That was a mouthful. I finally corrected my Tyan dual opteron bios with 4 gigs memory and reinstalled on a raid 5 (Tyan thunder 2885 with highpoint raid card and a bunch of raptors ) five raptures windows xp 64 and a virtual machine using virtual 2007 I think 64 bit with xp 32 installed. This set up sure beats the dual booting stuff. I have been at it thru all the betas in xp 64 and then Vista. I was able to get almost everything to work on the xp 64, I was not able to get a Microtek 5700 installed on the 64 bit machine but was able to install on another net worked machine and access from the 32 bit virtual machine that was cool. No such luck wi…

Did anyone else have a strange install experience with today's Windows Update "Search 4.0 for Windows Vista x64-based Systems (KB940157)?" After the required reboot, my computer remained active in the config screen mode reading "Updating - 97% - Do not turn off your computer" for about 5 hours until I couldn't wait any longer and just turned it off and restarted. All seems fine now and Windows reports the update as successful - but how does one test for this? I realize that the new search engine has to index all files which takes time, but I thought this was done in the background while Windows functioned normally (not pre-boot). I do have many hard disks,…

I have a laptop connected to a Sony projector and attempted to show an AVI file from the laptop using Windows Media Player. I can see the Windows Media Player session on both my laptop and the projection screen, but I can not see the AVI in the WMP display on the projection screen. I press the play button and the applications scroll bar at the bottom indicating that the video is playing is moving. The AVI file is playing on my laptop, but WMP display section is black. I have checked the video setting to ensure that AVI files are valid formats. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hello to all: The Windows 95 Explore From Here power toy works for the 64-bit Windows explorer as downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q168113 on Windows XP x64.

Send to Mail command doesn't work.

I'm using Microsoft Office 2007 on a machine running Windows XP Professional x64. I would like to be able to right click on a file, select "send to mail recipient", and have windows open an Outlook message with the file attached. I selected Microsoft Outlook as my default email client, but Windows kept opening Outlook Express instead. I then used the "Add/Remove Windows Compoents" function in control panel to uninstall Outlook Express. Now when I try using the "send to mail recipient" comman, nothing happens. I found an article online that said something about outlook not being compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows Explorer, but it wasn't clea…

Freezing when running programs and other things
by Guest Rob- 3 replies
- 328 views
Ok... so i just installed windows vista ultimate 64 bit version and after updating it all the way, it still freezes when the computer has to process alot of data, e.g. playing a game. Installing a game is a gamble because i hope that it doesnt freeze in the middle of it. the same thing happens when i try to download big files and also when i transfer data to an external hard drive. so basically, if i run a big program or transfer a lot of data, it freezes or just restarts the computer. if anybody can help that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Cisco Security Agent does not run on Vista 64
by Guest Dave W- 3 replies
- 327 views
My company depends on Cisco Security Agent (CSA). The current version supports Vista but not Vista 64. The reason Cisco gives is that Microsoft will not share enough information to allow Cisco to create a version of CSA that works on Vista 64. So Cisco blames Microsoft. But, if we deploy Vista, it will be on new PC's. New PC's come with 64-bit OS capable CPU's. But we depend on CSA, so ultimately, the blame for not being able to deploy Vista is Microsoft's fault (according the Cisco). Will Microsoft ever do anything to remedy this situation?

Hello! I've installed 64-bit Vista SP1 on PC with motherboard ASUS M2V: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1171&l1=3&l2=101&l3=305 OS works OK (PC has 3GB of DDR2), but there are two problems: 1) Both Nero 7.11.10 and Nero 8.3.6 do not recognize SATA optical drive (Optiarc AD-7173S) which is connected to the VIA Serial ATA controller (0591). I can normally copy data from it. It also works OK on dual boot Windows XP SP3. BTW, I've also installed ImgBurn and when starting it returns: I/O Error! Device [0:0:0] (F:) (ATA) CDB: 12 00 00 00 60 00 Interpretation: Inquiry Reason: The parameter is incorrect. I…

Some may recall the issue I had some time ago with the Calendar Gadget. Monday was the first day of the week instead of the usual Sunday, in my Spanish (Argentina) localized Vista x64. After the usual 2nd Tuesday monthly MSFT updates now Sunday - to my joy - is the first day of the week! I have checked this in other Vista installations where Sunday is also back to where it belongs. :) Carlos

Vista x64 SP1 installed in partition C:, D: partition for data, backups, etc. RAID0, running on a jmicron chipset controller, gigabyte mobo #GA-MA790FX-DS5 Problem: Partition D: randomly starts in read-only mode not allowing any write operation on it.

Confused by 32 bit vs 64 bit driver info
by Guest Baysider- 13 replies
- 623 views
In the Vista 64 bit FAQ's on the MS "Help and How-to", it unequivocally states that 64 bit drivers are required for all hardware running on a 64 bit version of Windows. I just purchased a machine with Vista Home premium (64-bit). I separately purchased a wireless adapter card (Linksys WMP300N) that is (a) a 32-bit device according to the mfg spec sheet, (b) has no 64-bit driver that I can find to download, and © is listed as Vista x64 compatible on the Windows Logo'd Product List. These bits of info don't add up. Can someone please explain. Also, do you think the WMP300N is going to work with my x64 Vista?

I am desperate to find out an exact recipe returning ODBC functionality to my new Vista 64 computer. I have hundreds of data management scripts all using ODBC to grab data from Access, Excel, and Oracle files for analysis in Stata or SAS. But in Vista 64, I only see a driver for SQL. I was using XP x64 in my old computer, and I had a list of drivers a yard long that included all my data sources in several languages. I need simple explicit directions to some file I can download from Microsoft that will install all the needed ODBC drivers and get my data connections back. On forums like this, I see bits and pieces of an answer, but mostly a lot of anger over this iss…

Alt+Tab
by Guest Alex Clark- 1 reply
- 296 views
Hi all, I'm running XP Pro 64bit SP2, and I've noticed a weird issue with Alt+Tab. Sometimes when I'm alternating between two applications, and I have (for example) a half dozen windows open in total, XP will randomly pick a completely different window to switch to instead of letting me alternate back and forth. Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't found any comparable experiences during a bit of Googling, so it's hard to tell if there's even a patch available. Gets rather frustrating after a while though! TIA, Alex

Hello, In a 64 bit windows registry, there are 2 nodes that expand the %programfiles% environment variable. hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion programfilespath = %programfiles% programfilesdir = c:\program files hkey_local_machine\software\wow6432node\microsoft\windows \currentversion programfilespath = %programfiles% programfilesdir = c:\program files (x86) So when a 32 bit process reads the %programfiles% it reads it as c: \program files (x86) and when a 64 bit process reads the %programfiles% it reads it as c: \program files --------------------------------------------- My question is, is it possible to define anoth…
