Windows Vista frozen when running on a MacBook

Hello all - I have a brand new MacBook running OSX 10.6.2. I've successfully installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 via BootCamp. Apple drivers are loaded correctly and everything seems to work fine except Vista seems to FREEZE after running for a few minutes. Sometimes it lasts longer, sometimes it gets frozen immediately after logging in. Does anyone knows a cure? Much thanks!

Same problem... Tried going through all the posts... No result...
ANYONE, PLEASE HELP...

Will windows vista 64-bit run on the Macbook pro 2.33 ghz newest one?

I am contemplating on whether or not I should buy the 64 bit version of windows vista ultimate for my macbook pro, and im not sure if my computer is 64 bit capable .. let alone know what that means. Do I even need the 64 bit version? how will it help me? and will it even work on my mac?! help greatly appreciated ...

Practically speaking I think it's a waste of money unless you use Windows all the time in which case I would wonder why you have a Mac. I assume you have a Mac because that's what you use. Having Windows capability is just an after-thought and not a necessity. At least that's the impression I get from your posts.
In some cases, yes, 64-bit software could be slower because there's twice as much information that needs be processed at one time. Not all 64-bit applications will run faster than 32-bit applications. There are presently not that many 64-bit applications available, and you will have to pay additional money to replace your 32-bit versions with 64-bit versions most likely.
Does it hurt? Of course not. Is it practical? Not really for the casual Windows needs of a Mac user.

Why can I not import the videos from my iPhone 4 onto my desktop (Windows Vista)? When I plug in it imports the photos without a problem but it doesn't seem to import the videos.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes. the cursor won't enter. same thing with resolution. what did i do? what's wrong?

The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
and click yes in the dialog.

I was given a ipod nano i think it's a 3rd gen. i have windows vista and when i plug it in my computer says there are no drivers for it.... help

I was given an older ipod nano, i think it's a 3rd gen 8gb... i have searched the iternet for help and have had no luck. when i connect the ipods to my computer i tells me the usd device is not recognized. i have tried to reset it and it still gives me the samething notice. i have even uninstalled my itunes and updated to the newest itunes available and still no luck. i can not find updats for drivers. i have windows vista.. can anyone help?

Installing the latest version of iTunes should provide the "drivers."
It was definitely working properly for the person who gave it to you? Is that person a Mac user?
I would try the following. Shut down (power off) your computer. Use this procedure to reset the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
(It's the part that says How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel.)
Disconnect ALL USB devices and peripherals (including hubs) from computer, except for standared mouse and keyboard. Start up computer that way. Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a USB port that is directly on the computer.

Hp zv5242qv laptop with windows vista will not run on battery but will run on power adapter

Hello, I have a HP zv5242qv pavilion zv5000 series laptop with windows vista installed. I can run it on the power adapter with and without the battery installed but it will not power up on just the battery, the battery is new and fully charged. When I plug in the power adapter the battery light on the front of the laptop comes o then goes off, anyone have any ideas about my problem ?

Hello,
The situation you describe looks like the unit has problems with the battery, but you say the battery is new and is fully charged.
Then, the issue might be with the system board and maybe there isn't anyhting you can do.
You can try to remove the battery and the ac adapter, and keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds, then connect the ac adapter, turn on the unit, then when in windows put the battery in place, see how it is detected, the power level and restart the PC. See if the unit restarts with the battery in place, if yes, then shutdown the unit.
See what happens and report back.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

Windows Update Stalls When Running in Windows 7/Windows Virtual PC/Win XP_ Mode

Hi
This is Bob in Tallahassee. Can anyone please help. I installed Win7 Pro on a newly built PC and then Windows Virtual PC/Win XP Mode. When I try running Windows Update in the XP mode window, it keeps cycling "searching for updates"
and never reaches the next step, never stops cycling. I checked msconfig and there is a process "svchost.exe" eating 99% of resources. It is likely related to windows update. When I shut it down, my internet connection is cut
off, but the Windows Update still keeps cycling. I have tried all I know, including optimizing bios for virtualization. Is there another setting that I'm missing? Thanks. Bob

Hi,
I find some error information in your log:

Is there a way to auto-configure the optimal screen settings for a macbook pro running windows 7? When running Lion the screen looks 10x better.

