VM Fusion: will these XP disks work?

I have two Windows XP Home SP1a disks. Only of them says" "Only for distribution with an HP or Campaq PC The other says, "Microsoft Windows XP Critical Security Updates. Each has a barcode with 9 digits. A third disk is the Windows XP pro upgrade with its product key. All disks were used on a compaq laptop I purchased in 2004 and which was recently stolen. Will these disks work with VMFusion on a new Powerbook Pro 2.4 GHz? Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks all for your responses. it turns out I have 3 different PC OS's
1) a Windows 98 install disk (I think from a Dell I bought several years ago)
2) XP SP 1a that came with the Compaq plus security updates
3) XP Pro Upgrade (on the box it says for users of Windows 98, XP Home and others.
Do you think I should start with using the Windows 98, then use the upgrade to XP Pro?

  • Will these printers & scanners work?

    I've several friends who praise Leopard and urge me to upgrade, but reading the many complaints about non-functioning printers & MFPs worries me since I have a home business, and if I can't print, copy and scan, I'm out of business. So my question is, will these printer work with a dual Mac G5 2.3 silver tower:
    HP Laserjet 5025 MFP ( print and scan to email )
    HP Laserjet 1200 ( print )
    Epson Stylus Photo R200 ( print both paper and CDs )
    All input gratefully appreciated!

    If not fully, they should be supported at least on some basic level. The CUPS printer drivers that come with OS X have drivers for the laserjet 1200 and stylus photo R200. They dont have specific drivers for the 5025 scanner, but those should be available from HP, with leopard support soon if they're not already out with it.

  • Will these software packages work with Tiger?

    I'm wanting to upgrade my old iMac G4 from Jaguar (10.2.8) to Tiger but have some software I want to continue working after the update, I'm pretty sure everything will be okay, but I'm just wanting to make sure.
    These programs came preinstalled on the iMac:
    iPhoto v2.0.1
    iMovies v3.0.3
    iDVD v3.0.1
    AppleWorks 6.2.4 (for OS X)
    These programs I have bought myself:
    FinalCut Express v1.0
    Adobe Photoshop Elements v2.0
    I also have an old version of Quark Xpress v4.0 that runs in the classic environment, will this still work okay?
    Message was edited by: Izak86

    To add to what BDAqua said, all PowerPC Macs running 10.4.11 "have" Classic, but not all have the ability to run it right away. To determine if yours has it, go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic.
    If there is no Classic panel, then you may not have a PowerPC Mac and will have to use a newer version of Quark that works on Intel Macs.
    If there is a Classic panel but no System Folder inside the Classic panel from which to load it, you'll have to restore it or install it depending on the age of the machine.
    Macs made from August 2002 to January 2006 on come with their own restore discs to follow these directions to install Classic:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
    Macs made August 2001 to July 2002 require you use the gray 9 installer disc that shipped with it to install 9 and upgrade to 9.2.2 if necessary from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288
    for the best Classic compatibility.
    If you are missing the restore discs, call AppleCare:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    Macs made July 2001 and earlier can use the 9.2.1 retail installer disc to install Mac OS 9 and then install 9.2.2 from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288
    A bare minimum of 9.1 is needed to run Classic.

    Sorry, NO these will not working your computer. Even if you found a compatible MXM HP graphics card, you would still need to replace the CPU heatsink/fan assembly to one designed for use with the additional GPU.

  • If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

    I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade".  Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion?  Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!!  It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old)  (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose. 
    I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product.  Now I get slapped in the face, HARD.  Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products.  I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone.  and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer.  Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps.  What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people.  The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion".  At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form.  "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species.  Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly.  Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs.  I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
    I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.  
    Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY? 
    Also, off my wagon and back to my question;  will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"?  Thanks!

    I went to that page.  Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer.  I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine).  I could live with what it says.  I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime.  Why that works, I have no idea.  I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
    This community is a life saver for me.  I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs.  All my problems have been solved by you great people!  And I thank you !
    My present concern is:  I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer????  Photoshop users?????
    Geniuses????  If you know, please help me out here.  I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!)  VISTA,  and I cannot !!!!  Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud??????  Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers????  HELP!!!!

  • Running windows virtual. Will thunderbolt ethernet adapter work?

    Hi
    I need to program SIEMENS PLC. I want to buy a mba but this program (step 7 tia portal) only runs on windows. so I want to run it in virtual mode (parallel or virtualbox vw ware fusion.. w/e). The older plc's can be programmed with a usb connection but this connection (usb) will work in windows virtual mode right?
    but here's the deal, the newer plc's can ONLY be programmed with a internet connection. so I need to give my virtual windows 7 a static ip address before I can connect with my plc.
    will these both connections work? I need to know before I buy one.. and everyone gives me different answers..
    thnx alot.
    ps: sorry for bad english

    Here is a screen shot from VMware. This is accessible from the Settings ->  Network Adapter -> Network Adapter Settings...
    If you click on the TB Ethernet, radio button (as highlighted by the box), it will prompt you for the Administrative password and then create a virtual bridge interface using this physical connection.

  • Will my programs still work when upgrading to 10.6?

    I am using a MacPro with 10.5 and I want to upgrade to 10.6 but the thing is that I have some programs that I use continuously but I didn't pay for them (if you know what I mean...). Will these programs still work when I upgrade to 10.6?

    10.6 is Intel only. To continue the use of older non-Intel software, that software must work with Rosetta emulation (which almost evrything does). Be sure that when you are installing 10.6, the option to add Rosetta emulation to Mac OS X 10.6 is selected.
    I do not know what you mean by your comments, but if this computer is being used for Business purposes, you are taking a huge risk that someone can come after you Business profits.

  • The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive.  I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

    Hi Samcat,
    You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
    Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!

  • Will a 3" disk (containing an antenna driver) work in a MacBook internal disk drive?

    Will a 3" disk (containing an antenna driver) work in a MacBook internal disk drive?

    Slot loading machines can only handle 4.72" (120mm) standard CD disks. Any other size will simply get stuck in the drive and be really hard to get out. Your best bet is to find someone with a tray loading CD drive and have them copy the driver over to a USB thumb drive or a standard size CD.

  • I am considering purchasing a new Mac desktop. I have, at present, a Liteon 851S ext CD/DVD write and a Maxtor 3200 USB ext hard drive. Will these work with a Mac desktop? My local Apple store could not answer my question.Happy New year to all.

    Yes the Mac can read that drive but you would need to Copy the data off of it to the Mac as apposed to Move, which implies Deleting them from the drive as they were transferred from the external to the Mac. Since the Mac can Not Write to NTFS drives it can't Delete anything as that is really a Write operation, IE Making changes to the NTFS formatted drive.
    Once you have that Data on Both your New Mac and you Older Windows PC you can format that drive to work on both system.
    If you want to and plan on doing that post back and I'll explane how, it is simple but should be done on a Windows PC.
    If you only plan on using it on the Mac from now on that is fairly simple also and is done on the Mac, Once you have the files from it stored on the Mac.
    Yes you could burn those photos to DVD but that is just a waste of DVDs, you don't need to.
