias driver or the ones of toshiba provided. On another threads i saw i have to update first intel and nvida driver. Is that right?
I tried some months ago to install such driver on my pc, but lenovo has own driver too and it didnt worked. I dont want to "destroy" my notebook^^
I hope someone can help. Sorry for asking again, i didnt found right forum :)

> I saw that Toshiba updated all driver, but there are too many of them. But I dont know which ones i have to install.
You have to take the one which is released for the Wlan card.
So what WLan card do you have? You can check this in device manager in the Network Adapters area.
Furthermore its really interesting to know what Qosmio X870-xxx do you have exactly?
Regarding the display driver question:
This should be discussed in another thread which you have already started.

Yoga 2 pro / win8.1 - "Compatibility issue with your power management system"

Hi,
After downgrading form win10 back to 8.1 due to endless driver malfunction and a significant decrease in overall performance, I got this message in windows action center: “Compatibility issue with your power management system”. When I click on it it says: This solution could not be downloaded
Most likely causes:
• Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later. As you can see, my internet connection is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks,
Daniel

Check if installing this helps you:

If you already did this, check if you can do this BIOS update as well:

Let me know if it works.

Compatibility issues with mac OS - Lightroom 4 works where CS5 won't

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue...
I tried installing Lightroom 4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 (which is currently running CS5 without issues) but the specs call for OS 10.6.8 or later (10.7). When I updated my OS to 10.6.8, none of my CS5 apps work! They encounter launch errors - InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver... only Photoshop seems to work. So, I reverted back to OS 10.6.1 and all the programs function. Is Adobe working on a solution to fix this issue? I see with the forums that several other users have noted the same issue with CS5 not working in the OS 10.6.8 environment. I don't want to upgrade my OS just to have Lightroom function, but none the CS apps. I was thinking of partitioning my HD to load both OS, but that shouldn't be the workaround. I am very disappointed that I've purchased Lightroom 4 and now am unable to use it due to compatibility issues with the OS with the rest of CS5.0.

Pixelzboy are you receiving any specific errors when launching your applications under 10.6.8? CS5 should work just fine with 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.3. You may also want to post to the product specific forums with your launch errors as the users in those forums will be more familiar with troubleshooting steps specific to those products.

RAM Compatibility Issue

Hi all,
I tried to purchase a RAM upgrade from Crucial.com for my Mac and was told they do not sell RAM upgrades for my model due to compatibility issues. I am lost and don't know where I should go for a quality product or if it's even worth upgrading at this point.
This is what I need:
1.0GB (1024MB) PC4200 DDR2 SODIMM 200 Pin Memory Module 128x64 533MHz for *NEW October-2005* PowerBook G4 'Aluminum' 15" & 17" 1.67GHz Models using DDR2
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yes, very much so. They specialize exclusively in Mac-related products, they stand firmly behind what they sell, and I and many other regulars here have bought a lot of stuff from them and recommend them highly.

Vista "Problem Reports and Solutions" - Compatibility issues?

The Visa +Problem Reports and Solutions control panel+ is reporting three problems which I cannot seem to be able to find a resolution to.
( So far I've just installed Vista 32 business ed. on my iMac 20". Installed bootcamp drivers, updated bootcamp to 2.1 and applied Vista updates.)
*The Problem Reports and Solutions control panel reports the following:*
1. Download and install the driver for Apple performance counter
This problem was caused by Apple performance counter, which was created by Apple Inc..
2. Compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows. This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and this version of Windows. Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 was created by Intel Corporation and is distributed by Apple Inc..
3. Problem caused by Apple Desktop Null Driver.
This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of Windows and Apple Desktop Null Driver. This product is usually distributed by the company that manufactured your device or computer. Note. If you bought Apple Desktop Null Driver from a retailer and installed it yourself, you will need to contact its manufacturer.
Are these genuine, and if so, is there a solution? No solutions are proposed by Vista itself.
Mac OS 10.5.5 , bootcamp 2.1

A performance counter is not something that is usually in use by any application except by the developers of the unit itself. nothing to be alarmed about (well, except perhaps that it should have been removed).
A null driver is (as the name indicates) null, there is no functionality assigned with it. MS error message is just brilliant "there is an error in your null driver", like what, there is no functionality in a null driver. So no problems there either.
I got the 2 above error messages on the very first generation 17" MBP for ages and so far not seen any impacts in it for my work.
The Intel issue is interesting, it might be a good idea to see if Intel has an updated driver for the problem.

Windows 10 Compatibility Issues

I want to upgrade to the new Windows 10 Operating System. Apparently, this is going to be a compatibility issue with my laptop. I have the AMD Radeon HD 7640G Graphics Card. It would seem Windows 10 doesn't like this. How can I correct this problem before the release date in July? Thanks.

