"Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8". How to turn on XD flag on IdeaPad z570 BIOS?

When I attempt to UPGRADE (not a clean install) from Windows 7 sp1 to Windows 8 Release Preview, the installer halts and shows the message "Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8.".  In searching for a resolution to this, some people have had success in avoiding this error and successfully installing Windows 8 by turning on the XD setting in the computer's BIOS security tab.  My Lenovo z570 Intel i7 BIOS version 45CN47WW does not display this setting and so I cannot change it.  How can I change it?  I found comments on Lenovo's site that ThinkPad laptops BIOS had been updated to be able to switch this xd flag on, but found nothing for the IdeaPad z570 BIOS.
A work around was to use a different installer: the setup.exe located in the sources folder of the Windows 8 install cd/usb drive.  This installer does not check for the xd to be on.  But I will need to set my Lenovo laptop's xd flag on when the final version of Windows 8 is released. 

Could be too that things will be different in the final version with the NX bit setting than in the ctp. Nice that there is a workaround available :-) for the tech preview.

  • Airport Utility 6.1 is incompatible with older Airport Express. Apple suggests to use Airport Utility 5.6 but it isn't compatible with Lion. How can I use Airport Utility?

    I have an Airport Express 802.11b/g, model nº A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.4. When I run Airport Utility it says that the version (6.1) isn't compatible with the base station and suggests to use the version 5.6. I try to download and install it but a message says that the version of Mac OS is not compatible with this version of Airport Utility. Apple is trying to make me crazy?

    Thank you Bob for the correct link. To be honest I have no idea how you found that. The Airport 6.1 utility gives the message that 5.6 is needed, and the link unhelpfully just goes to the US support home (I am UK for a start…) - and endless navigating eventually gets you to 'other Airport Utility Software' - and there is, the incorrect version for Lion…
    I have managed to setup the Express using the software link you provided :-)
    iteachcoffee - workaround - get someone with Lion on a laptop, or better, Pre-Lion so you don't have to download the special software  (like the wonderful Snow Leopard for example) and set up your Airport with that.
    The Apple answer I'm sure is simply: Get a newer Airport! ;-) (annoying I know, my old one works perfectly!)

  • My Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with Windows 7 / 64bit

    I have downloaded the newest version of Adobe flash, and it installs like normal...and I think it is working fine....but on some sites (even You Tube) and some software programs, I get this message:
    Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
    I am tired of wasting so much time with this...I read on the net that some people compiled their computer to 86...whatever that means....but no one explained how to do it.
    I have a Flash professional in ADOBE MASTER COLLECTION C6 / but all programs and sites default to the normal Flash player (that constantly gets updated,

    I have a similar problem, Win 7 64-bit, I did a clean install*, downloaded latests (Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player), and after restarting my computer, Win7 64-bit Action Center popped up: "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows" with no error codes to look up knowledge base. Like seriously, no one from Adobe answered this in 9 months?! And the steps in Common problems | Flash Player sound like I need to purchase support before I file a report?

    I had a similar problem - I assume it is becuase I created a link in the Photo Library to a folder elsewhere on the C: Drive.  Bridge only shows the actual files that reside in that folder and via not any shortcuts.

  • HT5610 is ipod nano 2nd generation compatible with Windows 8?

    my ipod nano 2nd generation,  will not sync.  itunes says it is syncing, but nothing changes on my ipod. i tried resetting it, and everything stays the same on the ipod, not matching my current library.   i also tried manually dragging and dropping items onto the device, and still nothing happens.  i don't want to wipe everything off my ipod if it isn't compatible with windows 8, because then i won't be able to put my library, what songs/playlists are already there,  back on the ipod.

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

  • My version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows

    I am trying to use a new copy of Camtasia Studio 3, and I keep gettiong the error message that my version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows and that I should ocntact Adobe for support. So here I am.
    I am running Windows7 64bit, and it's a brand new computer so I know that there aren't tons of legacy installations or Flash players on it. This page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html tells me that I have Flash Player version 11.4.31.110 installed but that I should have 11.4.402.287 installed. But I have installed the latest Flash player from the Adobe site (twice!) and it never gives me an option for 11.4.31.110 vs 11.4.402.287.
    I am using Chrome and Flash is working fine in my browser: It's only Camtasia that isn't working well.
    Thanks!

    Hm, I assume you mean Camtasia Studio 8?
    Check the chart on the page you linked. You'll see that the version you have installed is in fact the latest version for Chrome. They haven't updated it beyond that. Each browser engine has its own latest version of flash. IE and Mozilla are 11.4.402.287.
    Aside that, there's no reason Camtasia should be requiring you to have that version of flash. Make sure when you're publishing your content that you don't check off any options to "require the user to have the latest version of Flash". You should also (if possible in your project) try to target MP4/HTML5. Check any HTML being generated with it (hopefully using SWFObject) and check for the version checking code. There is absolutely nothing Camtasia needs to require the latest version to do. I've been using Camtasia (TechSmith codec mostly) for screen recording since version 2.

  • Is there any way to upgrade to a newer version of os x snow leopard if my computer isn't compatible with mavericks?

    Is there any way to upgrade my software version? I've tried downloading java or upgrading it and it won't let me because my software isn't compatible. I was ready to install Mavericks when all of the sudden my computer isn't compatible with OS X Mavericks. Does anybody have any solutions besides buy a new computer?

    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.

  • PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280

    My mp280 came with a ink PG-810 but the canon site say that PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280
    it all I just want to know that can we replace the ink with a pg 810 
    the canon site says it is compatible with pg210 but that isn't available in my area so can I buy and use pg 810 in my printer ?
    ps the printer came with pg 810 cartridges 
    THANKS

    Hi prabhy!
    If your PIXMA MP280 was purchased or manufactured for use outside of the US, then you will need to contact support for the country where it was purchased or manufactured to be used to determine what ink tanks will work in your model. We know that printers purchased in the US may not work with inks purchased from other countries.
    To contact support for another country, go to www.canon.com and select the region or country you need.
    We hope this helps!

  • Xoom isn't compatible with FF Beta?!?

    For some reason, Firefox Beta on the Play Store isn't compatible with Motorola Xooms anymore... Xoom is 4.0.4 completely stock w/o root or any mods at all. http://oi50.tinypic.com/288treo.jpg

    From https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928753#answer-338852
    We did remove compatibility with tablets for Beta last Friday until we have the formal tablet UI ready. You can install Nightly on your tablet, but you will need to enable installation of non-market apps in your Android settings in order to do so (it is essentially the same as beta), again I apologize for the confusion and will get this documented today.

    ..we are figuring this out for tablets and don't have a perfect solution until we get to version 15 (when we plan to have tablet UI in beta).
