Windows 7 64-bit startup problems

Hi to everyone. I got a new 2011 MacBook Pro 17", and I've been having a lot of trouble with the Windows side. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I managed to fially install Windows once but I got a lot of startup errors. Sometime it would say winload.exe is missing or corrupt. Sometimes it would say it was updating system files, even though I hadn't installed any programs or drivers. If it did that, it definitely wouldn't boot properly. After that, I had to reboot, and Windows would ask me to start in Safe Mode, but if I booted into Safe Mode windows could never find or fix the problem. If I ignored the warnings started Windows normally, sometimes it would load everything normally.
I've since formatted and I'm starting again, but this time I keep getting the "winload.exe is missing or corrupt", and it's there I've just thrown my hands up.
Specs:
Macbook Pro 17" i7 2.2ghz
8GB of RAM
Thanks for any help in advance.

The most common reason, this was an electronic version from school as ISO that you burned rather than retail and physical media. In which case DU doesn't burn properly unless 2X reduced burn speed is used.

HP Pavilon G6 (Windows 8) 64-BIT Startup Issue

HP Pavilon G6 Windows 8 64-BIT
PRODUCT: C4M16EA#ABU
MODEL: g6-2241sa
When starting up my laptop I get the either the message 'Starting/Loading Windows' or 'Preparing Automatic Repair'.
It will always stay as such indefinatly.
My keyboard is also unresponsive meaning I can't access any screens that may help, although for some reason 'ctrl + alt + del' seems to work before the HP Logo loads, but just causes the laptop to reboot.
I have tried turning my laptop off, removing the power lead and battery pack, holding the power button for 15+ seconds, plugging the power lead in while leaving the battery pack out and pressing the power button to turn it on, but nothing.
Now, this problem seemed to occor after the battery pack fell out, I guess it was improperly held in with the clips.
but even before the pack fell out, the laptop began to freeze, for the first time since I bought it, unfortunaty the battery pack fell out as it was frozen, probably adding more to the laptops struggle each startup.
as I am only a teen and still in education I'm not found to be flexible meaning I don't have a income whatsoever.
So if I do have to replace my laptop or any components of such, please suggest the cheapest you possable can...
thank you.

Solution? CS 3/Windows 7- 64 bit installation problem

I found an answer for at least one of the MAJOR issues installing CS3 on Windows 7-64 bit ...
The problem: CS3 installation goes smoothly, but when trying to open Photoshop, you get a blank Photoshop window and an endlessly spinning curser. Also, no other programs will open, yet if you check the program files, they seem complete. You may even discover that one of the non-working programs is actually open (but not accessible to you) somewhere in the depths of your computer. An error message may eventually appear (if you are lucky), which reads something to the effect: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this product by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help."
Check this link for the solution, which worked for me after four weeks of frustration and three Adobe problem tickets that were declared closed without resolution of this problem:
http://www.megaleecher.net/Flexnet_Licensing_Service
Short form is that the Flexnet licensing feature for Windows 7 is not set properly and prevents CS3 from registration/activation. It must read "start" and "automatic" - not "stop" and/or "manual." You get to Flexnet Licensing as follows: Start Menu>Run> (type in) services.msc>enter
Then double click FlexnetLic in the menu, change the Stop to Start (by clicking on the word) and the Manual to Automatic. Click save. Restart computer and launch any CS3 program. This should bring up the rest of the installation process beginnning where you enter your serial number(s). From that time on, for me, everything was operational and still is (Whoopee!!!!!!)
Side Note to Adobe: When I first encountered this problem FOUR weeks ago, I talked three different times with Technical Assistance personnel. The second of these three could have solved the problem - he had the right information, as I can now see. The problem: I could NOT understand his English. His accent was very heavy and the phone connection was terrible. He struggled as I did with such simple things as the word "start" where he had to literally spell it out four times before I understood what he was saying. We eventually got to the Flexnet screen and possibly could have solved the issue right then. But the communication process was so labored that it didn't work. I'm guessing now that a step was missed somewhere, because now all is okey dokey, after using the information in the above link.

Pat, thank you for your very prompt response.
Regarding my FLF files I will try the VLC Media Player as you suggested, thank you.
Now regarding the Flash Player being a browser add on in my IE, I checked through Tools / Manage add-ons / All Add-ons and it displays only Adobe Shockwave Object from the Adobe range of products. Adobe Flash Player is not an Add-on in my system.
By uninstalling it (when I was trying to install a standalone product), did I delete this Add-on from the available Add-ons from my IE?
And if I did that, how do I reinstate it? (As you said a standalone Flash Player would have its limitations).
I would appreciate your advice.

