XP to Win 7 Pro mode

Will be the XP of Windows 7 Pro mode. Let me use a printer which worked perfectly under XP, but for which no driver is available for Win 7?

Windows XP mode supports virtual printing as long as the printer driver supports Windows XP.

Print from a virtual machine

There are several methods that you can use to make a printer available to a virtual machine. You can use the methods are affected by the question of whether a printer driver is available for Windows 7 and the printer is a local USB printer or a network printer. To share a local USB printer

1 note
This method is appropriate when the printer driver is available for the Windows 7 host operating system and the guest operating system. Just do these steps once per virtual machine. This procedure assumes that you have checked that the printer works in the host operating system.
Make sure that the printer is turned on and that the printer driver is available for installation. For example, you can install the driver on the internet or on a CD.

Redirect the printer to the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click USB and then click on the name of Connecternom.

2. install the printer driver in the guest operating system. You can install the driver on the internet or on a CD.

3. release the printer of the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click USB and then click on the name to release.

4 restart the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, click Action, and then click on restart.

5. go in the desktop of the virtual machine and log in if necessary. (You will be connected automatically if you have saved the credentials.)

6. the printer will be available for use at both the host operating system and the guest operating system. To set up a printer for a virtual machine network

1. go in the desktop of the virtual machine and log in if necessary. (You will be connected automatically if you have saved the credentials.)

Note
The following steps are General, as well as the names of the buttons may differ from what is shown.

2. open the control panel and then open Printers.

3. click on add a printer. The Add Printer Wizard opens.

4. on the local page or network printer, select the network printer option and complete the wizard.

If you run Windows XP as a guest operating system, you must manually install the printer driver for each printer you want to use. The following steps describe this process. To install a printer driver in Windows XP

1. click on start and then click Printers and faxes.

2. under print jobs, click Add a printer. The Add Printer Wizard opens.

    Greetings,

    Please read this.

    You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

    You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

    I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

    You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

    1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

    2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

    3. repeat on Windows Update.

    See you soon!

  • can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

    I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

    My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

    Andrea

    First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

    Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

    I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

    If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

    Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

  • Wise Blackjack who worked on Win 95, Win XP Pro. Win 7 says its installer is not compatible and will not open it.

    I installed this on many machines from Win 95. I now running on several machines of Win XP Pro SP3.
    INSTALLATION of Sage BJ. EXE has a creation Date of the Sep 1998 05, size 24 KB. I tried every compatibility mode selection, WinXP SP3 via Win 95 - Win 7 don't like him for any of them. So I can't even at first base to install it now.
    Research online, I can't find clues for newer versions.
    It would seem that, if it was "mission critical", I will follow a path to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, so that I can install it "Win XP Mode". Maybe need arises for some other software, but not for running a game.

    The program was designed there is an earlier version of win years, cannot as such that it is supposed to operate an o/s, win7, what is fundimentally different from earlier versions of victory, even in compatibility modes.

    Maybe that is a 16-bit program, and you are using a version of win7 64-bit?

    Even the installation of Virtualwinxp is no guarantee it will install

  • 7_55 - Win 7 Pro - IE11 JRE.  Will not run the applet Java check

    JRE 7_55 on Win 7 Pro with IE 11.

    I am trying to unravel why, after a new installation of 7_55, I can't do the applet Java check to show the version.  With other elements on the page to check that I get a box that says, "the page requires Java... ' And an 'OK' to reject.  But I never have the version number to show.

    If it is a problem of IE settings to get IE to "mate up" with Java, would someone mind helping me determine what Internet Options must be power for the applet Java check properly see the/State of the current version.  After some research, I found some people who use a property setting Compatibility Mode on the JAVAWS and JP2LAUNCHER executables.  Unfortunately, on our systems, setting Compatibility Mode to "Windows NT" does not exist in this Panel.  It only comes down to Windows Vista.

    Due to production requirements, I can't go beyond 7_55.  Yes, we know the security implications, but the HQ said that our web applications will not work correctly.  And yet more hellish, that HQ tech support people say that I must ensure 7_55 'checks' (and prove) until they talk to me even on other issues of web application.  So, I'm kinda stuck at this point.  I uninstalled Java from the Windows Control Panel.  After a new installation of 7_55, I uninstalled it, this time using RevoUninstaller (who supposedly made a much more in-depth analysis of the system to pick the remaining bits.)  I went to ProgFiles > Java > javacpl and told to delete all temporary files.

    So please someone give me a hand with this thing check Java.

    Note: This forum has the appearance of being developer focused.  I would like to ask if I'm in the wrong forum, please point me in the right direction.

    Thank you.

    Ok. nothing of this forum the hearing answer comes from answers.microsoft.com forums.  The OP there had a slightly different problem, but the solution hinged on a key factor here.

    The key factor is that a system environment variable was not set.  Run these two commands from a high in Windows command prompt:

    .Jnlp Assoc = jnlpfile

    ftype jnlpfile = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaws.exe" - jnlp '%1' % *.

    These commands now Java Web Start Launcher will appear in the Windows dialog box "open with...". "When you try to change the association within the Windows shell.  When broken, this Java Web Start Launcher did not appear in this Panel, or you could bring it to appear, so any jnlp file was doomed to failure.

    Now, it works very well, thank you...!
