Bugcheck analysis - can anyone tell me what this means?
by Guest Simone Dutt- 3 replies

To cut a long story as short as possible, our Dell PE SC1420 running Server x64 standard SP2 keeps intermittently restarting from a stop 0x00000050 error and logs only a "the previous system shutdown at x on x was unexpected" event in the log. The WinDbg dump analysis (included below) always shows the error to be a nonpaged pool expansion caused by our DAT tape driver (pvdatw2k), which is current and supplied by Dell (there is no native x64 driver). Dell have replaced the drive and cable and most of the major components in the system, but the error keeps occuring. I sent them the crash dump analysis and I have run my own diagnostics and swapped the RAM mod…

Memory management question

I have been doing performance load testing of an application running in remote desktop to a Terminal Server running on Windows 2003 Server 64-bit Std Edition run. I load up the server with remote clients running the application until I reach the capacity limits of the server. In my 32-bit server testing the available physical RAM would usually get down below 100MB before the first big working set trim would take place. On my first test using the 64-bit server (with 16GB RAM installed) the first working set trim took place when there was still about 3GB of physical RAM available. It reclaimed over 8GB of RAM from the working set bringing the available…

MS provides a 64-bit version of VPC2k7 for x64 platforms. I have XPx64 and have installed this '64-bit' version of VPC2k7. It only runs in 32-bit mode. How do I get it to run in 64-bit mode, or is it possible? Are there certain things that need to run in order for it to consider running as a 64-bit app?

8 GB in Laptops by end Q2
by Guest David F- 0 replies
- 256 views
I spoke with a Kingston rep today at a Microsoft conference and he said that they will be offering 4 GB RAMs which will allow for 8 GB in a laptop at the end of Q2, price unknown. Apparently Dell is already offering 8 GB laptops for about $1300 extra. When the 4 GB RAMs start coming down in price, Vista 64 should start getting a lot more popular.

I just can't seem to access my external hard drive... At one point I was able to. it saw it as just another folder in my computer but now I can't get it back for the life of me. I updated my ports, I tried patches but all I ever got was "this update does not apply to your system". It shows up in the device manager and says its working properly and when I unplug it from my computer I hear the little "disconnect sound" same for when I reconnect it except its the "reconnect sound". Using vista home premium 64bit 4gigs of ram thanks -John

Motorola phones USB driver v3.3.0 for x64
by Guest Carlos- 2 replies
- 282 views
Motorola released a new set of drivers for their mobile phones for 64-bit versions of XP and Vista. http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/ I am successfully using the prior version (v3.2.0) with my Motorola W510 phone and Windows Vista x64. These drivers are not necessary for the usual USB Mass Storage function, but they allow you to use your phone with Motorola Mobile Phone Tools, P2K Tools, Mobiledit, etc. Carlos

Upgrading Home Premium 32-bit to Ultimate 64-bit **QUESTIONS**
by Guest Seidell23231- 3 replies
- 272 views
Hi ALL, I have just purchased the "RETAIL" version of HP Pavillion Elite m9150f PC, which came loaded with Home Premium 32-BIT. I have Ultimate Upgrade Edition, which came in 32-BIT and 64-BIT. After a visit to HP Shopping web site, I found they sell the m9150f in the "PRE-BUILT" format, with the 64-BIT OS. I have compared the 2 side by side, Retail vs. Pre-Built, and it appears the ONLY difference between the two is the OS. Retail=32-BIT, Pre-Built=64-BIT... Since I have purchased the Retail version, I would suspect the upgrade to 64-BIT OS, should be an upgrade option that will work with what I have purchased. Two Questions: Q1: Is the 64…

language packs and SP1
by Guest Ralph- 1 reply
- 257 views
Hello, I recently read an article saying the SP1 will be delayed until fixes can be made to work with the added language packs. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2008/03/04/vista_ultimate_sp1_language_packs/ I had been adding some languages to my system as a courtesy to friends with diverse backgrounds. All these people are multi-lingual, so it's strictly a courtesy. Is there a consensus on whether I should remove the packs, so that SP1 could install, or should I just wait for the fixes to come out 'later in the year'? I am curious to see what effect SP1 will have on my system. Thanks!

What an awfull couple of days! 1 2
by Guest Tony Sperling- 37 replies
- 1.1k views
It's not that I'm really whining, but I certainly had my share of misfortunes just now! (I probably deserve it) My 64bit system commited suicide and the good old retired Athlon XP 2400+ machine, that I enlisted as an immidiate reservist, refused to acknowledge that it had a perfectly good HD a short while ago! A new flat-cable sorted that one after quite a bit of rummaging. So, folks: "Here I am - back at the old Win2K, for now". What a wonderful machine this is - it never ceases to amaze me! I'll be reading over your shoulders for a while now! I can't really figure out what happened with the FX-62 system, though, since I wasn't in the room when it shut down…

Trojan damages
by Guest Chad- 1 reply
- 235 views
My computer was recently infected by trojans. It took sometime for me to detect it because I was using avast at first. I switched to Kaspersky and that did the trick. After the cleaning process, I can no longer open my hard drives from My Computer the normal way (i.e. double clicking). When I double click on their icons, an "Open With" dialog box appears. I decided to repair my copy of winXP by reinstalling it (choosing the Upgrade option). Everything went fine, only my IE (previously ver 7) rolled back to ver 6 and WMP (previously version 11) rolled back to ver 9. I re installed IE7 and WMP11. Problems: The IE7 icon does not show up in the start menu…

the exe containing the 64bit version of sidebar doesn't work anymore on my computer. I have executed the 32 bit version and that works fine. when I click on the 64 version I receive a message saying that my version of sidebar is not compatible with my os. it says that I need to check to see if I am running a 64 or 32 os, but I know that I am running a 64.

Just a last check on my Shut-Down issue. . .
by Guest Tony Sperling- 3 replies
- 268 views
Before I throw myself on the phone - anybody think it possible, even by the slimmest of chances, that the CMOS Battery could cause such a thing? The machine is about 8 months of age, and the battery could in reality be significantly older than that. I have not seen any other indications that would make me suspect the battery, I succesfully flashed the BIOS a month ago, but then BIOS's has been seen to have mysteriously severe impact on a system's apparent sanity. I intend to buy a second PCI-e Video Card and test that before I ship it off! Tony. . .

Audio Codecs, INF install doesn't work, Virtualdub
by Guest Jon T- 1 reply
- 225 views
This is driving me crazy. I have upgraded assembled a new system and I am running Vista 64 Unlimited. I do a lot of multimedia work and need to get the audio and video (mostly audio), decoders and codecs back installed. I use a great product called Virtualdub http://www.virtualdub.org/ , as a front end to manage my encoding. I use Divx a lot, etc. Here is the issue: * When I get the audio decoders and codes that I have used before in XP 32 bit, many of them get installed by downloading a "rar" folder, extracting them, then "right-clicking" on the file.INF file and the decoder or codec gets installed. * When I do that, with my 32 bit codecs it …

I did a search in 64-Bit computing and found one thread on this subject, but the poster didn't get a response. I can't find any themes settings for my display. Doesn't the 64-Bit OS support themes? Like the fish aquarium, etc. There isn't anything in the Downloads for Microsoft themes either just games. Will purchased screensavers work with 64-Bit OS?
