Win XP installation fails after successful Parallels installation...

Hi:
I've been trying for the last several hours to install my new copy of Windows XP under Parallels (which bought, installed, and updated to Build 3188 earlier).
Here's what happens: I get to the final step of the "OS Installation Assistant" in Parallels, where it says to insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive. I do so, click "Finish," and after a few moments, my Macbook's SuperDrive spits out the Windows CD (yeah, I know... ).
That's it.
Oh, the one time I got the Windows installation process underway, the installation quit, giving me the following error message: "File symc8xx.sys is corrupted. Press any key to continue." This was followed by "Setup failed. Press any key to restart your computer."
*ANY* help you good folks can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Since Parallels is not an Apple product, you have better luck posting your question on the Parallels discussion forums rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows:

CSS: "authentication failed" after successful fingerprint authentication - twice!

T61p
CSS: 8.10.0006.00
Vista 32 Ult
After successful fingerprint login, CSS states that the Windows password had been changed (it hasn't) and then asked me to verify that the CSS password matched my Windows password; this failes, even though the password entered is correct. This dialog pops up until it is cancelled.
I've also lost the ability to use my fingerprint reader to login to websites, it says that
- the print is okay, with that green checkmark, but then
- proceeds to say "authentication failed"
The password manager does not show up any more if started.
@ lenovo: any ideas, this is a very annoying one! And it is old, I think. Any ideas, before I go and buy
an Apple?

I have the same issue here.
The fingerprint software is working perfectly and it is properly linked with the Windows password so I can logon with no problems. However, right after I get the message the password has been changed when it hasn't.
The issues start when I need to use the Thinkvantage Password Manager or any other CCS applications. It does recognize my finger but it says "authentication failed".
I have emailed Lenovo and they recommended me to removed the CCS and the fingerprint software. I did it and it didn't work. Then they said I should take my laptop to a service center because it is no longer in warantee period.
In my case, all these issues began when I updated the CCS to the newer version (8.2)
I have read in other forums that it has to do with TPM or security chip encryption. It seems the CCS has not taken control over it. They state all will be fixed once the chip is clear which is done thru the BIOS>Security Chip>Clear Encryption. The big problem is that all encrypted data is erased in the process!!!
I have used the password manager for so long now with no problems that I have forgotten most of the keywords.

ISynch has failed after successful use

I have a new iMac and a SonyEricsson w850i. I have used iSynch satisfactorily to synch these. I tried yesterday to use it with Bluetooth to synch my Calendar and Contacts with the files on my laptop, but it would not do it. Since then I can no longer synch with the mobile phone: once the process is started the phone immediately drops the connection. I have tried turning both iMac and phone off and on again but the problem persists. What can be done?

First, try clicking "Reset Sync History..." in iSync preferences, and see if that allows it to sync.
If not, work through the suggestions on the page below:

Satellite Pro C850 - WLAN keeps failing after Win 7 installation

Hi,
I own a C850-1GR (PSCBXE), which comes with Win8.
I've bought Win 7 32-bit Home Premium and reinstalled it from scratch.
Afterwards I've installed the drivers from toshiba support page in the following order:
Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility
Intel Management Engine Interface
Display Driver
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
Realtek Audio Driver
ATI HDMI Audio Driver
SRS Premium Sound HD
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
Realtek LAN Driver
Realtek Wireless LAN Driver
Intel Wireless Display
Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver Package
Bluetooth Monitor
Intel USB3.0 Driver
Realtek Card Reader
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
TOSHIBA Sleep Utility
TOSHIBA Resolution+ Plug-in for Windows Media Player
TOSHIBA Media Controller
TOSHIBA Media Controller Plug-in
TOSHIBA Network Device ID Registry Setting Tool
TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
PatchFiles PCIIDEREG-1.2
PatchFiles
When the installation is done, WLAN fails after reboot, alternately.
This means:
*First boot: WLAN OK*
*Second boot: WLAN fails*
*Third boot ( = first boot): WLAN OK*
*Fourth boot ( = second boot): WLAN Fails*
*and so on.*
Failing means, the WLAN symbol is displayed for a few seconds, then the "no network" icon is displayed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

>(Why on earth should a device report an error every second system boot?)
Yes, indeed this is very confusing and strange.
Just one notice regarding:
>Please note, that the intel driver is for "wireless display".
Intel wireless display works only in connection with Intel WLan card. If your notebook does not contain Wlan card from Intel manufacturers, the wireless display does not work
>Furthermore, all these drivers are listed on the C850 driver page for Win7-32.
Yes, this is true but all these drivers appear because of different C850 with different hardware configuration.

Since you don't mention operating system, we assume you use Microsoft Windows something-or-other.
In which case, you open a command prompt, enter
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
and post the entire console session.
(Replacing the 'something-or-other' with 'version and service pack' in our public knowledge base would be very useful as well.)

Cannot recover Satellite to factory settings after Win XP installation

I was running windows recovery then I choose option "delete all data.... "something like that.
Then in the middle by mistake I turned off the system.
After I tried to started windows if was giving error "operating system missing". I manage to install WINDOWS XP so I might able to access HDD RECOVERY but nothing happened.
I tried pressing "F8" key and also "0" key when computer start at "toshiba" logo but it's still not giving me option to recover my computer back to windows vista or you can say "out of box state".
One Important things is, while installing windows XP its showed me that HDD recovery exists and only 973MB is free out of 5665MB. It means I still have all the windows and drivers on HDD. Now please help to recovery system back normal or OUT OF BOX STATE.

> After I tried to started windows if was giving error "operating system missing". I manage to install WINDOWS XP so I might able to access HDD RECOVERY but nothing happened.
The Win XP installation has damage and deleted the boot manager and the options preinstalled by Toshiba and supported by Toshiba image.
This means that if you will not be able to recover the unit using the HDD recovery option.
You could recover the unit back to factory settings only using the Toshiba recovery disk!!! But I assume you didnt create such disk is it right?
Well, in such case you could order such disk from here:

SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
What's wrong here?

Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

Can't launch Lightroom after successful download/installation.

After I downloaded and installed Photoshop there appeared a button that read something like "Lauch App" next to the Photoshop icon in the Download Manager. That worked smoothly and Photoshop is up and running. Tried to do the same with Lightroom however after successful download/installation there is no "Launch App" button. There is just text that reads "Up to Date" except it cannot be clicked and therefore does not launch the app. How do I launch Lightroom?

Disregard this, after launching the app with normal means i realized it was a stupid question.

Remove C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir after successful installation

Hello,
do you recommend to delete the directory C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir after successful installation.
It wastes ~500 MB disk space.
Thanks,
Juergen

yes.
if the installation was successful. i've experienced, that you won't read logs of a successful installtion anymore...
but you could also zip & archive it somewhere.
if you plan to do further installation you even SHOULD remove/rename the directory.

No response at all after successful installation of iTunes; please help!

After successful installation of iTunes (latest version 11) and confirmed that I agree to all terms, there was no further response.
I went to All Programs and double click iTunes, still there was no response as if I did not initiate it.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
I tried unintall and re-install it twice and the same happened.
Please help urgently. Many many thanks.

Well, I have just spent an HOUR (no, I'm not kidding or exaggerating) talking to Apple support, and the saddest thing is that they were not able to resolve my issue. Their suggestion is for me to create another email account, then a new Apple ID for that email address and if that does not help, they want me to come to an Apple Store and show them what's going on. I find that a bit ridiculous...

After successful installation of iTunes 10.6.1, iTunes will not open. Tried complete uninstall and reinstall, still not working. Cannot sync iPad or access iTunes at all. Any suggestions?

After successfully installing the iTunes upgrade to 10.6.1, Now I cannot open and access itunes. I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still not working. I have looked through many support communities for answers. I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version. I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

Adobe Captivate 7 will not open after successful installation

After successful installtion of Captivate 7, I am unable to open/run the program. The error message below is received when attempting to open the program. I've installed/uninstalled the program twice both with the same results. Any thoughts on why this is happening??
My system details:
Windows edition: Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
Installed memory: 4.00 GB

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Did you install on the system itself, hopefully not on a networked drive? And is the default folder 'My Documents' on your system as well?
Which version: 32-bit or 64-bit. 4GB of RAM and a Duo, I would recommend 32-bit really.
Do you launch Captivate as an Administrator?

Startup on AS/400 fails after following the Installation Instructions

I am not at all familiar with AS/400. Can anybody tell me what the
problem is? Following the instruction in the message does not help
either...

with the following message:
The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
Reason:
Cannot start server because weblogic.class.path is enabled and the
Weblogic classes are not in the weblogic.class.path. Please alter
the weblogic.class.path to include the Weblogic classes or set
weblogic.system.disableWeblogicClassPath=true to allow classes to
be loaded from the java CLASSPATH.
NOTE: Doing so will disable EJB hot deploy and should only be
done on platforms as specified in the documentation.

SOA Suite 11g TP4 "Configure SOA" step fails, after OC4J startup successful

I followed the installation instructions and got stuck in step 10d.
The build fails after announcing "*Trying to override old definition of task admin_client*", Oc4j has already started successfully.
The soa-infra-java.log file shows the publishing of shared libraries to fail because two libraries aren't found:
- apache.commons.fileupload
- oracle.fabric.runtime
The first is on the BAM import list, the other is for B2B. I did specify "Configure Basic SOA Components" though.
Both of these errors are announced as WARNING, but the build fails and SOA configuration is announced as failed too.
The startsoa.log file has several WARNINGs, including some SEVERE ones:

- How is oc4j started? Must the Environments variables be set through the system properties or on a startup script for JDev?

PS
You might want to update the page header on the installation instructions to show "Tech Preview 4" instead of 3. Document title at start is correct though.
