Hi!

I tried installing Mac OS 10.6 on HP Pavilion DV6 but before starting the setup menu, I came across a message that says “You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button.

The thing is, I was able to install it once on a computer but now I can’t do it on a laptop. I’m including in this message the specs of my system that you may use it for further reference RAM:6GB; CPU: Intel Core i5 2.53; VGA: 1G ATI.

I really hope you’ll be able to help me.

Thank you.

Hi! I have a problem with the VMware of my computer. A guest user accidentally disabled it and now I keep on getting error messages. I tried restarting it and turning it off but it didn’t yield any positive results. I already tried the following—I disabled all of what I thought to be unnecessary hardware; I turned off the USB Legacy support in BIOS; I checked the CPU virtualization settings in BIOS and found nothing explicit; I checked every setting of the virtual machine; I have encountered the message saying “cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101"; I tried pre-installing five versions of...

Hi there! I am having a little trouble with my Intel Mac Pro. It used to work just fine until I installed two additional hard drives. The thing is only one of the two new drivers is visible. It is actually in the Disk Utility and from there I could see, repair, and verify it but it doesn’t seem to appear in the Finder. I can even access the programs in it as long as I course it through Disk Utility and not the Finder. I also noticed that this particular hard driver is mounted and I could actually...

Hello! I recently installed parallels in my Mac and my computer running on Windows 7. Now, I need to install an application that requires NET Framework. While I tried downloading the NET Framework from the Microsoft’s website but I keeps on getting the error message saying “C:UsersAdministratorAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE55SOFW5UAdotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". Do any of you know how to solve this issue? I really need your help. Thank you.

Hi there! 

I am having trouble with my computer and I am hoping you will be able to help me. I am running Windows 7 and the problem is, after five minutes of being idle, it would suddenly hang. 

I tried disabling all the power-saving settings, ran the computer in standby mode, hibernated it, and I even tinkered with the task scheduler, but none of these efforts worked. Whenever my computer would be idle for a while, it would freeze but it would eventually work again after five minutes.

I already tried looking for answers in Google but none of my attempts...

Hello there! My computer is running Windows 7 Basic and I used to run Microsoft Office 2007 in my computer until I tried installing Microsoft Office 2010. After quite some time, I uninstalled the 2010 version so that I could reinstall version 2007 back. The problem is it turned out that I have erased both versions and now I don’t have any Microsoft Office running in my computer. Is there a way for me to retrieve my MS Office 2007? I also want to know if it is possible for me to install both MS Office 2007 and 2010...

Hello! I am currently running Windows 7 machine and I wanted to make it look like a Mac. The problem is that I cannot undo the changes. I managed to remove the Snow Transformation Pack (STP) though the computer still shows the Mac OSX background. In fact, the login screen and even the appearance of the computer still look like a Mac, including the icons. I was not able to create a restore point and now I cannot risk an uncertain restoration or reformatting. I hope somebody can explain how I could figure this out. Thank you in advance.

Hi there! I have a concern about installing Windows 8 in the Virtual Machine. I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate in 32-bit but I have been trying to download the virtual machine in Windows 8.

I was able to download Windows Virtual PC so I tried installing it first. Upon trying, my screen went blue with an error message saying “HAL Initiation Failure.’ As such, I tried installing VM Virtual Box instead. Unfortunately, it suddenly hung up as it reached 19% of the file unpacking and then it crashed.

I tried doing it again but it crashed when it reached...

Hi there! I am having a problem connecting my laptop to the television using an HDMI cable. I was actually able to do it before but now it has stopped working. Whenever I connect the laptop to the TV using the HDMI cable, the laptop screen would just go blank like it isn’t receiving signal; the TV would not respond either. I tried disconnecting the cable but the laptop screen would still remain blank and I would have to keep on turning it ON and OFF just so it would start again. I tried updating my drivers but I...
