Windows Vista Wi-Fi sofware erased.

I believe I have erased my software for my Wi-Fi Drive.
How can i get it back without my disk. Tried to restore no restore point.
Is there a way for you to scan my computer over the internet?
If so could you? I am currently using a Belkin external antenna.
Will this affect anything?
Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hi
It sounds like you would not have a big computer experience.
First of all its interesting to know what notebook model you have.
Secondly Im wondering why you believe that you have erased the WLan driver?
Go to the device manager and check if the WLan card is listed in Network Adapters.
If you could see the WLan card then the WLan driver is installed properly.

If you want the shuffle to be always visible in Windows (outside of iTunes), you need to Enable disk use.
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, select the Summary tab. You should see a checkbox that says Enable disk use. Check it and click Apply.
NOTE: If disk use is enabled, you have to Eject the shuffle in iTunes, BEFORE you physically disconnect it. If disk use is NOT enabled, you can disconnect the shuffle at any time, as long as iTunes is not doing something with it at that moment (such as syncing); the shuffle's light will then be blinking (to indicate DO NOT DISCONNECT).
So, unless you want to use the shuffle like a USB flash drive (carry random files on it), you may want to NOT Enable disk use.

Windows Vista wont install Ipod drivers

OK I NEED HELP....
I have Windows Vista and I am trying to install my iPod Nano, but everytime I plug my iPod in it ask me to insert the CD that came with it. As I don't have a CD I just click to install drivers automatically. Than it gives me an error saying 'unable to install drivers'. The divers do show up in the device manger under- other devices but there is a little warning sign next to it. So I right click on it and update driver, which it then tells me that it can't update driver. I have the latest version on iTunes and Quicktime, and I have also done a restore on my pc. Spoken to Apple 4 times!!! got no where with them. My iPod works fine on Windows XP machine, but not my Windows Vista. Has anyone else had any troubles with Vista??

I'm not sure my problem with Vista is the same. New computer with Vista, and I'm trying to transfer my library from old computer to new one. I loaded latest version of iTunes. When I put in my apple ID, my acct balance and items in my shopping cart appeared. When I connect my iPod, it is recognized.
I found an article that gave two options for copying library to new computer. One was to use backup discs to RESTORE, and the other was to use the iPod as a hard drive. It says that it will ask if I want to restore when I insert backup disc, but it does not ask. I tried Import, but tht didn't work either. When I connect my iPod, it doesn't copy the contents from there either. It only gives me the option of erasing iPod and loading what is on new library (which is only about 12 songs). I get a msg that I am synced to another library and can only be synced to one. I still got that msg after I deauthorized the old one.
Any suggestions on how to load music onto new library?
Thanks in advance!

Windows Vista & My IPOD

Can anybody help?
My previous computer crashed and I was unable to retrieve anything before it did. I bought myself a new computer with the Windows Vista operating system.
I have reinstalled the ITUNES Software and I am trying to download all of the songs from my IPOD to the new ITUNES library but cant.
I also cannot play any of the songs on my IPOD. They are there and displayed, but they are all "grayed out" and dont respond when I click on them.
Any advice out there?

"I also cannot play any of the songs on my IPOD. They are there and displayed, but they are all "grayed out" and dont respond when I click on them"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to syncronise (automatically update) with iTunes.
"I have reinstalled the ITUNES Software and I am trying to download all of the songs from my IPOD to the new ITUNES library but cant"
Connect your iPod to your computer. When get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described for instance also it won't transfer playlists. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated that will let you transfer individual tracks then there are a number of third party utilities that will do what you want. You can use these to retrieve individual music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, check for Vista compatibility as they may not all have been updated yet. Some of these are free and some are commercial but generally they are not very expensive. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Troubleshoot installation problems in Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista

