Download XP mode does not work

Have upgraded from Windows 7 Home for professional, in order to load the XP compatible programs. Upgrad is ok, but after downloading the XP mode, I can't find it in the list "all programs." I tried to download both the 32 and 64 bit versions (not sure which is compatible with my Dell laptop so tried it with both after the first removal of the previous version). There is a program called "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" in computer/C:/Program Files, but when I click on it I get the message old "Windows cannot open this file" and it needs to access the internet to find the appropriate program.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

  • Pavilion laptop g6-2200 CTO. Downloader driver AMD does not work

    I have a Pavilion laptop g6-2200 CTO provided with Windows 8, I've upgraded to Windows 8.1.

    I had a problem with the interface of the software for my HP OfficeJet 4500 All in One Wireless G510n-z which, when I tried to solve this problem, brought several others.

    This led to my "reset" and going back to 8. I tried to reinstall 8.1 and had issues with this OS again, so reset again and right now, I'm still on Windows 8 because I'm afraid to go back to 8.1 when 8 seems to work fine... until now.

    I posted a few questions on this web site and got a few good reviews... but... I was told I had to upgrade the drivers for the different parts of this computer AND programs, I installed.

    I have an AMD processor and went to their web site and downloaded the driver AMD Downloader but it does not work. Is there a setting on this computer crashes or is this something else?

    Sorry for the involved explanation but I worked on the overall situation for like a month now and I'm frustrated. Thanks to all those who can help you.

  • Private browsing mode does not work

    I've been without a pc for a while, now have a new with Windows 10. Just downloaded latest Firefox. I put it to always open in private browsing mode. But it does not work. When I close the browser, and then re - opening, my start page is not display the mask or indicate private browsing. I can get it in the usual way, just right-click on the icon that gives you options to open the new window or a private.
    I tried to turn on/off the navigation mode private the several times, still no luck.

    Probably, you won't see the purple mask of private browsing mode when you are in permanent PB mode because all windows are automatically in PB mode.
    You will see the mask when Firefox is started in normal mode and you open a new private window.

    You can use an extension for private browsing mode support tab.

  • permitted in offline mode does not work since Java-Version 1.6.0_29

    Hi, our Appl. JNLP includes < off line-enabled > but on windows systems, it does not work if Internet is disconnected.
    He tries to go online again - and fails, see below: some of the resources required are not cached.

    I notice that any of our <>resources are stored in the Java Console "Resourses"!
    Of course: temporary files are allowed (1000 Ko), that the application itself is stored in the program!

    Someone has an idea, what happens? Java Version_26 worked perfectly.
    Thank you

    Hi Paul,.

    Unfortunately, I can confirm this problem too.
    That this regression has been already corrected in the version 1.6.0_01 report has been 6494357.
    Although the details of this bug may be different from what you get on screen the result is the same. The application works just not at all
    as soon as you are offline and when it uses the file extension jnlp.
    Once the access to internet is back, the application downloads again parts that still no change has been made.

    I fixed this problem by creating a unique jnlp without using any extension to this condition that works.

    It's not all...
    In windows XP, we can not use more the possibility to create our own progress bar, several new issues appear such as:
    The custom panel keep focus, which prevents the user to interact with all the windows open until the download is complete... (even the task managed to stop the current process)
    The values returned by the method of 'DownloadServiceListener' are bad or not properly refreshed. Sometimes the "read this far '" is heigher than the total ' to read '.
    When you have several Internet access, which means that Ethernet or wifi, you can not run a java web start application after spending between the two.
    You get two times a sign with an exclamation with nothing more. A little later, the Group deviation appears with more indication of a question on a connection delay.
    There is no other choice than restarting your computer.

  • Qosmio X 875 - ECO mode does not work immediately after Win 8 upgrade

    I used the upgrade Toshiba Upgrade Wizard to Win 8. He succeeded well uninstall the incompatible software before the upgrade and install the new Toshiba and driver versions after the upgrade.

    I activated the ECO mode, and to my surprise, it does not work as before (in Windows 7):

    * Now, it works with the brightness to level 1 *... very dark. Before, ECO mode allowed me to go up to level 4 and was always considered in Eco mode...

    If I increase the brightness, the 'eco mode is disabled' message opens immediately.

    How to contact Toshiba to inform them of this problem and the other problem I found with the new BIOS?

