Windows 7 hangs during install on HP Pavilion a Media Center 1320n

Windows XP Media is currently on machine. I tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. When the computer rebooted the installation would hang during the complete installation. I tried several times and the same thing happened. I reformated the hard drive and tried to install the same OS using a USB flash drive and got the same results. I reformatted again and tried to install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and got the same results. The only OS I can install on this machine is Windows XP. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to install Windows 7.
I upgraded the Bios with version 3.24 before I began the installation.

Another update in case anyone might be having the same problem.. Found out what the problem is.. But still have not resolved it.. I did another fresh install of Win7. Joined the domain and rebooted. When it came back up I checked the network and sharing center. It is showing "Identifying". Start> Run> firewall.cpl . It is showing Public network as my current connection. I unplugged my network cable and plugged it back in. It now shows domain network. Log offs work fine. After reboot it goes back to doing the same thing. I tried with both DHCP and a static IP. Both ways, same problem. So it works fine if the location is set to domain network but not to public (which i guess it automatically puts it in to if it cant identify the network). Sometimes it will go to work network. Logoffs take roughly 30 seconds compared to 8 min. on a public network or 2 seconds on a domain network.
We do have a group policy that disables security center. It will disable the firewall and other features when it is set to domain network. But not for the work or public locations.
The other policy we have in place is for Kerberos. Kerberos is disabled by default in windows 7 but is needed for our SAP to work. When we run a packet sniffer on the machine it is showing a lot of back and forth traffic with our DC and the protocol just shows Kerberos. So my next test is to remove the GPO for Kerberos and see if that makes a difference.
The funny thing is; I have a Precision 380 sitting right aside of it. Running Windows 7, joined to the same domain, connected to the same switch, in the same OU and it doesnt have a problem..

ITunes hangs during install in Windows 7 64bit.

I've been having trouble installing iTunes on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit. It hangs at the same place every time. I opened up task manager and found the culprit, DiFXInstall64.exe. When I kill this process, iTunes continues and finishes the installation. Why does it do that? What is DiFXInstall64.exe? And does it cause any problems if I kill the process and iTunes installs as usual? Will that damages the program and give trouble later on?

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/difxfaq.mspx
DifX componentry is used to install the GEAR drivers itunes uses for importing and burning CDs. After the install goes through for you, are there any messages (when opening iTunes for example) indicating that there's trouble with your iTunes burning and importing capabilities?

Basis Guy,
I followed your instructions, and the problem still exist. Per note 908911, I added "SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION" role to the SAPJSF user in the backend ABAP system. I've tried starting and stopping
the System through SAP MMC, and I see the following (solman is our hostname):
solman 0 - The AS ABAP work processes start sucessfully, the AS Java processes, show three processes, with two in the stopped state:
1) SDM - state is stopped
2) Dispatcher - state is running
3) server0 - state is stopped, with a return code of -11113
solman 1 - shows 2 processes
1) Msg Server - running
2) Enqueue Server - running
From SAP MMC, I look at the Developer trace for the 2 stopped processes (SDM and server0). This brings up the dev_server0 log, and the dev_sdm log. In both files, I see the following error:
[Thr 3712] JStartupICheckFrameworkPackage: can't find framework package C:\usr\sap\MES\DVEBMGS00\exe\jvmx.jar
When I look for this file, it does not exist. Is this my problem, and where does this file come from during the install?
From the Syslog of SAP MMC, I see three errors when starting the system, in this order:
Process Type: DP Message ID: GZZ
SAP-Basis System: > 1 possible network problems detected - check tracefile and adjus
Process Type: RD Message ID: Q01
SAP-Basis System: Operating system call           recv failed (error no. 10054)
Process Type: D0 Message ID: R49 User: SAPJSF Client: 001
SAP-Basis System: Communication error, CPIC return code 020, SAP return code 223
Also, I see the following error in the defaulTtrace.0.trc file:
#com.sap.security.core.server.secstorefs.FileIOException: I/O error on file "
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS
global
security
data
SecStore.properties (The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open)
However, I see that this file does exist, but what does it mean "a user-mapped section is open"?
As for the configtool, Global Server Configuration, when I look for all instances of J2EE_GUEST or SAPJSF, only two parameters show up:
ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids = J2EE_GUEST
ume.r3.connection.master.user = SAPJSF
Looking in the ABAP System (via SU01), I see that J2EE_GUEST shows password deactivated. Is this correct?
Please advise.
Rick
Sunny,
Not sure what you mean by update the latest logs from sapinst.log.   I've displayed the sapinst.log in the original post. I may just be misunderstanding your request.
Let me know if there is more info that you need.

