Trouble installing virtual pc

i recently uninstalled Virtual PC from my computer bc it was shutting down unexpectedly. Now, I'm trying to reinstall the software and when i put the installing cd in;;;;; nothing happens after i double-click to install. The screen after putting the cd in has 3 options; install virtual pc. read me. manuals and tools. They work when i click on then expect for installing pc. at the very top it states; 3 items, 0KB available. Does this mean i have no space available? My computer has 1.25 GB on it.
please offer assistance

The error message is referring to disk space not RAM. How did you uninstall VPC from within Windows? I'd be glad to try and help, but frankly I don't understand what you've done, and the explanation you've given doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Have you removed the VPC application from your Mac's hard drive along with the VPC preference files, .pkg receipts, the virtual hard drive, etc. and all the other stuff VPC installs? I really need for you to provide me with some more information. Also, I need to know how large your hard drive is and how much free space you have on it.
Are you aware that there is a VPC Uninstaller on the VPC 7 Installer CD? It's located in the additional Tools folder on the CD. Did you use the uninstaller?

Trouble installing virtual PC onto Mac OS X v10.4.10

i'm not very tech savvy, but...here's the best i can describe my problem.
i'm currently using an iMac OS X v10.4.10 and i'm trying to install the program Virtual PC, which allows me to run windows programs on the Mac computer. even when the first part of the installation process is successful, there is an error message that tells me that the program cannot run. i've checked all the system requirements and i have everything required; my office mac program installed just fine, but for some reason Virtual PC won't.
i've read somewhere that Virtual PC cannot work with an intel mac, is this true? my mac currently runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. is this the reason why Virtual PC cannot open to finish installation?

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.

VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Trouble getting virtual NICs to appear in VM

Hi all. We have the latest release of HyperV running on fully patched Windows 2008 host machine. We have 3 physical dual port NICs in the machine and we are having trouble creating virtual networks and having them show inside a guest VM.
Our guest VM is running Windows 2003 Web, SP2. No network adapters show up under Control Panel -> network connections
In device manager I notice a yellow exclamation under Other Devices. The details for this are as follows:
Unknown Device - Location: on Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to ISA bridge (ISA)
The drivers for this device are not installed.
Details: Value - ACPI\VMBUS\4&4B018EB&0
Here are the steps we took to create the virtual network:
1) Open Virtual Network Manager
2) Click Add on "External" virtual network
3) Select Intel Pro/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (unused on host machine, but cable is plugged in) - External
4) Click OK to create virtual network
5) Go to Settings of VM and click Network Adapter
6) Select the virtual network we just created under Network: in Settings
7) Configure IP address etc on new VIRTUAL nic created on host machine. I have confirmed Hyper-V removed all checkboxes under properties of the physical NIC minus Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Is there some sort of driver/patch I am missing? Any help would be much appreciated!

I should have stated;
Windows Server 2003 x86 SE built on VS 2005 R2 sp1, transferred to Server 2008 with hyper V installed, upgraded to SP2. Integration Services setup disk has been run. Mouse control is in and running. Still no NIC drivers.
System built on 2008 Vhost with SE sp0 and upgraded works. I hadn't installed the integration disk. My bad.
So is there nic drivers available or not? The biggest business requirement for virtualization is to save on all the testbed workstations and servers. These run things like Windows 2000 server and workstation, Windows XP, server 2003 sp0. Various testing levels for compatibility with clients. Without this driver natively there seems to be no way forward for the company infrastructure.

Trouble installing 2.1.1 for ipod touch generation 1

I am having troubles installing 2.1.1 ipod touch software on a gen. 1 ipod touch. I am using an IMac G5, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4 and the process of updating in itunes has frozen with the blue candy stripe bar spinning as it says "preparing iPod software for restore."
The ipod is black with an white apple and a spinning wheel.
It's been about 5 hours.
What should I do?
Cheers.

Just found some info on apple support.
Updating your iPhone and iPod touch to iPhone software 2.0 or later for the first time
Software updates prior to iPhone software 2.0 updated the device without affecting your settings or media content. Updating your iPhone and iPod touch from iPhone software 1.x to 2.0 or later includes a back up, erase, and then restore of your device prior to installing the new update. iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
As a result of this comprehensive one-time media backup, this process can take some time. The amount of time, is determined by the amount of data on the iPhone or iPod touch.
7 hours and counting. Stay tune. Maybe by tomorrow morning!

Hello i am having trouble installing itunes 10.5 on my laptop i have windows vista. it says error 7 windows error 998. i now have no itunes. i have tried to uninstall itunes but it still wont work and keep coming up with that message. please help!

hello
i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go.

It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Hold down the option key and select
 ▹ System Information...
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
Hardware ▹ USB
from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?

Trouble Installing Windows 8.1 on Yosemite

I am having trouble installing Windows 8.1 using the Bootcamp utility on OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the ISO file for 64 bit 8.1 from Microsoft and put it onto an 8gb USB drive using Bootcamp. My Macbook Pro is an early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) and is currently running OS X 10.10.1. I know that my MBP doesn't usually support booting from a USB, so I modified the info.plist file using the steps outlined in this thread:
Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
This got it to give me the option to boot from the USB when I held the option key on startup.
I have tried the following methods for installing with different errors for each:
1. Installing using Bootcamp created partition
For this, I went through the normal steps in bootcamp and when I got to the disk partitioning stage, I tried to format the drive 0 partition 4 using the format button. After formatting, it wouldn't allow me to continue because of this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk the selcted disk har an MR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." This lead me to this thread: Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partition 4.. It mentions a difference between EFI v. preUEFI installations, but I don't know how to do a preUEFI installation. Enlighten me anyone?
2. Creating a "free space" partition with Disk Utility
For this, I created a free space partition in disk utility and used the Window's installer to format the partition. This allows me to get to the very end of installation, but I get the error message: "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."
BTW, FileVault is turned off.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi mgallego,
Which step did the error start to occur ?Have you tried to install it again to have a check ?As the information stated, we can restart the machine to have a check.
Here is a link for reference of the requirements of the Windows 8.1 .

Problem Installing Virtual PC for XP Mode in Win 7 Pro(64) SP1

XP Mode has successfully installed, but Virtual PC has not. Installing Virtual PC requires only a Windows Update, so I downloaded the correct file -- Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu. When I try to install it I get that this update is already installed
on my computer, but I still don't have Virtual PC.
What now?
Thanks for any guidance that can be offered.