    BTW, I am owner of a Qosmio X 875

    Contact your Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

    > It changes the brightness of the display of level 4, changes the brightness of the grey screen of level 1 (* 4),.
    _The * 4 means only on models with Windows7 installed _

    I guess that the previous configuration was only Win 7.

    8 win was made for mobile (use of the Tablet), the energy consumption of battery is also very important plant help to win 8. The consumption of the battery must be taken at the lowest level possible.
    So I guess that now help win 8 ECO medium mode and save the power max and long battery life time working at a max level.

  • blending mode does not work.

    I am unable to use the mix mode (screen) on my videos (shockwave) stock. He worked earlier but for some reason, he decided to stop working. He used to work with only the video layer stock alone, but now its not let me do blend with a single mode layer, now I have to use several layers for it to work. If I disable the other layer (not the stock of video) there is a black screen where the transparency is, as if it's a video of regular stock, same flood on the screen is activated. It's stupid because I just could, be able to have a layer and blend mode would continue to operate. Basically I can't use on a single layer blend modes as to make black become transparent. even if I could do a few minutes ago. Ive tried resetting preferences, Ive tried to restart the computer. With no luck. Someone help me please ():

    Here you can see that his game on the screen and the background is transparent but still black is not transparent.               Here, there is a red solid layer below the video of stock, which is on the screen. It works fine, but I don't want to have to add a solid layer, whenever I want something from the screen.

    after effects black.pngafter effects.png

    You're wrong. The screen mode creates no transparency, it does that add some pixel values with a luminance value more high than black. Screen does not generate transparencies, never, never will.

    You can use Knoll Unmult to ensure transparency of the black areas in an image. It's easier work.

  • Disable the setting of the play Mode does not work

    I have searched through the forum and with Google searches and saw he has discussed with several threads, but encountered no valid patches (or bypasses) so I thought I would try here...

    At work, I started in looking for a way to disable the 'read' for Adobe Reader X (version 10) Mode when the documents are displayed in a web browser, because a large number of users is complained about this.  I tried to disable (uncheck) the setting in the player 'Préférences', under the category of the Internet, but that has no effect on the way. PDF files are displayed.  I have tested this using multiple versions of multiple browsers (IE and FireFox) and ran on several versions of Windows (XP and 7).  However, even after unchecking the setting, the translucent toolbar still floating in the lower central part of the page.

    By clicking on the icon "Clover" ("see the toolbar Acrobat') to anchor the toolbar in a persistent horizontal row at the top of the window, which is what our users prefer, but having to do it manually with each document being read (which for some users, the number of hundreds per day) is extremely heavy.  In addition, unless I'm a bad interpretation of the description given by the Adobe documentation, that's exactly what the setting "Default playback Mode display" is supposed to control.

    Just for the record, here are other things that I looked at:

    • Confirmed that the [Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\] registry key, "bBrowserDisplayInReadMode", is actually used to 0 when the setting is disabled.
    • Tried to restart the browser, restart the computer and tried the test above under Windows XP and Windows 7.
    • Wanted by the release notes for each release / update of version X (10.1.1 10.1.2 10.1.3) to see if he had any information about it as a known bug, but found nothing.  Came across another post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4087017#4087017) that claimed that the emitted are, indeed, a known bug that was supposed to be fixed in version 10.1.1.  However, my testing shows otherwise.
    • I have observed that even if the setting "Default playback Mode display" is not checked in the program settings (i.e. the start menu-> programs-> Adobe Reader, then clicking on 'Edit'-> 'Préférences'), if any. PDF file is then opened with a new browser session, not only is not docked toolbar, but if you right click and choose "Page Display Preferences", the parameter "Default playback Mode display" is checked.  Unchecking it, however, does not seem to have any effect.

    We appreciate any comments or suggestions.

    Again, I find answering me my own message / question.

    Apparently, this problem (parameter "Read Mode" has not influence) is a bug which is present in the version of Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 and after you have deployed the latest patch (quarterly), AcrobatUpd1013.msp, the problem has been resolved.  The parameter "Default playback Mode display" is managed correctly, so that the Reader toolbar is docked when the setting is off and returns to the floating, translucent toolbar / disappears when the option is checked.  It is more necessary to press the F8 key.

    Hope this info may help someone of another encounter the same problem.
