  • How do you remove 2d copy of window XP Pro in bootcamp without damaging original XP Pro and data?

    That mistake has nothing to do with that said vs "I copied it", "I moved it" and entry into the library of Virtual Machine that shows the error, because there is no longer the path can be removed from the library Virtual Machine.  CTRL-click on the entry for the one who does not work, then select Remove.

    I exempt backup capsal Virtial Machine time under Documents.

    It seems to work.

    I can I have copied in the wrong place because you can't see the file under user/bill/document/virtual machine/folder.

    Not sure if thi is a problem.

    Well, if you are exempted from a folder and package kidnapped virtual is not in this folder, then of course, it is a problem because the packaging of the VM get backed up by Time Machine then I suggest that you correct the situation.

    Under Capssule time I deleted backup for Fusion App in your applications because I assume that the large 27 GB file is there.

    If not, where should I go to stop the time Capsule this large file to backup every hour.

    Why the hell you would make such an assumption!  The beam of Fusion.app from VMware is separate and outside the .vmwarevm Package and files/folders are backed up by using the same relative paths because they reside on the Macintosh hard drive.  The only way that a real Virtual Machine you created would be inside the VMware Fusion.app Bundle is if you put unfairly here.  All you have to do the Virtual Machine library is ctrl - click on the target of the Virtual Machine and select Show in Finder and the ctrl + click the target Virtual Machine package and select information and look where he is.  The last part of what I just said is nothing more basic file management.

    Still no undersyand why it works without Bootcamp and be applied to run the two without having to reboot to move backward. I question the manual I was for level 1 and updated version to version 2 have to be diferent.

    You don't need to use Boot Camp in the VMware Fusion installation order and create normal file based on Virtual Machines.  Boot Camp is part of OS X 10.5 and later versions and is independent and has nothing to do with VMware Fusion, except if you also want to start the native Windows Installer on the Boot Camp partition in a Machine virtual Raw disk.  Take a look at choose settings of VM of law because it might help you understand a little more.

    original title: Windows 7 Pro x 64 BSOD constantly on sleep (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE) 0x1000009f

    It is said in the BlueScreenView of the dump file does this have to do with ntoskrnl.exe, but I know that it's a system file, up what should I do?

    This happened just on a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, since I just went a full underhaul of the recovery of a file system dead (Recover My Files FTW) files. Currently, the operating system is installed on a 100 GB SSD (a - DATA), which works very well, except for the fact I have constant BSOD when I sleep and put my computer on standby as well...

    Now I'm going to stop using the "sleep mode" and just close according to the guidelines of the standard, but I remember until after you have installed the fix 977178 he solved this problem. This time, it is not the case.

    I don't really know how to attach the file, but I can post screenshots of my BlueScreenView if it helps everything.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

    We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

  • Palm TX 32 bit Windows 7 Pro of XP Update: use XP mode? Or Win 7?

    I'm really good at making fatal mistakes with technology and my Palm is too critical to risk, so I bought a portable 32-bit, Windows 7 pro and XP mode installed.

    I've scoured the forums, but all I can find are problems/solutions with 64 bit (which is what scares me in the first place, of course).

    First of all, I should install in XP mode?  Or install Win 7 on a 32-bit computer will go smoothly?

    Secondly, can I use my original disc with the 4.2 version of Palm Desktop?

    Finally, for my peace of mind, you kindly check my checklist of errors, omissions or dangerous areas.

    (1) synch the device from Palm desktop

    (2) backup on my SDCard with NVBackup

    (3) open the XP mode - or do not open XP mode as you recommend

    (4) install Palm desktop (disc or download that recommend)

    (5) enter the same username as on the device / xp computers

    (6) change in Organizer substitute Office

    (7) with the sync cable. Make tea. Be calm.

    (8) check data on handheld and the desktop to find errors.

    (9) when somewhat confident everything goes well, return led to synchronize except for stays of backup as handheld overrides desktop. (not sure why, but it's the default I guess.)

    Thank you

    Off the hook

    SUCCESS!

    Thank you all very much. I danced around the kitchen.

    I had a few problems, and that means a question.

    After installation I plugged the cable in and upward jumped a box "Installing the driver software" telling me "software device driver was not installed successfully. I thought it was over, and that's my question. What does that mean? Because the next thing that happened, thought I had nothing to lose but hope, I tried a synch, and incredibly, it worked. I made a small change in the calendar and it synchronized at the back of the unit.

    He also tells me there is a problem with the quick installation then took me to do nothing.

    In addition, in case it might help someone, disable UAC in Win7 is slightly different from that of Vista. Go to "edit your user account settings" and set the cursor to "Don't warn.  At this time, I went on the internet for security. And it's a little annoying, because after that you have to restart the computer. And when HotSync is done, you go back to the control panel and restart and then restart.

    WyreNut, I smiled when I saw your post.  I always assumes that the volunteers on the technology forums (which, in a just world, would be paid buckets of moolah for their help) are early and that you would be all Win8 (and the curse, I suppose). But I guess that help you here because if something works (such as Palm) why spend.

    I kudo has you all and would buy you champagne if I could.

    Confused, but less.

  • EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

    Greetings!

    I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

    I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

    I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

    The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

    The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

    I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

    Any advice would be welcome!

    (the location is the South Africa)

    NoKillBill

    The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

    And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

    Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

    It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • Downgrade to windows 7 Windows 8 pro Hp Envy dv6-1090ee

    I recently bought a new Hp dv6-1090ee envy which has windows 7 preinstalled. I used the offer to upgrade to windows 8 pro for $ 14.99, but I did not like the new interface of windows 8 and I would go down to my original windows 7 with the factory settings.

    I checked the multiple sources in the best way and more confused when I started has finished. I really hope I can get the best solution here or at least performed on the best site where I could follow the appropriate directions.

    Some useful information:

    I have upgraded to windows 8 pro and did not have a facility clean (I still have a windows.old folder).

    I don't have a recovery disc for my windows 7.

    I don't remember the version of windows 7, I had.

    I have an old windows 7 installation disc, but I don't know the product key provided for windows 7 with the laptop.

    I just wanted to say that I could solve my problem with a very simple method. I contacted HP support through my HP support assistant at home and the solution was much easier than I anticipated.

    Since I've only updated, I still had the windows.old folder. so, I followed the following procedure:

    1 restart my pc.

    2. press F11 before that windows 8 has begun.

    3. the Recovery Manager open.

    4. I chose to restore the computer to factory without backup (since I had already backed up all my data on a Portable hard drive previously).

    5. the Installer started and the computer was still brand new.

    Everything worked well. Thank you HP support.

    It is a solution to my personal problem and on my model, I don't know if it works on all new HP laptops. My best advice for anyone with a problem is to contact HP support through HP support assistant, it is a very useful tool.