LaserJet 1022 on Windows 8 64-bit driver problem

Hello!
After I've upgraded my computer and installed Windows 8 my printer LaserJet 1022 won't work - the drivers fail to install.
Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit
Printer: HP LaserJet 1022 connected via USB
I 'm trying to install latest drivers for 64-bit system (driver version 2012.918.1.57980 [18.09.2012]) and getting an error message that the driver cannot be installed because of a policy blocking NT4.0 drivers.
In the device manager the printer is listed in the 'Other devices'.
I have read forum topics on Windows 8 drivers installation but none of the solutions worked for me.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Pavel.

Hi @debblong ,
I see that you are having issues installing the printer on Windows 8. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
To access the Start in Windows 8 to do the steps provided in the previous post, in desktop mode, press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line. Then you can type in %temp% to access the files to delete them.
For the printer not being detected, we can try a few things.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and turned on, and the USB cable is connected directly to one of the back USB ports on the computer if using a Desktop, if you are using a Laptop try another USB port.
The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable? How to determine whether a USB 3.0 device is operating at SuperSpeed?
Is the USB port on the computer 2.0 or 3.0?
Follow these steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for any printer entries.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected) right click and uninstall it. If you have any others with exclamation mark or other devices in the list, delete them also.
Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
Then click on Action, across the top of the window and scan for new hardware.
If the printer wasn't listed at all in the Device Manager, try another USB port on the computer and another USB cable.
Restart the computer and the printer also to see if the printer will be detected.
If the printer still isn't recognized, if you have another computer, connect the printer to it to see if it is recognized.
Just to rule out a USB port on the computer, USB cable or hardware issue with the USB port on the printer.
Here is the link to the driver page, if you need it. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Windows 7 64 Bit and problem ripping CD's in Itunes

I have just bought a new PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed. rather than transferring my library I decided to install the latest version of I tunes and start from scratch. I then starting copying cd's. They copied really fast, up to 35x but when the final track had loaded the small green tick next to the track number did not appear. The small orange circle remains and Itunes is frozen. It stays like this for several minutes then clears and I move on to the next CD and repeat the whole operation. Any ideas ??

First thing, I would see if WMP can rip a CD in MP3 format.
That would tell us whether it's a general drive problem, or something specific to itunes.

Did you disconnect wireless on the 2 Windows 7 64 bit machines while testing wired?
What is the connection between the Actiontec and the Belkin? LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
If the connection is LAN-to_LAN, the wireless connection on each machine would have obtained a DHCP address from the Actiontec. When you connected wired, you would have gotten a new IP address based on the different MAC address of the wired NIC, resulting in the machine having 2 IP addresses. This may not be readily apparent on the Actiontec main status page as the second connection will get a generated name of "new-host-xx" (the router can't reuse the same PC name for 2 different IP addresses). Windows should be able to keep the two connections on the same subnet straight, but I've seen WIndows do stranger things.
If the connection is LAN-to-WAN, the Belkin must have a different subnet address than the Actiontec (e.g.. 192.168.2.x). Now, if you connect both wired to the Actiontec (192.168.1.x) and wireless via the Belkin (192.168.2.x), Windows is going to have connections to two different subnets with two different gateway routers. Without explicit routing rules, Windows won't know which gateway to use.

Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Actiontec MI424WR while wired with wireless radio off

I have discovered an issue with Windows 7 64 bit OS. My attempted set up was to havea 802.11n Belkin Play router connected to my Actiontec MI424WR router as a wireless access point with the MI424WR wireless radio turned off. This worked fine for my XP 32 bit PC, my Windows 7 32 bit PC, and my 2 Windows 7 64 bit laptops using wireless. A problem arose when I tried wired connections on the Windows 7 64 bit laptops and a Windows 7 64 bit PC.
While wired, internet would drop either completely or intermittently but too frequently to be useful. Tech support had no idea what to do or what caused it. It was reproducible after a reset of the router and then turning off the wireless radio.
I could fix it by turning on the wireless radio again, but I had hoped to turn it off and only use wireless from the 802.11n router.
Any ideas?
Brian

Hi,
Try the following.
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD. Download the ISO file from the link below - this is not an installation disc, but will allow you to access the Recovery environment.
Windows 7 64bit
You should use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: you may want to de-select the additional software options during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
When created, tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook launch the Start-up Menu and then insert the Rescue CD. Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

Windows 7 32 bit installation problem

My Lenovo g50-30 with pentium n3530 inside shows bluescreen while & after installing Windows 7 32 bit. This type of system refuses to load despite all effort and reboots . The notebook is new, it contained freeDOS originally. BIOS update doesn't help, since it can only be made directly in OC. Help required. Ideas fail me.

