  I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)

  Hi Bcopeland,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

  Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

  The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

  You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.

  Compatibility Center

  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

  a. click right on the program.

  b. click Properties.

  c. click on the tab compatibility.

  d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.

  Here is an article that gives you more information on this:

• LaserJet p2015 is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit

  I just got a new computer with Windows Vista 64-bit operating system.  I tried to connect my HP Laserjet P2015 printer, but it was not recognized.  In addition, the computer does not recognize the CD supplied with the printer.  Download the necessary software on this site?  I can't seem to find it on mine, and I am a novice when it comes to computers.  Any help out there?  see you soon

  Go to Support & drivers above.  Click on drivers.  Enter the model number of your printer.  A list of drivers should appear.  IF Windows Vista 64 bit is listed, click on that and you should be on your way.  BUT be aware that not all older printers are compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit.  I have a HP Scanjet 4470c which is not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit on my new HP computer.  So I have a HP Scanner perfectly although I can't use and this Scanner is not that old.  Good luck!

• I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I try the windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware device 3D

  I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.

  Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).

  In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).

  Hello

  Do a clean install of XP with the XP disk provided by Dell, if you.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm

  If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Dell and ask them to send you a XP disc.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

  Vista installation was able to destroy this option of relocation:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  A Dell must rely on Ctrl + F11 at STARTUP to reinstall XP

• Old game is not compatible with Windows 7

  I am trying to install a game like on my Windows 7 PC and I think I have this game is not compatible with it. It worked fine on my old PC which has Vista. Is there a way to download Windows Vista because I can't find one here. I downloaded something a half hour ago, but when I tried to install it nothing happened. I can't find here from Vista, it just keeps telling me to download Windows 7, which I already have. My computer came with Windows 7, so I don't think that there is a way to get back to Vista. I am getting really annoyed and I help with this

  Suddenly the game works, I had just to click on the button "Retry" a million times. It is still coming up with the same error message, but it seems to work (a bit)

  If it worked on vista and you win 7 is the same bit (32-bit for the two, 64 for both) it should work in win 7 by installing in compatibility mode

  To install an older driver in win 7, you must install it in compatibility mode.

  To install made compatibility mode right click the installer, go to properties, then compatibility.  Choose the appropriate operating system

  This is my first shot to create a virtual machine VMware

  We just got a new server in a data center

  Its windows 2008 Server. (the 64-bit version)

  My plan is to run a Server 2008 ontop of a host of Server 2008 virtual machine

  First I used a converter for P2V - this bit has been successful, so basically I took a picture of the host and converted to a Virtual Machine.

  I put the image to use 1 core of the dual core CPU and the memory (4gig) half and half of disk space on drive D (50 GB)

  Then I installed virtual server 2, and any

  Then I installed the thing that makes you see the window in Internet Explorer (some may be active x thing?)

  In any case, at the time of starting the server VM, I get the message:

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem:

  1. Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer

  2. choose your language settings

  I'm a little confused on this, the server is located in a datacenter somewhere and I don't think that the CD option is viable, because they will probably be responsible for a lot of things to do

  Any ideas what I should try?

  the cpu is 64-bit but because I split at the image, I'm not sure if that is break things

  Any advice appreciated

  You can run virtual servers, they simply can be 64-bit because your processor doesn't support VT

• I tried firefox update, but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re - install the old version my favorites will always be there?

  I tried firefox update, but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re - install the old version my favorites will always be there?

  Yes. This should not be a problem.

• Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

  General information:
  I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

  Question:
  I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

  I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

  Old JSON Code snippet: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1306670152435000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"title":"Bookmarks Menu","id":2,"parent":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1381254048121000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"title":"Recently Bookmarked","id":6,"parent":2,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4,"mimeType":null,"type":3,"value":"RecentlyBookmarked"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI& maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 "}, {'index': 1,"title":"Recent Tags", 'id': 7, 'parent': 2,"annos": [{'name':" places/SmartBookmark', 'flags': 0, 'expires': 4, 'mimeType': null, 'type': 3, 'value': 'RecentTags'}], 'type': ' text/x-moz-place', 'uri' ":" place: sort = 14 & type = 6 & maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 ""}, {'index': 2, 'title': id '',' ': 8, 'parent': 2, 'dateAdded': 1294868015246000, 'lastModified': 1294868015246000, 'type': "text/x-moz-place-separator"}

  Solution?
  In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

  Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

  There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
  For example,.

  setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.
  
  
  
  Former id snippit:
  "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
  New snippit
  {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

  There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
  «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

  But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

  I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

  Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

  My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.
