make vista works with 98

I bought my laptop 3 GB almost a year ago and never configured so far.  It has Windows Vista. I have to be able to use it for my work but also personal, but the company will not place the essential software needed because they had to spend more than $10 K for all employees with 98 to work with vista server.  I don't know much about computers, but the key is that they do not like my Vista computer.  The old lap top, they gave me to use has 98 on it but only has 512 MB or something like that on it and is very slow.  I heard there are free down loads of Windows who correct most of these problems.  Therefore, is this true and if so, what should I do to put them on my computer?  How do they work?

You can try this for program compatibility problems; but NO guarantee that it will work!

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.

This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7.  Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

    Apple QuickTime 7 works is because. MOV is the Apple
    QuickTime format.

    QuickTime. MOV files can cause problems with Windows Media Player.
    And... If you plan to try editing with Movie Maker... the files should
    be converted to the. WMV format.

    No guarantee, but the following decoder might allow Windows Media
    Reader to read your. MOV files. Only problem is... it is not freeware to retail.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.4 decoder
    http://store.3ivx.com/3ivxStore/product_details.php?ID=11

    Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format may be worth a try:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format

  • Why does Vista work with adobe flash player and RoboForm?

    Why does Vista work with adobe flash player and RoboForm?

    original title: Vista 64-bit

    He does.  Even if you ask the wrong way.  It is not Windows Vista which would "work with" other applications, it's other applications that "work with" (or not) Windows Vista.  After all - Windows has no need or the other of these two applications to run, but these two applications need to Windows (or some other applicable/compatible OS) service.

    Not only it works with both - but Adobe is finally released with a version 64-bit Flash Player - so you can use it with the version 32-bit and 64-bit Internet Explorer.

    If there is no error in Device Manager, do through these documents for more information and the last for troubleshooting ideas:

  • HP is working to make SimplePass works with Google Chrome?

    I'm just curious to know if anyone knows if they work on SimplePass to work properly with Chrome. Moreover, they already have and it's a local problem of mine? I saw him work on some sites, but not very many. Among those that he worked for this one is (of course). Among those that he didn't is Google (sort of a big). I really like the software, so I'd like to operate constantly, but not worth leaving Chrome (personal preference).

    November 8, 2013 - updated version of HP SimplePass suggested CHANGES work with Chrome

    The best thing you can do is to make sure you're on the latest version of HP SimplePass.

    • FIRST, back up (export) your wbcards:

    Export the Webcard database:

    When you have working software SimplePass, export your Webcards.  In the case where you must remove the SimplePass software, your webcard backup can be used (imported) to restore your Web site login information.

    Start SimplePass > parameters > export NOTE: file will be called *.tsd

    ============================================================================

    Writing, the latest Windows 7 / 8 compatible HP SimplePass:

    sp63224 HP SimplePass V6.0.100.276 Win7-8

    NOTE: This version works solves the problem of V29.x of Chrome that abut the SimplePass chrome addon

    =============================================================================

    NOTE:

    You don't have to change your driver Validity Sensor; You can reinstall the driver before upgrade you the software SimplePass:

    • Control Panel > display icon > device management > biometric devices > Validity Sensor >
    • Right click on the driver Validity Sensor and "Uninstall" (do not remove IT)
    • Restart / reboot the computer and log in
    • The driver will reinstall it connect you to

    ===============================================================================

    Then install the software - you should be able to overload them, in other words, install the new version over the old.  Do not remove the old version.

    Good luck!

  • How can animated GIFs, I do to make them work with Windows 7?

    I can't do the animated GIFs to work after that I have download on my computer.

    I tried to get a few new avatars and for some reason that I can't animated GIFs to work after that I have download it to my computer, they remain as an ordinary image. For example, if I tried to get ith animated GIFs

    So I followed the directions [with the right button on the image below and select "save under" only for personal purposes: Please do not send to other sites.] (see our TOS)]   and always get a still image. What I am doing wrong?

    What is going on with everything I tried to copy or download animated GIFs, never had this problem with Windows XP.
    Now I have windows 7.

    Help? anyone?

    Thank you

    Have a look here.

    Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default programs, "Associate a type of file or Protocol with a program", the command on my machine the default program for .gif is Internet Explorer.  Which appear to indicate a page full of IE with an animated .gif, maybe you need a third party program to do what you want?

    Go to IE tools/internet options/advanced/multimedia. Make sure that the option to play the animations is turned on. If no joy, make sure that your connections are associated with Internet Explorer - if you click on a .gif file in windows Explorer, IE should open to view it.  Some security software can disable the animation.

    If you have not installed another browser like Google Chrome, Safari, etc..., then Internet Explorer will be the only listed brower because it comes with Windows.  You can use IE with other browsers installed.

    This is the site that is faulty. I disabled all Add ons, IE running as an administrator and nothing happens when it comes to video or sound.

  • How can I make it work with just an Apple TV, AirPort Express and iPod/iPad/iPhone?

    Hello people of Apple, I have some questions about a new "setup" of Apple products that I hope I can get to work between them. In other words, I need to know if what I am wanting to do in fact is possible with this new configuration.

    Current set up:

    • mini iMac (a former member of 2010, but fully updated for OSX El Capitan)
    • drive external HARD as the Time Capsule disk and with tons of music not purchased through the iTunes store (from my CD collection)
    • Old Airport Express connected to the modem (which received the fiber of my ISP)
    • 3rd Gen iPad
    • iPhone 6 more (work phone)
    • iPod Classic 5th Gen with close to 30 GB of my library and plugged on my car stereo to
    • iPod Shuffle 4th Gen for gym

    I want my setup to be:

    • Apple TV
    • Airport Extreme with external HARD disk * even from above * (my library backup iTunes music around, videos and photos) connected via USB
    • iPad Pro
    • iPhone 6 Plus
    • iPod Classic 5th Gen that I want to stay plugged into my car stereo to
    • iPod Shuffle 4th Gen for gym

    So my questions are: can I continue to sync my iPod Classic and my iPod Shuffle without a computer (I guess maybe not), and if so, HOW? I'll be able to sync the iPad and iPhone via wifi without computer as well? Also, I'll be able to play my library directly from the drive external HARD using the Apple TV?

    I'm guessing / hoping that the new Apple TV from the music/iTunes app and the pictures/iPhoto app, I can connect my iPod to the airport and synchronize them via the app AND connect Apple TV directly on the HARD disk via the airport. And perhaps also to synchronize the iPad and the iPhone on wifi in all Apple TV apps or something or maybe I just need any Uploader in iCloud and will not even need the HARD drive more except as a backup. Help!

    You have need of computer-Mac or PC. You can sync the iPhone/iPad wireless, but only via a computer in iTunes, I'm not sure about the capacity of wifi iPod.  Not to mention the iTunes, the software is required to manage the devices and media.  Important note: you must always back up your purchases - just because you buy a book, movie, TV show, song today does not necessarily mean that the media will be available from Apple servers for eternity.  The Studios retain rights and may, at any time, sign an exclusive agreement with a network, streaming provider etc which would then remove this file to be available on Apple servers.  You must download and save purchases - that would need a computer running iTunes software. You could buy storage for all your media, but then additional personal iCloud yet you would need a computer to manage. In addition, with respect to the Apple TV, you cannot connect all readers.  The USB port is only for the restaurant and full-service.  The Apple TV is a streaming device, but for the local media, he uses homeshare, which requires a computer iTunes rather than be connected directly to a storage device.  Although there are other applications like plex or infusion but they would require a NAS configuration rather than the HARD disk, and you would want / need a computer to manage the NAS server...

    the only thing you want to eliminate is the only thing that is required for all...
