What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

Thanks for the help. I got the Task Manager thru the taskbar, but I was and still am trying to it by key entry because that is what I am used to. My MBP has a delete key, unlike other keystroke attempt that I have
tried where a delete key isn't on a Mac. I also am a retired enggggineeeer so there's bound to be confusion because I am left-handed too.
Thanks again !!!!

How do I get Windows XP into my MacBook Pro?

Guys and Girls - please don't laugh at me. I'm new to the Mac domain and I'm finding it very hard to get motivated to use my new MacBook Pro more. I purchased it to run LogicPro 7, because I'm a musican and like to produce music. I'm doing that very well now; but, want to run Microsoft office software e.g. Words, Excel, etc. and I'm not quiet sure how to get those applications into the Mac. I've purchased Parallels (got the info about it from this forum) and loaded it on my MacBook. Installing Parallels placed an icon on the desktop. Now what do I do? What do I have to buy now? I assume there is a version of Windows XP for the MacBook. I just would like to be able to exchange Microsoft documents between my Vaio 505EL laptop and in general use my Mac more. I'm ready to spread my wings. (smile)
Thanks all in advance.
P.S. I did look for a string on this topic, but didn't see anything.
You are all so advanced in the Mac world, I ashamed to have to post this to this.

You need a copy of Windows XP on a disk(preferably a unregistered copy, but as long as your not using both at the same time...PC and Mac...do the math)
Along with this you also need the Office software you want.
Parallels has a really good section on the manual that explains how to create your first VM(virtual machine)...suggest just following those directions and maybe giving it a slightly bigger partition size(default is 8GB...I would use 12-16GB)...once you have the VM created then you just need to follow the directions for installing the operating system into that VM from the Parallels manual. (its actually quiet easy to follow)
Once you have the OS installed and then you just run the VM and then installing PC software is pretty just like any other PC. Some games and other apps(Win Office is not one of them) require physical devices...i.e. Video card & drivers, to run..in paricular games. I am running a parallels vm with XP Pro and it actually seems to run better than my VAIO laptop 2.8Ghz laptop.
Good luck

I want to get Windows 8 for my MacBook Pro (late 2011) using Boot Camp, but I have lost my installation disk for my windows. What should I do?

Please hep me.

I am fine byuying a copy of WIndows 8 but where would I buy it? Also I was wondering wether I would be able to do this without using a disk, solely online, because my boot camp says insert disk.

I want to get windows vista on the macbook pro with retina display but my first question is this that how do i install it without using a DVD OR CD disk drive, and my second question while installing windows vista do i have to tick mark the install win 7

hello i have a few problems and i hope somebody has a solution my first problem is that how can i install windows vista without using a disk drive and my second problem is that should i tick mark the option which says Install windows 7 while using boot camp please reply, Thanks,

When running Windows in a virtual environment Windows and OSx share your computer's resources such as RAM. Therefore your games can not use all your computer's resources when running.
If you install Windows natively then Windows and your games can and do use all your computer's resource such as RAM.
But as already said, older operating systems are not supported and will not run natively using Boot Camp Assistant. You must use Windows 7 if installing natively in Lion or Moubtain Lion.

Using Windows 8 with my macbook pro

Hello,
I currently have a problem to install Windows 8.
Last week, I bought a Windows' 8 license.
The configuration of my macbook pro is the following :
- i7 2,3 Ghz (four cores)
- 8 Gb of RAM
- A 256 Go SSD
- A 750 Go Hybrid-disc
- OS X 10.8.2
So I removed the Superdrive but I bought an ASUS external USB disc-drive (witch works with OS X)
I inserted the Windows 64 bits disc in the USB drive and I created a 50 Go partition for Windows on the SSD (FAT) with Bootcamp.
After this process, my macbook reboot but it bloked on the PC's shell interface without message, just the cursor (Right-Top).
I tried to reboot many times and to use the 32 bits disc but it is alredy the same.
I also tried to boot using the "C" key, the CD boot, i can see the fourth blue square on the screen, and durind 2 or 3 second the charging animation but after it says that there is an error (new blue screen very very quickly), or a black screen with somes information like "Error 00000050x0...".
However, I tried the alt key. 2 solutions :
- "Windows 8", it is like the first situation (black screen with sursor)
- "EFI boot" (it appeared once), the computer boot on the CD, I can acces to menus and tell the name of the hard disc I want for the installation. But when I want to continue, a window appear with a EFI problem and he says to reboot with a different configuration (but I am not sur).
What can I do to install windows 8 on my macbook pro ?
I need it for Solidworks...
Thank you for your answers.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

FireFox is the best internet navigator so far, but starting from this date of July 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and stop using FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows Task Manager. Goodbye FF.

