There are two programs, you must install:

1 Windows6. 1 - KB958559 - x 64 or x 86 architecture that you run
Restart the system, and then install:
2 WindowsXPMode_en-we

Both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC can be downloaded from http://www.windows.com/business/downloads.
For more information about system requirements, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/virtual-pc

In addition, click Start, type: enable or disable windows features

Press enter on your keyboard

Make sure that Windows Virtual PC is checked

Click OK

Reboot your system when prompted.

  • My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional, and it ISN'T a hardware problem.

    My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional with or without data or audio in it. However, if I turn off the PC with a bootable CD/DVD in there, the PC recognize the media and initiate the CD when turned on. This confirms that the DVD/CD drive actually works, but for some stupid reason, Microsoft Windows 8 Professional will not recognize the same DVD/CD player it loaded since! Thanks again Microsoft for another product of shit. Now, how are you going to fix this? And how are we supposed to run things such as WordPad or paint, etc. I predict that Windows 8 will fall faster than Windows Me!

  • 5.1 surround Sound speaker system does not work in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition

    My problem is about the same as other users who cannot get their surround sound speaker system to work properly in Windows 7.

    I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 front, 2 rear, 1 for the centre).  Connection to the RealTek HD Audio embedded is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for the front and black for the rear.

    Test the sound in Control Panel-> windows sound produces a sound on all channels and RealTek HD Audio Manager at the same time, which is the desired configuration.

    However, different applications use different channels.  IE and Firefox use the front channels, VLC/MediaPlayer uses the back.  3D games (that is to say WoW) through all channels.  In each case the subwoofer does not work.

    I tried to download the latest drivers on the motherboard (Gigabyte) manufacturers site.  I even tried the supplied RealTek drivers (even if on the Web from RealTek site which is NOT recommended).  I tried to connect the connectors of the subwoofer to the different takes (reversed black and green).

    I have experimented with the settings in RealTek HD Audio Manager and control panel-> windows Sound.  Nothing works.

    These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly well on Windows XP.

    I have 2 questions:

    one) has anyone resolved their 5.1 & Windows 7 problem something that I have not yet tried?

    (b) when will Microsoft take this issue seriously?  All Microsoft provided answers just repeat what everyone

    has already tried.

    First disconnect the cable 3 (orange, green and black) then click on Control Panel configuration-hardware and sound - Real tek HD audio manager - central tick, subwoofer and rear pair, front left and right and filling of speaker

    Then click on advance device settings.

    Select "perform front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams simultaneously" and give ok

    Plug all three pins one by one and select the appropriate option in the popup windows.

    That's all.

    You give enough information for me to get this working.   My system runs Win 7 X 64 Home Premium.   When I select 5.1 sound capacity side my 550 x Logitech speakers are not recognized.  If I select 7.1, which is the capacity of my chip Realtek chipset, I can get the two outside are activated as a "rear" speakers and can push the test tones to each of the four surrounding speakers and the combination of Center/bass via the Realtek driver.

    Regarding the "front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams at the same time" worries... I can't find this option.  There are at least two suppliers of 'control of the interfaces' assets on my system.  One is provided by RealTek, the other by Microsoft.  The access roads to these interfaces is roundabout and confusing, to say the least.

    Some compromises are in order in my humble OPINION.  I have my Pandora one stream play in an acceptable way in my small study.  Many of the source of sounds streamed to me are recorded in stereo or mono, I find myself hitting the 'matrix' on my Logitech X 550 button quite frequently.  Sometimes a more recent piece is delivered which actually looks Ok without the decoder "matrix".

    What I would really like to be able to do is to "reconfigure on the fly" between the built in speakers on my Acer Z3731 system USB bar ' All in One ' and my external Logitech X 550 popular with the ability for the presentation of "5.1 surround sound" through three sons.  When I try your procedure, I don't get separate recognition of each thread, as it is trendy and often end up with its 2.1 being eliminated in my 5.1 speakers, because somehow Microsoft has re-recognized the built-in USB port based his bar instead of the three rear wires plugged into the outlets provided by the manufacturer of the system.

    If there was ever separate 'Speakers' and 'Realtek' icons in the UI on my system, speakers are long gone and I can't get back them.  All I see is the Realtek driver.  I would like to see the two icons 'Speakers' different, I could mark "integrated 2.1" and "5.1 external '", in addition to the driver Realtek.»  How can I get these to reappear?

    Can anyone suggest a way to have two different sets of "speakers" recognized and identified in the Microsoft UI in addition to the Realtek driver?  If I could get because of this, I think that the driver would let me 'set as default' one or the other speaker set, and I 'software switching' capable of letting me choose the external speakers or integrated sound bar offers the sound.

  • "Sleep" mode does not work after Windows Update

    After that a windows update 2 weeks ago my "mode" has been disabled. It is visible on the start menu, but is paler than other settings. I tried to restore my computer to before the update, but it says there is no date for the value. I've used the system restore and it worked fine.

  • Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control does not work in windows

    I have a Qosmio G30-194,
    first I had a problem with VGA, send it for repair, when she comes back, I noticed that the remote does not work on windows Media Center, while that in A / mode V work perfectly.

    I tried a full system recovery DVD restore, but nothing has changed, even, I installed Windows Vista with all its pilots.
    Nothing has changed too, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote that it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.

    Please advise me what to do, should I send it to the service center, or there is an easier solution.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    > first of all, I had a problem with VGA, send it for repair, when she comes back, I noticed that the remote does not work on windows Media Center, while that in A / mode V work perfectly.

    If you had a problem with the VGA chip then the whole motherboard has been replaced.
    Maybe it has something to do with your problem.

    Anyway, as far as I know you don t need any special drivers if you want to use the MCE Remote control. For the use of the remote control with Qosmio player you need to connect a USB infrared.

  • Reference software does not work under Windows 7

    Reference 9, a bibliographic database program, does not work under Windows 7.  It worked fine under XP.  Support of reference people were a great help and I'm stuck with the program so far.  The program opens and can be saved, but when you do a search, the first research work, but a second search will generate a message 'quote has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to sop work correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "Then you must click on the" close program"button to close the program and then re - start.

    Are you sure that all the prerequisites for the program have been installed (like the .net Framework or VC ++ runtime libraries)?

    In addition, is the version of the reference program tested by the people of tech reference that same as you use?

    Please make sure the version of the program made for Windows 7 is available, and if yes, you can use this version of Windows 7.

    A work around:

    If the program fails to work, even if all prerequisites have been installed, you can try to install the software in Windows XP Mode (not recommended, but we can not miss this in the case of legacy programs). You can take a look at the following links:
