Regression to XP Pro

How the hell can I get XP Pro installed on the Vista on my PC?

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

Then buy a disc XP and license.

Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  • Satellite Pro C70-A-159 boots white screen (or almost)

    A non-technical friend asked me to look at his Satellite Toshiba Pro C70-A-159.

    It was a Christmas gift and worked perfectly for eight months two days ago (according to him), he won t boot. Actually, it does, in a screen with no connection options to stop / restart / activate on screen keyboard etc. (reading these forums, is not an uncommon problem).

    Safe mode works very well, even with the network. Restore points three last system (one at a time) declining makes no difference. CHKDSK (at the DOS prompt) reported no problems. Gas station (in safe mode) won early that it is perhaps corrupt please reinstall or restart. I put t know how to do the first (and am not sure it s a good idea unless I know it will solve the problem), rebooting makes no difference. Start with logging or debug might be useful if I knew where it connected to!

    I suspect it has improved to 8.1 from the Microsoft site, no Toshiba. Before making a full backup of the data, regress of Windows 8 and follow the (fairly complex) instructions for upgrading to 8.1 properly, is there anything else I can try?

    Hi Adrian

    I also think that you should test the functionality with the factory settings. Talk with your friend and ask if there is some important data saved on his computer. Make a backup and install original recovery image.

    Here's the brief description - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
    What you can do too before start you is to create recovery media, just to be sure you if something goes wrong. You can create this preinstalled use Toshiba recovery media creator support.

    Reinstall the original recovery image and check a bit how it works. You can improve it later to Win8.1.
    Here is page s Toshiba on the steps how to do this - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    I think that your friend will be happy when you do all that and bring him back 100% of work and Win8.1 machine.

    Good luck

  • Meeting place for Dell 8 Pro + Windows 10 + No Sound Drivers OK

    Does anyone else have a problem with their coming 8 Pro?  I have upgraded to Windows 10 and everything seemed fine, then a few days ago the sound has stopped working.  The sound icon had a red in the taskbar as if 'X' cut and I couldn't turn on the sound.  The scroll bar does not, even on the physical switches.

    I unloaded the driver and rebooted and it seemed to accept and had no errors in Device Manager (I tried both later and regressed to a previous version of the driver... no luck).  The slider bar has worked and it was reactivated without doubt.  I did a test in the sound setting menu, and he reported that he was unable to play.

    So I did a factory restore Dell Windows 8 and the sound is back.  So good, it was not a hardware problem.  But we have all found their fair will stop working on Windows 10 (worked great for a few months now)?  I don't have my heart set to level my meeting place for 8 to 10 Windows because everything I do on this machine is to surf the web, but I think it will be a possibility.

    This true isn´t at all. I found a workaround. I downloaded the Dell booth 8.1 Windows

    then I went to the Device Manager and clicked on both devices under "Audio - video - and Gamecontroller" the names of these two devices are 'Intel ESS Audio Device (WDM) and "IS2 Realtek Audio Codec".

    Do right click go to properties and chose to update the drivers

    Choose "desktop search".

    Choose "from the list.

    Choose "install device".

    Now search for Drivers for Win 8.1 in the cabin - you should probably remove it with software like 7zip

    '5830-win8.1-A06-KY92D.CAB\5830\win8.1\x86\chipset\PKVD4_A05-00\Drivers\Audio\ '.

    Here you can find the files INF. choose them, install it and restart your computer. Do the same for devices stand in Manager.

    After that, you can see two drivers if by clicking on choose in the list as in the screen above. Ensure that you have chosen the one of 22.11.2013.

    Now you should make it sound now, from time to time, it is necessary to reinstall the 2013, but it works fine for me now.

    In constance. His important force windows to use this old pilot, only try to install a new and chose that an older version causes windows always using the new driver for windows 10.

  • Why is 'Edit in Audition' greyed in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

    Since the launch of CC 2014 option in Premiere Pro and After Effects to 'Edit in Audition' is grayed out. Right-clicking on a clip in Premiere Pro is not an option for hearing. I can't send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted Adobe Support staff earlier this evening. They suggested to go to my Mac system preferences and allow the root user, log out of my account, connect to the root user, stop and start in safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. He is always grayed out in the two user accounts.

    Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled the hearing. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Yet once, never had this problem before.

    I'd appreciate any help!

    Thank you!

    See you soon,.

    I may have an answer for you, but do not know if my resolution will work for Macs.

    First of all, here is my system and the initial info. I use a work computer, OS is Windows 7. I've just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 a week ago, and I also uninstalled previous versions of all my programs creative cloud after installing new versions (CC 2014 is not simply to update the previous version, it installs a new program and does automatically uninstall previous programs of CC). Not sure whether to for this resolution to work the uninstall.

    In any case, after I installed first Pro CC 2014 and 2014 CC hearing, the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command was available in the Edition in the Menu bar menu, but has been disabled in the context menu to the sequence (for the context menu, it was visible, but gray and disabled). When I tried to use the command in the Edit menu in the Menu bar, he gave me a dialog box fill and it has created a new folder (called "Adobe Audition to Exchange"). So, the command, when selected from the 'Edit' menu has obviously uses a different process from the command in the context menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new record created, or to fill a dialog, I wanted to just behave like he used to. In fact, when I right click on the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition on the shortcut menu, it just opens the hearing and the audio waveform is visible.

    I was able to solve this problem and get the right click command works by reading a few articles on this same issue of Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and those to help understand how to solve this problem in Adobe CC 2014.

    Here's what I did:

    • I had to find my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same place, as they were for the previous version of the CC (at least, they were not for me). I had to use the command search and find extensions of .sesx to locate.
    • Found under the path C: > users > Public > Public Documents > Adobe > hearing > 7.0 > model Session. Note that (for me), there is a folder called 6.0 at the same level as the record of 7.0 . I selected the 7.0 folder this folder contained the most recent set of files of .sesx. I checked the folder 6.0 and those are the .sesx of the previous version files, so I deleted this folder as a cleaning step.
    • I clicked on one of the. sesx files in the folder Templates of Session chosen then Open with on the shortcut menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
    • I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 of the list of programs (you may need to browse to find it) and always use the selected program to open this type of fileselected. I then clicked on OK to submit the order of configuration and close the Open with dialog box.
    • I rebooted first Pro CC 2014 and the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command is now enabled in the context menu and worked properly.
    • I cried with joy... OK, not really, but I'm still peeved at ridiculous regression errors and lack of extensive testing of new versions of the software, so I'm glad the frustrating problems.

    Don't know if this will help you, or if you already solved your problem. Whatever it is, good luck!

  • Locate the temporary workspace on a MacBook Pro

    Hello-

    I have a MacBook Pro bought recently which has been partitioned in Mac OS and Windows. By running software on the Windows side, I realized that I don't know how to locate the temporary workspace on this machine. In other words, on a Windows PC, there are files named 'Local Settings' and 'Temp' in which is placed a temporary storage.

    Where are their analogues on a Mac, how are they appointed and how to find them?

    Thank you

    Under/Users, there is a directory with your name. There is a whole/private directories, which are usually used for temporary work space. Is there a specific reason/question looking for files/directories?

  • MacBook Pro display problem

    Hello members of the community.

    As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

    The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

    I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

    It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

    I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

    In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

    I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

    Any constructive contribution welcome!

    See you soon.

  • Sierra and MacBook Pro

    Sierra runs very slowly in my MacBook Pro. All applications take a long time to open.

    A few simple things first:

    -clear the NVRAM (now restart until you hear the chime a couple of times, and then release the command-option-P-R keys)

    -reset the SMC

    -start in Safe Mode and start again normally

    If this doesn't produce any improvement, download and run Etrecheck and post the report here.

    Most often, the problem is a software conflict caused by programs that were not updated to run in the current version, or by the user who installed an antivirus or "cleaners" that cause all sorts of problems.

    The report will let us know what software is running and should give a clue as to what is the cause of the slowness.
