XP mode on Win7 Pro x64, windows xp update/svchost pushes CPU to 100% in virtual machine.

Installed xp mode on a win7 pro, dell 490 with xeon cpu. The install goes without error, win xp virtual machine loads nicely, I do not enable updates at the config during 1st startup. When Automatic update is enabled later control panel shows svchost is
pushing the cpu to 100% and the update never completes.

Hi,
1. try to run XP in safe mode by F8
2. then change Automatic update service to Manual or Disable.
3.boot XP into normal mode and see weather its still 100%.
thanks
How do you start safe mode when running XP Mode in Win 7? When you start XP Mode, the BIOS is hidden. By the time the XP Mode window comes up, its already loading the Windows desktop.

Can't install LR 3.3 on new Win7 Pro x64

Have a new Win7 Pro x64 computer (clean OS install) and trying to install LR 3.3. No problem downloading from Adobe and installer tries, but hangs on error 1935 before complete installation. Tried redownloading application with same install result and error code. Also, disabled virus protection and no other apps were running except explorer which was connected to Adobe site. Any thoughts? Anybody else have this problem?
An update: I contacted Adobe techical support about this problem (on line chat) and they were able to resolve the issue. All that I can see that was done by tech support (who was controlling my screen remotely) was to download .NET 4 from Microsoft and install it on my OS. After that, LR installed OK. Problem fixed, even though I don't really know exactly how. Thanks TECH SUPPORT !!

I am pretty sure Lightroom is not included in the Creative Suite. That would explain why the serial number doesn't work. You won't be able to purchase LR 3 from Adobe. That would have to be LR 5.2. You may be able to find LR3 available on ebay or somewhere but I'd recommend getting the latest. Of course you may then encounter compatiblity issues going between LR and CS5 as there will be a camera raw inconsisency. You either need to render your LR changes before going to Photoshop or you will need to upgrade your CS5 which means going to the Cloud version. To complicate things the Could version of the suite DOES include LR. So if you are going that route don't buy LR separately.

How to create a second Virtual Machine alongside my existing XP-Mode over Win7-Pro 64-bit

At present I have XP-Mode installed over Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
I want to add another virtual machine to the same Virtual PC, so that I shall be able to use it to boot the second virtual machine from Acronis Bootable CD-ROM based on WindowsPE 3.1.
I suppose I will not start both XP-Mode and the Acronis Bootable media simultaneously, to prevent overload of memory etc., but still I would like the two virtual machines to co-exist on the same Virtual PC over Win7-Pro 64-bit.
So, how do I go about installing/configuring the second virtual machine?

Hi joselso,

Win7 Pro x64 bootcamp install fail

I have created a partition using the Bootcamp assistant. (I had problems creating this at first but repaired the permissions and the disk in disk Utility and the partition created fine).
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 (from MSDNAA) to my newly created Bootcamp partition (65Gb). The install runs fine until after the restart at the point where the on-screen dialog is "Completing Install". At this stage after a few minutes the laptop freezes and the install never finishes. I have to then hold the power button to gain control of the laptop again and start the process from scratch. I have tried two different CDs of the same OS and the process around 6 times with no luck. I have also tried removing the Windows CD after the first restart has stated on another forum.
Thanks I hope someone out there knows a fix.

Thanks the Hatter but this didnt work unfortunately, i burnt a new copy at lowest possible speed 4x. I cant find any recent information about it. Any more ideas? This is the 64bit version as i want to use all the RAM
Much appreciated

Win7 Pro x64 and iTunes - poor performance

Hi all
I'm running iTunes on Win7 Pro 64bit, and iTunes is terribly slow when I connect either my iPHone 3Gs or my iPad.
Last night it hung using 14% of the CPU (i7, so plenty of power, far more than iTunes should need) for more than 10 minutes, so I cancelled the sync on my iPad.
I removed all the Apple software on my PC, and was installing the 64bit version again (same as last time), when I noticed that the installer sees the 64bit version as 32bit. I'm not sure if this is related, but I thought I'd mention it.
Is anyone else having this problem with 64bit? Any solutions that anyone is aware of?
Any help appreciated.

That's a blast from the past. (The bulk of my troubleshooting on the nVidia Windows 7 bug was about a year or so ago ... then a lot of PCs started shipping with the hotfix preinstalled and reports of the nVidia chipset thing pretty much died out.)
Strange though ... although your symptoms are actually more consistent with the nVidia thing than the P55 thing, that particular hotfix only used to affect nVidia chipsets rather than the Intel P55s. I wonder what's going on?
Ah well ... if it works, it works. Fingers crossed for an end to the trouble.

Windows 10 Technical Preview - There is NO "Hyper-v Virtual Machine Management" service???

hi all,
There's no such Windows Topic as "WTP Virtualization", so I post this thread here, a somewhat "VIRTULIZATION" related.
I installed WTP (not server) x64 enterprise 9879, and added "Hyper-v Management" feature (management only, without Hyper-v core) in Control Panel. Then I found that there was no "Hyper-v
Virtual Machine Management" in Services panel, and there was no such file "c:\windows\system32\vmms.exe". Therefore I cannot connect to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-v through WTP Hyper-v Manager.
I confirm the reason is what I state above. Firewall rules are properly configured on both Hyper-v server and WTP. I also used hvxxxx.wsf to configre anondcom to be "allow". When
I connect WS 2012 R2 through WTP, Hyper-v manager on WTP says "Please confirm VMMS server is running".
Is it a bug, or lack of implementation, or restriction of preview edition?
Any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, I turned off hyper-v, went to bios and enabled Intel TXT(LT-SX) Configuration. Made sure that both Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 are on. Next, I turned on Hyper-V and I create a brand new Virtual Machine call Windows8 and had
the DVD point to Windows8 ISO file on hard drive. When I clicked on start, it stayed in the Starting status mode for about 5 minutes. Then of course it failed. I looked at the Hyper-V-VMMS log and here is what it output:
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS/Admin

Is it possible to install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard Which is installed on a Virtual Machine that is created by Hyper-V?