I have been using FF for the last 8 years. Starting from today of July the 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and say goodbye to FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows task manager.

I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found...

My Firefox continues to stall a lot and Window Task Manager shows that Firefox is using a lot of memory (600,000k +) What can I do to make this stop stalling?

I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory. When it does that I can't do anything unless I just use the power button to shut the computer down or use the task manager to "End Process". I do not like to do either of these so I usually just sit and wait for it to fix itself then later it does it all over again.
Also when I was doing defrag on the file type tab it showed two Mozilla Firefox so I am wondering if this is the issue but I only see one in the control panel.

Flash Player - Windows 7 - 2 Processes in Windows Task Manager - Slowing performance?

Hello...I was hoping someone could help me fix this issue. I live on my computer for work so this affects me daily and has for many, many, many months. Firefox works great until Flash Player launches and then everything I do in my browser slows down to a speed similar to a turtle in a chess match. When I go into the Windows Task Manager to close the Flash Player process so I can, for example, browse a text-only page or fill out a discussion question form on Adobe's forum page without 5 to 10 second delays between instructions (moving the mouse, clicking on something in the browser, typing etc.), I find not one but two processes in the Windows Task Manager. I assume there should only be 1 process and was wondering if it was something I could fix on my machine somewhere other than doing it 15 times a day using Windows Task Manager to stop the process(es) so my machine will work properly.
I highly suspect it is the Flash Player that causes the issue as every single time I kill the process, my machine works like it is supposed to (fast etc.). As soon as the Flash Player Plugin process(es) starts everything comes to a crawl. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I use the latest version of Firefox, the latest version of Flash Player, Windows 7 Professional (latest updates installed), I eat right, get good sleep, give to charity, and love my mom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!

CS5- CS6 upgrade hangs, locks windows task manager, does nothing else

Got the CS6 Design Standard Upgrade, hoping to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium. Could that be the problem? I don't need everything in Premium and this stuff is ridiculously expensive.
Anyway, I put the disk in, nothing happens. I run set-up.exe, the disk spins up, then nothing continues to happen. I've watched it for up to 5 minutes and nothing.
Set-up.exe is not in Applications, but it is in Processes in windows task manager. However, there is no actual activity at all. When I try to end the process, WTM locks up. I have to either hard reboot or eject the disk in order to recover.
What gives? I can post PDApp.log if need be, but I don't know how much help it'll be.
W7 Pro 64bit

Unfortunately, I don't really *know* if there are any helpful errors listed because the only way to get the update to stop is to eject the disk, which I'm sure puts errors in there. For example, here are the last 5 lines from the log, from the last time I tried to upgrade:
1/30/2013 15:55:40 [INFO] Setup - TimeLog: Start initial checks
1/30/2013 15:55:40 [INFO] Setup - Dictionary Path: K:\Adobe CS6\resources\Dictionary\en_US\stringTable.zdct
1/30/2013 15:57:54 [FATAL] Setup - Setup.xml does not exist.
1/30/2013 15:57:54 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. File missing.
1/30/2013 15:58:02 [INFO] Setup - ================= End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 0 =================
Everything above that is just [INFO]. K: is my optical drive, and I'm guessing 15:57:54 is when I ejected the disk.
Those are the only errors I really see.

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

Commit in Windows Task Manager

Hello,
We are running an IDES EHP4 system on Windows 2008 R2/SQL Server 2008 R2 in a virtual machine (created with VMWare Player 3.1.3). When we look at the system commit in Windows Task Manager, we see that the commit is limited to 4 GB, despite the fact that the swap space is set to 10 GB (we didn't set this to 20 GB because the system is only installed for demo purposes). We made tests with VM RAM sizes of 1024 and 2048 MB, and each time the commit is limited to 4 GB. Is there a Windows/VMWare/... parameter that limits this usage ?
Kind regards,
Christophe

Hello Christophe,
OS, DB and SAP are 64bit in the VM. But the physical host is 32bit.
This is not possible. You cannot run 64 Bit OS on 32 Bit hardware.
I also don't understand what you mean with "commit". You cannot configure more memory than 4 GB for the Virtual Machine?
Kind regards,
Matthias
