Windows 7 starter problem

i recently bought an ipod touch for my son, we tried to install itunes, but we get a message, something about windows installer. is there a way to install itunes on a netbook running windows 7 starter, or do we have to upgrade to windows home premium. what about ubuntu? would we be better off downloading that and using it instead?

Are you getting an "iTunes has stopped working" message when you try to play the movies?
If so, try the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Login Window starting problem

I just got a iBook G3 Dual USB for Christmas and it had 10.3.3 and i upgraded it to 10.3.9 and now all it does is boot to the loading screen and wont get past the Login Window start part, the mouse is still moving so its not freezed. I also get cant boot into safe boot because the same thing happens. I dont have the restore/install cd either.

Colton.
You need to purchase a set of Panther 10.3.x installation discs.
By using the Jaguar 10.2.x discs, or model specific discs on the iBook, you may have further compromised the system.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs must look exactly like the images in the above links.

Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

X99S SLI Plus Windows start problem

Hello everyone,
A few days ago I was using my Windows 8.1 x64 in legacy mode and was working normally.
I made an update in the bios to the version E7885IMS V1.70(170) and decide to format and use the UEFI mode with MSI fast boot and the Windows 8.1 feature. But now when turn on my computer appears the MSI logo with the windows load screen and then it freeze in this screen, I got to turn on my computer if I go2bios and exit than start, but now when I made this again the windows screen is loading forever. Is there any known issue about this?
Follow my config:
X99S SLI Plus
Intel Core i7-5960X
32GB G.Skill 2400Mhz
GeForce GTX 780 ti
480gb Intel SSD 730 Séries
Thanks at all foks.

Hi
Was Win 8.1 actually installed in UEFI mode? Make sure it is first.
In the meantime, >>Clear CMOS<< and see if you can boot normally without any features being enabled.
Your graphics card got latest vBIOS that is UEFI compatible? Contact manufacturer for vBIOS with UEFI support.

Are you guys going to fix the iTunes 10.5 start problem for Windows 64?

Windows 7 , 64 bit. If you have any connection at all to the Internet, I am sure you are aware of the iTunes not starting problem. ALL the suggested fixes are useless for some...uninstall, reinstall, drive wipe, reboot, registry edit, registry cleaners.....all to no avail. APPLE stuff is supposed to work....I have 2 new phones here that require 10.5 to work......blah. When you click the icon, or try to start from the .exe for that matter, it appears like it is about to start...and then nothing......if you check task manager, you can see it is running.......I have tried every permutation of a fix, including wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Win7 and updating......no good
Come on APPLE fix this problem......dont make me buy android phones.......

On the "flip-side", I had the smoothest and quickest iTunes upgrade/install ever. This was on my Windows 7 Professional, 64bit system.
That you performed an assumedly 'clean' reinstall of your OS, is not a good sign. Obviously, iTunes doesn't like something within your system.
Here are the next steps that I would take if in your position:
- Are you absolutely positive that you have the 64bit version of iTunes?
- Re-download a new copy of the 64bit version of iTunes 10.5
- Try downloading iTunes from one of the 'mirror sites' - FileHippo is good
- Call your PC's manufacturer and see if they are aware of any conflicts with your specific machine's build with respect to iTunes
- Temporarily use another PC (if available) to get your iPhones up and running
Best of Luck

MSI RX9250-TD128 Problem: Jumbled video at top of monitor after windows starts

I'm trying to intsall my new MSI radeon 9250 128MB video card in my year 2000 vintage Dell dimension 750 series desktop.
I've tried installing all of the drivers provided on the driver cd and I keep getting the problem of a jumbled bar of video displayed at the very top of my monitor once Windows starts up i.e. once display would go to 1600X1400 or whatever.
I am able to boot up in safe mode.
About my computer:
Windows 2000 professional
750 MHz pentium iii processor
340 mb ram
an AGP slot that fits the card (im not sure what type, anyone know how i can check if it is 2x 4x 8x?, i don't think this is the problem though because it is supposed to be compatible with 4x)
note: when i open up the device manager and go under display adapters, radeon 9200 series.. the "general" tab says that there is no driver installed. However, when I look under the driver tab, it lists the driver that is installed and the various driver files that are installed.
another note: in the device manager there are two display adapters, "radeon 9250" and "radeon 9250 (secondary)" i tried turning the secondary off and it didn't solve the problem
Also, is there an MSI technical support email that works? I've tried emailing [email protected] from two different email accounts and I'm getting it returned.
Thank you

