Will downloading and installing on an existing Windows partition work?

Thanks to a computer information systems class I have, I'm able to get a downloadable copy of Vista (I can get 7 as well, but I hear that Apple doesn't officially support 7 at this time, not to mention the horror stories of drivers not working properly). I have 2 questions regarding this:
1. Can I download and install Vista on my Windows partition?
2. Did Snow Leopard improve the Boot Camp drivers so I won't be seeing things like BSDs or having the fan turning on full blast after a few minutes?
Any and all answers/input is appreciated! Thanks!

Don't forget about me! :O

    As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number.  If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

  • Unable to download and install Adobe FlashPlayer on Windows Vista 32(I think) Using Firefox Browser.

    I have tried approximately thirteen times to download Adobe Flashplayer, and it is not working!!!! I am using a Windows Vista 32(I think it is 32) and using Mozilla Firefox as the browser, but it keeps saying it is unable to install and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work!!!! I had it on this computer before now, but i had to get it sent into the shop to get worked on and they got rid of it, and now it will not download or install on my computer. Please help! oh, and im not all that great on computers so it is aggravating me and making me want to throw my laptop that something i have done before is deciding not to work.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save link as".
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the file to your Downloads folder.
    Open your Control Panel and click Uninstall A Program under Programs and Features.
    Uninstall the Flash Player plugin from the list.
    Close the Control Panel, reboot and run the installer from your Downloads folder.

  • Does re-downloading and installing Mavericks retain existing files, apps etc.

    I have a fully functioning Macbook Pro but email has become unstable.  I want to reinstall email but I believe I need to reinstall the complete OS.  If I re-download Mavericks and install it, will my existing files, apps etc. be retained ?
    thanks

    Yes, your existing files will be retained ... assuming all goes well!
    Of course, you should have a complete, thorough backup before attempting a re-install.  Hopefully you will not need to use it.

  • Downloaded and installed on my HP desk top works fine, tried to do the same on my Toshiba laptop will not work and can't close without restarting PC.

    I have been using the Beta 4.0 on my desktop for over a month and have not had any major problems. Mostly just getting used to the layout of the page where controls are like tools etc. Occasionally when trying to go back to normal scree from full screen it would start showing sections of my desk top through the page in pixel blocks or sections. Since I reinstalled Windows 7 and reinstalled Beta 4.0 this hasn't happened.
    I decided to go ahead and install the Beta 4.0 on my laptop and it acts like it is installed and when I click on it to open it it opens the start page but the busy spinning symbol just keeps spinning in the address bar on top. I can't do anything after that except close the page. Then when I try to open the older FF browser it says FF is already running. The only way I have been able to get it to load is to restart the PC. I haven't thought to try task manager until reading the questions and answers on this site.
    When I go to uninstall programs the 4.0 is listed and I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times now with the same results. I did this on different days.

  • How to download and install Premier trial on Windows machine.

    After clicking Download it prompts you to choose an application. Which app do you choose? Or am I doing it wrong?

    Here's what happens:
    When I open Creative Cloud / Apps, Adobe Premiere Pro is not listed as an option. So I went here to download it:
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/premiere
    Clicked Download Trial (for Adobe Premiere Pro)
    The Launch App dialog opened
    I Chose CreativeCloud(UIRHandler)
    I also tried choosing Creative Cloud Helper.exe
    In both cases, the Launch App dialog closes and nothing else happens. Meanwhile, in the Creative Cloud app, the YOUR APPS panel remains empty (it says You have not installed any apps yet).
    How can I get and install the Premiere Pro Trial?
    Thanks so much!

  • Problems downloading and installing Flash Player on Windows 7.

    I have windows 7 and when i went to update my current version of Adobe Flash Player i would go to the page and only a few things would show up.  For example: It would say to press the Install Now button to go ahead with the download but that button would never show up.  So i uninstalled the flash player all together.  Then when i went to this page the Install Now button would show up.  So i would go along with the instructions of selecting yes on both prompts for the download.  And when i hit yes the second time nothing happens.  I went through some troubleshooting with my internet options and my Active X controls.  I'm not sure what to do at this point. 

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Can anyone help? I have downloaded and installed the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component but it doesn't work.

    I purchased the QuickTime MPEG-2 component for Quicktime as I am using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to be able to via MPEG-2 transport streams.
    I paid £14.00 - everything downloaded and installed fine but it doesn't work and I am still unable to view the transport streams in Quicktime even though according to the website this is want the component will let me do.
    I have rebooted several times, reinstalled both Quicktime and the MPEG-2 component and still nothing.  I have then spent ages going around and around in circles on the website trying to find a way of emailing customer services or technical support to get some assistance but I just always end back in the same place no further forward.
    Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!

    1) Suggest you reread the "Feature" details for the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component paying particular attention to the paragraph titled "Can transport streams be played?" which clearly states that this codec does NOT support the playback of transport stream (TS) files.
    2) This codec can only be used with "classic" QT apps such as the QT 7 player, GarageBand, or third-party apps like the free MPEG Streamclip app.
    3) The VLC player intrinsically supports TS files. MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed supports TS file playback.
    4) MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed can also resave muxed TS file content as muxed program stream (PS) content which is then "playback" compatible with both QT 7 and QT X players (assuming you select an audio compression format compatible with both) or convert the muxed TS content to QT "edit" compatible compression formats if desired.
    Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!
    Apple seldom makes refunds to people who successfully purchase software which they do not really understand how to use—cavaet emptor. It is difficult to make suggestions here without knowing more about your personal preferences and/or work flow requirements. I personally would keep the codec to enhance various playback, conversion, and editing options on my Mac.

  • Automatic download and install of app updates

    Is there a way of setting iTunes to download and install updates to existing apps. At the moment, if I am travelling, I come back and there are 20 or 30 apps to update

    I'm sorry, but you can't install updates automatically. You have to open iTunes and install these updates manually, and there isn't a workaround for this

  • Is there a way to have updates download and install automaticly

    Hello All,
    I have a network with about 300 computers, 5 of which are Macs. With the recent security issues, and frequent updates, is there a way to set things up so that updates will download and install without any user intervention? Say maybe at 1am? I dont know if this is something you could do with automator.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    For 5 Mac's, likely it would be better to do it manually, you also get the benefit of waiting for the all clear first.
    Apple has been known ot roll out updates that break third party software, anti-virus etc.
    Take for instance 10.6.8, seemed harmless, but these boards were flooded with people who's third party Rosetta based software broke, it cost businesses a lot of money in downtime.
    Another is firmware updates, three in a row that were bricking Mac's logicboards.
    So automatic updates isn't quite the best course of action, and with 5 machines, it's likely better to roll out to one, then another, then the rest jsut to make sure they all don't go down at once, especially with a small number.
    Usually you can get the users of those 5 Mac's to update themselves, pick a leader out of the group to coordinate with, they are pretty happy having Mac's and likely to comply when you give the all clear sign.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

    Hi,
    The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
    the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
    I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.
