What do I do when I get a message that adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

What do I need to do when a website sends me a message that my adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

Are you using Adobe Reader 7 on Windows 8? If so, the message is probably correct and you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader (which is XI).
If you already have Reader XI, maybe you can give us some more details about where you are at and what you are doing when you get this message.

This hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage

My bother (who resides in another state) just purchased an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. He tried to connect it to his computer than has XP Pro as the OS, and gets the following error message:
"this hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage"
Anyone run across or heard of this problem?

Hi,
This explaination may help. The CD which came with the printer may not cover for this situation. My suggestion: go to this site to download XP driver & application then install them on the XP machine.

Itunes 7.6 update not passing windows logo testing for compatibility

I have tried to update itunes 3 times. It downloads fine but when it gets to the installation part, I get a warning from windows saying that this software has not passed the windows logo test for compatibility and that if I proceed with the installaton, The system may get impaired. So I stop installation, but eventually I have to update itunes. My ipod gets updated but itunes is not. Lately I've been having problems with my ipod acting buggy. Is this familiar to anyone? Why is this happening and what do I need to do? Thanks!

With that particular message, it might be worth checking through the techniques from the following Microsoft document:

Java update and real player update not compatable with firefox 6 on Windows 7. Will they still function right?

When i opened firefox today , there were updates but when it tried to update it came back that java and real player updates were not compatable with my firefox. I have Firefox 6. Will these 2 programs still work all right if they are not updated?
I'm sorry I don't know what installed plugins I have. After putting in search it says I have Java 6 Standard Edition Update 26. I have Real Player(tm)(win32), Version 14.0.4 652. Hope that is enough information

I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode?

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

Lightroom6 instalation rejects installation on Windows 7 with remark that windows vista is not supported

I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

Hi Michael,
You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
Let us know if it works or not.
Thanks,

Windows vista is not compatible with itunes64bit install

I have downloaded the itunes 64bit setup and it does not work with my windows vista pc. I just bought a new pc and haveing compatibility problems with the vista and itunes and quicktime. does anyone know how to fix this?

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/Zantardaman/ItunesError.jpg
This 'should' be a link to a picture that is being talked about. It's happening on my copy of 64 bit vista as well, using the most up to date installer for 8.1.1 itunes. Incase this link doesn't workin on these forums (my 1st post) here is what it says word for word.
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
Since I'm pretty sure Vista doesn't default to safe mode EVERY time you log in, I'd say my problem is of the later type. Any assistance would be nice, but if nobody replys shortly I do plan on calling support and bugging them for as many hours as it may take to get the problem fixed.
Edit: I just realized that we are both running gateways. Though he/she said gateway said it was an apple problem. Anyways, just thought I'd throw that note out there.

Windows 8.1 not recognizing Webcams

Has this problem of Windows 8.1 not recognizing webcams been fixed yet?
I updated to 8.1 and my webcam was not recognised (Microsoft Lifecam Cinema) I thought my cam may be faulty so bought a new com (Logitech C270) same problem.
So finally I reinstalled Windows 8 at the cost of losing every thing on my hard drive. I want update as I liked most of 8.1 but will not until I can use my webcams.
I went through all the rigmarole of reinstaling drivers etc. So please dont give be the stock answer of installation as its already been done.
All I need to know is if Microsoft has fixed this problem or not.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
With so many brands of webcams and cameras available, there are many reasons why something might not work. Each brand is different, so it's a good idea to check the manufacture's website for user guides and troubleshooting help.
I checked Windows Compatibility Center, found Logitech C270 Webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. However, some people still had problem with Windows 8.1.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Logitech%20C270%20Webcam&vendor=Logitech&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=V-U0018&BreadCrumbPath=Logitech%20C270&LastSearchTerm=Logitech%2BC270&Type=Hardware&tempOsid=Windows%208.1
If you have any problem with Webcam in Windows 8.1. You can provide as more as details about your problem, then we can work together to resolve this problem.

Windows 7 gadgets not displaying properly. Black squares or don't appear at all with blue exclamation marks next to it.

My gadgets on Windows 7 have suddenly stopped working properly since 2 days ago. I have tried:
System restore
UAC is ON
cmd scannow (no results),
tried the registry thing, didn't work either.
How to fix this?
That's how it looks...
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/Katjushka_/fuckedgadgets.jpg