Touch driver blocked due to failed logo requirements

I have the HP Envy m6 Win8 laptop which is not a touch screen laptop. My laptop, sinc January, has been repeatedly freezing requiring hard restarts. I have taken it into GeekSquad 4 times now and had the motherboard replaced, my hard drive replaced, and
my drivers updated. However, it's still having issues. I looked at the failed event log and this is what it says:
Source: win32k
event ID: 266
General: Touch driver blocked due to failed logo requirements
There's also another one that says:
Source: PrintService
event ID: 215
General: Installing printer driver- failed, error code 0xBC8, HRESULT 0x80070BC8. See the event user data for context information.
At the same exact time as event 215, this one occurs as well:
Source: PrintService
event ID: 370
General: The print spooler failed to regenerate the printer driver information for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver for environment Windows x64. Win32 system error code 3016 (0xbc8). This can occur after an operating system
upgrade or because of data loss on the hard drive.
I can't find anything on the web to fix this issue. My husband is a comm guy who works on computers all the time and can't figure it out. GeekSquad has had my laptop for (total) a month and can't figure it out. Any insight would be much appreciated! I just
want my computer (which is only 8 months old) to stop freezing! :(

I've the same problem also. I'm using acer ravo. problem is the pc just lost connection to display/monitor without any reason after being left for some hours and wont wake up..the only thing to reestablish the display/monitor is by hard restart.
Pls help

Is there a compatibility issue with the Current USB 3 external Hard drives and MacBook Pro 2011 (USB 2)?

I am currently having bad hangs with my 13" MacBook Pro (2011) which I book 2012 ad a New external Harddrive (WD My Passport Edge) which was given to me as a gift.
Friends of mine told me there is a compatibility issue between the USB 3 cord and the USB outlet of my MacBook Pro.
Although this shouldnt be the case as the box of the Hard drive I got said it was compatible.
I even downloaded the WD Drive Utilities and sometimes whenthe Harddrive is plugged in the Utilities doean't Open but just bleeps in the Applications Dock.
Before I used the Harddrive I read a lot from the WD Manual and went to their site and downloaded a firmware update so I really don't know what the problem is.
What I am afraid of is that I may lose some files if I place them in the external Harddrive.
Can anyone help me with this or should I be asking for a replacement harddrive?
This is my first experience with an external hard drive as I never used one before.
Thank you very much.

To be honest, I've had back luck with Western Digital drives and I avoid them at all costs. If I were you, I would return the WD drive and look at externals from OWC or MacMall (LaCie, even G-Tech).
That's just my personal opinion, mind you...

Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

Hi everyone,
I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
What I've tried so far:
1. First attempt
     a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
     b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
          Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
2. Second attempt
     a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
     b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
     c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
          Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
3. Third attempt
     a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
     b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
     c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
          Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
Best regards,
Alex

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

Material blocked due to a physical inventory - VL02N - Post Goods Issue

Hi,
We are working with SAP R/3 4.6C IDES.
During a business process we need to run VL02N and to click the Post Goods Issue button.
When we do that, we are getting the following error:
"Material P-103 1000 0001 blocked due to a physical inventory"
Anyone knows that I need to do in order to make it work?!
Also, anyone knows how can I add more quantity to a given part?
Thank you!
Yaniv

Hi Yaniv!
Any stock changes are forbidden during physical inventory (otherwise you wouldn't know, if your counting has amount of before or after the change).
Close the counting (-> ask who has done this), then goods issue is possible.
Quantity change: go to picking tab and enter 'real' -> changed quantity.
Regards,
Christian

At the urging of an Apple Store employee, I upgraded to OS Lion X. However, Excel does not recognize the hard drive and I cannot save any work. I understand there is a small compatibility issue - any suggestions ?

I need some direction on fixing an issue with excel and lion x which has a compatibility issue - can't save my work to a hard drive.

If you made a backup before installing lion, now would be a good time to restore that backup.... Ok, well you can always boot into lion recovery menu.... shut down your mac, hold down the option key and restart your computer..... Select recovery from the disk startup menu and go to disk utility... select the OSX disk, you can try repairing your permissions and repairing the disk.... If you lucky enough, it will fix it.... If not, and you have a decent internet connection, click the reinstall LION OSX after exiting disk utility. Your mac will now REDOWNLOAD LION OSX and reinstall it.... did you happen to make a backup before?
Also, did your mac originally have Leopard? Just curious... Because LION is entirely 64bit now where as Snow leopard had support for 32 bit as well, but the problem may be that some of your older apps where 32 bit.... This is just a guess though I'm not sure.... Because I've had numerous problems and crashes with my CS 4 stuff and final cut pro 7 and aperature.... Not sure if it's totally related to the whole 64 bit thing, but the thing is that the crashes are only occuring on my 32 bit apps.... otherwise the computer runs great.... To remedy, I had previously made an OSX lion USB drive so that I could do a fresh install of LION. I backed up all my data and files, installed a new SSD and my Macbook is SCREAAAAAAMING fast.... Sorry about the gloating but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of your problem....

Hello:
Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend. Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only? What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries. compatibility issues with what?

Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.
