Windows 7 Desktop won't run

I have a palm centro and recently purchased a new dell laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Installed the Desktop 6.2. Worked for a couple of days. Suddenly would not load on startup with an error message. Finally got through to a Palm tech through ATT who advised that 6.2 does not support Windows 7, but that they are working on a Winodws 7 version. Who knows when, if ever that may be available. The Palm aspects of the phone are not very useful w/o an operable desktop. Any suggestions?

dchoran can you clarify your statement about "they are working on a Winodws 7 version"? Who exactly told you that? Someone who works for Palm Inc. or AT&T? Did they tell you Access was going to make the software?
This would be the first time any of us have heard this claim, and frankly it runs contrary to what we've been told. Other users report Palm Desktop 6.2.2 works with Win7, but only the 32 bit version can sync via a cable.
For either Palm or Access to produce a new version of Palm Desktop that runs on 64bit Operating Systems would be quite surprising at this stage of the game!

What windows applications won't run on a mac?

I'm about to go from PC to Mac and would like to get an understanding of what common applications won't run on a Mac. I'm not interested in things like MS Office and such which I know have Apple version, but I'm interested in Adobe Acrobat, Flash Player, Others such as Garmin, eBay Turbo Lister, Nikon View, etc. Seems to me I've heard that Flash files won't work on Apple Products. Are there apps that will allow some of these to run?
I don't think I have too many to worry about but I'd appreciate hearing what challenges others have had and what to expect in general.

All Office and Adobe products available on both platforms. Flash works fine on a Mac, just not on iDevices like iPads or iPhones.
Others that you've listed just find out if the developers have a Mac version. Do some research.

Late 2009 iMac Windows installer won't run

So I will explain with more detail. My iMac is the late 2009 21.5 inch iMac with a..
Intel core 2 duo processor
4GB of
500GB HDD
So I followed the bootcamp guide which was made by apple. I opened up the bootcamp assistant and downloaded all of the software needed, and started partitioning the disk. I made about 40GB of space for my Windows side. After the partition completed, my mac restarted and started to read the DVD. However, I only get a black screen, and I can't get the Windows 7 installer to run. I thought I have some problems with my install disk so I used virtual box to see if the dvd works. When I used it on virtual box, the installer started and everything went fine. But when I use this for bootcamp, it did not work. I tried resetting everything, using a different installation disk, redo the partitioning, or boot up the disk by pressing the option key at the startup and selecting the disc. But none of them worked. I don't know why this is not working, since windows installed without any problems on my macbook pro retina. If someone was in the same situation or knows a solution for this, please help me. Again it is the Late 2009 iMac 21.5 inch model.

My HP Pavilion 20 windows 8 desktop won't run the recovery disk

I bought this recovery disk awhile back and it never worked to recover the computer. You can here the disk spinning inside but nothing apears on the screen. I did a hard disk test and everything came back passing. I tried getting into my UEFI firmware settings to reset the BIOS but everytime i click the option it just gives me a blue screen with the erorr code 0xc000000f so I can't even get in their.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Then it would appear that the recovery partition is corrupt and the recovery disk you had, where ever you got it from was defective or had no bootable data.
You would have to order recovery disks from HP if available.
If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number... 1-800-334-5144.
If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the HP business PC support number for the country you live in.

You may alternately download and create a Windows 8.1 ISO to install. It will not have the HP software though.

