Using FIOS optimizer with Windows 7

I just recently upgraded my computer using a clean install from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. When I had Vista, I used the FIOS optimizer & it helped my upload speed. I was able to use the FIOS speed test & showed my speed at around 25/4. I should be getting 25/15. Does anyone know if the FIOS optimizer is compatible with Windows 7? Has anyone with Windows 7 even tried using the optimizer?

Aha! Now we get to the heart of the matter. (The unreliability of Verizon's software.)
I have the 20/5 package, and though my Verizon test results may be 20.046/4.672, I get the flashing red light
("Danger Danger Will Robinson, your system is NOT OPTIMIZED!!!!")
So, I follow the links to get through the click maze to the Optimizer tool and finally run it only to be told: Your system is ALREADY OPTIMIZED. You don't need this! LOL
Then if I go back and run the speed test again I get the flashing red light all over again.
By the way, I've called in about the difference between my upload speed (actual) and the published speed and the tech got testy with me. What? You expect to get all of that? Whaddarya, **bleep**? (He didn't really say it that way, but his tone did.) Now this is not to say that I have had all bad experiences with Verizon's people, because there are some really nice ones out there.
Anyway, back to the point, for I digress. My system is tweaked just fine, and I'm not sure what part it plays but I run Optimize software whenever I do a new install. Here's their page for what it's worth:
http://www.pcpitstop.com/store/optimize.asp?gclid=CPfCqMrmoZ8CFZaV7QodxUP5Iw
Their online system test has proven helpful to me as well.
Another way to tweak your system is to go to DrTCP: http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp
The site is hard to find your way around, but if you dig you can find where they make recommendations for your settings. I find that after I run Optimize (again, not sure how much it helps) all I need to do when I run DrTCP is change my TCP Receive Window setting to 1045440. Not sure where I came up with that figure, but I think it was a nice and helpful Verizon tech who steered me to this site long ago....
It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH?

Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH without purchasing the latest suite or upgrades? I origionally purchased a suite with Pagemaker, Photostyler and Freehand just before Aldus went Adobe, and Win3.1 went Win95, then WinME and WinXP. I miss PM and have several manyscripts saved on PM4.0 and can not export or import them to any current wordprocessing programs. I was very far into one manuscript and am now in a position to finish it up but don't want to have to purchase a whole suite in order to do so. Any suggestions for this old tightwad?

Shouldn't that be Win3.0 c.1991? And with a very early of version ATM (Ver 2?) if you want to do anything with fonts?
I think I have a WinME PC in the garage, which if you can re-format with DOS 5 and install Win3 instead (I may have the disks in the garage too), PM4 will positively scream along.
I reckon it's non starter on a modern WinXP PC, as the OS is so different, but if you're willing to experiment, you never know!
But if you want to open some old files to extract the text, you can open the PM4 files and save them with a d/l'ed trial copy of PM7, which will be OK on WinXP

Using an iPod with Windows Me

As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?
Windows ME

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

Thanks

Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you? I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
Or explain whether you want these in a webpage in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code. this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

Can I use Illustrator 9 with Windows 7 OS?

Can I use Illustrator 9 with windows 7 OS?

taciadomrose,
You may need to run the computer in XP mode to install it (you may try in normal mode first). Here is how:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
Once installed, you should be able to get it to run with the PC in normal mode as follows (first run):
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
After that, you can just DoubleClick the shortcut.

Is Fios compatible with Windows 7 64-Bit?

I would like to know if Verizon FIOS is compatible with windows 7 64-bit because I've seen some topics on the internet where there are problems with it. If you need more info about the computer, please let me know, but keep in mind that my computer has pretty decent specs. (corei7 processor, Gigs of ram, ATI Radeon 5770, etc )
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To expand on the first reply, I do have FiOS TV and internet, and there is absolutely no need to install any Verizon software on your computer to use the service. I do not currently have any installed on my Windows 7 64-bit system that I am typing this on right now, have been using this laptop since Oct 22, 2009 with Windows 7 on FiOS, works fine.
And if you do decide you want to install some Verizon software, my experience is that some probably will work, some probably will not. For example, the Verizon Call Assistant (VCA) client didn't work worth a *&^%#@, at least for me, but I don't need it as I have a very reliable Caller ID on TV setup and if I really need to access VCA I can use the website anyway. (and FWIW, that client didn't work correctly on Windows XP either!). I tried the PC-based In-Home Agent client, sort of seemed to work, but since I didn't have any problems or issues that needed to be fixed I deleted it.
Unless you really need a specific Verizon program, don't worry about it.
And just for completeness, I have not yet found any sofware, fee or free, from anybody, that won't work with FiOS, be it email (Windows Live Mail), browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome), Avast anti-virus, etc, etc, etc. Of course I am sure that there is at least one program out there that won't work, but so far I have not found it
Edit: just saw your reply. I pay for 25 mbs down, 15 mbs up service, and I typically get 24+ down and 23+ up, wired or wireless, from multiple speed test sites, no tuning of Windows 7 on my part. It just works for me; some people do seem to have performance and/or connectivity issues, l don't and I don't know why they do. But one thing I will warn you about is that if you have a cordless phone (2.4 GHz) and you decide to use wireless, you may experience some connectivity problems when using the wireless connection, if you do try changing the channel number in the router to 1, 6, or 11.
Hope this helps.

I bought macbook pro at cash america used and loaded with windows 7 ultimate by boot camp.My questions is it has mountain lion loaded but original ower has name with password so how can I reload so I can sign on as administrator for downloads and upgrades

I bought a 13 inch macbook pro9.2 at Cash America with windows 7 Ultimate with boot camp program.
The Mac op sytem has Mountain Lion installed but the previous ower has his name and password attached to it and can only use as guest.
My question is how do I get around this to be administrator to reload software so i can use mountain Lion,and not loose the windows op .

If you reformat the partition that contain Mountain Lion and reinstall Mountain Lion, it should not effect the Windows pratition.
Have said that I suggest you backup everything you might want to save just in case.

HT1353 How to use older iPod with Windows 7 & latest iTunes?

I have ipod classic 5th generation 30g that still has a lot of my music on it. My computer with iTunes version that synched with it crashed. New VAIO Windows 7 laptop can't recognize the hardware. Where can I get a driver for the VAIO Windows 7? Can I use my iPod with the latest iTunes? Will I ever be able to load new music to this older iPod?

I fixed this by un-installing iTunes. Next installed latest version for 64bit Windows 7. Opened iTunes and connected my iPod to my laptop using the USB cable. The driver was automatically updated and iTunes was able to recognize the older iPod and copied all my purchased music to iTunes on my new VAIO.
Yeaaa!
