Running Vista 64 bit in 32 bit mode
by Guest Rick- 20 replies
- 845 views
I recently purchased Vista 64 bit, when in retrospect I should have purchased th 32 bit version. I am now encoutering problems (obviously) running most of my programs, as they are not compatible with the 64 bit version. Is there any way to run the 64 bit version in a 32 bit mode, or is there any remedy to this problem? I was thinking that if all else fails I would have to go out and buy the 32 bit version, and reinstall it over the 64 bit version...agian, will that work if I do that, or am I going to have to reformat the disk, and start all over from scratch, which I hoping not to do, both from the perspective of cost and time.

Enable/Disable driver signature
by Guest Ray- 3 replies
- 308 views
This should be made an option rather than an imposition. I know there are certain advantages of using it but it should be my decision if I want to use an unsigned driver or not. I installed Vista64 because i believed a phrase I saw at microsoft.com saying Vista64 was great for gamers. Well, us gamers sometimes like to modify/patch our systems. In my case I bought a USB mouse which will fail to read all my movements if I use the default USB driver which runs @ ~125MHz (standard USB speed). But I can modify this usb driver so it will allow my USB port to run @ 1000MHz. Thus making my mouse superior to almost any other mouse model in the market right now. …

XPx64 does not work with 2GBx2 Dual Chanell
by Guest churin- 16 replies
- 616 views
I have W2K, XPx86, XPx64, VISTAx86 and VISTAx64 installed in my PC system. RAM consits of two 2GB sticks. I could install XPx64 only with the RAM configured as single channel mode, and after installation, it could boot only with RAM configured for single mode *despite* that all other OSes as above have no problem with dual channel mode. Another thing noted is that the RAM operates as DDR400 in dual channel mode while in single channel mode the speed slows down to DDR333. The problem symptom of booting the XPx64 with the RAM configured for dual channel mode is that the boot process goes into rebooting cycle right after Windows splash display. Note th…

Unable to write to my NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A
by Guest Wally Ballou- 7 replies

I can read a previously written cd or dvd but cannot write to a blank disk (cd/dvd)in the D drive. When attempting to write to the drive containing a blank CD I get an error message that there isn't a disc in the drive. Properties says that the free space and used space on the cd in the drive are zero. I can read the drive using Image Burn and it gives the correct amount of space used/available. I can also burn to the drive using Image Burn. This would preclude a defective drive. Am not sure when the problem occurred. By that I mean that I have not used the drive for a month or so and during that period something such as an new program could have…

WXP Pro x64 SP3
by Guest RichardAinz- 6 replies

Greetings, been a while since I last posted here and I do it intending to install my much used XP64 on a new machine. (Phenom - Giga-byte - Nvidia, etc..). Browsed this Newsgroup pretty thoroughly and I haven't seen my questions answered, some relation perhaps, but not exactly. I am very content with XP64, use to run it on my Turion HP laptop and had some difficulty getting the sound driver right, but I succeeded much thanks to http://www.planetamd64.com/ forums. To my question - I am aware that XP64 follows Server 2003 regarding core updates (at least that is what I have read in several places) so I wonder when a service pack 3 might be available? …

Hello! My video card is DirectX 10 ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512mb. The latest Catalyst driver 8.4 is installed. But: Windows Vista 64 "Performance Information and Tools" shows that "Graphics: Desktop performance for Windows Aero" has 4,8 Subscore and "Gaming graphics: 3D business and gaming graphics performance" has 4,9 which are very low, that the HD 2600 Pro is the bottleneck of my computer. Why does Windows Vista score the card so low? How to improve the performance of the card? Sincerely.

I am planning to built a new PC purely for the purpose of running VM, both Virtual-PC and VMware, the hardware consist of the following : Intel QX6700 with 4x2GB on a Asus P5N-E SLI, bunch of drives on RAID6 Hardware wise I have no problem, just wondering the best OS to use for the tasks, the host OS wont do anything else other than running VM, it wont be for production, more to do with swinging. The choice is not great as I am no Linux expert, so all are Win based.

Display Print in WordPerfect error.

Hello. This is such a strange problem (to me, anyway). I have my "style" set for Times New Roman, 10 pt., 2 column newspaper. But now, all my WP documents are showing up at about 24 pt, bold. It even goes beyond the margins. I checked the Style, and all is as I set it up. I checked "view", and saw only what it usually does - it was all as I set it up. I don't know what I did to affect the change. I even restored to before it happened, that didn't help. Does anyone have an idea of what might have happened? Thanks in advance for any assistance. S.

Display randomly turns on and off
by Guest Skeye- 1 reply
- 263 views
Since I installed Windows XP Pro 64 bit, I seemingly randomly encounter a problem with the screen display. The computer will be functioning fine and then the screen will go black (the monitor is still on) for approximately a single second and then come back on. It does not happen every time I use the computer, but when it does occur, the only solution I have found is restarting the machine (sometimes I have to do this multiple times). I am quite sure the problem lies with Windows or with the drive Windows is installed on as I have Fedora 8 installed on another drive in the system, and it does not encounter this problem. Is anyone aware of a fix for…

It's been a while since I've seen you around here - as I remember, you used to have a problem with your affinity setting not being persistent over boot-up's. I just happened to come across a utility on a gamers forum that can do this by listing an executable for which a desired affinity is set and then apparently set the same every time that *.EXE is run. If you are interested I will post a link! Tony. . .

Remote Win64 registry access from Win32 managed app ?

Since the following article was posted, have there been any updates to the ..NET framework (any version) to support remote access to the Win64 registry from a managed app running on a Win32 system? We'd prefer to do this in managed code without having to resort to PInvoke calling native code that uses the KEY_WOW64_64KEY flag if possible.

Advanced boot options
by Guest Wasted- 4 replies
- 376 views
Hi New computer - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz, Windows 64 bit Home Premium, 8GB RAM Have been having trouble getting decent graphics out of Google Earth, and saw in support forums a suggestion to go to advanced boot options and restrict max memory to 3000MB. Did so, didn't improve anything, so reverted to as was, but a couple or so questions arise to help in my learning if someone wouldn't mind. First - if it had worked, would that have meant 5GB of my RAM would have been unavailable to all software? Second - on the same settings screen, there is a setting that says "Number of processors" 1. Is that right, or should the four cores show there? …
