• New installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit does not install the Windows updates

  I tried it twice.  I install Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on a ThinkPad T61.  After installation and activation successful Windows, I tried Windows updates.  The 'check updates' never ends.  After the first installation of Windows, I tried all sorts of bugs found either here or other Windows Help Web sites, does not.  So I reinstalled Windows, but with the same result.

  After that the first installation was impossible to install updates, I received the Windows Update stand-alone Installer and downloaded the stand-alone files for updates.  Would install things like IE updates, but no security update would install, as well as most other updates.  Yet once, just standalone Setup would continue to search for already installed updates without ever ending.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for the comments.  It's good to hear that you have actually solved the problem.

• Problems with my installation of Windows XP and my computer does not start on the CD.

  Hi, I need BIG help here please!... I wanted to do a fresh install of Win XP Pro, but my PC didn't boot from the XP CD...

  Thank you!

  original title: HELP for the installation of Win XP.

  Hi Jorge,.

  So the only thing I can think is that it is a sort of master/slave thing.

  Your IDE HDD will be a Knight, probably alongside where the power cable is inserted, to dictate whether the player will be considered to be a master, slave, or cable select. Assuming that it is the only HARD drive in the PC, make sure it is designated "master". Then, in the BIOS, make sure that the boot order is specified as HDD0 first (as opposed to HDDx where x is greater than zero).

  In addition, assuming that the data cable is the new type of Ribbon with strands of 80, make sure that the blue connector of the IDE data cable is in the motherboard and that the end of the black connector is in the HARD disk and, if it is a two-disc data cable, do not use the gray connector.

• Try to install Indiana Jones and the infernal Machine, Windows (8 / ME) compatibility mode does not

  I try to install Indian Jones and the Doomsday Machine on my computer.
  I tried using the compatibility mode for windows 98 / ME, but it does not work. When I run the program splash arrives, but when I click on install it closes then nothing happens. There are no errors.
  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
  Also I install the original CD, and it has worked before in older computers (running Win 98 of course).
  Any help would be appreciated.

  The game should run fine under Win7 64 bit. The problem is that the installer is only 16 bit and is no longer supported in Windows. Just use a different Setup program. Try www.markusegger.at. I'm running the Doomsday Machine, Alliance Xwing, Xwing v's Tiefighter, and Grim fandango all on 64 bit Win7 all using custom Setup programs.

  I also used the original X-wing, Tie-fighter and fate of Atlantis via Dosbox.

• the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

  Hello

  I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

  the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

   

  
  How do I solve this problem

  Hello

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

  Images of Windows 7.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site
  and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.

  If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
  Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, start by installing the card mother/chipset driver first,
  then the SATA, Audio, USB, LAN, etc, drivers.

  If you have an Intel motherboard, you can try the Intel driver update utility: http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm?iid=dc_iduu

  Check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the newer Windows XP drivers for your card.

  I have an OEM Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. How do I know what

  To check if your XP operating system is 64-bit, you only have to right click on "My computer" and select 'Properties' to display 'system properties '.   If your XP operating system is XP Professional 64-bit, 64-bit will be indicated in the information displayed in the general tab.  However, XP 32 bit operating systems won't have 32-bit, there is no information about this particular point at all.  The XP Home Edition will be 32-bit, but this information does not appear.  XP Professional, however, can be either 32-bit or 64-bit.  If it is 64-bit, it will be indicated on the general tab of the system properties. However, if it is XP Professional 32-bit, nothing is there to indicate that the operating system is 32-bit.

  Vista and Windows 7, unlike XP, OS will indicate if they are 32-bit or 64-bit.
