    - x64 see's 233GB not 250GB. I have 4 diamondmax 250GB hard drives. I am runnung XP PRO x64, but the OS always shows the HDD's as having only 233 GB of space (obviosly less on the boot disc). Why is this? It also happens when using the onboard Nvidia RAID or x64 software RAID. Secondly how do I encourage the system to use more physical RAM rather virtual RAM. I have 8G but more virtual is being used. Is this application dependant or something that can be changed within the OS. Kindest Regards Mark Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16531

    - Does the Page File must be on C in order to check the dump files? I set my PF on another partition (which is also another harddrive),when i enable the Small memory dump and disable the auto restart,i get a message...something like "if you have PF lower than 0 on drive C,windows wont be able to write these minidumps" (something like that). My question is,does the PF really need to be on drive C:? Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16519

    - xp64 install going in circles As a follow up to my previous (unanswered) query, I have this scenario going on. Since xp64 Trial did not complete install when trying to do a dual boot setup I decided to try some things. One doing reinstallation of xp64. Well, what is happening is that once setup has installed the setup files, and the message "this portion of setup has successfully installed, your computer will reboot in 15 seconds" the computer reboots, but only reverts back to installing the same setup files, rather than going on to the next stage of installation. What is causing this? The bios is set to boot from cd first. If i try to boot from hard drive first, I get the disc error message. When I do go back to setup, the setup detects the attempted install of xp64 as being "another version of windows" is installed in the windows folder etc. I believe the disc to be good, as I had installed from it once before successfully but had to redo the install in order to put xp32 on the other drive, and then reinstall xp64 on the new drive for a dual boot setup.

    - It's expiring!!! OK. In half an hour my 120 days are over. Which is bad itself, but it's even wrong as I x64 retail is not yet available, and I would not like to purchase a new system just to be entitled to purchase an OEM (ell, here in Italy is not as simple as purchasing the OEM together with a screw :( ). So, is there any way to prolong the life of my system in the meanwhile, or does this mean I have no other chance than stick back to XP 32? May be the question has been already posted, but really I don't have much time to google around... sorry. Thanks. Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16490

    - 180 day? Hello, Today I recived my Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Trial CD in the mail. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/trial.mspx Says: "This trial software allows you to evaluate the product for 120 days. Register to order a CD or to download the trial software." The Cd Arrived and it says on the front and back of the CD Case that it is 180 day Trial Software. I am just curious which is correct.

    - 32-bit IE creates funky folders on the desktop I hope somebody at MS reads this: I'm using WinXP Pro x64. For some reason, the 32-bit internet explorer keeps installing one of the active-x controls I'm currently developing in a funky-named folder on my desktop. I'll try to explain this in more detail: I'm currently making an active-x control. To test this control, I remove the currently registered control, copy the (signed) cab with the new version to the webserver and I go to the test website. IE immediately prompts me whether I want to install the control. The .INF file from the cab correctly ends up in the Downloaded Programs Folder, but for some reason the DLL ends up in a new, randomly-named folder on my desktop! In the Downloaded Programs Files folder the control is marked as Installed, but the DLL is using a relative path and is marked as Damaged. Sometimes the installation fails. In these cases the control's properties in Download Program Files folder shows the DLL again with a relative path but with strange (probably illegal) characters. This behaviour is very reproducable.

    - New installation of XP 64 I have just installed XP 64 on a new computer I built. Intel 945GNT motherboard with 3 gHz Pentium D chip. Three 250 gb Western Digital Hard Drives set up as RAID 5. Difficult installation at best. 2gb Cruical memory. Intels BIOS update destroyed the BIOS and I had to replace the motherboard. Finally got things working. Now the splash screen comes up but the screen goes blank afterwards. This started after I places a portable USB device in one of the USB ports. Newegg refuses to swap this OS for the 32 bit one. What gives.? Is this thing ready for "prime time" yet? Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16404

    - Hack for spell-checking in OE. Hi, like most of you guys I noticed spell-checking doesn't work in Outlook Express under 64 bit. Windows XP 64 also has a 32-bit Outlook Express, but it still doesn't work because the EXE is modified to use a 64-bit dictionary (if you launch it you'll notice two msimn.exe processes, one in 32-bit and one in 64-bit). A simple workaround for this problem is to copy the MSIMN.EXE from a 32-bit Windows XP in the same directory as the 32-bit OE from Windows XP 64. You should rename the file before copying it, I called mine msimn_32.exe, else windows will restore the original file. Now you just need to execute the new (e.g. file msimn_32.exe) and OE will work with your 32-bit spell-checking software. The other stuff stays the same, i.e. you'll have access to your normal mails and address book from OE 64 bits. Regards, L. Weiss. Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16397

