• Satellite M45: Cannot boot from the CD-ROM or HARD drive

  I get the following messages...

  WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table".

  At the START of the CD: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM.
  By so, even though I have the recovery CD and the computer can not read them.

  I tried to change the order of boot without result. Created a bootable CD Bart, who works in my other computer, but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers, I need for this CD?
  I'm out on this one.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

  It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
  Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

  However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
  If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
  If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

  Hi kirsteenie,

  1 Windows operating system you are using?

  2. you use 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows?

  16-bit applications are not supported in 64-bit Windows versions.

  If you use Windows 7, then you can install Windows XP mode and then install the game in XP mode and check if you can play the game or not.

  You can view the following link to use Windows XP mode:

  Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/install-and-use-Windows-XP-mode-in-Windows-7

  Note: Windows XP mode will run only in Windows 7 Professional, full and business editions.

  You can also contact the game manufacturer support and check.

• "This application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded.

  New Java and Blackberry development.

  I built the app BlackBerry Hello World (from samples from the BlackBerry site developer) by using the following:

  Eclipse version 3.4.0 installation

  BlackBerry JDE plugin for Eclipse 1.0.0.67

  BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0.19 component package

  The app is supported very well.

  The app works well in the Simulator.

  I use Eclipse to generate the ALX file.

  Then I try to transfer the file ALX for my BlackBerry Tour using:

  BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.0.8.

  When I try to transfer, I get the following error message:

  "This application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded.

  I tried different versions of the package component BlackBerry JDE (4.7, 4.6.1, and 4.5) with no difference in behavior.  Also, I don't think that I use an API that require signature.

  Someone had this problem and was able to remedy?

  The trick works OS 4.7.1

  You will need to compile the code using 4.7

  Edit:

  Ahh... I now see that you have already done this. The forum "new and improved" chops off the coast of all messages on my IE8 'new and improved '.

  What version of office is this? Might not be compatible with the tour?

  Try the application on your device using javaloader (utility that ships with the JDE - check the bin directory).

• What does this mean and how to fix: the router address you entered is not compatible with your WAN IP address.

  I connect to an access provider via Airport Extreme, which is extended through two Airport Express.  When I try to edit anything in one of these devices, even a name, I get this message: "you have entered the address of the router is not compatible with your WAN IP address.  My connection seems to work, but there is clearly something wrong with her.  The Express has no DNS and will not update without the same message.  I have no idea what this is all about and will greatly appreciate the ideas.

  This means that WAN Setup does not or does not install across the network.

  The best way to solve this problem is beginning on...

  Reset all three at the factory and reconfigure each in turn. Do the extreme first and make sure it works... Then add the express.

  If you need help with that we will need to know which modem or modem router to your ISP gave you and possibly the type of services to wide band... and who is the provider.

  Give us screenshots of each installer as you do.

• No sound help please - driver is not compatible with my version of windows

  Original title: no noise don't please help

  While UN-installing some I have programs no longer use i accidentally uninstalled my driver audio soundmax. I have a dell optiplex gx520 with the 32-bit version of windows 7 Home premium. I tried to find and re - install the driver sound max and I find one and download each time it says that the driver is not compatible with my version of windows. I would really like my back her again. also, I went into the start menu and click on the sound devices and game controllers, and all that shows is my webcam. I know that I have an internal sound card and a speaker and I know that they do not work, but when I searched for the pilot, he was gone and so I know that it is uninstalled by me when I remove other programs, I no longer use. any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi Bill,

  See the link to install the drivers for the Dell OptiPlex GX520. The drivers are not available for the Windows 7 operating system. Therefore, I suggest you to install in compatibility mode and check if it works:

• How to return to the previous version? A new is not compatible with my version of OSX.

  I'm running 10.4.11 and had 3.6.something of Firefox. I installed the update of Firefox, assuming that, if it was not compatible with my version of OSX, it wouldn't install. First, huge mistake. I need to go back to my previous version. I have no system resources to upgrade the version of the OS.

  Just choose your language like for example if you want the English of the United States, see

  http://download.CDN.Mozilla.NET/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/3.6.28/Mac/en-us/Firefox%203.6.28.dmg

  If you meet the requirements of equipment in addition to an Intel processor, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6.x

• Cannot boot from Win 8.1 installation disk

  My mother has a Dimension 3000 system that works under XP and now I am trying to install WIndows 8.1 so that she can use banking online again. The problem is that it does not start from the installation disc.

  I have upgrade BIOS A03 and update all drivers using the driver Booster 2. Now the system is set at the first start of the CD-ROM, then HARD drive but it ends to always boot from the HARD drive. I'm at about 400 km, so I'll try to help him by phone. I tested for a start from the disc on my own XP and haven't had any problem so the drive is fine. I also ran the upgrade on its system Wizard, and everything was fine.

  I don't understand what is wrong, no matter who?

  bgtb

  Thank you. OK, so the problem is dimensions 3000 cannot boot from a DVD, only a CD?

  Since that she already bought (32-bit OEM) license and opened it, I doubt it will be returned, so I would try to make work in all cases, if that doesn't work I'll have to get a new PC.

  If copy us the contents of the DVD on a USB maybe we can boot from that? I'll give you a call tonight.

  The system is 10 years old... BIOS A00 - August 2004. The latest version of the BIOS is 8 years old February 2006. This system may be too old to be able to boot from USB.

  Other problems exist, the standard installed memory was of 0.5 to 1 GB, 1 GB is minimum requirements so it may also need to be upgraded.

  As mentioned in the video, Intel 82865 G is not supported by Intel for Windows Vista or later. For Vista/7, there are a few things that you can use so that it can work, but even then not very much. It will only use the generic driver for Windows 8.1 and the screen will be blurred.

  In addition, the systems hard drive is IDE and probable with a low capacity. The hard drive being the most likely component to fail and this type is no longer under production.

  So at least you'll need a DVD player, probably some memory and a video card. Even in this case the system doesn't always works well. I recommend wasting money in upgrading such an old machine. For the price of all these improvements, you can buy an OptiPlex 760/780 opportunity on eBay that come with a license of Windows 7. As you have already purchased the Windows 8.1, you could same source on an OptiPlex 745/755 and use your Windows 8.1 this license. All these systems will perform much better than the Dimension 3000.

  Of course, you can also look to a new system, the new Dell Inspiron is very cheap and can be done for $230:

  http://www.Dell.com/us/p/Inspiron-3646-small-desktop/PD?OC=fdcwnt7101h&model_id=Inspiron-3646-small-desktop

  While it is a low-end model compared to the Dimension 3000, it is a significant improvement.

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.