This document can help you to resolve system errors that occur while you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista. System errors can manifest in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
A blank or flickering dialog box
A frozen cursor or screen
A blue screen
An unexpected restart
An error message such as:
"Setup is unable to load the installation script file."
"Unable to create a directory under C:\Windows\System. Please check write-access to the directory."
"Uninstalling: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
Note: If you attempt to install Photoshop Lightroom to a drive that doesn't have the minimum required space available, the installation will fail. You must then completely reinstall to another location that has sufficient free space.
Many different factors can cause system errors, including conflicts among device drivers, applications, operating system settings, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files. Although a system error may occur only when you work with Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom may not necessarily be the cause; it may be the only application that uses enough memory or processor cycles to expose the problem.
To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.
You must be logged on as an administrator to perform some of the procedures in this document.
Important: Some of the procedures in this document may initiate a User Access Control dialog that asks for your permission to continue. Read the details in the dialog to determine if you want to continue. If you choose to cancel the dialog, then you will not be able to continue with that troubleshooting step.
The steps in this document that refer to the Control Panel are in reference to the Classic view. For information on switching the Control Panel to the Classic view and many other common OS procedures, see Common Microsoft Windows Vista procedures (TechNote kb401275)
Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders. Some procedures require you to locate files by their full file names, which include extensions (for example, example_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer doesn't show hidden files, hidden folders, and file name extensions that it recognizes.
To show hidden files, hidden folders, and all file name extensions in Windows Explorer:
In Windows Explorer, choose Organize > Folder And Search Options.
Click the View tab in the Folder Options dialog box.
In Advanced Settings, select Show Hidden Files And Folders.
Deselect Hide Extensions For Known File Types.
Click OK.
Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows Vista. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel. Additionally, the procedures in this document assume you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel: To view the Control Panel in the Classic View, click Switch To Classic View on the Control Panel navigation bar on the left side of the window.
Beginning troubleshooting
The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Photoshop Lightroom files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh system memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
1.Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for PhotoshopLightroom.
Photoshop Lightroom may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
1 GB of available hard-disk space
CD-ROM drive
In addition to these requirements, a video card that supports 24-bit (16 million) or more colors, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, is recommended.
* Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista.
To check basic system information, such as processor speed and how much RAM is installed, choose Start > Control Panel > System.
2. Delete previously installed application files, especially if you had the public beta version of Photoshop Lightroom installed.
To delete files from a previous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installation attempt:
Choose Start > Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs.
Select Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and choose to remove it.
Close the Add Or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel.
Open Windows Explorer.
If the Lightroom.exe file is still in the Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder, delete it.
If the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file is still in the Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder, delete it.
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Try to reinstall. If you cannot, continue with the next two sections in this step:
Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Presets. These are the presets that were installed with the application and that you created.
Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Previews. If you have a large number of images, you can move this folder back to its original location before you open Photoshop Lightroom, once it's installed. Or you can delete this folders to re-create it when Photoshop Lightroom opens. If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, it might be due to corruption in the previews, in which case you need to delete this folder and re-create it.
Try to reinstall.Important: Do not delete the Lightroom Database.lrdb file!
If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, these issues may be due to corruption in the preset files you created, in which case you need to remove them and re-create them, or test each preset individually.
Note: If you can reinstall, and if this is not the first time you opened Photoshop Lightroom, then Photoshop Lightroom will look for a library database file. If it does not find a library in the expected location, it will prompt you to create a new library, locate the library, or exit. Exit will close the dialog box, and Photoshop Lightroom will not open. Although you can tell Photoshop Lightroom to locate your library, it's best to put it back in the default location and then open the application.
If you can reinstall, close Photoshop Lightroom and then copy any presets you created from the Lightroom presets on the desktop back into the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
If you cannot reinstall, then move the Lightroom Database.lrdb file from the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom folder into a new folder called Lightroom Database File and save this file on the desktop. This is your database, if you previously had Photoshop Lightroom installed.
Reinstall Photoshop Lightroom. If you cannot reinstall, continue with the next task in this document.
3. Log in as Administrator before installingPhotoshopLightroom.
In Windows Vista, you must be logged in with local (that is, machine) Administrator rights to install Photoshop Lightroom. If you don't have administrator rights, contact your system administrator for assistance.
4. Check the CD and CD-ROM drive.
Dust or dirt on a CD can interfere with an installation and prevent the CD-ROM drive from recognizing the CD. Examine the Photoshop Lightroom CD for dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Gently wipe the bottom of the CD from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Verify that the CD-ROM drive can read other CDs. If it can't, examine the CD caddy or loading tray for dirt, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. If it still can't read other CDs, contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer or the computer manufacturer.
5. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
Updates to the Windows operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Windows service packs and other updates from the Microsoft website at www.windowsupdate.com. For assistance installing service packs and other updates, contact Microsoft technical support.
Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Photoshop Lightroom ) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed, then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
6. InstallPhotoshopLightroomfrom the desktop and use the default installation folder.
Some system components such as device drivers and virus protection utilities can conflict with the Photoshop Lightroom installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation, or they can cause problems when you install to a folder or when you use a path to the default installation folder that contains a special character, such as #. To prevent these conflicts, install Photoshop Lightroom from the desktop, and use the default folder name and path.
If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
