How to install portal 2 on windows 7 from disc

I have a challenge loading portal 2 on windows 7 that I understand that this can be done from the disk instead of using steam program but how?

Describe the problem. What is, or isn't it? Are there any error messages?

The game will be installed from the disc, but you must always install Steam and to connect to steam
to play initially.
If you have not already installed the game, Steam should install Steam automatically, but
Steam will still want to update the Steam client and probably the game as well before she will
allow you to play.
-Sometimes the steam will try to download a game, even if you start the installation from disc.
This can be stopped. I've had this happen twice, but I don't remember the series of events.
There should be instructions on how to stop the Steam download on the Steam support page.

Steam support

Knowledge Base - Steam support

If you have an internet connection slow, running any game related steam can be painful at best.
or not viable, because some games require significant updates before Steam will allow you to play.
Yes - same single player games that you can play offline once steam has its way, but not
front.

    someone knows how to install the HP 6910P for windows display driver 8

    Hello:

    I would, run the file from W7 driver and try a manual install from Device Manager. If he gets to install the driver very well.

    If this is not the case, close the error window and this...

    Click on the graphics card in Device Manager.  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select the 'Browse my computer for software' and navigate to the installation folder that was created when you ran the file.

    Which will be located in C:\SWSetup\spXXXXX where XXXXX is the number of the download folder pilot that you ran.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected, and I hope that the driver will be installed.

    If this fails, connect you to the internet and try the update of autopilot for the device in Device Manager and see if windows update detects a driver of it.

    I installed W8 on my HP 6930p and everything on my PC works fine (I have the ATI graphics card on mine).

  • HOW to install Fedora 15 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit host

    Hello

    I've seen several threads on how to install Windows on Fedora, I would install Fedora 15 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit VM Workstation 7

    I get this error just after the start of the graphical installer:

    An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please, save a copy of the detailed exception and file a bug report.

    I didn't have access to the network for this virtual computer (and maybe that's the problem) so I was not able to report the bug. I tried to save the file, and it is listed as recorded in:

    Fedora 15/anaconda-tb - S24Mwsry3WEg.xml

    but I'm unable to locate this file. And since the VM did not put in place I cannot drag-and - drop or copy the file to the host (or so I think).

    Read the first lines:
