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

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…

Screen Scrolling Effect
by Guest Denise- 5 replies
- 389 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

Problem with IE 7 32bit under XP 64
by Guest CastlemaineGold- 5 replies
- 388 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…

Hi All, I've been using Windows XP x64 for two years and I am very pleased with this OS. I've been searching and haven't had much luck finding a TV Tuner for Windows XP x64. The Hauppuage support site doesn't appear to support Windows XP x64 (Vista 64 only). Can anyone recommend a TV Tuner for Windows XP x64? I just want to watch TV on my computer and occasionally record a TV show. Thanks in advance, -- Jim N

Hi, thanks all for your help. I have an OEM version of 64 bit home pro, and don't get support from microsoft...Thats lame. Anyway I have several devices I have installed: a logitech trackball, WD sata HDD, and unknown. these devices all work properly and are in device manager, detected and working fine with drivers installed. If i choose install later, there is no problem. If I choose find drivers, Vista will not find them, even if I put in the disk, or direct it in a browse to the proper location. If I say dont install I will do it later, the divice stops functioning. I am prompted to install an update, and when I download it, I am told it does not apply …

Vista 64 bit

I am currently running Win XP Pro (32 bit). I am intending to upgrade to Win Vista Home Premium and purchased the upgrade in 32 bit but have ordered the 64 bit DVD from MS. Here's the question: Can I go ahead and upgrade using the 32 bit version I have and then upgrade that to the 64 bit version when it arrives? My system is a new build; Core 2 Duo E8400, Asus P5K Deluxe MB, 8 Gb OCZ Platinum, nVidia 9600 GT (512) Direct X 10 and 2 x 320Gb Seagate SATA drives. All of my equipment supports 64 bit. -- Ric Thomas

DirectX

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?

Another Vista install tip
by Guest Carlos- 14 replies

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…

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
- 314 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?

I just bought the XP Pro X64 software and I am trying to install it on my PC. I am switching from XP home to X64 so I know that I will have to format my old drive and install a fresh copy of the X64. When I try to boot from the CD I get a weird error message. It says "File \AMD64\NTKRNLMP.EXE COULD NOT BE LOADED The Error code is 7" I have a qx6600 processor. What should I do ? Did they make a version for AMD and one for Intell ?

....partition and I did not tell it to....that is funny isn't it?...anyway...the harddrive is a 320GB Sata 3.0GB/sec harddrive and has 2 partitions, 1 @ 278GB and 1 @ 20GB with the backed up files left over from a Windows XP installation and the files I used to install the drivers for 64 Bit Professional. The 278GB partition is labled D: and the small partition is labelled C: which after my mere 4 years of computing leaves me feeling somewhat disappointed, mostly because I think the first partition should be labelled C: and the smaller partition I think should be labelled D: . ....the next bit is supposed to be a joke and has nothing to do with my qu…
