Re: Vista bullet-proof install steps

Re: Vista bullet-proof install steps Carlos Over the weekend I add a "new Wireless Desktop 3000 (wireless usb keyboard + mouse combo)" When I first booted to each system(dual boot) Vista 64-Xp64-XP My mouse & keyboard were frozen up at the log-in screen. I waited a couple of minutes(at the log-in screen) & all three systems found the correct keyboard mouse drivers. Draw back I found with this Wireless Desktop 3000 was it would not stay asleep on my system.I would put computer in sleep & in about 20 sec after it would come out of sleep mode on it's own.It was a toss up whether or not the mouse & keyboard would function at the log-in scree…

how to fix install issues of XP x64 after Vista & XP x86?
by Guest crichmon- 5 replies

Hi, I installed Windows Vista x64. Then I installed Windows XP MCE (32-bit). Installations happened without issue. Now I'm attempting to install Windows XP x64 Pro. The CDRom boots fine and windows starts installing. After the first reboot, the error message displayed is: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file." Attempting to boot to Windows XP MCE displays the same error. After booting from the Windows XP x64 Pro CDRom to recovery console, and running "fixboot", rebooting... XP x64 boots with the same error, however MCE boot…

Vista bullet-proof install steps
by Guest Carlos- 19 replies
- 675 views
Another Vista install, another learning experience. This time it was a Gigabyte mobo, with 790FX (a.k.a. "spider") northbridge and SB600 southbridge, both ATI chipsets. I had not read this kb http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931369 previously so I found myself with a neverending installation. A Vista green screen with mouse pointer and hourglass that would never go away while the hard disk was spinning and spinning. To make a long story short, THIS is what should always be done to have a "safe", bullet-proof and enjoyable Vista installation experience. 1.- Use a standard IDE DVD drive for booting Vista installation, even if you won't use it later. You can …

Screen Scrolling Effect
by Guest Denise- 5 replies
- 396 views
I've formatted my pc a number of times and I've always been able to change the display from the scrolling screen, like ocean waves, to just moving items straightly. I've gone into Display > Appearance > Effects and chose "Fade Effect." When that option didn't change the ocean wave effect, I chose Scroll Effect. That one didn't change the ocean wave effect either. I've always been able to change that setting but I might have forgotten and I be looking in the wrong place. Is that setting located somewhere else? I'm starting to get sea sick. -- Denise

64-bit Cisco VPN Client 1 2
by Guest VistaNewbie- 27 replies
- 1.3k views
I bought an HP Notebook to replace an old desktop that was running Windows XP Pro. The notebook was configured with: a.. Vista Home Premium (64-bit) SP1 b.. Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 @ 2.50 GHz c.. 4.00 GB RAM To my dismay, I have discovered that the VPN client that my government agency requires to connect to my office network will not install on the notebook. The client is a 32-bit program and my IT department does not provide a 64-bit client. So my new notebook was rendered useless as a computer to telework with. I configured it as a 64-bit Vista OS because HP sales told me it was needed in order to be able to use the 4 GB of RAM. With memory b…

Re: Windows 64-bit is awful. I agree. It is an awful product and I too feel taken in.

DirectX
by Guest johnsuth@nospam.com.au- 2 replies
- 315 views
In Win XP Pro x64 SP2 dxdiag.exe 64bit wrongly reports the CPU as AMD64, while 32 bit correctly reports Intel. System Information reports the CPU correctly. I downloaded directx_jun2008_redist.exe, expanded it and ran dxsetup.exe. It seemed to go through an install process and I rebooted. However dxdiag.exe reports no change to dx file dates and the CPU information is still wrong. This matters because all the 64 bit display drivers that don't work are placed by the NVIDIA installer in c:\NVIDIA\Win2KAMD64\xxx. I want to be sure I am installing drivers for Intel CPU, not AMD. What should I do next?

Problem with IE 7 32bit under XP 64
by Guest CastlemaineGold- 5 replies
- 394 views
Hi I have a problem with IE7 32bit running on my XP64bit machine. The IE 64bit version works fine and I'd be happy just to stick to that, but I can't access the MS Update page using the 64bit version - it requires me to use the 32bit version. The problem is when you open IE7 32bit it seems to just hang. The interface opens as normal and the tab reports that is is connecting, but nothing happens. It also sends processor usage right up...as though it is doing something. Unfortunately, no matter how long you leave it nothing happens. You can't close the app either and I have to resort to killing the process manually. I have tried reinstall the application b…

Whenever I put my motherboard DVD in the DVD drive, nothing happens. I used to have XP Pro x64 and it worked with that os. As a matter of fact, most of my programs won't install, such as AdAware, video programs such as BeSweet, computer programs such as Advanced Windows Care, etc. I receive messages that a file is missing from each of the programs that won't install. Another message that I receive says "This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of Windows and this version of Microsoft Deprecated DLL Components." And, btw, where's Add/Remove Programs that used to be in Control Panel? -- Denise

64 bit Cisco VPN Client?

Reposted from m.p.w.vista.general.... <snipped> Does Cisco have VPN client for Vista 64 bit? Would there by any other options that would support IPK protocol? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cisco+vpn+for+Vista+64-bit&btnG=Google+Search http://www.cisco.com/ <snipped> Thanks. I tried there first. The Cisco AnyConnect for 64 bit is the only one they support, but it is only SSL and not IPSec authentication. Is there another type of client that will allow that with a Cisco VPN? Cisco states this: The Cisco VPN client supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista (x86/32-bit only); Linux (Intel); Mac OS X 10.4; and Solaris Ult…

Leadtek Quadro FX3500
by Guest johnsuth@nospam.com.au- 2 replies
- 320 views
I ordered from a VAR an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 along with a 64 bit mobo and Win XP x64, but was supplied with a Leadtek Quadro FX 3500. Although it works with the Win default VGA driver, it will not work with any driver from Leadtek or NVIDIA. I can find no mention of 64bit on the box, user manual or Leadtek web site so I am suspecting that the Leadtek BIOS does not support 64bit. Is this likely?

IE7 on X64 - This PC, X64, or?
by Guest pdtbaum@gmail.com- 4 replies
- 345 views
I have found some occasional problems with websites, but only using IE7 on X64. I don't personally know anyone else with x64, so I cannot confirm whether the error is this PC or Microsoft. If there is anyone out there with a Netgear DG834G, would you log into it using IE7 (either 32 or 64 bit) and tell me if the Wireless page displays, or does not display. It displays with Mozilla and Safari, but not IE7. All the other DG834G pages work fine - it is just the wireless page that shows up empty - noting the help along the right side and the menus on the left both display just fine. Online checkin with Virgin Blue also does not redirect to the checkin page fr…

Another Vista install tip

Along time, more and more people is moving on to Vista. Guess who they call in town when they have a trouble? This one took me one hour to solve it. I was supposed to be an easy one. Vista x64 on an nVidia nForce 550 based mobo, had disks in RAID, IDE DVD was just a piece of cake. Well... not. After booting off the DVD, Vista would ask for DVD drivers!!! Drivers for vanilla IDE? WTF? I tried every known recipe. Flash BIOS, reduce memory speed (they were only 2 gigs!), increase memory voltage, disable every non necessary device, unplug everything. No dice. Until I took a closer look at the DVD IDE flat cable. It was an "old" 40 conductor cable as opposed to…
