[Q]Anti-viruses incompatible with Windows Developer Preview ? - Windows 8 General

I know that AVs support Windows and all , but then AVG gives me an MSI engine error during installation and Avast gave me a BSoD .
Any ideas ? I would go for anything BUT Windows AVs .

Windows 8 has it's own background antivirus software, so unless you're a total noob you should really have no reason to worry.

LOL sorry for being a noob
I totally didn't know that Windows 8 came with an AV .

I got Microsoft Security Essentials working. Course its Microsoft so it should be compatible.

a challenge for developpers

Could anyone of you try to install Windows 7 (for PC) on a MicroSDHC (I don't have one with 16 or 32GB so I can't try) and try to boot it (using multiboot with WinMo 6.5) on HTC HD2?
This experience must sho us if:
- HTC HD2 can run Windows 7 (lagging or not)
- Windows 7 can recognize our 480x800 screen resolutions
- Windows 7 can use our GPS
- Windows 7 can recognize and use our accelerometer
- Windows 7 can use our phone for calling
- HTC HD2 has the specifications to run Windows 7 (is Snapdragon efficient?)
- etc...
If it works, maybe my phone will use Windows 7 instead of WinMo7...

Search for Bochs, you can get windows 95 to run on the HD2. Unusable, but it runs...
ok this is serious and possible, if you came here only to write stupid things you can go on iPhone.com... for others who are interested you can stay... after all the Wii launched Win95, an HD2 launched Win95, etc... Why an HD2 could not launch Win7?
Maybe it could, but that wouldn't make it any close to being useable. x86 PC and ARM are different architectures, so emulation is needed to run a PC OS on an ARM device like the HD2... which is awfully slow.
Imagine taking your 10-15 year old PC and try to run win7 on it.

I can't help the way i look, i've got a cold at the moment if you don't mind.
Seriously though, I've been here a long time and that was a stupid question, especially for your first post. You spent more time writing it than you did on ANY type of research or use of common sense. You might as well asked if you could install it on a nokia (or iphone).
I honestly thought he ment win phone 7 series at first.
You want to run the latest win OS on your phone...
Everything would be so small!
first i don't have iPhone nor Nokia (I really dislike those two)...
Then, yes i want to try windows Seven to try it on a capacitive screen, to see if it could adapt on a WVGA screen, etc... I only want to see if it is possible, not to use everyday... someone installed ubuntu on his phone, someone installed Windows 95 on his wii, ... It could be funny to see it running...
Finally johnk1973, someone said in the past "when you don't know something... just shut up!!!" so maybe you could think about this...

If you EVER find anyone installing and running windows 7 on their HD2 then get back in contact, maybe then you can imply you know more than me..

Serious question? Really? Okay. Here's a serious answer. No. It will not work. Totally forget about it - 100% forget about it.
Incidentally, you're being ridiculously rude for a noob. Chill out and stop insulting people. Just because someone offends you by not being serious, doesn't mean it's okay for you to name-call back at them.
Finally, I read some very good advice somewhere...

Maybe you should take that advice before asking dumb questions that turn into trollfests and flamewars.

I agree!!! Some things are possible, while others....let's just say impossible xD
johncmolyneux you're acting like johnk1973... you say no without saying why... maybe 'cause you don't know either... so don't post here, you're acting for nothing... your "serious" answer is not serious...
johnk1973 i didn't say that i know more, i said if tou don't know don't fill this topic...
At the last look nearly 600 different people have viewed this thread and not one person has said you can install Windows 7 on a HD2. Only one person said it's possible if someone was to write an emulation program to do it, and he's right but there is no such program. This would be a massive task and pointless as the processor in the HD2 is not capable of running both the emulation and Windows 7 at the same time, maybe in 10 years (? anyone). Don't confuse the 1Ghz processor in the HD2 as being ANYTHING close to a 1Ghz in a PC.

Can you install Windows Mobile on a HTC Magic ?

When I had a winmo device I was using the Haret method to run Android on It because I hated winmo and I always will...
Maybe you should sell your htc Magic and get the htc HD1.

Because It's better than the total rubbish that is android, thats why. I also want Winmo on my mt3g. I can't stand Android, but I can't afford a new phone.
In that case, I'd try your local Craigslist to see if anyone is willing to trade you.

Someone made dreamscene working on Windows 8

BUMP! I'd really appreciate it if this would somehow work... :victory:
you would think windows would support live wallpapers natively by now, and just disable the feature on lower end computers like they did with aero glas and windows 7. would make allot of users happy
Here you go-- http://www.animated-wallpaper.com/Video-Wallpaper/
Only trial but when it asks you to buy it after trial it will say something like buy with trial play.
Trial play allows you to complete an offer which requires about $2 and then you get the software instead of paying $20 directly for the Video Wallpaper.
IT DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 8!
Such a misleading title... I came here expecting a working method, but just found a question :/ Perhaps add a question tag or a question mark?

The very basic reason for this issue is the support for the flash as the version of dreamscene on windows 8 currently doesn't works on the binaries of the new flash player there are several tools available in the name of DREAMSCENE ENABLER to enable compatibility of the new flash

No, we cannot do it! it's a fake video, just change the bootanimation and a program that seems a windows interface, that's all.
I ran windows on this phone. I ran windows xp and 95 its very very slow and work on this isn't good. Very lag.
You can't install windows on gt540 but You can run emulator.
Just google "win95 for androi" and You will find it.
You have also tutorials on youtube, just search : "how to run and install windows 95 0n android"
I hope I helped

Papu Singh using lg gt540
Porting Windows isn't possible (normal Windows versions because of different CPU architecture, x86 vs ARM).
The WindowsPhone also is impossible to port because of LG GT540 hardware (for example ARMv6 CPU instead ARMv7).
If you want your GT540 to look (in terms of software) to look as close to WindowsPhone8 as it's possible, use for example launcher called "Windows8 Launcher" from Play Store.
How funny r u :banghead:
