Windows XP can't find help

Our software is always installed and used locally. However,
users often share data files over a network. When this is done with
Windows XP, help gets disabled because apparently Windows is using
the current directory instead of the program directory to look for
the help file. This does not happen when the current directory is
local.
Once help has been opened, the correct path gets stored in
the hh.dat file and everything works. So the problem only occurs
when a new user loads data from a network before they have ever
opened help.
Has anyone else seen this problem or are we doing something
wrong in our call to help?
Is there a way to automatically write to the hh.dat file
during installation? I haven't been able to find any information on
the structure of this file. I suppose I could just instruct the
users to manually open the help immediately after installation.

...I could not find my original os x install disk.  I have os 10.5.8....
The Boot Camp drivers that you need to install into Windows are on those disks.  They can't be downloaded.  (The current downloadable ones are for OSX 10.7 and only work with Windows 7, not Windows XP.)
Borrow some disks from someone else (I'm not sure if they have to have the same model Mac as you or not.)  If they have the retail disks, (i.e.: they bought the disk, not the disk that came with their computer) those will work for you.  If you do not have anyone you can borrow from, then call Apple to order some replacement disks.

  • Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)

    Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
    I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
    My Windows Update is set  to automatic.
    I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
    Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website. 
    Can anyone help me, pleease?

    I have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.

  • I need to upgrade my version and can't find help or any other way

    I got a message saying I was using an old and insecure version of firefox. I was directed to click on help. I can't find help.
    When I clicked the free download a message said it didn't exist. Try another version.
    I have been having problems with viruses and would like to clean firefox or load a new version while keeping my homepage.
    I keep hearing firefox is known for not protecting users from viruses.

    When I try to install the free app I get three boxes that seem simple enough to follow EXCEPT the first box opens with 62% downloaded and never changes. When I try to click here it doesn't move. Once it opened the choice of open with or file . When I chose open it went to a bunch of apps that are not related. How do I select what to open it with? Why is it stuck at 62%

  • Windows Vista can't find Firefox.exe on my hard drive, but it is there. How can I get Firefox to run?

    Windows Vista can't find the Firefox.exe program on my machine but it is right there in program files. Windows won't run it. After clicking on the short cut icon and after a delay I get an error message saying that windows can't find it. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Hey merodi,
    I dont fully understand your problem here,
    1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
    2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
    3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

  • I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • Where can I find help about configuring forms?

    Hi, everyone,
    I want to develop web-based application using forms 9i, but I don't know how to configue my developing enviroment. I searched in forms online help and otn website, but I found nothing, except some articles about forms service. but I don't think I need install forms service when I develop my application. so who can be so nice to tell me where can I find help about this problem.
    besides, after creating a database in my local machine, how can I connect with it in foms?
    thank you very much!

    If you installed Oracle9iDS you'll have everything configured for you. (It basically work the same way as the Oracle9iAS Forms Services so all the documents are still relevant). For a quick understanding of the configuration files check out this document: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/forms9icstowebmigration.pdf
    To connect to your database you need to create a SQL*NET connection and add an entry to your tnsnames.ora using the SQL*NET easy configuration tool.

  • No sound on my Sony Bluetooth Headset because Windows 7 can't find Bluetooth peripheral device driver

