Windows 8 Compatibility with Control Panel 2.1.1

I am running Windows 7 and using Control Panel 2.1.1. I read a note on the Apple site that Windows 8 is compatible with this version? Is this true. I just want to be sure before I install Windows 8. Things work pretty well right now.
Thank you,
Mike

Windows Color Management in Control Panel Settings?

I know enough to disable color management in the printer driver when I enable my photo editing software (PS Elements) to handle color management.
However, what should thecorrect setting for Color Management be in the Windows 7 Control Panel.
Assuming I have selected my printer in the device setting and have uploaded the ICC profile for my printer in = Windows Color Management in the Control Panel
do I check the box next to "Use my settings for this device" ?
do I select "Automatic (recommended)" or "Manual" in the Profile Selection box ?
do I check "Use as Default Profile" for my paper's ICC profile ?
or will my graphics program automatically override all the settings in Windows Color Management in the Control Panel?
If the graphics program does not override the Windows control panel settings, what is the proper permutation of settings.
Thanks

Good question seweavermm.
Access to video card control (if available) is typically done through either System Preferences on a Mac or the Control Panel on a PC. The good news is that since you don't know how to do this then it is high probability it is in default mode and is a moot point. It is my understanding that not too many video cards have settings that are not reset by the by the actual calibration process itself yet put this step in for completeness. The more important and common condition that must be done is setting the monitor to a condition that is stable and allows access to its full gamut. I suggest to read the details of the instruction manual for the OSD controls for your monitor to verify that the default conditions meet those chacterisitcs. Typical gotchas would be defaulting to sRGB color space which would limit the colors you could see or having a mode set that does anything dynamic such as scene adjusted brightness. Another gotcha is when the monitor and software allow adjusting brightness for the ambient light - best to control the ambient light and have the monitor at a constant brightness so as not to invalidate any calibration/profiling done with the monitor. Note that changing any OSD settings and fiddling with monitor conditions invalidates the calibration done as the calibration is only valid for the fixed conditions of the monitor at the time of calibration. That was a lot more then the question you asked yet wanted to put things in perspective. Hope this helps.

Locked out of Windows XP Boot Camp control panel

I'm getting locked out of my Boot Camp control panel under Windows XP with the following message:
"An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
Likewise if I try to restart OS X from the XP icon tray, I get this message:
"Could not locate the Mac OS X boot volume."
However, holding the alt-key at boot up reveals both startup disks. I can boot successfully into OS X and XP using the alt-key, and I can switch startup disks successfully from the OS X System Preferences pane. Also, the Boot Camp partition is visible to Vmware Fusion and can be used to boot into Windows XP successfully. It's only within native Windows XP that the OS X boot volume is not accessible.
I'm running Windows XP Home (SP3) with the latest Boot Camp 2.1 update. Re-running the BCUpdateXP.exe program to repair Boot Camp was unsuccessful. The OS X boot volume still can't be accessed from XP. Any ideas out there?

Same problem, same error message now in October 2008. Running Mac OS X 10.5.5 & Windows XP SP3. Also running MacDrive and Norton Anti-Virus for Windows.
Problem disappears upon reverting to WinXP SP2 using Windows System Restore. Imperfect fix, but it does work. Revert to last restore point when SP2 was working.

Hi,
DV7 is a series of dozens if not hundreds of models, what is yours ? Please bear in mind normally HDMI sound on computers go from video cards, not "sound" cards.

[Sound Blaster ZX]Control Panel takes 6 MINUTES to load and is nearly unusable?!

All,
Yesterday I took the plunge and picked up a Sound Blaster ZX to replace my old Audigy Platinum. Unfortunately I've been met with a series of problems that leave me with a bad taste in my mouth about my purchase.
The driver install seemed to go well though it was a little disconcerting when the 'Check for update' button in the auto update tool that runs right after install was grayed out. I noticed that I was not getting sound out of the 5.1 analog inputs that I had connected up to my Logitech Z680 speaker system. So I checked the system tray and there was a new SB icon there, that was clearly a utility to get to the configuration. Knowing this was probably the right place to start fiddling with the settings, I clicked it. And waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Strange I thought, so I checked the Windows task manager and located the Sound Blaster control panel in the list of running processes. I waited another minute or so and still nothing was displaying. So I killed the process in task manager, located the shortcut to the SB ZX control panel in the start menu and launched it. Again with the waiting. I immediately took to google and started researching a potential problem with this card.
As I was searching and had forgotten that I had launched the Control Panel, it suddenly showed up on my screen. Wow I thought, that took a while to load. I then proceeded to try to navigate the various areas of the Control Panel application. I was immediately concerned when I noticed that the app was not responsive and appeared to be frozen. I decided to patiently wait to see if it would wake up. Fortunately it did, though only after waiting for several minutes. I then attempted to close the Control Panel app, which it did after several more minutes of waiting.
I thought maybe there was some anomalous process running so I decided to try the Control Panel from a fresh boot. After my machine had started up, I clicked the SB icon in the system tray again, only this time I was going to time it. I recorded that it took 6 FULL MINUTES from the time I clicked the icon until the application displayed on my screen. Further, the lag of switching between the various areas of the application was as high as 3-4 minutes. In essence this software is completely unusable.
I decided to try the TOSLINK connections between my speaker system and the soundcard to see if it would respond better. I set the mixer settings(via the built in Windows mixer) and I could get it to produce sound albiet only in two channel stereo. Progress, or so I thought. So I switched back to the analog connections and there was no difference in the response of the control panel. I had found some instances where an onboard or video card based HDMI audio driver might interfere with the card. I had long since disabled the on board sound of my Asus P5Q Pro motherboard via the BIOS so there were no drivers hanging around from it. I then took a look at the device manager and disabled the ATI High Defintion Audio device that was likely part of my SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 video card. This had no effect, I was still getting no sound from my speakers and the interface is abysmally lagged.
I then took the following steps to no avail:
Uninstall all Soundblaster ZX drivers and software
Restart machine
Install the updated Soundblaster ZX software from the Creative Support site: http://support.creative.com/Products...T=CategoryID:1
Nothing I have tried has resolved the issue with the virtually unusable lag that occurs when trying to run the Control Panel and/or configure the Soundblaster ZX or the amount of time it takes to start up.
Anyone experienced this and know of a fix or a remedy? I really want to enjoy this sound card.
**UPDATE**
I just wanted to post up and say that I solved this issue by first uninstalling all drivers for both the SB ZX and my Radeon graphics card. I then used Driver Fusion(http://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion) to perform a registry/file cleanup on all files associated with AMD graphics cards and Creative sound cards. Then I installed the drivers & software for the SB ZX from the CD that came in the box. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the software was responsive and the hardware was fully functioning. I then installed the software for my Radeon card however this time, I selected a custom install and chose NOT to install the HDMI audio driver. I don't know if this was key or not but at any rate, after the graphics card drivers and software was installed I am happy to report that the SB ZX software remained responsive and fully functioning.
I then updated the SB ZX software to the version linked above(1.0.22) from the version that ships on the CD - 1.0.13 and strangely the Cinematic tab disappeared from the Pro Studio control panel. Some research revealed that this tab is dependent on the Creative Labs Extras which seemed to have gotten nuked during the update. I was able to bring back the Cinematic tab by re-installing the extras from the CD, however it only installed the Dolby Digital Live component. DTS connect is still missing. I am going to do a little more research to see what I can do to get it back.
Hope this helps someone who runs into this same predicament.

Any news about the SoundBlaster Zx Linux drivers? Currently, there's no way to get even the most basic sound of it on Linux.

How do I locate the quicktime control panel (to upgrade to quicktime pro) in Windows 7 home premium?

I just paid to upgrade QuickTime and received a registration code. Tho problem is there is no way to find the QuickTime control panel via the Windows 7 Home Premium control panel. How to I ovrcome this?
p.s. I'm a newbe to QuickTime :-)

Thanks Gary,
This does not help me... the instructions state:
1. Locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel
From the Windows Desktop, click on the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel, then locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel.
However, I cannot locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel on the Windows 7 control panel -- it's not listed anywhere in the available options.

Wow,
Talk about picking the hardest solution to an easy problem. You guys were right, it wasn't driver related at all. It simply wasn't enabled in the system BIOS. I never imagined that it would be disabled as a default. I conceptualized this is Plug and Play (Which was wrong).
Thanks for the hand. BTW, MSI help desk was clueless about this (which was surprising).

Windows XP on Macbook Pro - Control Panel settings

I've been a Windows user for years, and now find that I still require my Toshiba laptop on my desk beside my Macbook Pro.
My problem today wih the MBP is problems while in Windows XP with the Control Panel. I continually reset the regional time zone settings, apply, and the computer resets back to its "own" region as soon as it is shutdown. The settings won't keep also if using screen savers, etc. in the Windows environment. I've looked through the questions in the forum, and this seems to be minor and of no problem to anyone else, but I am totally frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I also thought the infrared in the MBP which allows use of the remote, would also work in Windows. It does not which creates a problem for accessories that require infrared transmission which won't transmit on the MBP in either environment. Back to the old computer for that problem.
Thanks.

I would make sure that you have run the latest MacBook Pro Firmware upgrade from the apple support site
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html.
This may fix certain issues with those settings not saving. Also try resetting the PRAM. From what I have been told the infrared port on the intel Macs only works with the Apple Remote.
Hope this helps.

Sound Blaster Z Control Panel - does it need to be in startup?

Hey gang,
I built a new system this past week and put a new Sound Blaster Z card in it - which I am very thrilled with. I ran this new system for about 3 days with the onboard Real Tech sound, which at the time I thought was pretty good - till I put this new card in. Really liking it so far.
My question has to do with the Sound Blaster Control Panel, showing as a startup item. I have the option " start sound blaster Z control panel at startup " unchecked.
However in task manager startup tab, it shows Sound Blaster Control Panel as a startup item. It does show the sound blaster control panel listed as running in the processes tab of task manager using app 45mb of ram.
Does this process need to be running or can I disable it? Maybe it needs to be running to process sound with the settings I have chosen in the control panel?
Just curious, thanks for any tips on this.
- Don

And of course now that I have asked the question, the last couple of times I have booted and checked, that is not the case - the Sound Blaster Control Panel is not showing as a running process...
The only items I see as running processes for this card in task manager now are:
Creative Audio Service
SoundBlaster Audio Service
Strange, but I can live with that .

HT4759 iCloud Control Panel on Windows XP

Are there any workarounds to be able to download & use the iCloud Control Panel on Windows XP?

here is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
http://42i.co/s/1ii
In summary:
You need:
Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor
The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows- NOTE: old versions that work are still avaliable in my solution: http://42i.co/s/1ii
Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
Have fun!

[Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Scenario
If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
Solution
After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
In clean installation version:
In upgrade version:
The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

Clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
capabilities.
We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.
