  • Slideshow for MAC and Windows compatibility

    When I create a slide show on WIndows 7, it is not on a MAC computer.  What can I use to create slideshows that are compatible on both systems?
    Thank you...

    I guess I do not understand your question... I thought
    you wanted to play the. WMV stuff on a MAC
    and in this case... the MAC will need updates.

    I guess you can try to convert the. WMV files to
    Apple's QuickTime. MOV format and perhaps the
    MAC should play without updates.

    The following freeware converter allows to convert the
    . WMV files to the. MOV format.

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

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...

  • BEFSR41 V2.1 and Windows 7/Vista compatibility

    I have a wired V2.1 BEFSR41 with 1.46.02 firmware.  He works very well with several varieties of W98SE, W2000 and XP machines over the years.

    When I installed VMWare a few years ago, I noticed that the Vista VM does not have to connect to the router.  As I was testing just local stuff, I don't bother to investigate or solve the problem.

    Now I have a new HP Windows 7 computer, and do not access when connected to the router.  The diagnosis think not that the cable is connected.

    When I plug the modem DSL directly in the box of W7, I connect to the internet.  In addition, I notice that when I plug the modem into the area of W7, there is some flashing lights on the adapter inside the box.

    However, when I plug the cable from the router (the same who normally works fine with XP machine) in the Windows 7 box, none of the LEDs on the network flash card.  This is probably an allusion to the fact that things do not work.

    I tried to disable the IPv6 protocol.  That did not work.  I have the latest firmware for the V2.1 according to the Linksys support site. I tried another cable.  I tried several resets since pinhole at the front of the router, several power cycles and reboots of the box of W7.

    So I guess the BEFSR41 V2.1 with 1.46.02 is not compatible with Vista and Windows 7.   Any ideas?

    What is the IP address you found on the Vista or Win7 computer when connected to the router...?

    Click on start > all programs > Accessories > guest... A black box will appear (command prompt)... In the command prompt window type ipconfig and press "Enter"... Look for Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection address IP, subnet mask, and default gateway...

    * Address IP should be 192.168.1.x, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.1.1 (assuming that your router is 192.168.1.1)...

    If you get mentioned above IP address, a subnet and address the gateway then you ping the gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... If she gives you ask has expired, and then disable any firewall, the security software on the computer...

    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press ENTER, if you get the request exceeded, then you must update the firmware on your router... If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press ENTER... If you get answers from Yahoo, then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...

    Setting of the browser settings: open an IE, click on tools > Internet Options, and then delete all files, cookies, history, forms... GoTo 'Connections', make sure that never Dial a connection is selected, click on network settings and make sure that all the options are unchecked... Once you are finished, click OK... Close IE and reopen...

    If yahoo expires, provide static DNS on your connection to the local network...

    Click the Start button > settings > Panel > Network Connections - right click on Local area connection icon and go to properties On the "Général" tab, select "TCP/IP Internet Protocol" and click on the properties button - select "Use the following DNS parameters" DNS preferred 4.2.2.2 DNS auxiliary - 4.2.2.3 > Click on the button Ok to save and click on 'Close' in the main window of properties... You should be able to go online...

    * If you found the 169.254.x.x IP address, try to reduce the speed of card (NIC) of the computer to 10 half-duplex Base and restart the computer and check again.

  • Mysterious FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows

    Hello.

    Mozilla has released, on 11 July, FF 5.0.1 to bring increased compatibility with Mac OS X Lion. You said:

    Please note: users on Windows and Linux do not need and will not see the updated offer.

    Yesterday, I noticed that FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows are available.

    However, I can't find any credible information on the Internet which is all about. "Notice of security for Firefox", "The Mozilla Foundation security advisories" and 'US-CERT current activity' pages did not mention of FF 5.0.1 for Linux and Windows at all.

    Could you please shed some light on this particular and still mysterious version?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

    Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

    I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

    If your computer is actually turn off and isn't just pass in "Sleep" or "Hibernation" during a scan, and this happens only when you run an analysis, then I must say that yes there is a problem with this security on this computer suite.

    Personally, I'm worried about the security suites.  They developed gradually bigger and bigger, which requires more system resources, and when they fit well with a particular operating system, they can interfere with its normal functions.  My preference is to use a good antivirus and Windows Firewall.

  • HP J4680 AiO: HP J4680 AiO and Windows 10

    Installed 10 Windows from Windows 7, installation went well, with only two points.

    HP is my printer/scanner HP J4680 AiO will print but not scan more solutions center program comes with a white screen.   I followed the instructions given to Brian in the previous post.

    -authorized temporary folder

    -installed v14.8.0 hp full feature software and drivers

    The printer works well (do not fax set up system have) but the scan does not work.   When I try to use the solution Center, I get a white screen.  Right-click on the screen and the compatibility test running can do nothing.

    System has worked in Win 7, but not win 10.

    Just to try a work-around, I tried running Win fax and scan and received the message... cannot communicate with the documents folder.

    Suggestions?

    Thanx

    Hi, after contacting Richard Bradley, HP VP, he put me incontact with a live support person.     Bottom line after trying to install the HP J4680 AIO we have determined that the drivers are not available in Windows 10, also that the application of scanning and Capture will not work effectively either.   Part of the J4680 printer will work but not the scanner.    After reviewing several other brands, I see that the same thing is happening with their current printers / alumni.   The HP representative said that new pilots could come out in October until January.

    So I decided to go back to windows 7 which was easy, there is an application in the control panel.  Once there I still had the same problems with the printer, so I deleted all the programs of HP printer, turned off the firewall and antivirus program (do this first, incidentally).  I had try to install and remove several times but after several hours was able to get the printer works as it should.

    I'll wait 10 windows drivers may be available.

    After writing to Mr. Bradley, a response was quick and the accompaniment of the victim has been most helpful and knowledgeable.  I had criticized HP and their market after service, but frankly, I was impressed by this gesture.

    Hi Newgirl11,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    We don't have much information about the compatibility of the game with Windows 7, you can see the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/enus/search.aspx?type=software&s=family%20feud

    To work around the problem, you can try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if it works very well.

    To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

    1. Open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.
    2. Follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    According to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, it seems that there is no updated information from Microsoft about the item store Photo 7 however I suggest you to download and install the item Photo 8 store on your computer as it is compatible with Windows 7.
