Virtual XP Mode Asks for Password after "Could not enable Integration features

With Win7 64 bit professional as the main OS I installed the VM XP Mode several years ago and occasionally when XP is booting up, it asks for a password for the username XPM User. I have never setup passwords for Win 7 or for XP so that the PC simply boots
up into first the Win 7 and then I can choose to boot straight into XP if I wish. On the occasions that XP asks for a password, I have simply closed down and rebooted successfully. Over the past two days I have received a dialog box telling me that the integration
features could not be enabled and on closing that dialog box, I am being asked for a password - which does not exist! As a result, I cannot access the personal finance application that I 've been using for the past 15 years. This is the only application I
run on XP and is the reason the virtual machine is in use.
I read through the existing posts on "could not enable integration features" and none seem to offer much of a solution to me. There is no .vsv file.
How do I access the files that are stored for use with XP?
How can I create a password that XP will accept?

Hi,
When finding the .vsv file, have you unchecked the show hidden files option? Go Control Panel | Folder Options | View and uncheck the option to "hide extensions of known file types" and also enable showing hidden files and folders. The file type is
Virtual Machine Saved State. If it exists, please delete it and restart the XPmode.
Regarding the password issue, have you checked those two threads?
the integration features could not be enabled
Removed XP Mode password in Windows 7 and now cant login
The suggestions is to enter safe mode and make a password reset OR reinstall the intergration features. Please take a check with more suggestions offerred by the folks here.
If the above is not working, then we may consider to backup important files with XPM VHD file via Disk management, and then reinstall Windows XP mode.

Windows XP Mode - Could not enable integration features

Hello! Let me start off with saying that I'm not very computer savvy, so please be gentle! :)
So here my problem. I have scoured forums all morning looking for a solution and have tried many things and nothing has worked yet. I have Windows 7 Pro. I use the Windows VM to run in XP mode so my small business programs will
operate correctly. This morning VM would not open. I click to open Windows VM, it take unusually long to attempt to open. After 5 or so minutes error message - Could not enable integration features with details stating . It gives me
an option to retry or continue. When I hit retry, it does so but the ending result is the same error message. When I click continue it states the operation has failed - the VM is not running.
What I HAVE tried-
-Reboot
-Clicked start>windows virtual pc>open windows virtual pc>right click settings
- From this point I have tried to shut down from the close option as well as uncheck enable integration features at start up. Status is in Hibernation and has not changed.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Bob, I have read as much as I can find on this problem (Enabling Integration Features and having it remain enabled), and your responses are the most straight forward, complete and seem to have helped a number of others. So, I'm adding to this discussion,
instead of starting a new discussion, so that I can get YOUR response.
I am running Windows 7 Professional on a Dell Precision M6500 laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor and 8 Gb of memory. When I first setup the laptop I installed Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode, after downloading from the Microsoft.com
website. While the installation went without an error, getting to use it was a major, and long problem. I have one (very) old planner software app that I've been using since the mid 1980s. Being somewhat stubborn, I refused to change to a newer
app. So, I installed the app under XP Mode (it doesn't run under Windows 7) and it worked fine. I then tried to setup the printer and the Guest PCs drives (some USB). I followed the Microsoft instructions and suggestions I found in forums.
I finally gave up and called and paid for Microsoft tech support. Many weeks and we finally got it working - was able to print to my wireless printer from XP Mode and was able to backup my data to the Host PCs USB drives (I make three copies of the data
on a daily basis, so I actually have 21 copies of the data after a week). When we got it working I never had a problem with Enabling Integration Features, before it would disable Integration Features after I enabled them, repeatedly. Then a Windows
7 upgrade hung - 8 hours and the PC hadn't shut down. I powered off the PC and then powered back up. I got a blue screen error about CPU being too hot and the PC shut down. It was no hotter than usual. Powered up again and all seemed fine, until
I went to start XP Mode and my planner. XP Mode was trashed, wouldn't start. Tried to reinstall and still had the same problem. So, another call to Microsoft Tech support and another fee. Interestingly, the fellow that I worked with this
time as a level higher and knew the first tech I worked with. A few days and XP Mode was back running and the environment was actually as it had been when the PC crashed (the VHD file was still there and had my original environment - settings, programs,
printer and drive mappings - all in place, this file is in the same location as the VSV file).
Long winded background to my current, repeated problem. Integration Features will no longer stay enabled. While I don't recall a "crash" or "hung" PC, my notes are all in that planner app in XP Mode and I can't get to it. So,
I uninstalled VPC and XPM and reinstalled from scratch. Reinstalled my planner app, configured and tested my printer and host drives (didn't map them, just access them from My Computer). Suddenly (as I said, I can't recall anything going wrong to trigger
the repeat of this problem) Integration Features will not enable. I've deleted the VSV file and the problem still exists. Just "Shutdown" XP Mode and 50 Windows XP updates were installed. Then installed 48 updates. It worked for one afternoon and
evening. Booting the laptop this morning and Integration Features again is unstable. One more Windows update was installed. Then I followed your suggested steps:
Delete the" Windows XP Mode.vsv" file in the folder
C:\users\[your user name]\appdata\microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines.
That should then allow XP Mode to start correctly.
Have you uninstalled, rebooted XP, and reinstalled the Integration Components? All of this occurs in XP Mode not on Win7.
1. Uninstall the Integration Components in XP Mode from Add/remove programs
2. Reboot XP Mode
3. Reinstall the Integration Components in XP Mode from WVPC menu.
The laptop is also in the same Workgroup as the Host PC and all the other PCs on my LAN.
Any suggestions?
Where can I find the following folders from XP Mode on the Host PC:
C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser\My Documents
I created folders in both with the backed up data and programs from my planner app and would like to have access to them from the Host PC.
I'm just about at the point of abandoning XP Mode and looking for an alternative Virtual Machine app, just using Outlook, or getting the Outlook app from the original software provider of my planner app. All of these options are less
than ideal, but Microsoft's XP Mode has also become less than ideal.
TIA

XP Mode starts up with "Could not enable integration features" and loads with a blank screen.

The XP Mode virtual machine comes up with a big blue screen with no programs loaded after the "could not enable integration features" dialog box. How to recover?

Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
Worked for me.

Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

How to get Leopard to stop asking for password after waking from sleep mode

My regular userid does not have a password. When I boot the system, it goes directly in without asking for password. However, when Mac wakes from sleep, it asks for password. I just press enter.
Can I do something to make Mac skip over request for password when waking from sleep?
Thanks.
(The Mac is sleeping, not me.)

Open the Security pane of System Preferences and turn that option off.

Ask for password after sleep but not after screen saver

Hi guys!! I have been using a mid 2009 Macbook pro since mid 2009 and obviously am thoroughly satisfied!! I have OS 10.7.4 Lion.
A small glitch that has been nagging me lately is that I have my screensaver set to on before my book goes to sleep. But I don't want it to ask for a password after it comes back from the screensaver. I want it to ask for password only when it comes back from sleep coz I don't shut the system down more than once a month, so only flip the screen shut when my day ends.
So essentially is there a way I can make it as for a password ONLY after it wakes from sleep and NOT after screensaver?

I'm not entirely in love w/ the idea of having to move all my data over to the other account. I might just deal w/ not having the screen saver ask for the pass. One other bit of info that may be helpful: This is the second time having this problem. The first time, it got fixed after the most recent intel osx update. I figured that apple had found a bug and fixed it. Then, w/o shuting down my comp, it failed to ask again. Is there any applications that could be messing this up? Any widgets that might do it?? If not, is there any apps that can switch all my pics/movies, etc over to the other account?

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

I should note that my problem was on Mac.

CS6 Master Collection asking for password after months of use

Why is CS6 now asking for a password again after months of use? I have already entered a valid passwork upon installation. I am running Mountain Lion on a 15" Macbook Pro. I launch Photoshop, and then I get this screen
But I already have a password and have installed CS6 six months ago. Even when I enter the password, it does not stick and I et this dialog box on every launch.

Tom,
Can you provide the AMT3.log for a look , it may help us in knowing the problem.
you can find the file at the below location:-
\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
Also please move the cache.db file to the desktop then launch the software, serialize it with the serial number and then close it and Re-open it.
The location for cache.db file is : Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache

Airport utility asks for password after factory reset of Airport Extreme (spaceship), Why?