Satellite A205-S6808 - Vista hangs during install

Hey All,
I've been trying to re-install/install my Vista OS on My Satellite 205-6808. But I get a pxe-e61:media test failure check cable. (But the HDD is installed properly) Then it will sit at idle for a while then windows green lights blink in sequence for a little and the a Arrow and just hangs until I shut it down.
I dont think that Vista really starts to install but it see something on the old drive. I'm trying to use the disk that came with the laptop but when I read the instructions it tell me to go online to "http://vista.toshiba.com/getready/upgradeadvisor" but I cant there's no way for me to get there.
The laptop does not load any type of internet capability.
Please help and please advice. I cant go out and buy a new laptop for the drivers I for camera and telescope are not made for W7
Thanks
Bruce

Try please to set BIOS to default settings and try to start recovery installation again. This PXE message occurs when notebook cannot find any bootable device and as last one try to use LAN card.
After changing BIOS to default settings check please if HDD is listed properly in BIOS on the first page.
> I'm trying to use the disk that came with the laptop but when I read the instructions it tell me to go online to "http://vista.toshiba.com/getready/upgradeadvisor" but I cant there's no way for me to get there.
Never heard about that. You must just start recovery installation.
After notebook start press F12 to enter Boot options. Put recovery disc into optical disc drive, choose DVD/CD on the list and press ENTER.
Please try all this and send some feedback.

Airport Utility for Windows fails during install

I downloaded the latest driver for the airport utility for Windows 7. Ran the exec and during the install had a failure on some file that didn't get installed.
Have all firewalls down. Utility comes up but doesn't find my airport extreme.

Thanks. Tried the hard wire approach and the utility didn't find it. Did the config other and it was found. So the unit is there but the utility can find it which is what I need in order to connect the shared drive to my windows 7 system.
The airport base station agent is running and configured but I never get a prompt to enter the disk password.
Nice clue about using the IP to connect.
I did this via WIFI. Used my iMac to get the IP address.
The time machine is in bridge mode and connecting through another router to the internet.

I installed the latest driver from HP for this monitor which looks like it's from February of 2013 so probably not current for the Windows 8.1 update.
I should add that I'm running the HP monitor through a ThinkPad USD 3.0 Dock and using a Lenovo Yoga 11S

Hi
This looks like a issue with the graphics card drivers on the notebook.. have you tried updating the drivers of the graphic card after windows 8.1 update? if not try to do that.
Hope this helps.

Windows hangs unexpectedly sometimes when I play streaming media

Sometimes I'll be playing some streaming media - it can be on youtube or on some other streaming media source and the file will "stick" -- that is, I find that I usually can't turn it off or shut down the page. Shortly afterward, the whole thing hangs. The image freezes and the audio turns into a loud wailing sound. Sometimes, if I wait, it may clear, or the system crashes to the blue screen of death. More often, I simply have to do a forced shut down and restart.
HP tech support and Verizon tech support can't figure out what the problem is. I've up-dated drivers, Ditto Firefox, I.E., emptied caches, etc.

Hello vpv. I understand you're having some issues with Windows Media Player.
You'll need to begin by reinstalling your sound drives. I'll need your product number to locate the appropriate software. This document can show you how to locate that.
Also are you using Windows 7 or Windows 8?

