A Bootcamp partition is required to install 4 VMWFusion with Windows 7?
I currently operates Fusion 2 with Windows XP using the Boot Camp partition.
However, I would like to move to VMware Fusion 4 and Windows 7.
My question is quite simple: I need the Boot camp to do partition, or can I install Fusion 4 on my HD and from there install Windows 7 without using the Boot Camp partition? This means that Windows 7 would be also installed on my HD and be operated through the VM Fusion.
Thanks for your advice.

No, you don't need a Boot Camp to install and use VMware Fusion. Boot Camp is used to install Windows natively on a Mac, so it can take full advantage of the physical hardware. VMware Fusion allows the operation of the Boot Camp partition install Windows as a Virtual Machine, but you can also create a regular file based Machine virtual Windows or other operating systems also well-supported.
Unless you have a specific need to have Windows installed in native mode, there is really no need to install using Boot Camp, and instead simply use VMware Fusion to create a regular file based Virtual Machine and install Windows. Also, I think you will see that you will have better performance using a Machine virtual normal vs running Boot Camp install Windows as a Virtual Machine. You will also have access to features that are not available when you use a raw disks as with Boot Camp, snapshots and power suspend the Virtual Machine.

Cannot install the C4680 with windows XP-
I recently bought a C4680 with the intention of using it as a wireless printer connected in conjunction with a Linksys print server. Currently, I do this now with three PC and another HP printer.
I have a laptop with Vista Home, another laptop with XP s/p3 and a desktop with XP s/p3.
With the Vista PC installation was quick and easy. However, when installing on both machines XP, installed on the ground to stop when you try to install the drivers after the connection of the USB cable. The two printing support, and mass storage facilities returned a "cannot complete this installation - driver is not digitally signed.
I spent four hours on the phone with HP support before they admitted that they could not do work on the XP laptop.
What I will meet the same exact errors when I try to install on the XP desktop.
My question: is there someone out there who has successfully installed the C4680 with Windows XP?
Large. Glad to know that it worked.

Fresh install on Bootcamp does not properly look book on Mac with windows 8
the Apple Store in shanghai recently reinstalled Bootcamp and Microsoft office. I didn't check it before you leave the store and won't come back for two weeks but discovered a few problems I hope to be able to stare at me.
The speakers do not work, and it seems that the drivers are not up to this day somehow. also, I can see ms is listed in the programs being installed, but there are no apps for it on the desktop computer or another screen that windows 8 comes with. Not sure what other screen is called but looks like an iPad.
Can someone give me a link to update the audio drivers and tell me how to find ms office? Am in ningbo China and no one in the Apple Store it includes English Windows and I really don't want to wait two weeks before returning to shanghai.
Satisfaction on the work in advance. :-)

You can try to download the latest version of the Boot Camp software which includes the latest available drivers:

Portege 3490, to install new HDD with windows xp ready?
My hard drive failed recently on my portege 3490. I bought a 20 GB seagate replacement hard drive. I installed Windows XP pro by connecting the drive (via adapter) to my office and ran the installation cd.
I thought that I could then just mount the drive in the Portege and be good to go. However when I turn right away on the system asks me to insert the disc system.
I don't have a floppy drive and my single cd is a USB and I can't use it to start.
Someone at - it any ideas how I can get this working?
I plugged my other laptop (Toshiba no) with the same drive and it booed immediately. Thanks for your help
[Edited by: admin on 27 June 05 07:03]
Hello
Unfortunately I have no drivers list, but on the download from Toshiba site you will find about 18 different drivers for your device using BONE of W2000. Check it on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
As far as I know, it won't be easy to do something without floppy drive. I have no much experience with the Portege series but you can try to make two partitions on the second, you can copy the OS disk and start the installation of this partition. Even if you do this, you must start the unit with the startup disk.

The driver install Portege 4000 with Windows 2000 Pro

All drivers are in and there is nothing in Device Manager is listed as unmanned, the wireless client shows the connection to my router, but ipconfig shows that there is no link at all.

Adobe flash player "required update" come into conflict with windows updates?
I've seen a lot of questions about the video choppy, slow stop cause buffering and go streaming video and people with adobe installation issues during their previous version was working fine before the last group of defender, family net 3.5 and other recent updates. Is there a conflict with the updates and adobe. I also with video problems jerky, buffering slow and red x where images are supposed to be from an installed update on my computer toshiba laptop vista Home Basic. I went through all the "fixes" proposed by Brian at KB 283807: images are not displayed on Web sites in Internet Explorer
including advanced methods and still have the same problems that I started with. Can I ask you to check how many others have problems on this topic and provide a new update to fix what broke before? Appreciate any help on this problem.
my system is vista home basic service Pack1 Intel pentiumCPU T2310 1.46 GHz, 1 GB 32-bit operating system. I missed something? Internet Explorer version 7.0.6001.18000 and I get a red x in the upper part of the about dialog internet explore that opens when you click on this function. That is what it is?halcook,
see if the following applies to your system whereas you are referring to the last update of the .NET Framework:
An update for .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is availableThen, if this does not work, see if a system restore will solve your situation:
The System Restore tool
If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
- Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
- In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
- In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
- Click Finish.
The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.
If infact know you, it is an update that has caused this, then follow these steps to install an update at a time until find you that one might be:
Click on start-> all programs-> Windows Update, click on change settings in the left menu. Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them, click OK. When you are alerted to install a new update, in this window, click updates see, uncheck all updates and select one at a time, install it, restart your computer, test and update. When you find the update either continue to ignore, look for it at http://support.microsoft.com/

Hello Sisi reddi, welcome.
You can try a solution that worked before on S2k3. Try this on affected systems:
1. click on START
2 type "notepad" (without the quotes) and press enter
3 copy and paste the following text in Notepad:LETTER
CD %windir%\system32\wbem
Mofcomp.exe cimwin32.mof
Regsvr32 /s wbemupgd.dll
Regsvr32 /s wbemsvc.dll
Wmiprvse/regserver4. click on file > save as
5. change the drop-down list (file type) to "all files".
6. name the file sqlfix.bat, and then save it to your desktop
7. from there, right-click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator". If it works that way, you can also open it WITHOUT choosing run as administrator and see what happens.8. now try to install SQL 2 k 5

install a fax with windows vista home premium
I don't know how to set up fax facilities with vista. I used to use the fax with XP and earlier versions
Read this info, as Vista Home Premium does not come with the software of Fax:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/fax-scan.aspx
It depends on your version of Vista, as to if you have Fax software installed.
The home versions have no Fax software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the 3rd party Fax software:
http://www.SnapFiles.com/reviews/Snappy_Fax_2000/snappyfax.html
Snappy Fax allows you to send and receive faxes from your computer. You can use your scanner to scan documents and then sent a fax to any fax machine, or use the print command other applications to use the virtual fax printer, allowing you to send faxes directly from most Windows applications. In addition, the program also supports faxes sending via the internet, filtering of unwanted faxes and transfer incoming faxes to other fax or e-mail addresses. Additional features include import address book, faxes by email (with zip for images support), OCR, spell checking and much more.
