New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 vs 10?

New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 against 10 using virtualization?

The two big names of virtualization are Parallels and VMware. They have a sort of leap-frogging each other in terms of features. Parallels has a fairly seamless integration between Mac and Windows.

Your Mac is also already comes with Boot Camp, which lets you install Windows on a separate partition.

    Hi John,.

    Please specify if you have purchased DC Acrobat or Acrobat 11 or upgrade you to the latest patch for Acrobat 11, that is to say 11.0.11 so that we can help you accordingly.

    I wonder if you have checked your system requirements before you download Acrobat.

    I would also ask to share with you the screenshot of the error message with us.

    You could probably uninstall Acrobat using cleaning tool. Here is the link for the same thing.

  • Error when you try to run an application that worked when built with 8.6

    I have a simple program that I wrote in the 8.6 version that I've never had a problem generation and execution of applications built with it to 8.6.  Two weeks ago, I got 2009 by mail because we had very recently purchased 8.6 and I get errors when you try to run an application built with the same code using 2009.  The error relates to the Mean.vi.  He claims that he can't find it.  The error I get is as follows:

    Error loading VI 'NI_AALBase.lvlib:Mean.vi '.  LabVIEW support 3 error code: could not load façade.  I don't have access to the front panel of this vi, so I wonder if there is a problem with the runtime and not my code.  Please answer as soon as possible because it will quickly start to the impact of my calendar.  Thank you.

    Hello!

    The same problem ?

    I talked with my local OR technical support team. The application now works without any problem.

    Rule of thumb: when creating a Setup program do not forget that the option "Run Time Engine xxxx" in the category "Other installers" is selected despite the fact that the runtime is already installed.

    Best regards.

  • All .exe files go to the Download Manager and ask if you want to run or save

    Suddenly my pc win 7 cannot run .exe files.  When it starts, I get several windows asking me if I want to run or save each of the boot files.  When I click on an icon for an application, I get the same thing.  If I click on for example a Word document file, Word opens very well, but I can't not all .exe files to run directly.  Even if I go to the Task Manager and click on "new task" and try and invoke Notepad - for example "do you want to run or save.  Even if I go to the control panel and ask search and solve problems - "do you want to run or save rundll32.exe"... Ditto for chkdsk and even for antivirus scanners or malicious software.  All the solutions I can find here seem to imply somehow running a .exe program to diagnose / fix and that's exactly what I can't do.  If you click on "run" in the download dialog there is an attempt to open a window, and then you're right to "do you want to run or save" the same .exe program.  Programs that save files still work all their saved files, it seems a simpler problem rather than a massive corruption.  Yet Labour Office associations, such as the 'open with' for example image files.  Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows?  Thank you very much!

    Any ideas before you give up and reinstall Windows?

    -> A a more effective and less painful method would go like this:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.

    The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

    Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

    The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  • I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

    I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

    Where should I go from here

    Hello

    You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  • Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

    Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

    Nothing is installed on the system. That's all, flash USB, a folder or drive.
    You don't have to install anything. So why can not run portable applications on RT?

    I know exactly what is a portable application. It requires no additional drivers installed or libraries to run on a system, if one is required that they are either built into the executable and extracted the runtime or are included in the same location as the executable and are referenced from this location.

    No portable application is not somehow the operating system to display the current status, error messages or generate logs for its operation. If it cannot accept input during its operation or generate a form of output it has no function. This is the basic description of a program to have one or the other or both.

    When you double-click an executable file is Windows (if it's the operating system) giving you the ability to open its location, see the executable file in order to select and issue the command to run. It's Windows that then loads this program in memory to run. If necessary, Windows that displays the dialog box to provide any input and display results or error messages generated by the program. If the result is a log file that it is Windows that allows access to the drive to create the file and the result is an error state in Windows that stores the status of the error, then it can be interpreted by another program. If the output is to change the status of the computer in a way, it's Windows that gives access to this device or component. The Hardware Abstraction Layer allows access to the hardware itself if necessary by a program and even that is a part of Windows.

    So I know what a laptop program is, more important still, I also know what is Windows.
