    - XP 64 and USB 2.0 Hard Disks When I plug in my USB 2.0 Hard Disk into my XP 64 computer, the computer detects the hardware, then BSOD. After researching the error code from the BSOD, I found a Microsoft article that describes the error exactly, except it is in reference to XP 32-bit. This was an issue on XP 32-bit, SP2 corrected the issue, but apparently a similar fix has not yet been implemented into XP 64-bit. Here is the article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=331988 When can we expect a fix for this issue? Notes: the USB 2.0 Hard Disk works on the same exact hardware as mentioned above with XP 32-bit installed and I verified the same issue occurs on 2 other XP 64-bit systems as well.

    - Rant time... This has nothing to do with x64, but since lots of the people posting here build their own machines, I thought somebody here might be able to help. My x64 pc resides in a huge PC Power & Cooling tower case. It's as plain as you can imagine - a tall, very heavy duty white box with 8 accessible 5 /14 drive bays, a power switch and a reset switch. PC Power & Cooling now makes only power supplies. Also, every time I have swap a peripheral out of this case, I miss the nice tool-less features of lots of newer cases like Enlight's. Here's the rant: All the cases on the market today look absurd. I know that it's what the hip crowd wants, but it reminds me of the line in the old John Prine song "Looks like a 'lectric shaver now where the courthouse used to be..." Anyone able to recommend a capacious full tower that won't offend my stodgy sensibilities of what a computer should look like? Tag: Another one that works... Tag: 7528

    - Does XP PRO 64 support 2 x dual core processors? As per Microsofts: 5 reasons to go windows x64. Under the sub heading: Multiprocessing and Multicore. "Windows Xp Professional x64 Edition is designed to support up to two single or multicore x64 processors for maximum performance and scalability." Is this correct ? As I have read in the media that in Windows Server 2003 x64 the windows task manager will detect 4 CPUs (2 x Dual Core) as will the bios. Is this only particular to Windows Server 64 as a Windows white paper on x64 states that XP PRO x64 can only support 2 CPUs . Does XP PRO x64 deal with multicore in a different way? I would like to put together a 2 x Dual Core Opteron workstaion with XP PRO x64 but it would be great if someone could clarify this bit of confusion for me. Many thanks..

    - Sharing an XP printer with x64 With x64 up and running I'm very impressed with it. However, I suffer from the same probles as many in that my printer does not have a driver. If I were to set up another computer as a "Print Server" running 32 bit XP with my printer installed, would it be possible to share it with x64 and print via the network? I've got all the extra hardware laying around, thought it might be a solution to my problem. So can you share a printer when there is no comparible driver for x64? Thanks, Curt.

    - Webcams for X64 Has anyone found a web cam that works under X64? Polycom's PVX conferencing software will work under X64, so Polycom support tells me, but there have to be drivers for the web cameras. I know that Creative is promising some in the 3rd or 4th quarter but I would like to know if there are any out there now. One of the compatibility sites suggested that the IBM PC Camera worked under x64, but since those camera's (Xrlinks I think) didn't work well under XP anyway, and since there is no site for drivers, I am a little skeptical of the claim.

    - SDLT 600 tapes are not usable I have a server running Windows 2003 standard server with a SCSI SDLT 600 tape drive. I can use the driver that comes with Windows and the drive works fine, passes all diagnostic tests. But it won't put the media into a usable media pool so ntbackup will use the tapes. The tapes are added as unknown media and marked as read only in that media pool. I cannot move the tapes to a different pool as I get an error that the tape is not writeable. Is there a way to manually configure the RSM so it has the correct tape drive paramaters? The drive works and tests to read and write directly using the manufacturer's diagnostics. But it won't write with backup as the tapes are not being placed in a usable media pool. Any help would be appreciated. -Derek Tag: Another one that works... Tag: 7436

    - AMD64 processors I'm looking at changing the MB and proc on an HP Pavilion that I have. I've been looking at AMD Athlon 64 procs, but am a little confused now. I'm sure the smart people on this NG will be able to clarify this for me. It appears that AMD has Athlon 64 procs in socket 939 and 754. What is the difference and which one is better? Also, would it be better to go with an Opteron or stick with the Athlon 64? I'll be using the desktop for business mostly with approximately eleven applications at any one time running simultaneously and two of them are graphics intensive. Opterons run all the same apps that Athlons do, right?

I don't have access to latency through my BIOS and this seems to be the underlying problem in getting good sound. System sounds, e.g. Windows logon, etc. work fine. If I change the driver in my video edit software to the ASIO driver and increase the latency then wave files play correctly. If I try to play an mp3 or wave file using eithe WMP 10 or Media Source then the sound is crackly, distorted, skips, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark. Tag: Another one that works...

HP's website lists three drivers for this printer for XP 64bit, but none of them will install. Looking at the inf files, I reckon they have been written for the old Itanium version of XP but HP's support engineers are too clueless to know.

    - x64 will not install My follow-up from Hitachi re the fact that on my system I cannot get the system to recognise the drive on return from Text mode. We have run into a few things that need to be mentioned while researching this issue. The operating system you are using is still in the beta stages which means there are most likely still some issues that need to be addressed. Hitachi GST has also not tested XP64 with any of our drives at this point so we cannot guarantee how well the drives will perform with that version of the operating system. We have also not yet tested your motherboard with the T7K250 drive to verify compatibility. That aside, we continued to research the issue you are experiencing.

    - x64 will not boot after installing latest MS AntiSpyware I received an update notification to inform me that a new build of MS AntiSpyware was available. I duly downloaded and installed it. The installation asked for a restart. After the restart, I got the following message informing me that the \CONFIG\SYSTEM file was missing or corrupt. I assume that this registry hive is damaged. My question is really to ask whether the AntiSpyware installation could have caused this corruption, or is it pure coincidence?
