Update Retriever doesn't run on Windows 8

Hi - I have started working with Microsoft's MDT 2012 update 1 to prepare for deployment of Windows 8 in our organization. I'd like to use "Update Retriever" so I can easily import a large number of Lenovo Thinkpad drivers.
However when I launch Update Retriever 4.03 (the most current version I see available for download) on a Windows 8 Enterprise machine, I receive the error:
"Update Retriever could not start properly".
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

We are in the process of final qualification tests for Update Retriever v5.0. This version will provide the support for Windows 8 searches.
Just curious, are you deploying Windows 8 in your environment or are you just looking to have UR run on your Win8 workstation?
Also, with MDT you may want to also check out our SCCM driver packs.

TM does not work like that.
If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.

Continuing update failure problems, "Not running real Windows"

Hello,
About 2 weeks ago I started getting a message on my computer screen "Not running Genuine Windows". I am most definitely running genuine windows. I checked the archives here and tried a fix that popped up, no joy.
It gave a fix option, which failed...generating error code 800706F7 again. I called tech support, a lady spent two hours working on the computer and could not fix it. She sent me to level two tech support, he called on New Years Day and worked on it for
a couple of hours and thought it was fixed.
The error message is back, the computer will not accept updates from windows updates.com, tells me to install update fix it, did so, still fails to install updates. This is becoming a nightmare, please help.

Hello NorCal Jeff,
Please use system restore to restore the system back to a store point before two weeks ago and check if the issue still exists.
System Restore:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows7/products/features/system-restore
1.Open System Restore by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type System Restore, and then, in the list of results, click System Restore. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.
2.Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer.
Best regards,

Automate Drivers install that Update retriever doesn't pick up

OK - I have implemented Thininstaller in our enterprise environment for new lenovo builds. The problem is some drivers need to be installed manually due to issues with thininstaller/update retriever. My question is - to do silent installs on these machines would I need to expand the .exe's then and run the silent comamands or can I do it straight fromt he EXE downloaded from the Lenovo site. I plan on just creating a batch file to do silent installs.
Ta.

Adobe Premier Elements 2.0 (W XP) doesn't run on windows 7

My new computer is Windows 7. My Adobe Premier Elelmnts 2.0 is for Windows XP. Can I get a free upgrade/patch so it will work?

Prostags3 did you receive any error messages at all when trying to install Premeire Elements 2 within Windows 7? If not my best suggestion would be to try the general troubleshooting steps listed within Troubleshoot installation problems | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows and Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows.
The first document is more designed for later versions of Premiere Elements but would still be worthwhile to run through the steps listed within the document. The second document is more generic with steps which can be applied for most any issues with Adobe software. If you have any questions about the steps listed within either document please feel free to respond to this thread.
Returning to Gautham's point regarding Premiere Elements 2.0 running under Windows 7. We have never tested the application within the Windows 7 environment. Premiere Elements also has a lot of dependencies from, graphic drivers, codecs which are employed, and even capabilities of the computers processor itself.
The documents I have listed give you the best opportunity to resolve your difficulties if it is possible within Windows 7. If you do receive an error message please post that to this thread as well as it may give us some additional guidance which we can provide you.

Have downloaded firefox update 3 times and it doesn't run

I have just started to use firefox on my pc which has windows 7. I keep getting a message saying I need to update the version of firefox, so I down load it and it says it is downloaded ( I now have it 3 times) but it doesn't run and still keepstellin me I need to upgrade it??? DO I just go back to internet explorer???

Your browser reported to the forum that you are running version 3.6.6. Can you verify that using the Help > About Firefox dialog?
Which file did you download: Firefox 3.6.27 or Firefox 10.0.2?
(If you need to re-download, you can choose from the files on these pages:<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all for 10.0.2 or <br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older for 3.6.27)
Make sure to close Firefox before launching the installer for the newer version. Do you get any error messages when you start it? It might take a minute for the installer to check itself before you get a dialog.

I have an epson T50 shared network, which is connected to a computer that runs on Windows 7 64-bit. The 10 days Apple has updated the printer drive and since then has been trying to print the following message: / Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed.
What should I do?

The first thing you should do is re-write your post to make it a bit more understandable. I got you have an Epson printer connected to your PC, however after that your post doesn't make any sense. Are you attempting to print from your iMac, if so then you need to download and install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. Then set Windows so it has printer sharing turned on and then on the iMac simply follow Apple's instructions for adding a printer.

My new 8th gen iPod nano is 'not recognized' by my computer. My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting...

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
Thanks

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hi,
Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
Thanks.