Vista hotsync failed, desktop won't run

I had a Palm V for about 7 years and now have a TX that I got over a year ago.
I had no problems until I got a new laptop with Vista. I've had problem come and
go (the desktop software would crash when I tried to view a month in the calendar)
with the desktop software, but recently when I'd try to print a calendar month
view, the software would start spooling hundreds of pages to the printer. I
thought I'd uninstall and then reinstall the desktop software. I did this, but on
the reinstall, the hotsync died while trying to sync the datebook. I finally had to
kill the hotsync. I tried running the desktop software and it crashes when trying
to launch. Any ideas? I'm close to tossing the Palm (after almost 9 years) and
just going to some PC-based software. Will there be a new release of the desktop
software soon? This wouldn't be as much of an issue if I was able to sync to my
XP machine, but that stop working after a started syncing to the Vista machine.
Palm has betrayed my trust.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I do apologize for the issues you are having. I am positive that they can be installed by doing a full clean uninstall of the Palm Software. Follow the steps carefully and make sure you do NOT have your Palm device connected to your PC during this process.
Well, let's start by backing up your data on your PC. If you use Palm Desktop Go to My Computer > Local Disk C:\ > Program Files > Palm > You should see your Username (whatever you named it) Folder in there. Right click your Username folder and Copy it. Then go to your desktop and Paste it. Also, right click the folder once again and rename it. It doesn't have to be completely different you can just at a "1" or something to the end. This way it is safe just incase if anything happens. Now we are ready to move on to getting Palm Desktop FULLY off your computer.
First, go back to the Control Panel > Add/ Remove Programs > Remove Palm
Second, Go to My Computer > Local Disk C:\ > Program Files > Delete Palm (sometimes PalmOne)
Next, Go to My Computer > Local Disk C:\ > users > [whatever username you use] > appdata > local > virtual store > program files > delete palmOne.
Now go to Local Disk C:\ > Windows > and delete hotsync (if it's not there don't worry about it)
Now you need to go into your registry and delete things. To get into your registry editor click Start > Run > type in Regedit.
Delete the following list of items (BE CAREFUL!!): *Side Note: Not all items will be in your registry sometimes so it's ok*
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File transfer
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource (or anything else that says Palm)
Close your registry and go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html to download and install Palm Desktop.
I hope this works out for you and let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

Windows Defender won't run on Twist after updating BIOS to 1.52.1.52

I ran a Windows Defender scan last night, all worked fine.
Today, I used Lenovo's system update to update the BIOS to 1.52.1.52. Immediately after the reboot, I tried another Defender scan.
It wil not complete: early into the scan, the fan speed increases and the Windows Defender service shuts down, bringing up the red "PC is at risk" banner and effectively killing the scan.
It's pretty clear that you need to issue an update/fix and FAST - my PC is no longer being protected!

Quote from: maz on 10-March-06, 02:24:20
I downloaded the w9620nms.110 version BIOS from the MSI website and flashed the BIOS. Since that time, Windows XP Pro will not load successfully. I re-flashed to go back to the 1.00 version and even tried the 1.26 version I got from this site. Each time it still didn't work. I cleared the CMOS and retried. Still no good.
I reformatted the windows partition on the HDD (nVidia RAID stripe) and reinstalled windows. The installation seemed to go fine, but when the system tried to load Windows, it failed again. Just keeps re-booting.
Is there some setting in the BIOS that got changed in the flash that I'm missing that effects this? A setting that needs changing back (other than the SATA RAID which I've re-set and whish is recognized by windows and the BIOS).
Or, it is possible the RAID stripe was corrupted somehow?
The system worked for several months before the flash.
Any help on this is much appreciated!!

I downloaded FF6 on my desktop and my laptop, both work except my desktop won't run RoboForm and my laptop will. Can't figure it out.

When I downloaded the new update on my laptop there was a notice that some add ons would not work, RoboForm was not included and works fine. Then I upgraded to FF6 on the desktop and it was on the list and does not work.

RoboForm Lite Password Manager 2.1.0

Check and tell if its working.

Finder won't run

After downloading the latest version of quicktime and restarting, I got a strange problem: Finder won't run and it seems like the, I don't know, desktop won't run. I can't see the items i've got on my desktop, I can't adjust volume or any of the top right desktop functions (i just get the "waiting umbrella" when i mouse-over them). On the other hand, Safari runs normally and I can open programs like Word from the toolbar and open documents from the disk through programs like Word.
I have tried to restart three or four times, but I feel kind of stuck.
Message was edited by: Haraldof

Same thing with me, only it wasn't after installing Quicktime. It happened to me when I tried to mount a big disk image. I could see the desktop picture, and I could startup and use programs, but I had no desktop icons, and every time I tried to launch/relaunch Finder, it would crash. I did an archive and install thing, and it worked to bring the Finder back for a short period, and then it happened again. The Finder wouldn't start.
This morning I was goofing around with the computer, trying to figure out what was up, and I got sick of hearing the external drives start and make their noise. So I turned all three of my Firewire and USB external drives off. Immediately the Finder started up! So… Try disconnecting any external drives and see if that helps. I hope so. Good luck.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

I installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run.

I installed iTunes on my Dell PC running Windows 7 and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run. Are there any known conflicts, or likely issues that may be causing this?
I've rebooted, and the iTunes program seems to operate fine. I used it to upgrade my iPad's OS to 8.1.3.

They aren't related and shouldn't affect each other.
