How to install Win7 64 bit

I am usiing Vmware Workstation
Worm 6.5.3 build 185404

André Pett wrote: resize the virtual disk is possible within the parameters of the virtual machine HARD drive

The OP is using VMware Workstation 6.5.3, and there is no option in the user interface in the virtual machine settings to increase the size of the hard drive in this version and must be done from the command line using vmware-vdiskmanager.

and the type of disc is not the IDE.

Not sure why you would say that as an IDE hard can be extended with a vmware-vdiskmanager or virtual machine settings as appropriate in future versions of VMware Workstation.  I did several times that I can remember.

  • Cannot install Flash Player as "only one version of this application can run.

    I had problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch.  I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it but now I get the following message appears: cannot install Flash Player as "only one version of this application can run" I tried to uninstall I checked to see if there was still a program to install but it does not exist. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32... files. I assume that they are created whenever I tried to install Flash Player.  I thought to delete many files install FlashPlayer but decided to ask for help before taking this step.

    I managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the installation files except one who did not want to be deleted, then I started to install Flash Player, until I got the message about the conflicting demands. I then used the Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open the Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished the installation. Then, I opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a program that requires a Flash Player.

    Why don't I have to use the Task Manager to close applications. I don't remember the last time that I used it ut think that it was a year ago, when my computer would not shut.

  • Portege Z830: Cannot install Win7, complains about driver CD/DVD

    Hello!

    I have a brand new Portege Z830 and as usual wanted to start by installing a new installation of Windows 7 x 64 (that I don't want the software provided and cannot be trusted, that it is safe in any case). I have saved all of the disk, prepared a flashdisk USB bootable with Windows Setup and it. The flashdisk OK boots, Windows wonder about my language and keyboard, and then shows a screen where I can choose between installation, repair and something else (the Recovery Console, I think).

    I click on install, Windows starts the installation program aand once a first dialog box appears, it displays an error message that basically says (this is a translation of the message from my localized Windows): "a required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you use a driver from the floppy disk, CD, DVD, or the flashdisk, insert now. "And I can't get over this error message. The strange thing is, there is no reason for that Windows requires no additional driver, because he can read the installation flashdisk (apparently) and he can see the ultrabook SSD, too (can be verified as well in the recovery console and clicking the browse of this dialog box). So far I have tried:

    (1) four different Windows 7 images (two of them to MSDN AA, two physical, that have been used successfully to install the OS before).

    (2) switch SATA mode to AHCI Compatible.

    (3) two different flashdisks.

    (4) any combination of the boot order.

    Nothing has worked. I even tried e-mailing of Toshiba, but all messages to return with 'user unknown' (understandable, I had to guess addresses since Toshiba doesn't seem to provide some official way to communicate with them - or is hiding if well I have found it). Does anyone have an idea what I can try next? I rather like the Z830 and I'd love to use it, but the ability to install my own installation of the operating system is essential for me.

    Thanks, Pepak

    > I tried e-mailing of Toshiba...
    Maybe stupid question now, but have you tried to contact Microsoft too? If the BIOS is OK, and if all the USB ports work correctly, I don t think it is Toshiba related issue. Toshiba offers notebook with the original recovery image (WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM) and ability to create bootable USB stick with the recovery image that can be used when you want.

    What you do now is your own installation of the OS. Toshiba has to do is to offer to all the important factors, download tools and utilities on the drivers page.

    What else could you try? Try to get external USB ODD and trying to install WIN7 using Microsoft installation disc. I'm sure it will work.

  • Cannot install Win7

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to such things, but I'm totally stumped here.

    I have an Inspiron 15 3537 which comes preinstalled with Win8. I hate it, so I want to install Win7.
    My first question was that the laptop wouldn't start my Win7 DVD, but after doing some reading, I read that I had to turn off activate/UEFI Legacy - that worked. However, now that I formatted the laptop HARD drive, I can't choose the partition on which I would like to install Windows. I get an error message that says something like "Cannot install on this partition as the GPT is" or something like that.

    I did some reading up on top of that question and it seems that I have UEFI enabled, but if it is enabled, I can't start the DVD.

    Someone pleeeeaaaase help!

    It's ok, I fixed it.
    In the configuration screen, I press SHIFT + F10 and then access diskpart to clean the partition. All sorted now.

    Hello

    I had similar problems with my laptop 64-bit Windows 7 & iTunes.  Finally, I have iTunes installed 10.5.1.42, thanks to a friend who has downloaded onto a CD using their Apple laptop.

    The installation of thin attempts, where the previous CD was working using the direct download did not, despite trying many options, such as turning off the firewall and virus checkers and using another Manager download (Softonic) instead of iTunes.

    Downloaded Softonic iTunes 10.4 despite my 10.5 selection, and despite it, saying he was downloading 10.5.  iTunes installed 10.4 successfully, unfortunately I needed 10.5 to update my iPhone OS.

    When I saw the 10.5 iTunes download (downloaded via iTunes), using 7 - zip, the message "broken file" appears next to each file in the screen of 7 - zip.  It seems that the problem was with a corrupted download.

    Once I installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 from the CD, I went to update my iPhone OS via iTunes and my computer laptop 64 bit of Windows 7, but guess what... download corrupted file iPhone OS.  If the same friend upgraded my iPhone OS using their Apple laptop.  I then synch had the iPhone with my own laptop.

  • Re: Cannot install Win7 driver display for Satellite A100-159

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my old laptop satellite a100-159. I still use it as a second computer. Given that the display drivers for windows 7 are available at toshiba, I decided to update the laptop from XP to 7. After the update, I downloaded the display driver for win 7 (http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20091109135931.zip)

    But here's the problem: when I unzip the file, the file "tinstall.exe" does not work. It comes to the .exe file that needs to install the driver. I also had the message "this program could not have installed correctly". As of the present results, I'm looking to 1024 x 768 while the resolution is 1280 x 800.

    Any suggestions for me? I know that the laptop is old, but that the correct display driver, it is rather useless.

    You can convert MBR TPG, to achieve this goal, you can use the disc management.but with this tool, you can convert olny to empty disk GPT om, if the data on the disk, you must delete all the prior to conversion. to avoid data Delete, you can try third-party software AOMEI Wizard Partition MBR TPG to convert without data loss

  • Cannot install sqldeveloper 64 bit on windows 7

    I am trying to install SQL Developer on windows 7. I unzipped under C:\program Files\sqldeveloper ok
    I run as administrator
    He asked the java.exe the path, so I provided it and I get can not find J2SE SDK installed

    I searched and found that there are 2 common issues of interest:

    1. the JDK is not 64-bit
    2. the path isn't for the JRE and the JDK

    I installed the following 2 files:

    sqldeveloper64 - 3.1.07.42 - no - jre.zip-> 64-bit SQL Developer
    JDK-6u31-windows - x 64 .exe-> JDK 64


    So my question is how can I check that I have the right files? Which file is the SQL Dev looking for so I can get it.
    How can I re - validate my software (at the time, SQL Dev and JDK) are 64-bit and more name, the installation files.

    Thank you

    It seems reasonable to assume, you have good 64-bit versions installed so now it's just a matter of pointing the JDK 64 bit 64-bit SQL Developer.

    There are only a couple of things (I hope) you need to check:

    1. check that C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf contains this line: SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_31
    2. check that C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloperW.exe is used to start SQL Developer.

    I added (2) since sometimes a pre-existing installation SQL Developer leaves remains a shortcut in the Start Menu. Make sure that you start the version you really want.

    Best wishes