7.Re-create thePhotoshopLightroompreferences file.
Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause:
Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
Rename the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new preferences file.
If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file.
8.Install and run Photoshop Lightroom while no other applications are running.
Some applications may interfere with installing or running Photoshop Lightroom. Virus protection programs are meant to stop viruses from installing on your computer. Before installing or starting Photoshop Lightroom, disable other applications, including virus protection programs and startup items (items that start automatically with Windows).
To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
Quit all applications.
Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
Click the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
Select Disable All then re-select FLEXnet Licensing Service. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, then leave it deselected (disabled).
Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears, click Cancel.
Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
9. Install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items and installing from the hard disk.
Hard disk problems can prevent Photoshop Lightroom from installing correctly. By installing Photoshop Lightroom to a different physical hard disk, you can verify if the original hard disk is preventing installation. First, completely remove Photoshop Lightroom from the hard disk.
To install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items:
Follow the steps in task 8 above to disable startup items.
If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Click Change and select a different hard disk in the Change Current Destination Folder window. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Intermediate troubleshooting
If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
10. Install and run Photoshop Lightroom in a new user account.
Create a new user account that has the same permissions as the account that you use when the problem occurs. If the problem doesn't recur, the original user account may be damaged. For instructions on creating a new user account, see To add a new user to the computer in Windows Help or contact your system administrator.
11. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows Vista.
Windows and applications store working data in temporary (.tmp) files that they create on the hard disk. Excessive or outdated temporary files can interfere with performance of Windows or applications.
Delete temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup utility included with Windows or by using the following instructions. Make sure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written. To start Disk Cleanup, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. For information about Disk Cleanup, see Windows Help.
To manually delete temporary files:
Note: Windows deletes temporary files when Windows and applications close normally. However, when Windows or an application crashes, temporary files can accumulate on the hard disk. Windows may prevent you from deleting some temporary files as they may be in use. Delete as many temporary files as you possibly can, without deleting the files that are in use.
Quit all applications.
Choose Start and type %tmp% in the Search text box and press Enter.
Delete the contents of this folder.
Note the drive letter where this directory is located.
To ensure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written:
Choose Start > My Computer.
Select the drive noted in step 4. Right click and select Properties.
Confirm the drive has at least 1 GB of free space.
12. Repair and defragment hard disks.
System errors can occur if hard disks contain damaged sectors or fragmented files. Repair and defragment hard disks, either by using the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or by using a third-party disk utility. You should run such utilities on each hard disk or partition. More information about the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter appears below; for more information about a third-party disk utility, refer to the documentation for the utility.
The Error-checking tool repairs bad sectors, lost allocation units and file fragments, cross-linked files, and invalid file names. To access the Error-checking tool, choose Start > Computer, right-click the desired hard disk, and choose Properties from the menu. In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking area.
Note: To prevent Disk Defragmenter from moving files to bad sectors of a disk, run the Error-checking tool before running Disk Defragmenter.
Disk Defragmenter rearranges the files and free space on your computer so that files are stored in contiguous units and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. To access the Disk Defragmenter utility, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
13. Scan the system for viruses.
Use current anti-virus software to check the system for viruses. Virus infections can damage software and cause system errors. For more information, see the documentation for the anti-virus software.
14. Try to install Photoshop Lightroomon a different computer.
Try to install Photoshop Lightroom on a different computer to determine if the problem is unique to your computer. If the problem is unique to your computer, contact the computer manufacturer; if the problem occurs on multiple computers, contact Adobe Technical Support.
Advanced Troubleshooting
If the tasks in the previous section don't resolve the problem, you may be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, or by determining if hardware is conflicting with Photoshop Lightroom.
Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these procedures as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the warranty for your computer.
Note: Before you remove or rearrange hardware, turn off and disconnect power to the computer and any peripheral devices.
15. Log in using the built-in Administrator account.
The built-in Administrator account has a higher access level to the system than a normal local administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator account is disabled. For information about enabling and logging in to the built-in Administrator account, contact your system administrator. You can also refer to this support document on the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926183/en-us?spid=11737&sid=73.
16. Reformat the hard disk, and reinstall only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom.
Reformat the hard disk, and then install only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom from the original installation media. Reformatting a disk erases all files it contains, so be sure to back up all personal files first. Also make sure that you have all application and system disks.
For instructions on performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, see document 918884, "How to install Windows Vista" on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com.
Note: Don't install additional software or hardware until you're sure that the problem is resolved. Don't back up the hard disk and restore Windows and Photoshop Lightroom instead of reinstalling them. If the problem is caused by an application or Windows, and either one is restored instead of reinstalled, the problem may recur.
After you reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and Photoshop Lightroom, try to re-create the problem:
If the problem no longer occurs, then install other applications one at a time and try to re-create the problem after each installation. If the problem occurs after an installation, then the recently installed application may be the cause.
If the problem occurs when only Windows and Photoshop Lightroom are installed, then the cause may be hardware-related, and you should contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller for assistance.
17. Check for problems with RAM modules.
Ensure that the RAM modules are installed properly and are not the cause of your problem. Do one or both of the following:
Change the order of the installed modules.
Remove all but the minimum number of modules needed to run Windows and [product], and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modules you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then one or more of the removed modules are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM manufacturer.

How Do I Downgrade From Windows Vista To XP On A 3000 N100 Series Notebook?

Hello. Here is the problem. I have Windows Vista Pre-loaded on my 3000 N100 Notebook, absolutely dislike this operating system and want to erase and load Windows XP. From reading other forum messages I have learned several things.
1) The install disk On Windows XP Home & Professional will not recognize Sata Hard Drives, when it reaches the point of loading where it looks for the hard drive it "BOMBS OUT" with error messages.
Several options are open .............
1) Log into the BIOS, locate the SATA option, and change to compatibility mode.
2) Have a USB external floppy connected with a Sata Driver on it and when installing Windows XP press the "F6" button when Windows asks for any external drivers you want to load.
Here is the problem with the 3000 N100 Notebook series..........
1)There is "NO SATA OPTION" in the BIOS of the 3000 N100 series notebooks to choose. In this model Lenovo stripped the BIOS down to the bare essentials.......and I Do Mean.... "BARE". The latest BIOS upgrade also has no Sata option. Why they did not offer at least this choice of downgrading to XP is beyond me. LENOVO..... I'm not impressed with your notebook. As usual.... Microsoft has all vendors jumping to their tune..... Nothing but "VISTA" at this point in time. What if you hate it??????
2) I have hunted all over the Lenovo Web Site for a "SATA DRIVER" that would work with a 3000 N100 Notebook, no such critter exists. LENOVO..... Couldn't you have at least offered this???? I'M NOT IMPRESSED.
Has anyone been able to downgrade to Windows XP successfully on a 3000 N100 Series Notebook??? How Did You Do It?? Has Anyone Located A "SATA DRIVER" That Works??? IF So, Please Explain To Me Step-By-Step How I Can Get Rid of Vista and Load XP.
Help........Help.......Help........Help......Help!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards

Hello Himleung. Thank you for answering this message. Where did you find a "Sata Hard Drive Driver" that works?? Perhaps you could pass that along to this message forum in case someone else that has a 3000 N100 (may also work with the N200 series) Notebook wants to downgrade from Vista to Windows XP.
This is what baffles me to no end. The Lenovo web site has every driver you need to load Windows XP on the notebook.....**EXCEPT**..... the Sata HD Driver......**OR**...... the ability in BIOS to change to "compatability mode". Duh!!!..... whats wrong with this story. I have never seen such a weak BIOS as the one in the 3000 N100. If I had known this I probably would have gone to another brand. They should have advertised this notebook as...... "Non-Geek Compatible".
Not knowing exactly how you could forward the driver to me I did the following....... I created a new Web email location that you could use to send the driver as an email attachment. The address is....... [email protected] This address will exist just long enough to obtain the driver..... and then......"Hasta-La-Vista" baby......end of story......as I do not want to be bombarded with ads, trash, or perhaps a virus of some sort..... although.....I'm SURE we have GREAT PEOPLE on this message center.
I'm not familiar with the "NLITE" program you mentioned. Again....perhaps you could mention where I can get it and what I need to do to set the program up to run the driver.
Thanks again, Himleung.
Regards,
Train500

Mac OS10.6.2 Server and Windows Vista 64 bit client

Can anyone tell me if the problem below was a quirk or if there is an issue generally.
I recently purchased a new workstation using windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
Our Apple Sserver had a share on it for the intended user of this workstation but I simply could not get a connection to the server. Everytime I tried to connect it said I did not has sufficient privledges.
If I tried logging into the server from another workstation, using XP, Vista or Windows 7 32bit versions I could access the share with no issues.
I eventually erased and installed a 32bit Windows 7 Pro onto the workstation and it connected perfectly.
This was the forst workstation we have bought running a 64bit operating system, and now faced with a further two workstations to purchase I am somewhat worried.
Is it an inherent problem, or was it just a rough PC with perhaps a problem with the initial install of Vista 64bit.
Any help would be appreicated.
The Server just runs AFP, DHCP and SMB sharing, no open directory, no DNS. Also its just a workgroup not a domain we are trying to connect to.
Thanks
mark

The main problem you're going to have is that Vista will not authenticate in a compatible way to Mac OS X server, not without modifications at the Vista client.

Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

Hello,
I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
any input would be appreciated, thanks.

This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.

Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available FREE from MS

Ok who wants to try to run this with BootCamp ??? I am guessing it should be fine as its a release for x86 CPU (Intel).
Heres the link:
http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm
Update: Direct Link for Beta 2:
http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/preview/beta2/en/x86/iso/vista5384.4.060518-1455_winmain_beta2_x86fre_client-LB2CFRE_ENDVD.iso
Its a 3GB ISO image which means you will need to burn the image to a DVD on completion...
For the Windows Vista Beta 2 activation key:
http://bartysblog.be/content/get-your-windows-vista-beta-2-keys-early
I am not too sure how getting the product key works - I am sure someone out there can work it out !!!
Dont shoot the messenger !

Excellent ! Thanks for the heads up Nick.
I tried it in 'Image Mode' on Parallels (using the ISO as the boot image) and it definitely starts, but halts at an unknown USB device error. I disabled all the devices in Parallels - but no joy.
I am not in a mad rush to do it anyway - might try with BootCamp some time.
Did anyone get a result with the activation key via the SECOND LINK I provided (registering with MS ) ???
Once the mad rush subsides, heres some links to different language versions etc:

Heres the instructions for BootCamp and Vista taken from the forum in a prev post: (attempt at your own risk)...
Installing Vista works fine without erasing your OS X partition. Here are some instructions I used that worked perfectly.
"1) Boot to the Vista DVD.
2) When I got to the "Choose a drive to install to" page, pressed "advanced" (or "more drive info" or whatever it's called).
3) Selected the first partition (200MB unknown partition), this was the EFI partition.
4) Pressed "delete."
5) Selected the Windows partition to install to.
From there Vista took about an hour to install on my build. After the first reboot it came back with a "Could not find Winload.exe" error.
To fix that, I booted to the DVD again and selected "recovery options" - it said "Your startup information is invalid, click Repair And Restart to fix it".
On the next reboot it worked fine."
Taken from this thread: http://forum.osx86project.org/index....ic=14448&st=40
NOTE: The Boot Camp drivers CD will not install properly so the wireless networking won't work out of the box. The regular ethernet driver works straight out of the box with Vista as well as the graphics driver, sound, bluetooth. You need to extract the drivers manually from the setup.exe in the boot camp disk to get the wireless networking driver, brightness control and CDEject.exe or whatever it's called. The startup control panel will also need to be installed manually. At least that is the case for the iMacs.
Note #2: Deleting that EFI partition will make it so you can't erase the windows partition from withing the boot camp app in OS X. You would need to restore the EFI partition manually if you wanted to do that.

Install Windows first, then Solaris {not the other way round}. When Solaris installer detects Windows installation and prompts you whether to preserve Windows partition, make sure to select 'preserve' option. I believe Solaris installer creates appropriate GRUB entries for Windows and Solaris. Even if it doesn't, you can always edit the GRUB menu after the installation is complete.
Check the following web site if you need detailed instructions:

Windows Vista 32 Partitions

Hello,
I have just installed Bootcamp and a Windows Vista 32-bit.
Inside my OSX I can see a "Windows" volume which allow me to see the NTFS files.
After this, I reboot and have entered into my Windows Vista. From its Disk Manager I have created two additional partions (D and E) and have changed my optical drive to F.
These two new partitions were formated with NTFS and all work just fine.
I reboot again into OSX and I still can see the Windows volume but the other two I have created are still "invisible".
Next I thought it was due some missing feature in Boot Camp so I have updated it to 2.1 but nothing have changed.
I have installed VMware Fusion which allows me to reuse the Boot Camp partition and in fact it works but even accessing my Windows from VMware did not show my other two volumes.
Is there any way to access my partitions from inside OSX or from VMware or Parallels?
Best regards,
Fernando Malard.

Don't run BootCamp is the option you haven't tried and which I suggested. I never use BootCamp Assistant, except a couple times to see how flexible (or not) it was. I just boot from Vista with 'C' and all is well.
A modern OS like Vista can deal with a single partition fine. If you want, there is Diskeeper. Or use a 2nd drive for your files.
Adding, removing, installing does cause files to scatter, free space to get fragmented, and why I do a backup/erase and restore in OS X from time to time. I don't like running disk optimizers, too annoying.
Make your Windows Vista partition as large as possible, same for OS X, too, today's hard drives and filesystems work well that way. The only draw back, and what I don't like about BootCamp Assistant, the partition it creates resides on the inner most and slowest performing tracks of a disk drive so instead of nn-MB/sec of the outer tracks you'd have OS X on, it is half that number.
Having all these partition slices harkens back to older systems and linux, but even SuSE 11.0 doesn't require anything special in partitioning though many still want to have a page partition.
One of the things that kept me from an iMac was the single internal hard drive, lack of expansion, and limit to how many external drives can be safely used, and then only FW/USB, no eSATA.

Windows Vista not working correctly with Leopard 10.5

I just updated my MacBook Pro 17" by installing Leopard 10.5xx (erased and installed), then used BootCamp to partition disk and install Windows Vista. In Windows, my volume control is on, but no sound. I just got the error, "This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows Vista. Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 was created by Intel Corporation and is distributed by Apple Inc.."
I am having problems with drivers, and as I'm a new user to Mac/Windows, so I don't even know how to identify which drivers (on Leopard installation disk)I need. In Windows Device Manager I have something called "Human Interface" that needs a driver . . . but my computer can't find it on my Mac or on the disk.
I purchased extended AppleCare warranty, but don't know how to use it, and my 90 days is up so I can't call. Is this warranty strictly for hardware? I don't understand how to get the support/how to information I need; I'm a Windows user and find Apple's support confusing and indirect.
HELP!!!

sorry, can't help, but you're definitely in the wrong forum. this is about mac os SERVER (not client) and your problem is related to either the hwardware you use or bootcamp.

Datebook problems with windows Vista?

There have been a few times where I have opened my palm desktop and all of my datebook entries have been erased. I think I have narrowed it down to a problem that happens after my computer (which runs on Windows Vista OS) updates itself and restarts. It seems like something with the updating is erasing it. Has this ever happened to anyone?
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

YES! It happens under the same circumstances you describe, except I rarely lose all the data, just bits and pieces here and there. Today was the worst, probably about 2/3 of all my entries. I am fed up with it and ready to scrap the software as I have not been able to sync reliably and have no back-up right now. The Palm software for Vista is dreadful compared to previous versions.
I would love to hear if someone has a fix.

Mini SAP 7.01 under Windows Vista

Hi every one,
I wanna share my experience with you for installing version 7.01 under Vista. This might help you.
I have installed the newest version ([Message from Klaus Keller| of Mini SAP under Windows Vista and, believe it or not, it all went correct. It is important that you download version Netweaver 7.01, since previous versions are not supported in Vista.
In the download section (http://www.sdn.sap.com/downloads/netweaver/abap/disclaimer.html) you find in file part 1 the description of process in a HTML & PDF file. You must pay much attention to what is described there; otherwise, it might happen that the installation process is not sucessful.
I´m not gonna describe the whole installation process. This is already in the download files. Just a reference of what I did:
1 ) make a backup of your information and have your Windows Vista disk at hand. It might happen that you have to format the computer´s hard disk if something goes wrong (this happened to me a couple of times in previous versions of Mini SAP and Windows XP). This is so, because it is impossible to erase some files and information in the registry (even with the Registry Clean Tool that is also downloadable in SDN). A new installation try was hopeless in those versions.
2) shut the firewall and antivirus off before you start.
3) don´t try to name your computer using special characters like - _ / & % and so on; additionally, name should be max. 13 characters long.
4) you need a user account for windows, even if you´re the only one to use the computer and you must assign a password to that user. You need it once you start the server through the SAP management console.
5) Install the Microsoft loopback adapter
once installed, system names it LAN-connection2 and you must asign a permanent IP address. Press button characteristics for its element Internet protocol version 4, where you enter:
IP-Address 10.10.0.10
Subnetwork mask 255.255.255.0
Don´t touch element Internet protocol version 6 !!
6) file hosts under c:windowssystem32driversetc --> add an entry for the host like this:
#Inicio de insercion
10.10.0.10               jalonso           "<-- this is my computer´s name and host name
You must have administrator rights and change the status write-protected for being able to modify it.
7) Process takes less than 1 hour, mostly without user interference.
8) if desired, install Adobe LifeCycle Designer before starting with SAP GUI. It happened to me once (Windows XP) that the installed SAP GUI was erased during installation of LifeCycle. It all then turned into a big mess and I had better to format the hard disk.
9) install SAP GUI on your computer, which is part of the downloaded files.
If installation was sucessful, it might happen that you experience a problem when starting the application server (start --> SAP Netwaever 7.01 --> NSP --> Start application server). You get a red screen with a couple of error messages ([read my post|;). It is not a very serious problem, ´cause you can start the server with the SAP management console anyway.
Hope this helps you when installing Mini SAP 7.01 in your computer.

I am having a heck of a time with this install. My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate.
I've read and re-read several forums and tried all the recommendations.
I've tried installing many time now and each time the install runs to 19% and I get a message " stopping Xserver".
Then it runs to 20% and I get a message "preparing packages for installation".
Then it runs for about 3 seconds and I receive the following:
Errors occurred during the installation.
Errors occurred during the installation.
An error occurred and product installation failed. Look at the log file C:\sapdb\NSP\log.txt for details.
An error occurred and product uninstallation failed. Look at the log file C:\sapdb\NSP\log.txt for details.
