Windows - what version.

Which version of windows would you advise to install please - if vista do I need 32 or 64 bit? Do I need to install anti virus software and which one please.

I have had good luck with both Windows XPSP2 and Windows Vista Premium.
I recommend using 32Bit versions of Windows for ease of availability of drivers.
You will also need anit-virus software. There are several out there and I use the free version of AVG.

  • I have Windows XP 32 bit and can not get Adobe flash player to load!!! Do not know what version I ha

    I have
    Windows XP, 32 bit and can not get the flash player to load
    . Do not know what version I had to start with. When I
    try to load the 10.3 version it gets to 50% then tells me
    to close the Internet explorer and bartshel!
    If i do this then there is nothing left to load.
    I tried to save it to my desktop but then itt says no active thread foun
    d. How do I load it without my Internet being open and a
    dobe site up and running when it tells me to close them?

    Thanks the address you gave me gave me what I needed but still had alot of trouble with the game. Come to find out it was my browser IE8 that was causing all the problem. So I changed to google chrome and loaded the regular version of Flash player and have been able to get on the game. Now i have trouble with my plugins can you send me a link to find Adobe flash player plugin 9.0.124.0?

    Hi,
    Could you download the appropriate version of the installer from the following page?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580?tstart=0
    Once downloaded, please quit all of your browsers and launch the installer.  If it still fails, please restart your system and try again.  Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,

  • Windows 2008 Server R2 64 bit what version of server applications?

    Hi, I'm new here please let me know what version of the OAS [Oracle Applikation Server] is required for the server running Windows 2008 Server R2 64 bit? Server wants to use the forms. I will be grateful for links to the version.

    Hi,
    As far as I can see OAS is not supported on Windows 2008 R2. You can have a look here:

  • What version of windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac?

    What version of Windows is best to run on an Early 2008 IMac? And should I use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare? My IMac will be a secondary computer now that I got a new IMac. The Early 2008 IMac is an Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory, and 2.66 ghz processor speed. It is also running OSX 10.9.5 and Boot Camp is version 5.1.2.
    I mostly want to do this so I can get rid of an old Windows machine that I just use to run Quicken on. I think I need to do this since Intuit does not support online bill pay for Apple versions of Quicken.
    I am average with computers so any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rocco

    Bootcamp gives you access to underlying hardware on the iMac unlike VMware or Parallels. It does require reboot. Most VM engines let you take a Bootcamp Windows and run it as VM where a reboot can be avoided. With 2GB of memory, you should be able to Windows 7, but I would not recommend W8.
    You may also want to look at - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

  • What versions of Adobe Reader are certified for use in MS Windows 2012 RDS?

    I have a MS Windows 2012 RDS (Remote Desktop Services, the new name of Terminal Services) environment. We are running Reader 11.08 now, and having extreme performance issues opening certain PDF documents, and we did not have this issue with earlier versions of Reader/ TS services. And we have tried turning off Protected Mode, Enhanced Security, to no effect.
    So I have been tasked to ask - what versions of Reader are certified to work in 2012 RDS? We want to see if downgrading to an earlier version will help, but I need to know what versions will work in 2012 RDS. I see 10.01.4 available as an offline install; would that be the earliest? Previously, in Win 2003 TS, we used to use Reader v8 successfully.
    Thanks

    Hi MIke,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Have you tried to install latest update patch 11.0.09. Do you have any GPO's for Reader. Have you tried to disable and checked again.

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit

    What version of itunes works with windows 7 64 bit?  Must I use a beta version of cloud?  I generally don't want to use beta versions of software.

    It should work (many, many people have it working fine) though Windows7 was officially released only 2 days ago and iTunes has not had an update since then.

  • Where to purchase and what version of Windows 8.1 for late 2013 MBPr 13'?

    Hello all,
            Im new to this place and am new to Bootcamp. I want to run Windows via my MBPr but there is no optical drive. Where can I purchase / what version of the Windows 8.1 do I purchase if I am doing a fresh install (i do not have any previous Windows OS and am confused as to which Windows 8.1 to buy)
    Would this work?