Can't fsck to get past hang at 'Login Window Starting' at start up

Someone in the OS X forum suggested I might try posting this here.
I have an old clamshell ibook that I upgraded (added more memory) in order to load OS X. After I loaded OS X 10.3 and started up, the updater told me that an update was available. I downloaded it and began the update...my battery died in mid update. Now when I start up, it gets to "login window starting" and stalls. I have tried Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk (nothing really to repair). I have used Disk Warrior and this tells me that my directory needs to be rebuilt, I have rebuilt it, restarted and the same thing happens. When I go back to disk warrior, it tells me the directory needs to be repaired and this just repeats.
I have tried a safe startup and the start up stalls at the same "login window starting" point. I have tried starting in single-user mode and I get a long pause, then alot of characters, but the cursor never allows me to type the fsck commands. I have tried resetting the Power Managment Unit (to no avail). One of the lines that shows up when I start up in single-user mode is in yellow and says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ApplePMU." Which I took to mean was a problem with the power management unit.
To make matters worse, I have only the original 3 gb hard drive in the ibook and therefore no space to install os x with an archived copy of the system's current software. I have tried resetting PRAM and I have shut down by holding the power switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Brian,
Alas, no...this is one of the original clamshells. I have found that I can force the ibook to start up from an old OS 9 install cd and see the hard drive on the desktop/access files, so I have saved my critical data to a usb removable drive. The crisis is averted and I'm thinking of trying to get back to OS X through a series of installs and updates starting with the OS 9 install disk. If this fails, I'll just do a clean install of OS X and reload everything.
Thanks, Chris

HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
1) Format windows 7 os
2) Delete All partition and re-create
3) Re-install windows 7
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.
"SuperJbye replied on July 14, 2013
Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"
"EddJosh replied on April 29, 2014
In reply to Danel...'s post on April 28, 2014
To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

[SOLVED] GNOME 3.8 annoying window resize problem

Hello all fellow early-adopters :-)
A very annoying quirk I've noticed, moving from GNOME 3.6 to 3.8, is that it no longer remembers, nor retains, the size/positions I set for many of my application windows. For example, my mail client (Evolution) is sized to fill most of my screen (centrally), with Empathy and Skype as long narrow windows on both sides - giving me a nice, broad "communications" overview on that particular desktop (with dev tools etc open on others).
On 3.6, this layout was retained during my session, as well as next time I started these apps up.
In GNOME 3.8, not only does it insist that these windows are always started as small little bunched-up windows that I need to resize, but every time a window displays a notification/warning (message in internal yellow bar inside the window - such as loss of internet connection, mail retrieval failure etc) it resizes the windows spontaneously to a stupid, small size that overlays the other windows. This is driving me crazy!
Where can I learn a bit more about how window sizing / positioning works in GNOME 3.8, or is it finally time to switch to awesome wm? I want to love GNOME 3.8, I really do. It's so slick, but so... unpolished.
I want to dig in an assist with problems like these, but I need some pointers to some background material first to understand the problem. Is it the window manager? Is it the app?
** UPDATE: Doing a full system upgrade, as of May 18, 2013, has resolved this annoying problem. My windows now stay where they belong, and start with the same size they were closed with. GNOME is now pleasant to use again :-)

I really like GNOME 3.x though (and would like to understand the windowing behaviour), but if the annoying quirks are insurmountable, I will happily switch.
Man I love GNOME 3.x. I admire the courage they had to change, basically, everything, and I find myself more productive with my GNOME 3 Arch box than with my good ol' Slackware KDE 4 box. I just hate those bugs - for example I filed a task in their bugtracker for this window resize problem I have with gedit. If it's a love/hate relationship, I think it's marriage ^_^
With the 3.8 upgrade, deadbeef was having a similar problem with window size/position. I just recompiled it against the latest GTK+3 package upgrade (that came after the 'big upgrade' here on Arch) and it was fixed. But not with gedit

Man I really hope this gets fixed soon, because aside from this one incredibly annoying issue I am loving gnome 3.8.
I get the feeling gnome badly needs more beta testers, sizable regressions like this in "stable" releases happen way too often sad.
I get the exact same feeling. Well bugs exist everywhere, there's no denying. But I think it would be wiser to 'alternate' the nature of each major stable release - one focusing on new features and one focusing on fixing bugs. For example if the only new features in GNOME 3.10 were the AppsFolder full implementation and the introduction of gnome-calendar, and the rest of the development cicle being devoted to fix bugs, I'd be more than happy.
Like Fedora and Ubuntu, the fixed 6-month release cycle colaborates with the bugs. They don't do like Debian or Slackware which are released 'when they are ready'.
EDIT: fout (yet) another bug. At least with facebook chat (haven't tested with other telepathy plugins) the buddy tray icon appear duplicate. Anybody with the same issue?

Connecting iPod Nano 8GB video model to Windows 2k problems

Hello!
I hope someone can help, I had a MacBook that died and now I need to move our 4 iPods to the windows 2k environment. When you plug in the iPod it says that it needs to be converted to Windows, not problem, I click "OK" then iTunes starts and gives me the following message:
The iPod "IPOD2" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later.
Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K? Any help could be appreciated.
I have the latest version for W2K, and I have 1 Nano that has syncd fine. Anyone have any ideas, I have searched and tried all the tech docs I could find to no avail. The iPod is visible in "My Computer" but when you click on it it asks if I want to format it, worried about doing that. Can't find any instructions on resetting the iPod back to factory/out of the box WITHOUT ITUNES! that may help!
Thanks,
John

Ther is NO 7.6 for Windows 2K?
I'm afraid not. The last version of iTunes for Windows compatible with Windows 2000 was 7.3.2:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes732forwindows2000.html
... and the third generation (video) nanos require at least iTunes 7.4.x (and 7.6 is currently recommended).

