I have an application with a setup.ini file that is causing the Application Compatibility Service to flip out when I try to install it. I edited the setup.ini file to include the following (which is probably incorrect):
[Win7]
MajorVer=6
MinorVer=1
MinorVerMax=2
BuildNo=7000
PlatformId=2
If anyone has an idea of how to correctly edit this file so that Windows 7 knows there are no compatibility issues, it would be much appreciated.
I was always asking myself why microsoft hasn't included the option to press a key at boot menu and edit the boot parameters on-the-fly. Well, maybe it was included in Vista and I didn't know...but I accidentally found that:
If you press the F10 key while booting Windows 7 (either at boot menu or before) you get the option to edit the boot parameters:
You can edit the boot line , similar to XP's boot.ini way :
e.g.
/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN
It's strange, cause it's not mentioned anywhere at the boot menu, that F10 key lets you edit the boot parameters!
I have a weird problem when I want to enter my IPs parameters.
In the "Network Lan Properties" of my network card, when I select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPV4)" the button "Properties" is disable thus I can't enter the IP address, Netmask and Gateway. I tried to disable IPV6 and reboot but it went without any success.
I simply want to add the -nointro parameter to my BioShock game shortcut.
I go to the shortcut, then properties, but where I think it should be added, similar to what XP looks like, is greyed out (the word "BioShock").
What do I need to do? I'm new to Windows 7, coming from XP.
I have a peculiar issue with task scheduler in Windows 7. I have programatically added a task specifying certain parameters ( set the parameters using ITask::SetParameters ()). Then I modified the parameters again with new value.When I changed the parameters using ITask::SetParameters (), It returns S_OK, I save it using IPersistFile::Save(). It is also returning S_OK.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to copy the application parameters in the regedit file in XP, then copy them to the Windows 7 regedit file, in order not to have to install all the applications over again.
Is this possible?
WBADMIN command line parameters provides a possibility to create batch files running advanced, automated backup.But, I need a scheduled task for backup of the entire system image. It seems this is not possible, and that the only way to create a system image backup is by using the GUI?/Per What I'm looking for i the Windows 7 equivalent to the Windows Server 2008 "wbadmin start systemstatebackup" command line parameter.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been getting this error message:"exception processing message parameters 0xc000007FEFC3E718C"every time I shut down or log off, accompanied by "Bad Image" messages from time to time, usually concerning davhlpr.dll. I've run the System File Checker three times, and each time it returns an error saying davhlpr.dll is corrupt and it can't restore it from the file store. I tried replacing davhlpr.dll with a copy I downloaded - once in Safe Mode and after setting the proper authorizations -, but each time I run the System File Checker it still shows davhlpr.dll as corrupt and says it can't replace it. By the way, I get the same "exception processing message" error when logging off in Safe Mode and from a brand-new account I created.This is a fully updated, recent install of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. It seems to have started happening after I tried a couple of dialog-box enchancement utilities. But I've uninstalled everything I'd installed from before it started happening.

Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.I restart, and the cycle continues. This happens whether I try to boot normally or in safe modeI've got no CD-drive attached to it, so I'm not sure what I can do to break this error cycle.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:
"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."
I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my notebook. It currently has Vista and the computer will not boot up at all. It will not let me go into safe mode, or even system recovery. The memory and hard drive are both fine (based on the tests.) Whenever it boots from the Windows 7 disc it goes to "Setup is starting." and just hangs there. I've let it sit for about 40 mins and I really doubt it needs more time. I've searched on this a little but none of the solutions seem to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two SATA hard drives. I was poking around in the BIOS yesterday and noticed that they were setup IDE instead of AHCI. I am not sure what either does and did not want to change anything without asking. When I first got my PC, it had XP installed, so I am thinking that is why IDE is set. Do I need to change it to AHCI? I am not having any problems. Would it be of any great advantage to change it? I understand that after the OS is installed, it is a problem to switch to AHCI.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently bought my new computer, and it came with two RealSSD C300 256 GB. I want to set up raid 0 to have one drive with 512 GB.

I already have it on RAID mode, but whenever the Marvel screen appears, i already tried pressing CTRL M, CTRL R, CTRL I, Space, none of those seem to work.
I own the Maximus IV Extreme motherboard.
I bought a 2nd 580 3GB GPU fitted it in no probs, and apart from trying to figure out which DVI slot runs the display (for some reason it wasnt the original) - got SLi up and running. However the first thing I did was to benchmark it with the "Heaven" demo - it ran (with audio) and then spluttered and crashed.Since then I have no sound on the PC... apart from via the TVThe PC is hooked up to a hi-fi usually via line-out 3.5mm jack. Since the upgrade this wont work at all. Sound only comes via the option of the TV in audio settings. Ive disabled that, and saw "speakers" were not plugged in (when they were). After much tooing and froing I googled this and found it may be a Realtek setting. I enabled "front ports" via Realtex and the speaker icon re-appeared, I tested the unit - NO SOUND!! However the green "level" bars show up for both back panel and front panel but nothing is heard. Ive tried a different set of speakers, different cable and different OS but same issue.
Ive tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers thinking it could be their HD Definition Audio driver, also went into Nvidia control panel and saw an option for the GPUs audio to be turned off - still nothing. Tried disabling onboard audio via BIOS - still nothing.Tested my hi-fi - works fine.Its my worry that something may have borked up on the motherboard (Rampage 4 Extreme)
Remember when you installed Windows 7, there was that one setup thing that asked you for the time, your username, and password?Ok so my friend wanted me to upgrade his HP laptop to Windows 7, since he originally had the you-know-is-junk version of windows (Vista).I was able to install all of the software, but what I want to know is if there's a way to run that configuration setup thing again.

So i just build my computer.....well upgraded from quad core 9550 to core i7 now with my old computer, i was thinking of making that a data server, and having my main rig just os and applications and having the serve on a 2 gig connection to the network does that seem feasible. I have 4 1tb hard drives i wanted to do them in a raid 5 however the Intel controller on the x58 chipset will not let me do non boot raid setup so i can only get 2tb max in that setup.
The i know on board raid isn't the best but raid controller cards are expensive. I will basically use this server for all my data, website creation movies, and music store. i have my os on a raid 0 2x 300gb veloci raptor. Let me know what your ideas are.
How to set up my 120 GB SSD as just my OS Drive then use my 1 TB and my 750 and another 750 for data etc. So I have backed up all my data from my current install (right now I am running my OS from the 1 tb and the SSD isn't even being used yet. I just wanted to know the best way to set it up so I can use the SSD JUST FOR THE OS and then install programs and steam etc in the 1 TB (cuz i got at least 500 GB of games from steam). Can I just install the OS on the SSD then format my 1 TB and make 3 folders Users, Program Files and Program Files (x86), and then install programs in to the appropriate folders?