I do not personally recommend the alternate work-around of deleting any registry keys and/or reducing any of your internet security zones. I have found fixes to it in a more secure way below, as I consolidated and cleaned up countless snips from many
forums all over the place (cited sources of where I could remember I found the concepts); Here's my research notes: full disclaimers, hold me harmless, and always backup first!
IE11 BUG:
This bug in the public release version of Internet Explorer 11 (aka IE 11 aka IE11 RTM gold release) causes Windows 7 Gadgets to bug out.
Specifically, with IE11 installed on Windows 7, due to a bug in IE11, increasing DPI past 110% triggers SOME of the Gadgets to glitch, bug out, completely disappear, etc. This bug can be worked-around and "fixed" by modifying its Sidebar gadget.xml
<autoscaleDPI>... described in detail below.
This bug is irrelevant to Windows 8 / 8.1 because Microsoft removed the beloved Gadgets entirely in Win8 due to so many third-party evilware writers embedding malware into their "free" downloaded Gadgets (note to the best of my current knowledge,
using the standard Microsoft Gadgets included with Windows 7 are all perfectly safe).
To reiterate, notice the following Microsoft article is only talking about potential malware in third-party downloaded Gadgets, and specifically I do NOT see where it mentions any problems using any of the official Microsoft build-in Windows 7 gadgets, cited
from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dn261332
BUG FIX:
Option 1: Set DPI back to 100% Smaller Fonts (default) or maximum 110% and the Gadgets come back to life and work fine upon relog.
Option 2: If you need greater than 110% DPI, and want Gadgets to work, then... For each broken Gadget, modify its protected file: gadget.xml   (as detailed below).
FIRST, TEMPORARILY CHANGE DPI BACK TO 100% (DEFAULT) JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE HIDDEN/GLITCHED GADGETS IN ORDER TO FIX THEM.
Note as a side-effect, after the "fixed" Gadgets in question come back they may look smaller in comparison with the ones that were not affected by the DPI bug (because this fix locks their DPI at default 100% whereas your others are dynamically changed).
Located in: C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
Inside that folder, find the glitched Gadget you want to fix, go into its specific folder, and edit its gadget.xml, Remove the following tag completely:
<autoscaleDPI>true</autoscaleDPI>
Deleting that tag from the gadget.xml file resolves the issue even if the DPI is set to 125%. Setting the tag to allow autoscale doesn't help. BE CAREFUL not to leave a blank line!
Concepts:
1. Make backup of effected gadget.xml somewhere
2. Task Manager -> End Process of "sidebar.exe" to unlock all Gadget's files
3. Take temporary ownership and give yourself RW permission to modify Gadget's files
4. Put all Gadget file ownership and RW permissions back to "TrustedInstaller" for security
5. Change DPI and relog to relaunch Gadgets
Details:
From Security Tab in Properties of file you want to change >>Click Advanced >>Select Owner >>Click Edit >>Click Other users or Groups >>Click Advanced >>Click Find Now, make yourself owner, then add write access for yourself.
Launch NOTEPAD or similar editor as ADMIN, to modify the gadget.xml file (the folder structure itself is still permissions-protected, but I strongly suggest you leave that alone and just use admin for editing this one file this one time)
Put Ownership and all permissions back to what they were (First, set read-only for everyone EXCEPT leave RW alone for the TrustedInstaller service, and THEN set Owner back to TrustedInstaller).
NOTE: TrustedInstaller does not exist in the "visible" users and groups as it runs as an NT Service. Don't panic. To restore its special ownership:
    Right mouse button click on the file and choose Properties
    Click Security tab
    Click Advanced button
    Click Owner tab
    Click Edit button
    Click Other User or Group and type in: NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller
    Search and click Ok on all dialogs until all property dialogs are closed etc.
Cited from http://blogs.msdn.com/irenak/archive/2007/01/30/sysk-277-how-to-bring-back-the-trustedinstaller.aspx
Double-confirm you set all regular users and groups permissions are reverted defaults back to what they were (read-only), and the *ONLY* Owner/RW is TrustedInstalled, to lock it back down for security reasons! E.G. to avoid future vulnerability!
To test:
I fixed my Clock gadget.xml but left the Calendar alone. Changed DPI to 125% and relog off/on and notice Clock now works, but yes it looks slightly smaller than the working Calendar Gadget which isn't effected by this bug. Repeat process for Calender
if you want it smaller to match, but it works fine bigger. Repeat this process for all of your favorite broken Gadgets using IE11 on Windows 7.
Notes:
1.) Personally I view this as a work-around not a true fix, but considering Microsoft officially discontinued Gadgets as mentioned earlier, it's possible this bug may take a very long time, if ever, to be officially fixed.
2.) IE11 also bugs out a lot of other things such as Outlook 2003 spellcheck, and other general software compatibility issues, especially in Windows 7, so it's probable that some or all of IE11's bugs should be eventually fixed in the future - thereby as a
side effect may also officially fix Gadgets some day too.
3.) Other concepts cited here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/448f9665-c043-48d2-9049-b74131bab7b1/gadgets-not-working-with-ie11-win7-pro-sp1-not-win81-preview?forum=iewebdevelopment

Itunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows 8.1 not playing Video

First time post, hope i entered it right.
I installed Itunes 11.1.5.5 (64 bit) on a new HP with Win 8.1 (with updates). Itunes will not play any videos (home or, those off on the store). Sound will start, then stop, and the video itself never starts. However, the videos will play on Media Player and another video player on my desktop.
If I set compatibilty mode to Vista (sp2), they play in Itunes. But Itunes sends up a warning message when it loads with compatabilty mode set, the warning says to "turn off compatiblity mode for best results". And from what I've read compatabilty mode on for Itunes can cause other challanges.
Is there some fix or configuration setting I need to change so videos will play in normal mode? Or do we just see how the compatibility mode setting plays out.

Hello there, TMacID14.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great pointers tor troubleshooting playback issues in iTunes:

Hello I bought Lightbox4 but it was not compatable with XP which was on my computer so I bought Wind

Hello I bought Lightbox4 but it was not compatable with XP which was on my computer so I bought Windows 7 now it works fine, I also have Photoshop Elelements 11, I was using CS3 which I like very much, I have just tried tore- download it again and the message I have is that the Installer is corrupt, is there anything I can do? I can not afford to buy it again can you help?

You can download legacy versions from here:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Just make sure you are obeying the correct install order - older versions must be installed before newer stuff, i.e. your CS3 must be installed before LR4 and PSE 11. in fact your corruption error could be just that - the CS3 envcountering stuff it doesn't understand because it is newer than itself.

After updating waterfox 12.0 to 15.0, but while launching from task bar its giving error not compatable version 15.0 min/max version 12.0

after updating waterfox 12.0 to 15.0, and i opend the app and pin it to the task bar (windows 7 64bit enterprise edition) but while launching from task bar its giving error not compatable version 15.0 min version 12.0 ,max version 12.0

Such an error is caused by some files that weren't updated successfully, so you are left with a mixture of files from different Firefox versions.<br />
There is usually some security software involved that protects .ini files against modification (update).
You will still have to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.