Freezing at "Login Window starting"

Hello, my PB won't get past login screen. It freezes specifically when it says "Login Windows starting".
Apple Hardware Test comes out fine but I can't repair using Disk Utility (the disk or permissions). Haven't tried Disk Warrior yet. I've tried starting in Safe Mode to no avail. I tried resetting PRAM and PMU with the same result.
Is there any other possible solution to my startup woes before I concede defeat and take this bad boy in to an Apple store?

I'm sure you're ready to turn in the computer for repair or troubleshooting but I have a couple of suggestions if you haven't tried them already. First, when you open Disk Utility from your installation disc, on the bottom after selecting your hard drive, what does it say next to S.M.A.R.T. status? Does it say "Failing"? My experience is that this finds problems with hard drives better than Apple Hardware Test. If it says "Verified", have you tried to re-install your operating system, either "Archive and Install" or "Erase and Install?" I would attempt an Archive and Install first, then an Erase and Install and see how that goes. Good luck.

Does Adobe Reader XI work with Windows Starter 7?

I've been having trouble downloading Adobe Reader XI. It kept hanging at 96% during the installation. I tried to restart and download again and checked for viruses, but the installation never worked. I also tried the adobe cleaner to clean the product, restart and try the installation again. That didn't work. I also tried the direct download link and that didn't work either. In fact the direct download ended by saying there was a 150210 error ( no idea what that means :/ ).
So now I'm looking at the specs and wondering if the problem this whole time is that it's not compatible with WIndows Starter 7. Some tech specs don't specifically list Starter 7 (it's just assumed with Windows 7). Should this be working on my system or not? And if it is supposed to be working, how can I get the installation to work?
Thanks in advance.

I think the Reader installer should work on any Windows 7 edition. I don't know what the 150210 error means.
Try if you can succeed with the MSI installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi (English version 11.0.0).

Automatic start of particular excel file at window start up

Hi,
I created an excel file for reminders. That pop ups at system start up. It has a short cut in start up folder ( C:\Users\drsantoshsinghrathore\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART ). The problem is, that it starts up every time I start excel and show
up in vba explorer window. I want it to open only once at system or window start up. Is there any other way, please ?
regards.

Hi,
As far as I know, if we add the Excel file\template in
Excel xlstart folder (C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart.), it will automatically open the file\template when you start Excel. Thus, we do not to add the short cut in the Excel start up folder.
We could add the file to Windows startup folder and delete the file in Excel start up folder. And then, it'll open only once at system or window start up.
Your personal startup folder should be C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
The all user startup folder should be C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Photoshop7 start problem

On my Windows Vista PC I run several Adobe programs: the CS3 suite, Illustrator9, Reader9, but also Photoshop7 and ImageReady7. Two days ago suddenly all Adobe programs refused to start, including the Reader . Apparently, there was a problem with the licences. I have downloaded the LicenceRecovery program from Adobe Support, and having run it, as expected, all programs did run again.......except for one: Photoshop7. Every time when I start the program, it begins loading all the necessary modules, but then a Windows error message appears, saying that the program stopped running, that there is a problem (?) and that I have to close the program.
I've tried several times to de-install and re-install Photoshop7 and ImageReady7 (they both came on the same disc). Every time Set-up congratulates me that I have succesfully installed the programs, while in fact the start problem persists. ImageReady starts, Photoshop does'nt. As Photoshop7 is now an oudated program, Adobe's helpdesk refuses me to help . I suspect that something in the Windows Registry has been corrupted (by LicenceRecovery?), but I have no idea where to look for. Has anyone encountered this problem before, and If so what was the solution?

Photoshop 7 no longer works in Leopard OSX 10.5
Photoshop 7 was released in March 2002, it is now 10 years old.
Sorry for your problems, but you have only 2 possible solutions:
Roll back the OS to an earlier version
Upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop (to save some money you could just get Photoshop Elements instead)
You might want to download a trial version to Photoshop Elements to see if it does what you need before spending any money.
Good Luck

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
"an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
Any suggestions?

Windows 7 problem loading CS4ext.

Hi. My problem started when I decided to use Windows 7 Home Premium and Photoshop CS4 Ext, .upgrading from XP Home and CS2. Prior to loading these I reformatted my HDD's etc using an 80GB drive for C:// and repartitioning a 320GB drive to 150GB and 150GB. Windows 7 is on the C: drive, but now I cannot load the Adobe PSCS4 ext. DVD disk. Each time I try it comes up with Access Denied. I am not too well versed in software and wonder if anyone can sulpply a solution.. I know there are some compatibility problems with some older programs. Thanks .

This might work.