Hi
I have recently bought a Virtual Machine from a data center and installed a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on it. As I tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, the data center administrator denied me to do this telling me it is not possible
to install any licensed Microsoft software on a Windows installed on virtual machine created by Hyper-V. It was really strange for me! I wanna know if this is true.
Thanks Everybody

Hi Farid,
For SQL server running on virtual server please refer to following article :

Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.

Hi Mehdi,
Yes, it is possible to restore Windows backup to a different machine with different hardware. This article, although written for Windows Server 2008 still applies in 2012:

You could try upgrading to SQL Developer 3 which is more up to date.
Try running <sqldev>\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe from a cmd window and see
if there is any more information.
If you type java -version in the same command window what do you get?

Target Disk Mode on Macbook Pro to Windows Vista?

I am scheduled to take my Macbook Pro in for the NVidia Warranty repair and need to back up the hard drive (I know, I know...). I can't get the Macbook to boot at all b/c of the NVidia issue, except in Target Disk Mode.
And the only other computer I have is Windows (I know, I know...this feels very cathartic, btw). Is it possible to have the Windows Vista computer connect to the Macbook via FireWire while the Macbook is in Target Disk Mode to temporarily back up my files on the Windows computer?
I know I could pay for backup, but I'm cheap. So I'm trying to find a workaround.
Any help would be appreciated!

Is it possible to have the Windows Vista computer connect to the Macbook via FireWire while the Macbook is in Target Disk Mode to temporarily back up my files on the Windows computer?
It may or may not work depending on the PC's configuration, but a program such as MacDrive needs to be installed on the PC to enable it to read the Mac's hard drive in any case.

TouchSmart 320-1050 Win7 Pro After Windows update, login results in a black screen + white cursor

Hi ...
After some Microsoft automatic upgrades were done om my HP TouchSmart 320-1050 this week, when I logged in after the reboot, all I got was a blank (black) screen and a white arrow cursor, which worked fine -but there was nothing -no video output on the screen. Even a <CTL><ALT><DEL> did not bring anything up on the screen and I had to force the system down with a hard power down. I tried with user logins and Administrator login but the behaviour was the same.
I could boot and get a picture in SAFE mode but not with a normal boot and login. There were NO ERRORS in the Windows event logs that seemed to shed any light on the issue.
The system was shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium however I upgraded to Windows 7 Pro so I could join my domain.
I couldn't diagnose the problem -with nothing showing on my screen- so last night I check what updates were installed to see about de-installing them from Safe mode.
After de-installing the most recent Microsoft HotFix (KB2679255) and rebooting .... POOF! I had my desktop displayed again after I logged in.
I don't know what piece of software was interacting with this HotFix - but thought I should post the issue, just in case someone else encountered the problem... or someone in HP Support wants to investigate ... (Let me know and I'll supply what info I can.)
Thanks

thanks for letting folks know.

Partition Redundancy for Win7 Pro x64 T400

My laptop came with 4 partitions: a 1.37 GB partition with no name and no file system listed on computer management, C: which is a 137 GB partition with NFTS file system, D: is 9.77 GB and same type as C: and a partition named SERVICEV003 using up 1.46 GB. I have recently just upgraded from my Vista Home Basic x86 to Windows 7 Professional x64. Do I still need these partitions since I`ve just upgraded my system? When I saw these partitions in Vista, I assumed it was for Rescue and Recoery. I can`t install Rescue and Recovery anymore on the new OS so I don`t use it. Since I don`t use it (and if these partitions are used for R&R), can I just delete these partitions?

I deleted those partitions during the Win 7 Pro 64 install. (Using retail Win 7 upgrade DVD)
FYI, though, you can install R&R 4.3 in Win 7. I just did that. Burned rescue CD + DVD+R DL full image of my HD with it. Put in a different HD (fully zero'd out) and restored. The restore was a little strange, perhaps because the new HD didn't have any partition table (known issue with some other R&R versions) but worked the 2nd try. Booted to a fully functional W7 pro 64 on the new HD.
Nice to have the backup media to do a restore without having to install vista first then Win 7 - which would be required if using the upgrade media for a recovery/restore IIUC.
I made the image after running the initial windows update and TVSU so it's a nice base restore image. The full drive image fit on a single DVD DL + 2 CDs.
YMMV, but it worked well for me.

Gmail freezes in firefox 6.02 win7 pro x64

firefox freezes in gmail. Asked to stop script ans still not responding for a long time. It also freezes when try to scroll using scroll bar. I uninstalled Java, but still happening.

Hi skjoedt,
I saw your post regarding the random freezes on your computer. The problem is that your computer wasn't designed for Windows 7 and you are most likely experiencing a driver conflict. Your best bet to avoid the freezing would be to go back to Windows 8.
Thank you,

Firefox 13.0.1 (Win7 ) crashes after Windows defender update applied

Windows 7 SP1
Firefox 13.0.1
Upgraded to FF 13.0.1 with no problems encountered. The next day I restarted the system and installed the Windows Defender definition update released on 6/15 (11.27.2061.0 - KB915597) via Windows Update. After applying the update FF crashed immediately upon starting several times. I rebooted the system - no change. I then applied the restore point created just before the Defender update was applied, rebooted, and was able to start FF normally.
Here's the crash info from one of the crashes:

Does it help if you create a new profile or uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
If you reinstall Firefox then be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove possibly left over files in it.
You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