I had similar issues from time to time with Windows Vista / 7 - usually worked after I disabled the onboard COM and Parallel ports.
Good to know yours is working now.

ICloud WINDOWS 7 64 Bit sync problem with calendar of Outlook 2010

I am using
iPhone 4S (IOS5)
iPad 1 (IOS5)
PC (WINDOS 7 SR1 32 bit, Cor-2-duo) & Outlook 2010, 32 bit, at home
PC (WINDOWS 7 SR1 64 bit, Intel i7) & Outlook 2010 version 14.0.6106.5005 (32-Bit), in my office
together with iCoud for syncing my contacts (about 500) and calenders (2 calenders, about 3.000 and 8.000 entries) with Outlook 2010
The syncing works perfect for 1., 2. an 3., but I have severe problems with the 64bit PC:
The iCloud operating pannel is only displayed after a fresh reset of the system. Two processes are running (iCloud.exe*32, iCloudServices.exe *32), the iCloud icon on the task bar is displayed. Opening of the iCloud operating pannel fails by all means ( via icon, via network->icloud) etc. after Outlook 2010 has started once.
After closing Outlook, a restart of Outlook is perfored but displays "loading data" till infinity. The task manager is required to shut down Outlook.
After a fresh reset outlook starts (normal behavior) and displays the contacts (complete) and both calendars, but has only downloaded during set-up only about 7.000 entries of the 11.000 entries which are still displayed in the calendar of the web interface of iCloud and are displayed nicely on iPhone, iPad and the 32bit PC. The sync of new calendar entries works perfect between all four systems.
I have removed and reinstalled the iCloud operating panel sereal times, checked the Outlook pst file for errors -> no success.
Any suggestions how to overcome this problem?

I had a similar problem back lst year with MobileMe and outlook. I had to uninstall outlook and MM control panel completely then reinstal MM THEN Outlook and then MM would download all 5 of my MM calendars into Outlook including all events
do they stop at a certain date i remember seeing an option somewhere that specified how far back to sync appointments

IMAQdx Windows 7 64 bit install problems

Hello all,
THis is the third time I have installed Vision tools 2010 where IMAQdx did not install and I have had to manually install the missing parts. Anyone had this problem? Is there a fix for this? The software is activated so this is not the issue.
Thanx,

Greetings,
When you say that IMAQdx did not install, do you mean that the install failed or errored out in some way? Or do you mean that the installation just did not happen and you could not see the software on MAX?
And manually install the missing parts, would you mean that you later installed IMAQdx alone and it worked fine?
Finally, when in the process did you activate the software and what was the installation procedure; as in, what order did you install your software in?
Would you happen to be using LabVIEW or simply using MAX? If so, what version of LabVIEW? Finally, would you happen to have some sort of antivirus system that may be blocking some of the installations, particularly those that automatically connect to the internet?
I wish you a great day!

Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? (Main idea: Performance & Stability)

Hello guys
Currently I have installed Windows 7 32 bit. I'm thinking of changing to the 64 bit version as in 32 bit, Windows only use 2.72GB RAM although I have 4GB RAM on my MacBook Pro 13(you have 4GB RAM, but your computer only use 2.72GB. What a waste)
I use Windows for games, sometimes for office works (when it comes working with my friends which mostly of them using Windows)
Currently, I have no problem using the 32 bit.No lags.Fast boot
I'm wondering, if I use the 64 bit, booting is faster?Less lags?
(one of my friend use Vista Home Premium 64 bit said that boot using the 64 bit is quite longer than the 32 bit, but the performance is much better then 32 bit)
I have read some articles regarding gaming on Windows 7 64 bit. Problems, crashing and sometimes BSOD!
Quite scary on hearing that...
So, anybody can give me a piece of advice?

Well, my computer does show the installed RAM as 4GB. But, when I open Computer Properties, it shows:
RAM installed: 4.00GB (2.72GB Usable)
When I check with another tools(TuneUp), it also shows that the RAM that used by Windows 7 is 2.72GB

When I open Firefox, even in safe mode, it causes my Windows 7 64-bit to totally crash and I get that blue screen of death =(. This has happened suddenly on Nov 16, 2010. I had been running Firefox on Windows 7 64-bit with no problems previously. Help?

