Which Virtual PC version do I need ?

Decided that the easiest way to solve the problem of running a PC CD is to get a copy of Virtual PC. As I use Tiger as the O/S does the Virtual PC have to be 'OSX Tiger' specific or will an earlier version work ?
Thanks
Brian

You will want Virtual PC 7.0.2 or later.
I remember using Virutal PC 7.0 when I was using OS 10.3.9, and it worked flawlessly.
When I upgraded to OS 10.4 Tiger, several features were broken. Microsoft acknowledged the problem, and promised a free update.
It took them a couple of months to get the update out, but when they finally did, everything worked perfectly fine again.
The older versions will work, but you will have some "issues" with them.
I remember that on my system, the features that would not work (properly) with OS 10.4 and Virtual PC 7.0 were Windows sounds, shared networking, and a couple of other small items.
So, go for 7.0.2 or later.
If you buy 7.0, you can download the 7.0.2 update from Microsoft's website.
Don't buy anything prior to version 7 though. With version 7, you can upgrade to 7.0.2 for free. But, if you buy a version 6.x, then you'll have to buy the 7.0 upgrade as well.

  • Which Microsoft Windows version do I need for v10.7.5?

    I need to install MSFT Windows for a tool I need to use for research purposes (it only works on Windows)
    Question: Which Microsoft Windows version is compatible with my Macbook air version?
    The good part is I can get any version of Microsoft OS coz my friend works there.
    -- Just need to know which version and bit I need that would work with my current OS.
    Thank you ahead of time for the help!

    Sorry, I mis-read the question.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Which 5.o version do I need to download

    Just got a new computer.  Putting Desktop Manager on and clicked update button.  I had 4.3, newest version is 5.0, but there are a bunch of different versions.  some with Media Manager.  Which one do I need.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Your basic choice is languange and Media Manager -- both of which depend on your needs. For instance, if you want English with Media Manager, then you'd download:
     Desktop Manager 5.0.0 B28 English - With Media Manager
    File name: 500_b028_english.exe
    File size: 222.082 MB
    Date posted: 17-Jul-09
    Download Software
    If you need multi-language without Media Manager, then you'd download:
    Desktop Manager 5.0.0 B28 Multilanguage - Without Media Manager
    File name: 500_b028_multilanguage_nomediamanager.exe
    File size: 124.079 MB
    Date posted: 17-Jul-09
    Download Software
    The stuff further down the page are subsets of the full DTM package -- USB/Modem drivers (with different languages), Device Manager only (with languages), etc. Stick with the Desktop Manager selections at the top of the list and you will get all that you need.

    Went into Device Manager and firstly uninstalled the MTP Device under Windows Portable Devices.
    Connected Zen again, went into Device Manager again, right clicked on the MTP device and clicked on Update Driver.
    The Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update then detected my device and installed.

    On the second question.
    AIM 5.9 to iChat can be made to work (not AIM 6.0)
    Trillian on a PC can be successful to iChat.

  • If java6update29 is incompatable with the current firefox, which version do I need and how do I get it?

    I have the current version of firefox. When I checked my plug-ins on firefox it said Java was outdated. So I updated it and now firefox has disabled it because it is not compatible. So do I now have to take off this version Of java? which version do I need and where do I get it?

    Firefox automatically disables only Java Console; see info below on Java Console
    See the following article
    *https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Add-ons%20are%20disabled%20after%20updating%20Firefox
    '''<u>Java Console</u>'''<br />
    Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:

  • Report which shows to which Financial Statement Version belong the account.

    Dear All,
    In transaction FSE3 I can see all accounts in Financial Statement Version, but I need vice versa:
    for given account I need to know if the account is in the Financial Statement Version (also which area of it).
    Is there any report to get this?
    Many thanks for Your help!
    Best regards,
    Maria

    the financial statement positions are stored in table FAGL_011ZC. The problem is that intervals are stored here, not single values. So, if you don't find a single value, it still can be contained in an interval. On the other hand one G/L account can be in any number of FSVs.

  • Which Weblogic server installation do I need??

    I need to download and install Oracle 11g Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0) for Windows 7 Professional. On its main page, Oracle says that I have to download and install Weblogic Server before I can install Forms 11g. When I go to Weblogic Server download page, I see two versions: The package installer (815 MB), and the net installer (40 MB). Which one of them do I need for my purpose? Also, do I need something else (other than the database ofcourse and the Weblogic Server) to download and install before putting Forms 11g?
    Thanks

    When I go to Weblogic Server download page, I see two versions: The package installer (815 MB), and the net installer (40 MB)?
    Both Installer will do the same thing....You can choose any one of them
    *"Package Installer":* It's Size will be always much more than the Net-Installer....If you want to Once download the Installer in your PC and then want to run it in separate Boxes again & Again where u may not have Internet connectivity ...then you need to choose "Package Installer". When you run the Package installer, you can also select the specific product components you want to install, thereby also enabling you to minimize the installation footprint.
    Downloading the Package installer is recommended if you want to perform multiple WebLogic Server installations at your site. In a typical scenario, you download the Package installer only once, then make it available to each machine on which you wish to have the product installed. (You can run the installer from each machine directly over the local network, or copy the installer onto each machine and run it.)
    *"Net Installer":* If you want to install the WebLogic and donot want the Installer keeo with you for future use...This is good. It has 40 MB size ...because this 40MB installer will start Downloading rest of the part of the complete installer from the Oracle N/W on the fly. Unlike the Net installer, the Package installer does not provide for any reduction in download time or the amount of disk space required for the installation files.
    Thanks

  • Which mac os install disck I need to buy?

    hello chaps,
    I just replace my imac's harddrive and I need to install mac os again, however I lost my orignal installation disk, after some googling, I am pretty much sure I need to buy a retail version installation disk, however I am not sure which version exactly I need.
    my imac is EMC 2390,  so I think it's a iMac "Core i5" 2.8 27-Inch (Mid-2010) version, I wanna to use OS X Mavericks, but I guess I still need to install the old version mac os first right? (I guess is snow leopard?)
    Many thanks!

    Was your old Hard Drive still working?
    If so, put it into a USB enclosure or get a universal drive adapter so that you can boot from it.
    If you were on Snow Leopard, startup holding the Option key and navigate to Disk Utility. From there you can setup the new HD and then Restore the OS X from your old hard drive to the new hard drive.
    If you were already on Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks startup holding the Option key and startup into the Recovery Partition, then setup and restore or reinstall OS X on you new hard drive.

  • I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need?

    I'm running CS4 and use a Canon T3i to shoot RAW. Which camera raw patch do I need? I get his error when trying to install the latest patch: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again."

    If the camera is newer than the last version of Camera Raw that was released for an older version of Photoshop, you won't be able to get direct, convenient "open file" support for the raw files.
    You can check per these links:
    Minimum Camera Raw version required for a particular camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw versions available for update with various Photoshop releases:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Just glancing at those links, Photoshop CS4 can update to only as far as Camera Raw 5.7.  Unfortunately, the minimum required version to work with your T3i is Camera Raw 6.4.
    Your fallback position will be to either convert your raw files to DNG format with the latest free DNG converter release, or get a newer version of Photoshop.  The later has an advantage in that there have been substantial improvements to Camera Raw in recent releases.

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    compatible with mozilla 8 or 9.,what version do i need to download of mozilla edit

    You could use firefox 3.6, which is old but still supported and secure. However the best solution is to give up on using Google Toolbar because Google no longer support it with firefox, mainly because it has little to offer.
    You can still save google bookmarks by copying them into Firefox. Please have a look at
    * [[google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox]] <-- clickable link -- <br> which may help with some ideas and proposed solutions.
    I am hoping the Norton report you refer to merely says your system has vulnerabilities, rather than that it has an actual infection (or that it has dealt with or quarantined any malware).
