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.

Hello Everyone I have a problem I have a machine with XP X64 installed and Adaptec SAS 4800 HA installed but due to fact that fan has got noisy and I mean VERY noisy and even thou the card is still under warranty. Adaptec in Australia don't want to help me. OK I got me a SAS 48300 which does not have a fan, heres the problem because my motherboard board only have one pci-x slot which means I can only have one card in the machine at a time How do I install the drivers. You see the drivers are different, I don't know how to install the drivers for new card while the old card is still installed. I have never done this sort of thing before, and before say…

Cisco Security Agent does not run on Vista 64
by Guest Dave W- 3 replies
- 317 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?

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. A simple reboot fixes it temporarily, until next reboot. Solution (or patch): A little of googling took me here http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?pageindex=2&siteid=17&postid=2617353&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0 where Greg Knight from MSFT offered a solution in page 2, admitting it is a Vista problem. Somehow Vista gets confused when mounting the 2nd parti…

Send to Mail command doesn't work.
by Guest Ryan K- 2 replies

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…

server generates Delayed Write errors copying Very large Files
by Guest Phil Lewis- 15 replies
- 751 views
Apologies as this turned out to be rather lengthy.... I run a development engineering lab for a financial services company and we are running into a rather peculiar but very troubling problem on some of our performance servers when copying, moving or backing up very large files, i.e. files greater than about 52 Gigabytes in size (yes GB not MB). Primarily these are SQL Server database files but we also see the same problems copying or relocating large Virtual Server Hard Drive files of that size or larger. The problem is actually an old one that I think has not been dealt with, the end result for us on Windows Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003 R2 is th…

Confused by 32 bit vs 64 bit driver info
by Guest Baysider- 13 replies
- 615 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?

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

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
- 289 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…

Why won't 16-bit installers run on 64-bit systems?
by Guest djarvinen- 5 replies
- 380 views
I'm having a problem loading an old Autocad (32 bit) but apparently it uses a 16-bit installer. I know that the 64-bit architecture is a superset of the 32-bit architeture so anything written for a 32-bit machine 'should' run on a 64-bit machine. But what is so magic about a 16-bit program? Thanks.

Hello: I first attempted to upgrade from 64-bit Vista Home Premium to 64-bit Vista Ultimate. After trying, it disabled the option and only let me do an install. So I enter my key in twice more. add another dummy option to the boot menu and attempt to do an install. I go to select the the drive to install. and the "Next" button is disabled. It tells me that I have to start it from a drive with a valid windows installation, which I can assure you my C:\ drive is. So I just reboot and repeat this procedure 2 more times with the same result, except I now have 2 more dummy boot options in the boot menu. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix the boot…