    - XP64 problem install for dual boot I first installed the xp32 Home on new primary IDE, which shows up as F drive in "my computer". The slave drive that I want to put xp64 Trial on shows as C drive when I am booted to the xp32. I then booted from cd (xp64 trial disc) and was shown drives C and D, choose one for this install. Here, at the blue partition screen, I chose D,which I'm figuring is the Slave drive, to install 64. I formatted it to NTFS (as I did the other drive). It goes through all the motions to install, but when it does its first auto reboot during setup, it doesn't seem to get past this and starts setup all over again. As a test, I have set the bios to boot the xp32 drive first which allows a normal bootup. However, if I set bios to boot the other drive first, nothing happens, no option for which OS I want to boot to (as I presume it never finished installing). Although, I do see files on the C drive resembling xp64 ( I can see a folder labeled "msagent64"). So, the questions are: what is not going right in installing xp64 for the dual boot scenario? and why do the drive letters show primary as F when in xp32? (D and E are cdrw and dvdR, and slave is C).

    - Xp pro 64 won't boot I'm sure a few of you out there have had this problem, I have installed xp pro 64 on my new system. I have two hitachi 7k80 SATAII running in raid 0 array, my problem is that I can get it to install and go through all the initial setup, but then when I try and boot for the first time into windows it stops at the logo display screen with the little blue blocks just running across the bar. I have the Nvidia raid drivers which came with the chipset version 6.66 drivers, the board in the machine is an asus a8n-sli (Nvidia nForce4). The rest is all fairly basic components Geil value dual channel kit 1GB, sapphire rad x600 (128MB), Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice). Has anyone got any ideas how I can round this? Thanks.

    - Wow6432Node Determining 64 "bit ness" I have written an application that determined if an OS was 64 bit version by looking for the Wow6432Node in the registry. Then I ran across a stumbling block. A windows 2000 machine had these in it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Emulex] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Emulex\AutoPilot Installer] "PortRunning"="TRUE" It appears that Emulex: http://www.emulex.com/press/2005/0131-01.html must put this in there. Is there are "unspoken rule" about the Wow6432Node use. Is there a better way to determine 64 bitted ness on a remote machine (not able to use WMI either - a requirement I was given) Thanks, Rick Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16364

    - Can't boot to XP 64 with drives connected to Maxtor Ultra ATA 133 I am unable to boot to Windows XP 64 with drives connected to my Maxtor Ultra ATA 133 card. My XP 64 installation is on a SATA drive and boots fine when I disconnect the cables from the card, but leave the card in the system. The system also boots when I connect any two of my six IDE devices to the onboard IDE controller. During POST, the system correctly detects whichever devices are connected to the Maxtor card. Also, if I connect the DVD and CD-ROM drives to the Maxtor card, the system boots, but blue screens when I use either drive. I get an error message which reads: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL This system has never had XP installed on it. It is a brand new system to which I have freshly installed XP 64. I really would like to get thise hardware configuration to work. Any suggestions? My hardware is as follows: Tyan S2895 system board (BIOS version 1.00.2895, date 2/21/05) 2 AMD Opteron Model 248 processors Diamond Viper X X600 Pro graphics accelerator card Maxtor Ultra ATA 133 Controller (BIOS version 2.20.0050.10 by Promise Technology) 2 WDC SATA hard drives 4 IDE hard drives (3 > 137 GB) 1 IDE DVD-ROM drive 1 IDE CD-ROM drive Maxtor's technical support wrote: It sounds like this is an operating system issue with XP 64. Did you recently upgrade to 64 or has it been working fine in any configuration until just recently? When did the problem start? We do not have any specific drivers for the ATA card other than what was supplied with the card itself. Given that POST sees all devices correctly, we can assume the hardware is fine. Do you have the same problem when running XP? Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16362

