Using windows XP with intel Imac

I recently used bootcamp to create a windows partition on my imac. Everything works fine except the windows side doesen't recognize the imac's built in speakers. I'm not much of a computer wiz, so I need help! Anyone?

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

How can I use windows software on the IMac

How can I use windows software on my iMac? I know I can partition the hard drive but do I need to buy Windows OS?

You can use Boot Camp, which comes with your Mac and install a copy of Windows on a new partition, or you can use a virtual application like Parallels.

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

I tried rebooting. It didn't change anything.

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
Thanks in advance.

A little solution that has helped me.
install both
Notebook Hardware Control (NHC)
http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download
Notebook Hardware Control has a Max Battery setting when you right click on it's icon in the notification section on the task bar (lower right). Make sure to apply this setting.
and as suggested by Kappy
Input Remapper
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top?

Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top? Our monitor screen is going out and would like to have another option then replacing the whole thing! I think A LCD TV would be less expensive than the repairs to our iMac.( OS 10.6.8 )

Yes, but we need to know exactly which year model you have? So that we can advise you on exactly which adapter you need for you iMac.
see > How to identify iMac models
Plus, adding that Computer Monitors make better displays than TVs and comparatively cost a little less than TVs.
For examples of monitors that have both DVI and VGA inputs:

Problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?

Has anybody experienced problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?
Lacking any "forbidden" or "appropriate usage" guidelines, I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer file from the desktop. I have occasionally sensed that this might be wrong. Today I inadvertently clicked the MAC harddrive instead of the Desktop (within Windows Explorer) and caused all manner of mischief.
Any other views please?

Let me correct this:

Any ideas please Virtual PC VPC users?

Is there an adapter that lets you use iPhone earbuds with an iMac?

I have big heavy uncomfortable headphones with a mic that I use for gaming on my iMac.
I'd rather use the earbuds from my iPhone.
Is there an adapter that lets you use iPhone earbuds with an iMac?

I got the splitter, (see link below), but the mic does not seem to work. Apparently, there's a difference between a mic port and a line-in port. Mic ports are powered by the computer, line-in ports are not. They expect a powered signal to come from the input device. The iMac has a line-in port.
I downloaded an app called Line-in that is supposed to give back the ability to use unpowered mics with Macs that lost the abiliy after a system update. It did not work for me. I guess my iMac never had the ability to use unpowered mics.
So I ordered the USB Stereo Audio Adapter below. It's basically a sound card that plugs into a USB port and will work with an unpowered mic. It has not arrived yet. I'll let you know how it goes.

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday). I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take. I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit). I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first. Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

HT3986 when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

Use InputRemapper
This is one or only utility I know, there are I am sure one or two others.
And the weakest link in running Windows on Mac: lack of thermal/SMC fan control to manage air flow and heat!
