Using Older Version Flight Sims on a Pavilion Dv7-4177nr by installing Windows XP

Does anyone or has anyone installed Windows XP in a partition to play older games?...if so I would love to hear from you on how to go about doing this...I have already backed up my software on DVD-R disks just in case and have an old XP disk to install...I have heard that this is feasible and have seen where it is offered on Microsoft but they want 200 bucks to up-grade from Windows7 Home Premium (64) to Windows7 Professional...

What you should consider is virtualization software if your nptebook processor has the capability and it is enabled. It is much less hassle than a laptop dual boot. With virtualization you won't lose your recovery partition.
I did a search for free virtualization software for you. You .will have to do a bit of reading to learn how to configure it or find a youtube video that shows how it is done.
With virtualization there is no need to change your hard disk partition.
It is worthwhile to read up and see if it is what will fill your needs.

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Hello Everyone. I have an older version of aperture, aperture 2, that I wanted to install on my MAC. I attempted the installation, and during the install there was a check to see if my computer was capable of installing the software, which it was.

Using the touch pad on my new pavilion dv7-6b50ea

hi, can anyone tell me how the touch pad switches on and off,and if it is possible to scoll using the touch pad on my new pavilion dv7-6b50ea

Did you try '''Ctrl'''+'''0''' (zero) to reset the zoom.
You did that with by holding the control key and scrolling on the right edit of the pad, which is equivalent to Ctrl+scrollwheel on the mouse.
Ctrl+0 to restore zoom to normal (Ctrl+- zooms out, Ctrl++ zooms in )
The problem with the Zoom toolbar buttons (+ and -) builtin to Firefox 4 is that there is no way to zoom directly to normal (100%) nor even tell what zoom level you are at.
For more control over zooming things see these [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#zoom zoom links]
To set the zoom permanently on a per site basis, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension, which optionally remembers on a per site basis.

No sound from right speaker on Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8

I've had no sound from right speaker on my HP Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8. I've checked all drivers, and have done the sound test in sound properties (left speaker beeps fine, but then nothing from the right). Anyone else having this problem/found a solution?!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59154.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio in both speakers.

DP-K

Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

Using older version as default

Hi!
I installed CS5.5 and kept older version CS4 on my mac.
Now I can't change CS4 as a default application on my .indd files,
I have tried using command+i -> CS4 and also an app called "RCDefaultApps 2.1" with no help.
Every time I double click an -indd-file it opens in CS5.5. Same problem with Acrobat Pro, always opens in Acrobat X, but I want to use Acrobat 9 as a default (because of plug-ins).
Only way to get this work is to change file type associations in Bridge, but it only works when the Bridge is running. And I just don't want to use Bridge...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Tuomo

Flash CS3 Mac/Win Projector Publishing - Using older version of Flash

Hi,
How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)!
One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?
This is what I have on my first frame (using AS2), is any of this suspect to older versions of Flash? :
<code as2>
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
fscommand("allowscale", false);
        trace("This is a " + System.capabilities.os + " system.");
var os:String = System.capabilities.os.substr(0, 3);
        if (os == "Win") {
          trace("Windows-specific code goes here");
        } else if (os == "Mac") {
          trace("Mac-specific code goes here");
        } else {
          trace("Must be Unix or Linux");
var videoStartNumber:Number =0;
var originalMenu:Number = 1;
_root.menu1_1.onRelease = function() {videoStartNumber = 1; gotoAndPlay(5);}
_root.menu1_2.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 3; gotoAndPlay(3);}
_root.menu1_3.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 4; gotoAndPlay(4);}
_root.menu1_4.onRelease = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);}
_root.exitButton.onRelease = function() {fscommand("quit");}
stop();
</code as2>
But even if something on this project wouldn't work on an older version than 9.0.115.0 then it shouldn't matter as the Projector will always use the embedded Flash player, not the player installed on the computer, right?
Really would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
PJ

Please, can someone help me?
Our client is getting frustrated and I'm out of ideas as to what's wrong with the Projector executable! Why would it give white screen on launch on some systems and not on others?
Sincerely,
PJ Palomaki

Using older version of itunes, apple support #'s

Force using older versions JRE & Java Plug-in as default version from IE

We have a web application that relies on JRE on client machines. It works properly with verion 1.4.2.xxx. Recently some of the users got updated to Version 1.5.0 automatically (auto-update feature). Now the web application doesn't work as expected on those machines.
I want to know if there is any specific way I can force a machine to use an older version as a default version i.e. without completely removing the new version.
I already tried various tricks like changing registry settings, Env Variables, etc. The default version changes when accessed through command prompt (java -version), but when I go back to the web page, it still loads the New version.
Appreciate your advise. Thanks.

Hi,
I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue. I am having a simlar issue where we have 3 JRE versions on our terminal server.
1.4.2
1.5.9
1.6.3
But we would like the browsing JRE to remain using 1.4.2.
An ideas would be great .
Thanks

Can't use older versions of Skype anymore?

Alright, so I hate when things update, and usually I just put up with it for new innovative features. I was very content with Skype 5, and the upgrade to 6.0 was frustrating, but I dealt with it. Never at any point during my use of 6 did I prefer it to 5, even as time went on.
Finally, we get to today. I was forced to download Skype 7, and it is the most horrible, buggy, frustrating thing ever. I can barely do anything without it randomly freezing, or spiking in memory usage. I'm using the right version for my computer, my computer is very up to date on hardware, and I've had no software problems with ANY other program to this magnatude. And that's BESIDE the fact that Skype 7 just looks DISGUSTING. The organization of my recent messages and contacts is downright attrocious and I can barely keep my recent replies in check.
The worst part is that I can't downgrade to a better version. After STRUGGLING to find an older version, it just tells me that Skype can't connect. Are you serious? I'm being FORCED to use this useless piece of junk? I've used a LOT of Skype (at least 5 hours a day daily since I got it.) And I think this is the last straw for me. I don't know what to do, I can't use this version, it's terrible.
The question I'm posing in this thread, is how do I use an older version of Skype. If the answer is "I don't." Then I'm uninstalling and never coming back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem. This morning my skype decided it was time to update itself. Even though (of course), it shouldn't even check for updates or ask me to update. Or at least these are my settings...
However, this has happened before. But before, when skype updated, I could just uninstall it and install the version that I want to (keeping an exe with the proper version always did the trick). The things is that when I tried to install my older version after uninstalling, skype installer says that servers are down. Meaning that skype has stopped working with these older versions. They are now forbidden to install (even if you find an installer somewhere and OldVersion and OldApps have stopped support for skype).
I am seriously considering forgetting about skype and using an alternative. Some people have mentioned the emoticons and the general layout of the new version that disgusts them. But I will also add that the way we used to send pictures over skype is now changed. And it's horrible! Sending a link with the shared photo is just waste of time. You'd need to open a browser, log in, open the photo and download it just so you can have it on your computer (wtf??). Adding to this is the decrease of its quality and resolution and the missing name of the picture.
Thank you for reading (a potato).
