Running Vista 64. FAQ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been running Vista Business 64 without many problems for a few days

now. One thing is that I'm no longer able to see previews of Adobe

documents in Windows Explorer.

 

1) Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

I use Vista 64 because in addition to using MS Office, I do development.

I'm running SQL Server 2005 64 bit and also Visual Studio 2008. The system

is very fast and very stable with 4 GB RAM, 200 GB 7200 HD on an Thinkpad

X61s laptop.

 

Here are two things to look out for:

This should help you with ITunes burning DVDs under Vista 64:

Workaround for Windows Search and Office 2007 documents on Windows Vista

64-bit.

Nero OEM Essentials 7 with latest update works for me. So does ImgBurn.

Motorola Phone Tools through bluetooth to my Moto Razr to update contacts

from Outlook works as well. I know that Cisco VPN client does not work, but

the newer version called AnyConnect does work.

 

2) Could we please put together a FAQ that helps people with various

problems such as those above?

Re: Running Vista 64. FAQ?

 

A FAQ like you find on forums and websites do not work on newsgroups.

Messages scroll out of sight in a couple of days and folks don't go looking

for such things because they don't expect to find them in a newsgroup. Such

things need to be pinned to the top of the view and does not work in an ng.

Re: Running Vista 64. FAQ?

 

Correct - and besides, this NG, as it comes, IS a FAQ since all reasonable

questions are usually answered 'Pronto'!

 

The rest won't find it's answere in any FAQ anyhow?