    - Dell & Sony Dell Laptop Wireless I purchased a Memorex Mini TD F mini clip. I only have one function left on the 2003 Dell Laptop, which is the Defragmenter file. The defragmenter file said Fat 245 244MB 99%, I had placed 5 newsgroup threads into the mini clip. I noticed that the Defragmenter file showed the defragmenter file on the Mini Clip clean. Originally, I had purchased the Mini Clip (with great distaste and hassle) because I wanted to use it when I used my new 2005 Sony Laptop. On the new Sony the defragmenter file stated that the Sony computer brain was empty. When I tried to enable the Mini clip function manually, a 51-page Windows XP description began printing out. I then had 117 Internet function appear. Where did they come from? I purchased a 2003 Dell Laptop. The computer was specially assembled for each and every purchaser. It was customized for the individual needs. For two-and-a-half-years, my customized computer was a nightmare. It appeared to catch a virus every time I used dial-up to access the Internet. The hard drive was replaced twice. The second time was August 1, 2005. Immediately, the Dell began acting up. I came to the conclusion that the only time my Family and Friends did not receive a contaminated email was when the hard drive gave out, and I had to wait for a replacement. The Sony Laptop was purchased September 16, 2005 because I wanted a clean computer simply to e-mail my brother in Connecticut "Good Luck". If wishing brother "Good Luck" meant that my luck wouldn't be. Brother was going to for a surgery September 20, 2005. My situation was that I had two sick computers one a new Sony and the other a 2003 Dell. Brother needs the "Good Luck" not I. Ten years ago, I believe that the United States government knew that China had the computer technology that could disable a United States airplane's computerized instrument panel, causing it to tumble from the sky in a finger-snap and crash into the Earth anyplace, anytime and anywhere. Since I already own a Dell laptop and tried to purchase a clean Sony, I believe that the Chinese government discovered a way to nicely package a USA nightmare. If the shoe was on the other foot and the Chinese government suspected sabotage, every Dell and Sony pusher, seller and flawed computer government protector would be taken outside of the store to be immediately shot! I live in the USA. I remember the US people calling French fries Freedom fried. The USA Politicians have taught the people to dislike the French. The French are insulted because the USA medical people want to exchange 3 inferior Tuberculosis vaccines for the Original BCG that was discovered in France about 1908. Now the USA politicians insult every country in the world because a country's only value is the people within. If we are going to sell flawed destructive merchandise that will destroy human life living in the USA, then the saboteurs should be taken outside of the store or White House to be immediately shot for the act of sabotage! Yes, the rude Orion Best Buy acted like a saboteur when I returned the flawed Sony Laptop. A saboteur would lie, which he did. A USA saboteur would use the young to again lie, teaching the young that lies are good and that evil saboteur politicians are the right way to live. Yep, he did that! When I purchased the $50 Norton antivirus software (after I had already purchased the Trend), the manager was watching as I paid for four items. I feel that after looking at my receipts, he knew that I had purchased the 3-year protection plan, too Disk Clean Up is found under system tools. There was 244,416 K called Office-set-up-files. The figure is now down to 3888 KB, that is 240,528K less that what the frozen 244,4l6. I came to the conclusion that the Disk Clean Up function has a flawed counter. They looked important, but somehow I believe that they threw Trend Anti-virus software anti-virus detection into the recycle bin when my back was turned. I believe that the US government and congress people knew that when the "Made in China" computers entered the USA, the computers would contain a system called "Outlook Express". The unexpecting commoner would think that he/she had an antivirus system, but reality was that the Dell laptop browser caught the software that could detect the antivirus software first. Yep, the browser could and (as my did) would catch a virus or worm as quickly as it could then throw the culprit into my Dell Laptop to cause havoc. I call that sabotage. I don't know of any country that would teach its children to ignore sabotage, the destruction of the ground upon which they walk. How buzzard! The devil wouldn't want a liar in the devil's den, even a murder would admit to the How and Why of the murder. The Office Set-Up file was filled with useful sounding computer words. To me, it sounds like the US Congress speaking to the commoner. We teach our children to ignore sabotage words for it's already under our nose in full bloom. I had the list down to 12. 1.

    - Windows XP x64 incompatability issues! I recently installed x64 because that was the reason I built a 64bit system in the first place. To have the latest fastest system that I could get. Only now, do I learn that there are a number of 32bit apps and drivers that are incompatable with the x64 OS. Now if Microsoft is so hot on promoting this new OS, why cant I find the updated drivers from manufacturers such as HP for my scanner or digital camera or Pico for my DVR card. Even Nero is having difficulty running on this system and it seems to me that my machine was doing better running XP 32bit. Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16337

    - XP Pro x64 MSDN download doesn't work? I have found the MSDN version of the AMD x64 WindowsXP Pro to be practically none-functional. I tried installing both versions (the one suffixed with 'Checked/Debugged', whatever that means?, the other without this addendum) combined with the latest drivers, and other than showing the desktop, was otherwise useless. To rule out a hardware/driver deficiency, I purchased an OEM version of x64, which installed functions flawlessly. So, considering the astronomical cost of the subscription and the unbelievable amount of time that I've wasted with these worthless downloads, combined with the cost of the OEM version, what is going on here!? I've also not been able to get the Media Center OS download to even successfully install!? Thanks Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16334

I reformated and installed xp64 and sure enough it found the processors and memory although it took me some time to find the drivers for the network. I need to have dual boot because some software will work on xp64 and some dont question for the day is it best to install each operating system on each drive and just unplug the drive with the operating system i dont want.