Just like the title reads. 2011 MBP Quad Core 15". Used boot camp to instal Windows 7 Home premium but screen resolution is bad. Thank you

No. Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and click on the Continue button. You'll see in that screen a checkbox to download drivers. Check that box and uncheck the other boxes. Have a freshly formatted USB flash drive or hard drive connected. Must be partitioned MBR and formatted FAT32. You can format it while in Windows. Have it connected when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Once you click on the Continue button again BCA will attempt to download the drivers.
Once you have the drivers boot Windows. It should autorun the installer you downloaded after Windows gets itself settled in.

I have Firefox 7.0.1 install on my laptop running Windows Vista. When visiting some website, the program automatically default to a mobile version of the website rather than the full website. How can I stop this from happening?

No additional information is available

Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
* ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
* See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

Im having trouble updating itunes so u can update my iphone 4 im installing itunes on windows vista and when it installs it says it has encountered an error and cannot continue install

having problems updating my itunes so i can update my iphone4 it wont install itunes i already have itunes on my pc but it wont update it. ive tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but to no success

hi rhapsody!
... okay, it's not that one. a pity because we had a straightforward fix for that one (upgrading to 6.0.3.5 or 6.0.4.2).
your particular message when plugging in an ipod, can be fiddly to troubleshoot. i haven't seen many commonalities amongst the non-6.0.2.23 reports and resolutions. so we'll work through various possibilities that have had some success with various cases of this.
first, let's try some spring cleaning and maintenance. download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer them, do online scans too. (they can sometimes pick up malware if the security software on the PC has been compromised.) head to Windows update and make sure you're up-to-date in that regard too. do a disk cleanup, run your favorite disk checking/repair utility, and do a disk defrag. reboot.
if no joy with that, we'll check to see if you're getting an interaction between your security software and the ipod. as an experiment, try switching off your security software (antivirus, etc) prior to a synch. do you still get the itunes has message then?
if no joy with that, check to see if the drivers on your PC are up to date. this resource might be helpful with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
keep us posted on your progress.

Windows Vista Crashing When Ipod is Plugged In. Blue Screen of Death?

A week ago, my computer suddenly started to reboot whenever I plugged my 5th generation 80 gig Ipod in to sync. A blue screen will pop up, and automatically restart.
I do not believe this is the blue screen of death that appeared 2 months ago. I have upgraded to Itunes 8.0.1 when it was first released, and I had no problems until a week ago. I haven't heard of anyone receiving the blue screen of death since the update to Itunes 8 was released.
I have also lost all of my music from my Ipod, so I am anxious to figure this out.
Here is what the blue screen (certain passages paraphrased, the specifics were copied directly):
A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
BADPOOLHEADER
If this is the firs time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yoru computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Make sure all hardware and software is properly installed
If it continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware and software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shawoding. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 for Advanced Sartup options, then select safe mode.
Technical information:
*STOR: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0xB7C4CE50, 0Xb7C4CE68, 0x0A030203)
/end blue screen
Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried the troubleshooting advice in this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
Was a file name mentioned in the stop message? usually something.sys That can be a clue to the problem is the Apple advice doesn't help.

I have Windows Vista and when i click uninstall windows asks for permission then the usual uninstall process does not take place please help Carl

I cant uninstall Firefox in the normal way please help, the operating system on my pc is Vista I can only get as far as allowing windows permission then nothing happens

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I have Windows Vista and when I import a disk, certain quiet songs have a horrible noise in them, like someone is pulling the tip of a record player across a record with the volume at max. Help?

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen, click the "copy to clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.
