Run Windows 7 in xp mode
My new Dell a win 7 pro is installed. Some of my programs favorite older not loading, so I thought about downloading a file in Microsoft xp mode, think to my old programs can load and run. There are two files to choose, but nowhere on the Microsoft site could I find info on why there are two files, or how to choose a. I want software not excess, either the wrong file. Download checkbox allows for the two files to be downloaded (?). I have not any hint of the name of file that would help me to choose a file. I hope that someone in this forum Dell might know something that does not have Microsoft.
Running Windows 7 in xp mode to run older programs?
Art
Choose windowsxpmode_en - us.exe if you are using an English version of Windows, or another or not.
Choose Windows6. 1 - kb958559 - x 86 - refreshpkg.msu if you are running a 32-bit operating system and the other for a 64 bit OS.
Installation instructions seem completely simple for me, but let me know if you need more assistance.

need to run windows in safe mode with network to have browserws working properly. using IE and Firefox. Web site fisting comes in following correctly sites just waiting for the website tab help
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.

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! :)

You can understand that I want to change my office from Wired to Wireless and really to have the adapter installed in the back of my Office Wireless (with dual band antennas). The Linksys device is not yet recognized because I'm running Windows 7 while trying to install the drivers which are only Windows XP and previous versions. Is it possible to USE the Windows 7 compatibility mode > XP and still have a stable system when I'm not using the adapter. ? Really appreciate the help of someone who can advise me.
Thank you all very much,

Hi Roger
The Compatibility Mode works with hardware or software drivers. This mode is less reliable when installing the hardware drivers that it is during the installation of software.
If Compatibility Mode fails, your only option would be to check with the support of Linksys.

Hello
I have multiple copies of Windows 7 Pro x 64. Click with the right button on a program and select 'Properties' and then click on the Compatibility tab, most of them under "run this program in compatibility mode for" a ton of options going all the way back to windows 98. Several have only options for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. I need "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" as an option on all computers. I don't see where you install. My research are presented only how to install a Windows XP virtual machine, I must separate environment, I need this option so that the program works on computers (it can change the routing table, and makes to the virtual machine is not useful).
What must be installed to the "Windows XP (Service Pack 3) option appear?
Thank you
Charlie
If the program in question can be run in compatibility for a specific version of the operating system, then the option will appear in the drop-down list.
Not all programs can be run in compatibility for all versions.

I've been running Windows 10 on my iMac via Boot Camp. I just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11 to 10.11.5. I don't know if it was because of this upgrade that made me not be able to return to Windows. In the windows startup disk, my windows HD and OS X HD icons are all grayed out. So, I can't select which one to be my default startup Mode of the disc. Help, please!

Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?
most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons
When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.
The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...
You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.
It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.

Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)
Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.
It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).
Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"
I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.
I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »
I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).
I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.
Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.
(there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)
Thank you
