Lenovo Windows XP versus Mode XP mode?

I'm implementing a new W520 ordered with option "Windows XP Mode". Appropriate menu file has entries for "Lenovo XP Mode" as expected "Windows XP Mode".

What is the difference, if any?

I hesitate to do what is obvious and try both, since the "first boot" process is not reversible and may (or not) have advantages in the initialization of one of them on the other.

A ' net search for "Lenovo XP Mode" was a dead-end.

OK - problem solved and I'm a model. The "Windows XP Mode" shortcut goes to the VM expected. The "Lenovo XP Mode" shortcut is a... Manual PDF!  : sigh: too literal for my own good, but maybe he'll answer the question for someone else on the line.

  • Download Windows 10 Windows 7 safe mode

    My laptop Lenovo starts only in Safe Mode; I have Windows 7 installed and updated.  This afternoon he stops suddenly and will now start safe mode, no matter what I do, including restoring to a previous restore point.

    You can not run the upgrade in Safe Mode and wouldn't take the risk from corruption in the new OS even when.

    If it works in Windows safe mode, then you have a problem with other software, maybe a security software or a system driver that runs on your computer.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

    OP: Install problems Windows

    I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

    Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

    1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

    I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

    I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)

  • Windows 7 Compatibility Mode behavior

    I am reproducing this issue I posted earlier, at superuser.com without getting any response. I need to know the answer to this question; more and more of my users have this problem.

    http://superuser.com/questions/743064/Windows-7s-compatibility-mode-behavior

    Review the settings of Mode of Application compatibility for a typical Windows program:

    The question is: what exactly will happen to the environment (in particular, access to C:\ProgramData) provided by Windows in the program where the only change is to set properties for compatibility with WinXP SP3, as follows:

    The background:

    An application that has been updated during the golden age of Windows XP gives us some problems now. Specifically, it is optimized to use a .NET library to write files in a subdirectory in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% area (on Windows 7, this is generally C:\ProgramData ) which are essential to the license of the application. The files themselves are plain text files.

    These text files are created and written to using a much newer and separate program .NET that works without problems, write the files to the right place. But then the old program does not read the files correctly; We have not been able to determine exactly what is happening.

    Many users find that setting compatibility mode allows the system to function properly. I need to better understand that much.

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

    Once Microsoft stops support for Windows XP, what will happen to Windows 7 in XP Mode. Microsoft will still support Win7 in XP Mode and make corrections as needed?

    When I had a chat with a Microsoft support person, the update I received is "the technology of Microsft Windows 7 XP mode will continue support."

    I want to know if Microsoft will come out of the patches specific to Windows 7 in XP Mode (if all problems identified in Windows 7 in XP mode).

    You can check the settings of the Virtual Machine, and under the integration features, there is a list of players who need to be selected.  Make sure the CD. DVD players, readers, printers, etc. are checked.

    This speaks (towards the end) the removal of the settings of the virtual machine file (.vmc and his backup) and create a .vmc file and use the current .vhd file with the newly created parameter file.

  • Windows 7 - XP mode too slow

    I recently bought a new computer from HP with Dual-Core processor and 5 GB of RAM, 64-bit system that came with Windows 7 Home edition, and I intend to use it with my MasterCamX3 64-bit. My software is not compatible with Windows7 so I bought the upgrade to Windows7Pro in order to use virtual XP mode. The installation went smoothly, but in virtual XP mode the short MasterCam unacceptable slow. I have spent 3 GB RAMM at the Virtual XP without success. MasterCam dealer told me it's the computer that runs not fast enough because the executed program much more quickly on an old regular XP machine. In fact the Manager of tasks in XP mode, shows me only one processor (even if the computer has dual-core, which is visible in the Manager of tasks W7) which is used 100% whenever I do any small task in MasterCam.
    At the virtual XP Mode just under W7 emergency use and is known to be the slowest? I get best result since XP if I downgrade from Windows 7 to XP pro?

    Thank you.

    XP mode is emulating XP, it will always be much less good results, especially if she tries to virtualize things like video playback or working with the material.  I think it would be better to get the software compatible with Windows 7: XP mode is simply intended to productivity software.