    I am a little concerned because it says: "Important: Windows 8.1 Pro full version is for Windows 7 users only."

    Hi ctwitchell,

  • What version of Windows 7 for bootcamp?

    Hi, ive found many games I want to play are pc only, and I have the new 21.5 inch Imac. So I have turned to trying Bootcamp. So I was wondering what version of Windows 7 is best for bootcamp? And a link would help greatly too!
    Thanks!

    32-bit sees 3.5 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Home sees 16 GB RAM max.
    64-bit Pro sees 192 GB RAM max, and has an XP mode for older programs.
    64-bit Pro may not be worth the extra cost for your situation.

  • What version of Windows is IE6/7 running on?

    Hello,
    I have been testing out some HTML5/CSS3 code, which uses the Modernizr script to render the new HTML5 classes in older browsers. I've had some trouble with layout in IE6 and IE7 on my test site (http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/index.html), so I prompted the user to install the Chrome Frame plug-in (http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/) for IE <=7.
    When viewing the site in these browsers, the user should be prompted to install the plugin. When I preview the site in BL in IE6/7, I get the window prompting to install the plugin, but the plugin window displays a message "We are sorry. Google Chrome Frame is only available for IE 6,7,8, and 9 on Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 or greater."
    I've uploaded a screenshot of the issue here: http://www.bluedutch.com/cafe/screenshot.jpg
    I'm just curious what version of Windows IE is rendering the screenshots from, since the plugin doesn't seem to detect it in one of the aforementioned. Are IE 8 and 9, as well as the other Windows browsers running on the same Windows platform? Since rendering seems to be very platform dependent in Windows, I was curious about how this issue might be affecting website display.
    Thanks,
    Marie

    Thanks Mark!
    That explains the Chrome plugin issue I am seeing.
    I've commented out the get Chrome plugin for IE7 on the site, just so you can see the behavior in IE7.
    If I understand Modernizr, the layout should look similar to IE8, but some of the new HTML5 tags, like <menu> aren't aligning properly, and some of the other divs are messed up. This could be due to font sizing in my CSS, and maybe some other unrecognized classes that IE7 just doesn't get, which I will also investigate further.
    But if you do find out any info on your side that would be helpful, I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
    The BrowserLab is very useful, by the way! I just discovered it yesterday after searching in vain for ways to render pages from my Mac on Windows browsers. Thanks for its implementation and support!

  • How to best run windows on my mac and what version?

    I want to run windows on my mac by partitioning part of an external hard drive.  What version of windows should I license, use parralels or fusion, and any other recommendations?

    There are two ways to run Windows on an Apple computer.
    1. Use Bootcamp Assistant to create a Bootcamp partition then install Windows on the Bootcamp partition. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. Use Windows 7. Windows in a Bootcamp partition will not boot nor run from an external drive. You must use the first internal drive.
    2. Use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox and install Windows as the guest operating syste. See the virtual machine sites for instructions. Use whichever version of Windows you want.

  • What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8; also what is the most up-dated browser available for my system?

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

  • What version has search results in same window?

    I currently have version 8.2.4
    The full reader search opens in a new window. I don't like this.
    There was a version where one could see search results in the same window as the document was displayed in.
    What version was that, please, and do you know where I can download it from?

    I never paid enough attention to the details of exactly how it worked previously, so I can't be positive whether you're right or wrong. If they did always open in a 2nd window, they did so in such a way as to seem like the same window:
    The search results window now overlaps the document display window.
    There are separate entries in the task bar for the document and the search results.
    And I have to use Alt-tab to switch between the two windows.
    What I do know for a fact is there was a version that did not operate that way. (And futzing around to resize the windows so they don't overlap is not an acceptable work-around.)
    I am likely not using the official terminology to name things.
    I've put up with it this way for a long time, but it's a stupid design and I want the old way back.