    - OT slightly RE Win Server academic??? An online store has an "Academic" version of this... I think it's 32-bit. I can get just about all my OS and SW, for IBM *or* Mac, "free" from school via MS contract (and discounts on systems from the same online store), but only our *departments* can get their hands on OS server editions.... So I'm wondering, is this a new offering, or is it not really legit? I guess I need to check in at school again, something I usually only do once a year for this stuff (most of which I never install or use -- except for test purposes, go figure). It costs less installed than even Linux on their server systems, which is why it caught my eye. Talking about an entire (Intel EM64T) system for under a grand, ready to go. Sheesh.

    - dual boot XP 64 and XP pro I built a homegrown system that consists of; AMD 3200+ 64 ASUS A8N-e MB with 1 gig ram ATI 600 pro All in Wonder 2 SATA drives 1 DVD and 1 DVDRW I first loaded the XP pro 64 and got that as far as I can till drivers and Apps are ready for this platform. I then loaded XP pro on my backup SATA drive. I had the dual boot option. After setting up the basic XP pro I cannot boot up the 64 bit XP pro. I get a ntoskrnl missing or corrupt. I modified the boot.ini. I ran chkdsk /r from the recovery console. I ran bootcfg /rebuild. I cannot get back into the XP pro 64 OS now. Also if I reformat the drive to reload the XPpro 64 I will lose the backup drive that has the basic XP pro because the boot info is on the 64 bit drive. Any ideas the get both running?

    - Sun Java x64 support As we all know, sun's java has no support for Internet Explorer x64. Please check this sun's page http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html from time to time in order to see whether that support is available or not. There is a chart where WinXP x64 has an entry named "Windows AMD64/EM64T 64-bit mode" The 4th column (browsers) says "no support" Let's hope that state changes in the near future.

    - Will 32 bit apps I had installed in Windows XP 32bit operate on 64 I'd like to upgrade to Windows XP Professional 64 bit Edition, but don't know if the 32 bit (or system32) applications I was running on Windows XP Home Edition will operate on the 64 bit version. Please explain if I can somehow upgrade the 32 bit .dll's to 64 bit (perhaps a download site). I understand that I need to be more specific as to which apps I'm referring to. I will be happy if I can use my 64 bit AMD Athlon to its full potential. Thank you for any help/consideration to my question. Goodnight. Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16286

    - ODBC Connection fault I have an application I need to run on an x64 box; it is fundamentally an Access application that connects to a SQL server via ODBC. I've setup the DSN on the x64 workstation just as I've done previously, using the built-in SQL server DSN/ODBC 'hook' provided with x64, and the connection tests OK in the ODBC configurataion. However, when I try to run the application, the ODBC connector fails. Any ideas? -- Gary Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16285

    - xp 64 backwards Just got my 64 bit machine, but now I see that I absolutely need 32 operation for a few months to allow my software time to get up to speed. I can return the 64 bit machine, get a credit and reorder with xp pro OR I could try to multiboot. I am not a computer guru and I'm afraid of the conflicts and hools that might come up with the dual boot. Any suggestions on which direction might be the best? Thanks for being out there.

    - Web Folders I have an installation of Windows XP 64 bit that I am trying to connect to a web folder using My Network Places. I enter it in correctly (http://servername/folder)and get the following error: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another." I can open the network place in ANY 32 bit client. Has something changed? What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks! Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16266

    - Itanium disaster- need a tech opinion OS: w2K3 64-bit, Service Pack 1 A customer of mine has a PowerEdge 7250 (Dell) that he attempted to install VMWare GSX on, so that he could run both Oracle and an IIS server on it, and thinking that he was taking advantage of dual-core technology, have it appear as two distinct, separate servers. It crashed his box and added ISAPI filters to his existing IIS that took him a lot of time to remove once he uninstalled the GSX app. It also wrecked his ODBC components and would no longer accept connections through the OraOleDB component. I had him attempt an MDAC install in an attempt to remedy that; prior to that, he had opened an incident with Oracle to no avail. A perusal of the VMWare website states that GSX is not supported on the Itanium platform. Knowing that, I painted a bleak picture for him, saying that his only recourse was to place a fresh reinstall of the OS on the server and start over, as installation of an app on a non-supported platform won't get you very far in the support cummunity. He, however, wants a <b>Microsoft opinion</b> on what to do, since "it's a production server and it handles many tasks, which would take a bunch of time to redo." I told him I would get an MS opinion... platform experts, your thoughts please! Thanks in advance. Tag: Desktop feature missing! Tag: 16256

Please return the very useful feature of having an HTML page as the desktop
background. This is a wonderful feature in XP Pro 32 bit and will be sorely
missed by our company if not included in the 64 bit release!!!

Don't expect that to come back in this release. I beg to see it in the next
version of Windows, Vista instead.
