I have tried installing & uninstalling xp mode and vm 4 times with new downloads again and again to no avail. i have tried to install xp mode first and get the error 2203...I have installed vm first and then xp mode with the same result. Error 2203 on the web seems to be related to an installer problem yet I have installed many programs with no errors at all.
View 1 RepliesCan someone hit me with a link for manually installing the AHCI driver and switching the OS mode for the storage controller.
If I remember right, this is just putting the driver in /sys/drivers, running a script, and making a registry change. Then you reboot, change the motherboard setting, and then install IMSM after the OS comes back up. I don't remember the script, or if it was just a reg edit, etc.
I have a new notebook with Win 7 Ultimate and added the xp mode so I could run my older programs. I am experiencing an application error �General Protection Default in Module WIN87EM.DLL". I researched the problem online and downloaded a file WIN87EM.DLL and added to the software directory. I also performed the compatibility option. The problem continues. My software is a horse handicapping system that processes past performance data files. I am able to start the software with no problem and even model one race file with no problem. Whenever I try to bulk model say 30 race files to build my database is when the error comes up. The software runs great on my old computer with Win XP..

I'm not too sure on the motherboard So I formatted my WinXP drive, and tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate x86.Everything went fine until after the first reboot, "completing installation" it would just crash and everything froze, making me have to do a 5 sec forced shutdown.Then I tried again about 3 more times...Still same problem.I didn't get a photo, but here is an image I found on google images, similar to my situation, except for my laptop, it has stripes like that but the original image still is in the background.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe way I have things set up right now is I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit on my netbook and it's dualboot with Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (beta); what I want to do (and I'm not sure if this is even possible) is get my existing Windows 7 installation to work in VirtualBox inside Ubuntu.Basically what I want to do, is dualboot Windows 7 but also be able to run that same installation (with all programs and settings) in a virtual machine when in Ubuntu.Anyways, is this even possible? And if so, how do I do this?(currently I'm trying to figure it out myself but I haven't had any luck; although I have yet to try everything)And the point is to be able to still dualboot while at the same time being able to run the same installation in a VM if needed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought Windows 7 Ultimate which comes with the 32bit and 64bit dvd's. Right now I have the Windows 7 RC1 32bit installed but as we all know its gonna start acting up in March since it will start to expire.As the computer boots up with the dvd in the drive, all works fine until it starts asking for the dvd drivers. Yes, my drive is IDE. Not SATA. Do I really have to go buy a SATA cabled dvd drive to install windows 7? Second, is the fact that I have a 32 bit OS now, affecting the fact that it can't find the drivers? Is it because it's looking for 64 bit drivers when I have a 32 bit os now? I've already read up on this issue for the dvd drivers and it seems it was coming up alot even before the RTM versions and it seemed that redownloading an ISO was the solution aside from getting a SATA drive. But, I didn't download my copy. I have a real disc. I've already tried switching in the BIOS where my drive is set to RAID and moving it to IDE and then to the other option on there and no luck so far on getting it installed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavillion m9515y that I bought at a garage sale. This is a pretty meaty desktop (Quad processors, 8 GB of RAM) that was a little over a year old when I bought this past July. It had Vista freshly (re)installed on it when I bought it. Vista ran well enough, although it had its own issues, none of which were like these Hard-lock auto-reboots I keep getting. -original installed OS on the system? Vista, reinstalled from discs from the guy I bought it from
- an OEM or full retail version? 64-bit Ultimate that a friend who works in IT gave me.
- What is the age of system (hardware)? - 1.5-2 years old.
- What is the age of OS installation? About 1 month now, although I reinstalled it twice with other complications within one week before settling on the installation I have now.
I installed Windows 7 (with SP1 included) the first time in early Sept. and, after having done so, did an update of the drivers, most relevant were the network and display drivers. For some reason, after going into sleep mode the first time, it would not wake up. A hard reboot found that the wireless network card would not reconnect after doing this. Reading through some forums I found that others had a similar issue and had to reinstall, so I did. Also, I had installed overtop the preivious installation (which I thought I told it not to do), so reinstalling from scratch-scratch seemed like a good idea. I blew away partitions, recreated them, formatted and reinstalled, and after reinstalling most of the programs, I finally did the critical windows update, which, ironically, only crtically crippled the machine. Apparently it was related to the display driver (which later I corroborated - see below). Updating the NVidia GEForce SE driver to the latest 5-2011 driver caused it to simply hang at a black screen, never allowing a log on screen. I lived with this for several days--always rebooting into the last known good config--and decided to reinstall. (Mind you, I tried to do a Restore but it wouldn't let me for some reason, saying it may have something to do with an antivirus running, which I turned off and it still wouldn't do it.)So I reinstalled it a 3rd time about a month ago, resolving to do Windows Updates one at a time in order to 1) be able to roll it back just one update if it caused a problem and 2)discern which one/s were causing problems. Sure enough, the display driver recaused the black-screen login hang issue, so I rolled it back and chose not to reinstall it. As it is, I have the original 2009 driver. In a related issue, I believe the screen blacks out for several seconds on occasion due to this. I can live with that, but I can't live with the...
BSOD (Hard-lock auto-reboot), which happens every day or two. I have found it to lock up with some consistency when I'm browsing the internet (on mozilla or chrome) and then again sometimes when I'm listerning to music with media monkey. I just yesterday updated the sound card driver and it hasn't locked up while listening to music (yet). I'm at my wit's end. I do not want to reinstall again because I'm in graduate school for literature and don't have the time nor patience to deal with it (at least not during the quarter), which is why I've enlisted the help of the technical community. I used to work in IT back in the 90s and early 2000s, and got out of it precisely because I wasn't all that good at it. Of course, this knowledge has helped me somewhat in this process, at least knowing how to install, reinstall and update drivers, but I am need of the community.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit on my desktop. I reformatted the harddisk and booted to the DVD. I've already checked the compatibility and was previously running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. In the computer properties, it did say that the processor (AMD Athlon 64x2) is capable of running 64-bit. When I boot to the DVD, it goes through the process and seems like it is working, but after a few automatic reboots, it just black-screens. At that point, if I reboot, it just black-screens again it.I am able to put 32-bit back on it, and it installs without problems, but am trying to get it setup to run SharePoint dev tools. Is there something additional I need to do to install 64-bit that was running 32-bit?

RAM: 4GB GSkill Ripjaw X (2 x 2GB)
PSU: 450W Thermaltake PSU
HDD: 1TB Seagate 7200 HDD
ODD: Samsung DVD Drive
On both PCs after a successful clean Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, starts windows for the first time etc etc ask me to select windows update setting, goes into windows desktop then does a auto restart (proper logging off restart etc). At this point, after bios screen when it attempts to boot from hdd the PC just resets inself and goes back to POST, over and over again. I've tried using only one stick of ram, tried using VGA to do a clean install again instead of DVI, tried changing my RAM to a lower clock speed, every other bios setting is default. I also tried updating to the latest bios and again did a clean install (delete and create partition) even tried installing x86 instead of x64.
I was having problems with a computer with a win 7 ultimate installation. Ran Spinrite and found errors, they were corrected. When trying to reboot - something was wrong. So decided to do a clean install from the original disk. This is the same disk used for the previous clean install.Once disk started and accepted the terms of service choose Install - Custom and formatted the drive... really wanted a clean install. After the format chose next and the install seems to start normally. During the "Expand Windows Files"?, I think that is what it says the following error comes up...Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files for installation are available. 0x80070079.