I have had Windows 7 64 bit for the past year and have run Firefox with no problem. It was the most problem free of the three browsers including IE and Chrome.
I have a Vista side where I run my online backup and did so yesterday. Went on Firefox. No Problem.
Today I booted into the Windows 7 side. Seemed to boot up okay. Until I opened Firefox. Suddenly, my whole computer crashed, windows shut down and that bluescreen popped up. I restarted normally. Same thing. I restarted in safe-mode. Couldn't find any problems. Went back to regular mode. Started FF. Boom crash.
Back to safe mode. Did a system restore. Back to regular startup. Didn't help. Attempting to open FF crahed windows.
So back to safe mode. Started Firefox. Crashed the whole computer and same blues screen.
So I uninstalled FF. Reinstalled FF. It still makes Windows crash.
So now I am on IE :P

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

Problems installing 10G (r 10.2) on Windows 7 64-bit

Hello. I am taking an introductory Oracle SQL class. The professor gave us a link to install Oracle 10g release 2, which I followed and performed on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. The installation seemed to run through okay. When asked (again, per instruction), I created a database named CIS276 (the class name) instead of "orcl" as suggested during the setup. I am having problems getting connected to the database, however, and since the class is online, I can't go to our campus to sit down with the professor to work out where the trouble is, so I'm hoping somebody out here can help me. Here's where I am:
I am able to get to the Enterprise Manager through the loopback address and port that was given to me during installation. I am able to log into EM using the SYS account with the password I entered during install. I get to a screen that has a button labelled "Startup/Shutdown." When I click that button, I am taken to a screen asking for Host credentials (OS account name and password) and database credentials (I use "SYS", the password I created, database is already filled in, and "SYSDBA" for "Connect as"). After entering this information, I click on OK. I get an error message at the top of the screen saying: "Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null." I looked up this string and a suggestion was to run " lsnrctl status"--I think (I've been trying a lot of things over the past couple of days to try to get this running) and the program replied that the environment variable "ORACLE_SID" wasn't set. I looked up what I was supposed to do and went into Windows 7 Environment area and set the value.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and am still getting the same problem. So I Googled the error message again and saw a suggestion to stop and restart dbconsole. When I did that, I got an error (stopping and starting) telling me that I was denied access.
At this point, I felt I'd better stop and get any suggestions from more experienced Oracle users. If anybody could give me some suggestions as to what to try next, I'd truly appreciate it.
And one other question: when I followed the link to download Oracle, there was another download listed called something like "Companion Disk 2". Is this a necessary download or is it just extra stuff that I may not use for now?
Thank you again.
Eric S. Bauman

Hi Eric,
I thin your problem is not related to Operating System. Right now I also use Windows 7 64 bit. and the oracle database that i used is Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) for windows vista 64 bit. still up and running good.
"I am able to get to the Enterprise Manager through the loopback address and port that was given to me during installation. I am able to log into EM using the SYS account with the password I entered during install. I get to a screen that has a button labelled "Startup/Shutdown." When I click that button, I am taken to a screen asking for Host credentials (OS account name and password) and database credentials (I use "SYS", the password I created, database is already filled in, and "SYSDBA" for "Connect as"). After entering this information, I click on OK. I get an error message at the top of the screen saying: "Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null." I looked up this string and a suggestion was to run " lsnrctl status"--I think (I've been trying a lot of things over the past couple of days to try to get this running) and the program replied that the environment variable "ORACLE_SID" wasn't set. I looked up what I was supposed to do and went into Windows 7 Environment area and set the value."
from your problem let's do it one by one:
to run lsnrctl, from windows desktop--> click start menu -> on search program and files box type cmd, the start menu will change its appearance and it will show you black icon with names cmd.exe do right click on that icon then choose run as administrator. It will open DOS command prompt for you.
on DOS prompt type : set ORACLE_SID=<your database name>, example : set ORACLE_SID=orcl then enter
now you can execute your lsnrctl status from the prompt.
in case you need to start listener you can use : lsnrctl start from previous DOS Prompt or you can start it via services.msc as follow : from windows desktop--> click start menu -> on search program and files box type services.msc then enter on window that open find oracle<oracle_home>TNS listener services then double click this services click on button start.
as for the agent problem is not running try to check the services with names oracleDBConsole<dbname> is it run or not.
hope it helps.