Windows 8.1 install stuck at 45%

Hi all,
I need to install Dreamweaver on my computer but when I try doing so it get's stuck at 45%.
I have a Windows 8.1 computer, I run the installer in Admin mode, and I never had any problems since I m using the CC programs while installing a new adobe program.
Thanks in advance for your help

check your task manager for running processes that are hanging during install and terminate them.
you can also check your install logs to see if a problem is logged, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC
and you can uninstall everything cc, clean and start your installation(s) anew, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Windows 7 already installed.. how to dual boot with archlinux?

Hi, I have already windows 7 installed on my laptop and as I want to start with arch linux, I now want to dual boot. I want both OS on the same SSD. I could install archlinux on my 2nd hdd but that would be a performance loss compared to an installation my my SSD. As my windows partition already has a fixed size (the fully 79gb or my 80gb SSD), how can i get archlinux on it? Also, can i simply delete archlinux later and windows 7 will work just fine?
Thanks

You just need to restore the bootloader to the MBR, which is easily done with tools like Super Grub Disk.
Its easier than that, boot off a Windows XP install CD, go into recovery mode and type "fixmbr" and it will be back to normal
To get it working op, you will need to make room on the disk for Arch (shrink your Winxp partition), install Arch onto the spare disk and then tell Grub where your XP is located (theres normally a commented out option at the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst anyway).

No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270. Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

Hi,
Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.
That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.

Windows 7 media center MCE plug-in & Elements 8 - can not access catalog over network

Hi,
I have Elements 8 installed on windows 7 and want to use the Microsoft Media Center photoshop plugin to view photographs and slide shows held on a network share. How do I configure the plug-in to find the catalog on the share ( at address P:|Pictures ).
All I can see is an entry for "My Catalog" on screen and a small number of black thumbnails.
Thanks

For some reason when using the "certified" MCE version of the Forceware drivers, after a short while all the buttons in the menus become "corrupted"
The simple solution: use regular XP/2000 version of Forceware drivers. They still work perfectly in MCE2005, and the graphical corruption doesn't appear.

Toshiba M305D : blue windows screen during the install of Windows 7 / Vista, no Audio on Windows XP

Dear Users
Last week I had a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on my M305D-S4830 laptop.
I've used this OS on this machine before, and it worked fine.
After installing Win7, the device manager showed 2 unknown devices. First I've installed the O2 multimedia card reader, and it went ok. Secondly I've installed for the unknown device "hdmi audio" a hdmi audio driver from ATi, since the notebook has AMD 780V chipset and a Radeon HD3100 (it hasn't any hdmi output, but I didn't want to have any unknown devices).
And my nightmare begun.
While restarting after the driver upgrade, my brand new Win 7 boot hang on blue screen code: 0x00000124, which is common for many hardware and software faults. I ran safe mode to clean the system from the hdmi audio driver, but the catalyst install manager dind't let me to remove it. Since it was a fresh install on a formatted HDD, I took the time for another clean install (20 mins). But during the Win 7 install, the installer hang on blue screen, guess what, code: 0x00000124. I changed to the factory-backup Win Vista disks of my laptop, but Vista had the same problem, I couldn't install this OS either, blue screen during install, too.
I took a Win XP Prof SP3 as a last option, and I could finally install it. But after the install, I had problems with the Radeon HD3100, I couldn't install the driver from the .exe, I had to make it from the device manager via properties/I choose to/graphics adapters/own disk. So I don't have the control centre, but the display works in 1280x800.
The bigger problem is: no sound.
The device manager in Win XP shows only one unknown audio device: the hdmi audio. I can't install the conexant drivers, because it says I don't have the device for that. When I install the ATi hdmi driver for XP, I get the blue screen with the error 0x00000124. Nice.
I have updated bios, and made a proper format with the partititons deleted, but it didn't helped. I think the Vista/7 install crashes at the point, when it tries to install the audio driver during OS install, because the XP was running until I have tried to install it, too. But I can't configure the Vista/7 install not to try loading it.
So my laptop is only comnpatible with XP, the install of Vista or 7 crashes. And in XP, I have got no audio devices, therefore no sound. You can imagine, how glad I am looking at my Harman/Kardon speakers right now...
Any ideas?

Any ideas?
Alex, restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If you didn't burn them, order the discs.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
If it doesn't run properly after that, you have a hardware malfunction.
