Is the Anytime Upgrade 64-Bit?
by Guest Sarahzsmyl- 7 replies
- 373 views
I have Business x64. I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to Ultimate, but I don't want to lose my x64 OS. I can't find anything on the site about whether or not I can upgrade to a 64-bit version of Ultimate with the Anytime Upgrade. You know what they say, once you go x64, you never go back... Has anyone else run into this?

Slow firewire transfer speeds...
by Guest JR- 6 replies
- 333 views
I recently bought a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. When I hook an external firewire drive to the system and go to copy a file, I get transfer speeds for around 60kb to 200kb. That's right, not even 1mb/s. My older laptop that is running XP Pro has no problems with this. I have google searched for this problem and found out that for some the performance and reliability updates (KB938979 and KB938194) *may* have fixed this problem. I tried to install those updates, but I got an error message "this update does not apply to your system" and it won't install. I can't tell whether that means the update is already installed or what…

Good evening, i dont know if this is the place to ask this question... but i have scoured google for the last day or so for answers but i cant seem to be able to find the answers i need. I have a system which i have decided to put vista ultimate 64-bit edition and the system is running 2 x western digital WD5000AAKS 500gb Sata drives. Everything seemed fine at first, but i noticed recently that the disks appear to be stopping every 3 to 4 hours and rebooting the system. When the system comes back up, it attempts to report the error however cant find a solution to it. It is a blue screen error and an error code of 9f. I was wondering if anyone else…

I was just wondering
by Guest Mike- 1 reply

Just a general question to smarter people than I: When Microsoft puts out a SP 1 like Visa has out now is the information that they get from the Windows Defender, Microsoft Spy Net membership site or is it from area's like this that gather problems and hopeful solutions? And how much information do they get from Spy Net community. My guess is that most people don't join the advanced membership because of privacy issues. Just a thought Mike

Hi all: I have a Vista Ultimate x64 home-built pc that I am very pleased with but have a question about a continual massive build up of "windows error reports". When I select "disk clean-up" it reports large amounts of space used. For instance.....I installed a program to keep track of the hard drives SMART data and after the install Windows reported it may not have installed right. I clicked it did. I then used the program for a couple of days and when I checked in Disk cleanup it reported 275 MBs of space used for "error reporting". Since that hadn't happened before, I uninstalled the program and cleaned up the wasted space with Disk Cleanup. …

dual dvi problems

I had a 64bit XP pro computer built recently by a local vendor. I ordered an ati x1650 512 MB video card-per his recommendation. When he setup this at our site, he had been using vga adaptors. I asked him why it cant run as straight DVI and he said the drivers were not available for 64bit - Well I think thats a bunch of crap. Does anyone have dual DVI ruinning on XP 64bit ?? I tried going to vendor and downloading their latest drivers and it still doesnt work as DVI. Thanks Curt C

Windows Live Mail

Are we gonna get to use Live Mail in XP-64? It won't install, but it will run if I reach over and run it from my XP-32 on the other partition. However, I just get the message headers, not the text of the message. It's a great program, but I want it on XP-64!!! For now, I'm running Mozilla Thunderbird, but it's just not as sharp as Live Mail. Does anyone have a workaround?

My first impressions - Vista 64 bit Ultimate
by Guest Don- 15 replies
- 513 views
Hey gang, Ok, so's I purchased Vista Ultimate 64 bit full retail version, and installed on a new hard drive of it's own, to boot along with my current XP Pro 32 bit install, to mainly play around with it. With the exception of my previously mentioned problems of not getting a choice upon startup which OS to boot into, have to use the bios boot menu to choose the drive to boot from, installation went flawless. Got all my needed drivers, and they installed just fine. My system boots into XP Pro by default, which is really what I want for now, and I can choose myself when to boot into Vista. My wife will not be using Vista for now, so this scenario works pretty…

Vista x64 excessive HDD loading at startup @ System unresponsive
by Guest Emranius- 7 replies
- 323 views
My Vista x64 SP1 (got it from Connect) build currently boots up to the desktop and then loads for 30-40mins (with the sidebar, and other startup programmes coming up gradually very very slowly), before becoming responsive. You can move the mouse but clicking on anything will be very very very slow. Before last night, it would take less than 30 seconds! All this happened after installing a new Heatsink (Xigmatek Red Scorpion, great performer btw). Confirmed it's not a faulty install/cpu problem as a dual boot to XP works fine. On first boot, the XP installation did say the Vista drive (hooked on a SATA port, XP is IDE) had to be checked for consistency, …

Help, before upgrading to Vista 64 I backed up all my .psd's to a remvable hardrive. Now when I try to access those files Photoshop is directing me to go to Windows and change permissions. I have done what I think is correct but when I go back I get the same message. Also I have 1000's of files is there a way to give permission to the hardrive rather than eash file. Thanks Ian

Canon Lide 50 scanner
by Guest Jon T- 7 replies
- 388 views
I built myself a new system and have put Vista 64 Ultimate on it. I have had a few issues with drivers, but one I cannot figure out is a driver that will allow my Canon Lide 50 scanner to work Canon, for some reason, has re-compiled the drivers for 64bit processing for their Lide 60 scanner, but not the Lide 50. I have to have to get a new scanner just because of Canon's decision. what Canon has done was to give me access to their "Customer Royalty Purchase" site. WHAT A JOKE. At most 10% off and I have founf eveything on it for a lower cost than on their special, passwork protected "Customer Loyalty: area. I have had Canon products for years and re…

There was a registry entry in good old windows where the network comment was readable in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ LanmanServer\ Parameters\ srvcomment Now this entry has been removed from the registry - at least it seems so. Do I really have to use other network api functions to retrieve this information? I would like to stick to the capabilities of our inventory solution which means registry retrieval.

Solid State drives under 64 bit Vista
by Guest RedRockNv- 1 reply
- 226 views
I run a Tyan Tomcat K8E MB Opteron 180 dual core 4 gig of rammand two WD harddrives. Operating system is Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I tried to install a solid state drive which seemed to be recognised by by the bios but when Vista started the SSD didn't show up under My Computer. I then tried two SSD's in a raid they were recognised by the bios in the raid section of bios. Once again when Vista started they didn't appear. To my mind it has to be a Vista problem. Anyone have any ideas? Yes I updated drivers.

VU 32-Bit >>> VU 64-Bit (VU is an Upgrade/Retail Edition)
by Guest Seidell23231- 9 replies
- 389 views
OK, to clearify: 1. My NEW PC (HP m9150f) - Came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium (OEM). 2. I purchased a RETAIL/UPGRADE version of Vista Ultimate, cost was around $250.00. That purchase gave me 2 DVD's: A. Vista Ultimate in 32-Bit - UPGRADE Version B. Vista Ultimate in 64-Bit - UPGRADE Version C. I purchased the Upgrade about 6-8 months ago. The only thing I have are the DVD's and a Quick Start Guide in Booklet format. 3. I used the Vista Ultimate to Upgrade the PC I had then, which was using XP Pro. 4. That PC is no longer alive, kicked the bucket about 2 weeks ago, but had a good 5 year life! 5. I have loaded VU, Retail/Upgrade…