    SO, I am dealing this problem for the second day in a row and no working solution still. I own the latest iMac 2014 (though the model is exactly as 2013) 2,7 Ghz with Bluetooth 4.0, I've installed through Bootcamp Windows 7 x64. My bluetooth headset Sony DR-BTN200 http://store.sony.com/bluetooth-headphones-zid27-DRBTN200//cat-27-catid-All-Home -Theater-Headphones (which is on Bluetooth 3.0 and of 2013 year model) is working fine with Mavericks and Yosemite on my MBP, but not working as it should on iMac with Windows 7..
    THE PROBLEM: I find the headset, connect it, but afterwards Windows writes that no drivers for Bluetooth peripheral device were found (3 or 4 encriptions like this, so, 3-4 drivers needed). The headset itself guarrantees fine working with Windows 8, the producer doesn't give any drivers to install, you won't find them on Sony's website - it should work as plug-n-play, they say those drivers are preinstalled on Windows 8.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED: So, the problem, as I've read from many-many-many sources is common for everybody running Windows on Mac devices. In cases with notebooks it is easy to solve (if you know it) - download the Bluetooth software from Broadcom (the producer of Bluetooth adapters/receivers of  Macs) http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php - install, it finds the devices and istalls correct driver. This worked with my MacBook Pro 2010, on iMac it stucks on recognizing devices - nothing happens next, like it doesn't recognize any bluetooth device. Downloading many other drivers packages didn't help either, nor Toshiba Bluetooth helpers could detect Bluetooth headset to properly download the correct drivers (though it was already recognized by Windows, just couldn't connect properly), nor different other programs like Bluesoleil, Blue manager and so on.
    On other notebooks and computers many try to install manually the drivers, usualy Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support. I've tried to install many drivers, all of the Broadcom drivers I've found (including the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB driver that makes the headset work on MBP), and I must say that Windows recognizes (doesnt show the yellow triangle next to the icon of the driver) only for the Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support driver. Though it's like that, the sound still is not playing out of my headset. On MBP after the drivers were installed, I chose the device in Printers and devices and there was an option of Control (maybe I remember the name wrong), it went first in the right-click menu, and aftewards there was a page were I could connect my headset through ticks/checks on different options. Nothing like this appears if I install any of the drivers on iMac (nor Broadcom, nor Win mobile-based). I must also mention, that some kind of package that I've downloaded from Toshiba or Acer's Broadcom Bluetooth kit, I don't remember, installed some bluetooth drivers (Bluetooth Audio, "receiver" if I recall it correctly and 2 more), that were recognized as right drivers for peripheral device when I connected my headset, but even then - no sound came out of the headset.
    HELP ME: What shoud I do? I've tried all of the methods that are on the net. Sony store won't help me out, because the problem is not in the device - it's in the software/hardware of "your iMac". The headset works with Mac OS, should work fine with fully-Windows PCs, it just doesn't with iMacs on Bootcamp Windows. The interesting thing is that updating windows to Windows 8 might also not help, since Sony guarrantees only work on pre-shipped with Win 8 devices, not with the upgraded devices. I do think the problem is with drivers, that Mac's Bootcamp utility doesn't come with pre-installed Bluetooth drivers for connecting Bluetooth headsets, only for the Apple mouse and keyboard. I must also mention that I've tried to install manually many of the Broadcom drivers, all of which were for Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0, they didn't help.
    It's awfull that I've got the latest iMac, so the latest hardware and face such problems. I only think that a cheap 5-7$ bluetooth-usb adapter could help, maybe it could recognize the headset and therefor install its own drivers for its manufacturer. But I don't imagine how would it work and connect since iMac has a peinstalled Bluetooth receiver. Is there a software sollution? An app or driver?

    So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
    1) unzip the folder
    2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
    3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
    4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
    5) Restart Windows
    6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
    ****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

  • MacBook Pro 2013 windows 7 can't find USB

    Hi, i have a problem installing Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro 13" 2013.
    Here's what i did before it goes wrong.
    I made an .iso file from original Windows 7 DVD, ran BootCamp and chose the option to install the .iso file on a USB stick (8GB 3.0), installed Windows drivers on the same stick, partioned my drive (40 some gigs). Then the computer reboots and Windows installation progresses until it want to use the drivers installed on the USB stick. It seems it can't find the USB stick? I've tried to use another USB stick, and changing USB ports, but nothing.
    Does anybody have a take on what could be wrong?

  • My account shows the wrong plan but I can't find help on the web site. Where do I go?

    Please don't say to a phone. I want to handle this by email. It is a simple question/correction matter. I can't find a way to email Verizon on this web site. Anyone know where it is?  I also tried live chat 3 times over the past week. No response; each time I went in circles with what seemed like the appropriate click bringing me back to the previous screen.
    The problem is that I upgraded and changed my service several weeks ago, just before the recent billing period ended. All the transactions except the change in plan show on my account. The plan change was from family to more everything.
    All I need is someone to look at my account, tell me if I am miss interpreting it, and, if not, correct it.

    Unfortunately that is the trend. Maximize profits at all costs. So reduce anywhere you can. Support is first, and then anything else to keep upper management in place getting huge salaries and commissions and profit sharing and stock incentives.
    This is America, land of big business. And when they start to go bankrupt, we the people of this country will have to pass laws to bail them out; to abuse the masses once again. Vicious cycle.
