I have completed the installation of xp mode on my windows 7 64-bit professional computer with the exception of the antivirus. I'm using a multi-user Trend Titanium Maximum Security 64-bit version on windows 7 and have tried to install the second copy from the xp mode as per the instructions that I am following. Due to the xp mode being a 32-bit system I tried loading the 32-bit Trend version but the install failed with a "incompatiable version of internet explorer" error message. Therefore due I load from the xp mode or thru the virual machine and/or install the 64-bit version for xp mode. I do have Internet Explorer access when in the xp mode.
I have a HP notebook with Windows 7 Ultimate installed I removed Avira anti virus and after that I installed Avast anti virus. Now the problems start right here, now installing Avast v6 the computer is restarting by it self . Tried Windows 64 b repair options but no solutions.
I recently attempted to install Anti-virus software on my Mom's HP laptop running Win 7 Home Premium. After that, the system would not boot. So I did a System Restore, and tried again thinking the Defrag I did after messed up the files. I then tried to install it again. Same result. At that point, I figured I would part ways with what I was using, AVG free 2013, and try Microsoft Internet Security Essentials. That ALSO produced same result. The only thing I could think of was that she had some kind of software conflict vying for the same space in the machine. She has a Norton online back up program installed and CC Cleaner, neither of which seem to be an antivirus.
I have a new Tosh laptop with Windows 7 Professional and want to get XP Mode installed and running. I have checked that the processor etc is OK with XP Mode so everything should be fine. However after I have downloaded the upgrade file from the Microsoft web site and run it there is no sign of XP MOde other than in Control Panel it is listed as a program and there is also a folder in program files called Windows XP Mode.
What do I need to do to get the XP Mode up and running?
It seems after hours of searching, I've learned that there's a problem with using XP Mode with AMD Bulldozer-based CPUs, like my FX-4170 (lucky me.) Microsoft has a hotfix, url...but after running it "successfully," XP Mode still will not install properly--I get an error message right at the end of the install process. I also ran Microsoft's virtualization checker, and my machine checks out as compatible.
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit in bootcamp on a MacBook Pro 13". I installed XP mode but the version that installed was XP 64 bit. I would like to install XP mode 32 bit so I can run Splinter Cell and a few other older games. Is there a way to load XP mode 32 bit under Windows 7 64 bit Pro?
Ok so I think one of my buddies messed up my windows vista cuz it will not boot windows anymore it goes to launch repair windows or launch windows normally. I tried launching repair but nothing happens same with launch windows normally. So I got a windows 7 install cd and I pressed f8 and windows loads files then I see the windows 7 logo saying starting windows but after that it goes to a black screen with the mouse on the screen. And it stays on that screen. I don't have the cd that came with my laptop, is there anything I can do to get windows running again?
I tried to install with my graphics card ATI ASUS EAH4350, but I couldn't install win 7. It stopped when "starting for first use" message. But I found solution to install Windows 7 in vga mode and it worked. Then again I put my graphics card and started win 7. It automatically installed vga driver and asked me to restart before I install ati catalyst driver from cd. After restarting when black screen comes before "win 7 welcome screen" it freezes with mouse pointer. It only starts in vga mode or safe mode. By the way I have win xp as well in c drive nad installed win 7 in h drive.
First thing, my build: Board: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 CPU: Core i7 870 @ 2,93 Ghz Graphic: Sapphire AMD Radeon 8670 Mushkin 2x2Gb Red Culvert Kit @ 1600Mhz CAS 6-7-7-18 Seagate 320 GB SATA II HDD + WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA III HDD Running: Windows 7 Ultimate Trying to install: Windows 7 Ultimate PSU: LC Power Arkangel 850W
I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on my 320 Gb HDD and everything is running ok. I just bought a WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA III disk and I want to install Windows 7 there, since the disk is faster. Here's what happens. When I connect the disk (it is connected GSATA 3 connectors), the disk will be recognized in bios and in Windows, but wont show under My Computer. I figured it must be some software bug so I formatted the disk in diskpart (clean format) and installed Windows 7 on it. At that time the GSATA 3 interface was set to IDE mode. It ran fine but after installing a big batch of Windows updates, the system hung at windows startup screen. After restoring the system to a previous state (i.e. before the updates), the system booted up normally.
I didn't know what was wrong so I formatted again, and this time I set the GSATA 3 to AHCI mode, since I realized this is a better option. When installing in AHCI mode, the computer expands the windows files but when the system is restarted, I get a BSOD (code Stop 0x000000B4 video driver failed to initialize) at Setup is updating registry settings. I really want to use the AHCI mode, but I cant get the system to work in IDE either so its really a bugger. I have no idea what could be causing this as the system works fine when using the other disk. Can the BSOD be caused by the HDD? Anyway, I really want to start using the disk. I have tried installing Windows 7 from a dvd as well as from a USB key.

Windows 7 wont install, I've tested the RAM I've tried it on my hard drive and SSD. I have installed windows XP and it works fine I am using the PC now.... Windows will install then it restarts and goes to the starting windows screen, turns black then restarts asks how I want to start windows. I tried safe mode I have updated BIOS I feel like I have tried everything and I can't get it to work. I have spent 15+ hours trying to figure this out and I am going insane because I cant get Windows 7 to work on my new PC.
Does anyone know how to restrict users from installing software in windows xp mode, as far as I can see you cannot restrict users from installing software but interested to see if anyone has managed to do this
Windows 7 refused to install an old program that was probably intended for Win98, so I am downloading XP Mode, but Im not sure if I can install something from a CD onto a virtual PC, this is the first time I do this.
I have an Epson multi function printer which I am trying to install in XP mode. The reason I am doing this is because the scanner wont work in Windows x64 bit, so I have tried to install it in XP mode. I went to the Epson website and got the x32 bit drivers and downloaded both the printer and scanner driver. The thing is though when I try to install them I get a message saying that I need to install the printer driver manually but I don't know what port it should go in.
i installed kaspersky internet security 32 bit on windows 7 64-bit It works fine and fast. But i want to know is it safe Should i shift to 64 bit version.
If it would be safe and virus free, then i dont want 64 bit version because it is heavy and i have only 2 gb of ram with i3 processor
my Action Center in windows7 keep telling me about my windows security is turn off seems ok after i turned it on. But when computer restart/reboot it happen again.
