Windows intallation freez

Hi
I have a Macbook Pro, and am trying to install windows XP with bootcamp. when the intallation reaches setting the regional date and time it freezes.
I have tried woth a non apple mouse to no avail. I have also got fusion for when windows in running. What do I do to unfreez the intallation.
I am not an expert in tech matters.

Would like to know two things:
1. How big is the boot camp/windows partition?
2. Have you ensured that there are no external peripherals connected to your macbook pro during installation?

    So i came here, forum's are always beter.
    Loads of websites and communities are saying that windows 7 will be free if you bought your notebook between 26 june? and 31 october 2010, i bought mine 1 july, so i was ordering my upgradekit, it said 24,99 euro... naw never mind he...
    i thought that i just had to download it, since it's an action to get rid of vista, since it had so many bugs and it just failed?
    i really want to know how and where to get the free version.

    Did you try to repair Apple Software Update?
    That is the important thing to try.
    If that doesn't work we would need to try something else.

  • Support for windows 10 FREE UPGRADE for E Machines EL1358G WITH NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE NForce 30

    i have an emachines EL1358g-51w that came with a NVIDIA GeForce 6450SE NForce 30 ( i believe motherboard ) and i went to upgrade my current windows 7 home basic to the new Windows 10 free upgrade ( which microsoft indicated that i was eligible for the free upgrade one month or so ago ) ..... on sunday i went to upgrade through microsoft now microsoft indicates " the display manufacturer ( emachines/acer ) hasn't made your display compatible with windows 10. check with the manufacturer for support "i went to the nvidia websight ...they indicate see emachines .... i went to the emachines websight ...they indicate see the acer websight ...the acer websight ( per their live agent ) indicates i have to wait until ACER does the update for my specific computer ...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE ...

    mrtease3,
    I do not see your unit listed as an eligible model that eMachines will be posting drivers for Windows 10. The drivers that we have posted on our support site are what we have qualified for the system, and based on the age of the unit there will not be newer ones uploaded. If you want to remove the installed graphics driver and try to install one directly from NVidia you can see if that will resolve it for you.

  • Format windows intallation directory alone

    Hi,
    details- pavilion dv6 3052 tx purchased before 1.5 years
    I want to format windows intallation directory alone because i am having sensitive information in my hard disk and one more thing is i am not able to take backup of that data because my OS is corrupted.
    Is it possible to do with recovery process ? 

    Hello rajkannan90. What is the exact problem you're having that doesn't allow you to boot into Windows?
    If the problem has shown itself recently you could try to use HP's Recovery Manager to perform a Microsoft System Restore. A system restore only restores the system files and drivers back to a known working state and should leave all personal files intact. This document covers this process. Microsoft System Restore is coverd under the "advanced recovery options available through F11"
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Windows Azure Free Trial Sign-up BUG

    Hi, I'm from the Philippines. Few minutes ago, I tried to sign up for free trial on Windows Azure using my SMART Money (a Debit Card in the Philippines but works with MasterCard). I can verify this card on PayPal and shop online using this card. I entered
    all valid information (triple checked it!) but an error keeps popping up and I can't register at all while my card is charged with $1 for every try!
    I'm really frustrated because I already tried it 2 times and my card is charged $2 already!!!
    What will happen to my $2? Will I get any refund? Should I try again and be charged another $1? What should I do? Please help me. I'm really depressed right now. I lost $2 on nothing. I really want to try your VPS.
    Hoping for a reply. Thanks in advance!

  • Windows 8 free upgrade tool for model VPCF226FM

    Hi everyone I used before to download the free upgrade tool from support website, where it helped me to uninstall incompitable drivers/tools/utilities and re-install them later after upgrading to Windows 8 I am not able to find that tool anymore and downloading/installing drivers one by one is not working fine. I have removed power management & Vaio control center and re-installed more than dozen time and still have same issue as unable to use FN keys to control brightness

     
    Hi athensguy, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    I am not sure what specific application you used before but all drivers and software that is compatible with your machine are listed on eSupport website. If you are refereeing to the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8, please visit this link: Windows® 8 Upgrade Instructions for VAIO® PCs 
    If your main issue is the function key (Fn), you may follow these steps to troubleshoot the laptop. 
    Power Cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
    Reset BIOS. 
    Got o Device Manager -> Keyboards -> right click Keyboard driver -> Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE) -> restart the laptop. The driver will be reinstalled.  
    Download or update all the drivers from eSupport website.  
    For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope these help.

  • No sound after Windows 10 free upgrade from WIN7 on G71-340US laptop with IDT CODEC.

    After free upgrade from WIN7 to WIN10 my laptop no longer has any sound (with internal or external speakers). I have tried uninstalling IDT driver and allowing Windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scan for HW changes - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes for this problem. Thank you.

    I am happy to report I now have sound on my G71-340US laptop. After further trial and error troubleshooting I found that there is an app called IDT PC Audio (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM) I think. While I'm not exactly sure what this app's function is it appears it is related to activating IDT HD Codec drivers functionality. Somehow I decided to look in Task Manager - Startup and saw this IDT PC Audio listed. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on enable. After I did that, as simple as it appears, I now was able to hear sound both on internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard any sound since upgrading to WIN10. I have checked it several times by re-booting my laptop and each and every time I now have sound. I'll continue to test this through the week and see if it continues to be OK. Meanwhile, I thought I would share this potential fix (or workaround) with all concerned. Perhaps others will find this useful and provide me your feedback. Keeping my fingers crossed! PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what IDT PC Audio is by all means share your knowledge. I am curious why this app doesn't appear more often in the forum posts and how it may relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I don't recall what prompted me to look at Task Manager - Startup but I'm glad I did. It's great to hear sound again!

  • Charged for Windows Azure free trail

    What's going on I activated the free trail which from the sound of it is FREE, I got an email saying the trail has ended and my account will be closed okay that's all good but I just looked and was charged 86 dollars from Microsoft for Windows Azure. I really
    don't have that money right now and I really need someone to help me with being charged for a free service.

    Hi,
    The credit card is not billed and during the free trial you’ll have a spending limit set to $0, but from my experience, if your bill is over $200, then you'll be charged, about this billing issue, I would suggest you contact support, it
    is a best choice, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at
    http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/ Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a
    support ticket for you

  • Is windows installing free on bootcamp?

    Is windows 8 installing free on bootcamp?
    I am wondering is it free, because videos what I watched from YouTube, they dont put any cerditcard number or anythin like that to there..
    Ps: Sorry for my bad english

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp is free because it's included with OS X, but you have to pay for Windows. You don't see anything on Boot Camp asking for a credit card because Boot Camp just helps you to install Windows on your Mac, but to use it, you need a Windows DVD (or a ISO file, depending on the computer) and a product key.
    If you want the steps to install Windows on a MacBook, see > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
