Windows 8 compatibility list

I am involved in a modernisation project at an academic intitute, we are on the verge of getting site licenses for Multisim, Labview and also Elvis II hardware complete with the FPGA boards for our digital electronics courses.
However we have hit a road block, our IT people are very uncomfortable with the labview aspect as it is their intention to roll out Windows 8.1 across the campus at the end of this year.
This is clearly an issue as the Labview FPGA module is not windows 8.1 compatible.
Is there a list of what is and is not windows 8.1 compatible for the Labview Suite?
There is a good chance that this may sink our chances to secure Labview, so I am desperately looking for a way forward.
What is the likelyhood that this compatability issue will be resolved?
Thanks in advance

I'm surprised that LabVIEW 2013 SP1 is Windows 8.1 compatible, but FPGA 2013 SP1 isn't even Windows 8.0 compatible.
That being said there are many versions of LabVIEW that will install, and run fine on unsupported operating systems. People have been running LabVIEW 7.0 on Windows 8. LabVIEW 7 was released in 2003. You will likely not want to just take the advice of a stranger on the internet and contact NI to get a definitive answer, but I am sure it will install and run just fine.

Windows 10 Compatibility listing - Or lack thereof

I see that my system (IdeaCentre K430) is not listed as compatible with Windoes 10. Probably why the Windows 10 upgrade icon never showed up (yes; I tried all the "fixes" listed or referenced on the web; specifically the Microsoft support site). And I'm very leary of using the Windows Media Creation Tool to try to upgrade. Especially since Lenovo says my system is NOT compatible with win 10. And after reading some of the eye popping posts out here on these forums (and others). My questions are when can we expect updates to this listing? Is Lenovo working with Microsoft to get our systems compatible? How will we know when our systems "ARE" compatible? Just for the record, I'm running an I5 3350P 3.1 GHZ with config #57308924. Windows 8.1.

Willia451,
I appreciate your frustration that you did not receive a timely response, but this is primarily a peer to peer community and Lenovo can't reply in every thread as much as I wish we were able to .
As skoop suggests, this compatibility list basically covers about a 2 year window for systems that were in production during that period that Lenovo tested and supports Windows 10 on. This does not mean that Win 10 won't work on other models. It may be that some features won't be fully supported.
The icon may not show up for everyone at once as I believe microsoft is managing traffic to the servers by rolling it out in waves.
There is some good information in this thread that may help you get the upgrade, especially page three.
Best regards,
Mark

I purchased a Seagate 3T HD for my MacBook Pro but only Windows are listed n the bix (the Seagate site listed Mac) will it work???

Most external drives are formatted for Windows; you should be able to format it for Mac. Plug it in, open Disk utility, highlight the drive and choose the Partition tab. Do not worry about any software on the drive - you don't need it and it will be erased. In the partition tab, choose how many you want, name them, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, under the Options button, choose GUID partition scheme. Hit Apply. The drive will be erased and formatted. If that process does not work, contact Seagate and inquire about the Mac compatibility.

Moderator: A FAQ for Windows Compatibility forum?

Would it be possible to do a FAQ section in the Windows Compatibility forum <http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=687>? Many of the same topics are being asked repeatedly and I feel a FAQ could address most of the similar topics.
I suggest the following as topics for the FAQs:
1. Microsoft Office questions. These are not relevant to Mac and Windows compatibility and are more appropriately posted in Microsoft's discussion forums.
2. Boot Camp questions should be directed to the Boot Camp forum and Parallels questions should be directed to <http://fourms.parallels.com>.
3. The need for antivirus software for Windows when it is running on a Mac.
4. A list of links detailing how to print from a Mac to a Windows-connected printer and vice versa.

Thanks for your replies Ardian and Hardy! I'm glad to see at least the idea is supported by a few others. Maybe it will catch on.
What I find interesting is that the Windows Compatibility forum has become the dumping ground for all the "Windows" questions that don't seem to fit in the forums listed before it. You'll notice on the Forum Home page that it's at the end of the Windows Compatible Technology list. I'm sure folks are ruling out the more specific technologies such as iPod, iTunes, QuickTime, etc., and posting there when they don't know where else to post.
Windows Compatible Technology
AirPort & AirPort Express for Windows
Bonjour for Windows
Boot Camp Public Beta
iPod
iTunes for Windows
QuickTime for Windows
Windows Compatibility
Even a general FAQ link below or to the right of the the section title would be a helpful guide for folks.
I'm frustrated that more than 50% of my questions seem to be telling first time posters why their questions aren't approrpriate for the forum and which forums they should be using.

Just a suggestion, but I don't let windows AUTOMATICALLY install anything. That's a bad idea IMHO. For example, I'm in no rush to install IE7 given I use firefox most of the time.
You might want to switch things so that windows notifies you that there are updates available but then waits for you to review things and decide what you really want -- that is, do a custom install.
Of course I was stupid and immediately upgraded to itunes 7 -- an action that I will forever regret. Oy.

After updating, menus are now transparent & windows in list view black!

I recently updated via the software update control panel some security updates and a few misc. other application updates and have now discovered that Finder pull-down menus are now totally transparent with the text appearing somewhat transparent (still readable with effort, depending on background clutter on desktop). Additionally, Finder windows in list view appear with black backgrounds and the text to folders and items within that window also is black meaning that I can only see the icons and am unable to read file and folder names.
Attempts to fix this problem have thus far included permissions repair, download and reinstall the 10.4.8 combo updater and these have not worked.
I am not blaming this issue on the updates, but it coincides in timing with that and I am quite puzzled. One interesting note is that a folder now exists on the main drive directory called "Developer," which was not there before.
Does anyone have a suggestion or an idea of what this could be?
Thanks

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.

Hardware Compatibility List for installation of solaris 10 on DELL units

Hi,
I have a requirement to install solaris 10 on a few Dell servers and desktops.
I was unable to install on Dell PowerEdge SC1435 and noticed it is not on the HCL for Dell servers. This unit has dual core AMD Opteron processors. Is the HCL kept up to date, I noticed items 58 and 59 had the same description (SC1430). Should I abondon further attempts and go to the SC2950 which is on the HCL?
Also on the desktop side, both my choices, Dell OptiPlex 745 dual core, and Dell Precision 690 dual core are not on the HCL. A possible alternative on the HCL is the Precision 670.
Any info would be apprecitate.

I am also having the same issue on a Dell Poweredge SC1435. I get a "ERROR: The disc you inserted is not a Solaris OS/DVD" right after I select the machine to automatically reboot after it finishes installing. It then kicks me out to a Unix shell prompt and I notice that the CD is no longer mounted when I do a "df -k". I've done some research on the web and none of the proposed solutions worked. I'm assuming this has something to do with hardware conflicts with the machine and the fact that the machine is not on the Hardware Compat List yet.
Plus, I know my cd media is good, since I was able to install Solaris 10 x86 perfectly fine on my Dell Poweredge SC420. I'm using the latest Solaris 10 11/06 CD media.

BRM / BRFplus product compatibility list

Hi all,
Has there been a BRFplus / BRM product compatibility list created? I'm looking for something that highlights the crossover functionality, and more importantly, the times when one product would be better to use than another.
All I have seen so far is answers like 'When you are using the java stack use BRM' or 'When you are using ABAP stack use BRFplus'. This is sometimes a little too vague though since so many of SAP's products integrate with each other in some way or another.
If we could have a nice list that highlighted the best combination's of tools, that would be nice. For example if we could easily find out which rules product would integrate best with a CRM / ERP landscape. Or which rules product would work best if we were planning to use BPM alongside our CRM / ERP system and required our rules to consumed as web services in an SOA environment.
Right now I'm finding lots of information on both products, but since the products are so similar it's hard to know which one to use for a given scenario.
Any guidance appreciated!
Thanks,
Lee

Hi Chris,
We are stil working on a paper for comparison and a roadmap to bring both engines more closely together. There are some differences but there is also many similar things in the two products.
Just give us some more time.

Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

Hi I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts?

Hi, Pancake12,
Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
- To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s...
- In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this. Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
- In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-organize-my-contacts In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
Hope this helps!
Elaine

Hardware compatability list

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Syncing Windows Contact List - Contacts Lost. HELP!!!!

I just replaced my older computer and of course updated the operating system to Windows 7. In the old XP environment Outlook Express was bundled and I used the Windows contact list and it synced flawlessly with my Iphone (3GS).
Well I just did my first sync using the newer operating sytem now running the Windows Live Mail that replaced Outlook Express and although I migrated my contact list to the new Windows Live, it won't sync with my phone, so all of my contacts are gone from my phone.
Can anyone help? Itunes and the Iphone won't recognize the Windows Live contact list? Thanks in advance.

Why are Firefox 15 as well as 17 showing in my Windows Programs list ?

My 64-bit Windows 7 HP SP1 based notebook was under repair for the past couple of months. So, recently when I got it back, I upgraded Firefox manually to the latest version, i.e. 17. However, noticed that both Version 15 and 17 are listed in the Windows Programs list (Add/Remove Programs list). Can I remove / uninstall Version 15 and leave Version 17 alone, or do I need to remove both and reinstall Firefox 17 afresh ? Is this some sort of a bug in the Firefox installation process ?

Thanks Tylerdowner. Noticed just now that Version 15 is no longer listed in my Windows Programs list in Control Panel. Seems it got removed after Firefox got updated to version 17.0.1 last evening. Thanks anyway !