Hi, I recently replaced my Airport Extreme (the older model shaped like a space ship, 802.11 b/g) with an Airport Express. I tired to move the spaceship to a different room in my house to extend the wireless network, but it was not being recognized by the Airport Utility (v5.6). So, I did a factory reset of the spaceship. Now I can see it in Airport Utility, however when I try to configure it, the Airport Utility prompts me for a password. It will not accept "public" as the password. Any ideas? Could keychains be the problem? This is a 2009 MBP running 10.8.3.

Great! Thanks for the update.
Out of morbid curiosity I went to my Mountain Lion Mac and downloaded AirPort Utility 5.5.3. I confirmed it will not install on Mountain Lion using OS X's usual package installer, but using the technique that follows I was able to install and run it on Mountain Lion. The only thing I could not verify is its ability to administer an older AEBS since I no longer have any to test.
The remainder of this post is for those who are willing to circumvent Apple's desire to use only current versions of AirPort Utility for reasons known only to them. Proceed only if you accept this as an unsupported workaround strictly for the purposes of administering an older Extreme on a newer Mac.
Prerequisites: A package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg will be required. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.5.3 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1390
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
After the .dmg file finishes downloading double-click it to mount the volume containing the metapackage. Control-click it and select Open With > Pacifist from the contextual menu:
You will get the following dialog:
The "unidentified developer" in this case is Apple. Click Open to open Pacifist.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility.app and select it.
The next steps are important.
Select Extract To... from the toolbar as in the above screenshot. In the dialog that follows, choose Desktop since otherwise you will overwrite your existing, newer version of AirPort Utility in your Utilities folder which should not be deleted. Restoring it may not be trivial.
Authenticate, allow Pacifist to extract the app, then you can quit Pacifist.
You will now have AirPort Utility version 5.5.3 on your Desktop. Before you attempt to copy it to your Utilities folder though, be sure to rename it accordingly:
You can then drag it to your Utilities folder. Authenticate, and you will have it alongside later versions where they can peacefully coexist:
Use the newest version AirPort Utility to administer current production AirPort Base Stations, and older versions only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.

Screensaver always asks for password after wake

Since the update to 10.5.3, my screensaver always asks me for my password after I wake up my iMac. I have disabled the setting in the system preferences, but the password-prompt still shows up. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance!

Ipad keeps asking for password after I enter it on WIFI?

So I just updated, OOPS! I now can't connect to wifi or anything that asks for a password it seems because the prompt to enter password keeps popping up as if I didn't just type it in.

Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or the account may have become full, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

Gmail keeps asking for password after iOS5 Upgrade

I have an iPhone 4 that I upgraded to iOS 5 last night. It now keeps asking me for my Gmail password.
This isssue is already under discussion here - http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=7059ec7762111ada&hl=en
I've deleted my Gmail account and tried to add it back, yet it keeps giving me the bad password error. I've reset my password on Google mail and issue persists even when trying to use new password. Any ideas?
Corbin

So I removed the buggy GMail account from Mail and waited a day. Today I decided to re-add it and all was well for one hour until the pop up for passwords happened again... I went into Preferences and accounts and saw my password wasn't stored so I added it and saved but still same issue.
Also I added this account to my iPhone and it was working fine til an hour again so maybe a syncing issue?

Keeps asking for password after I have logged in--Why?

I keep my Mail program on all of the time. But several times per day it will ask me to log in with PW. If I ignore this and cancel, then tell it to go on line with all mail addresses it works fine for some time. Then it starts over with asking for PW. I have DSL and am on line 24/7.
Any suggestions?

External hard drive asks for password and does not mount on desktop

Hello all,
I bought a portable FireWire external hard drive to connect to my iMac G4. When connecting via FireWire, a message window appears telling me that the external disk is password protected and prompts me to type a password. Neither typing my administrator password nor activating the checkbox "Temporarily remove protection" and clicking the Unlock button is successfull: the hard drive does not appear on the desktop but it is listed in the System Profiler under Fire Wire Bus. I tried the external drive on an iMac G5 where it works without any problem. So what shall I do? Does anybody know an issue to this? I will be glad for every answer.

Have you written any data to the external drive? If not, perhaps you could add some data.
Are you using filevault?
You could reformat it in disk utilities.
Here is the path...
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
It may be a problem with accessing the drive from different users, I could not recreate the problem with different users on my machine. I have only one machine with firewire.
