Installing x64 on a brand new PC
Hi all,
my question will sound stupid to most, but i need to be sure before making
mistakes..
I have just built a new pc with a 64bit cpu and i'd like to install WinXP
professional on it.
Do i have to install anything before using the cd with the ISO of the
operating system downloaded from Microsoft?
Is it better if i install xp 32bit and check everything before installing xp
x64?
thx,
Zephyr
ps: i'm italian, so please forgive my english.. Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 4233

Saitek Gamer's Keyboard
Where can I get a working driver/software for the Saitek Gamer's
Keyboard? I downloaded the one off of Saitek's site for 64-bit (released
today) and the 3rd step in the intallation says "Plug in the devices you
wish to update the drivers of", but both my keyboard and sidepad (what I
need the drivers for) are already plugged in. I also can't find the
software that runs the sidepad. Can anyone help me? Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 4204
Trial activation - key used too many times?
I'm trying to activate my trial copy, and it tells me I've exceeded the
activation limit for my key. Since it's a trial key, shouldn't I be the
only one activating from it?
The trial was downloaded from the link in the email from MS, and the key was
contained in that email (in other words, I'm not just using some random
stranger's key; I went through the trial download process).
Any advice on this one? Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 4155

Geforce 2 Ti and XP64
I have a 64 Meg Geforce 2 Ti and I am having issues. I know it is a rather
old card, but for some reason I can't get XP 64 to detect my card. I have
dual boot between XP 64 and 32. XP 32 will detect the video card and install
the Microsoft drivers without any issue. Is this a vide card that XP 64 does
not support?
I know I may have to buy a new card to make it work but, I don't want to
purchase another card that may or may not work in XP64. Is there an HCL for
XP64? All I can find is one for XP in general. If someone can help me out I
would really appreciate it. Thanks in Advance.

READ THIS: acpitabl.dat issues?
Before you go off and format your box again, ask yourself this -- Have
you waited long enough? Upon building a new XP x64 rig (Asus A8N SLI,
4000+, etc.), I ran into this same aciptabl.dat hanging issues... but it
wasn't hung! I waited about 5-10 minutes and it finally booted. It seems
this is a one-time configuration/bug. Subsequent reboots take less than
30 seconds.
Just food for thought.

Install 64 bit driver to x86 program files?
When I run self install, updated, AMD Athlon64 CPU driver file ( from

XP 64-bit Where's the problem??
I've read a fair deal in here of late about XP 64 bit.
Regarding drivers, everything bar my scanner installed perfectly. I have a
cd on order with HP for the scanner. I'll wait to see if it cures the problem.
I have several software applications, all installed without problem
including Office 2000, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash MX, Microsoft Flight
Simulator, JASC Paint Shop Pro 8, they all run fine.
IE caused a problem running Flash, until I realised using the 32 bit version
shipped with XP 64+ worked fine.
The only problem I have is IIS not accessing Access 2000 databases on the
local pc, but the bottom line is it's not a perfect world and development
does take some time. Hopefully, sometime, a guru in here can assist me to
solve the IIS problem.
All said and done Microsoft do an excellent job with software development,
as do many other development companies. I do wish they could provide a little
more support given they no longer provide manuals and there's little
information in technets or the knowledge base regarding XP 64+.
$300AUD is quite a gamble whether the problem is mine or there's.....

Cannot install DirectX 9 in x64

Tool Tips disappearing under task bar
Searching the web, I know this has been a reoccurring problem with all
versions of XP, but this problem where the tool tips for the stuff in the
taskbar hiding beneath the taskbar so as to be not usable seems to be
happening with regularity on my x64 installation. A log off and back on
will fix the problem, but I sure would like to know what is causing this.
Particularly troubling is the lost tool tip for the clock that also displays
the date. Any ideas would certainly be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 4099
Not ready for prime time
Since this is a gap system, Microsoft has assigned NOTHING to differentiate
it from XP. Therefore programs designated XP, may or may not install on
this system. Most of the programs I have tried to install which aren't
compatible say to contact the program supplier and stop. Last night I tried
to install a program for XP.
It got to the point of 'installing drivers' and it froze. It was using the
Windows InstallShield. The only way to stop it was to use task manager.
Figured I would do the same as XP32 and do a system restore, and delete its
files from the Programs file.
So far so good. There was a restore point set before the install. I
selected it and everything seemed fine, but when the system rebooted it
stopped with the desktop and no icons. I gave it an hour to finish the
restore and load the desktop, but nothing. I then turned off the computer
as no shutdown was available. No task bar and cntl/alt.delete didn't do
anything. The next time it loaded to the desktop with icons and taskbar.
However the taskbar has no field for running programs. Just the start,
quickstart (when enabled) notification area and clock (when enabled). The
network connections also disappeared and one installed program I tried to
run never finished loading and another said the media player was not
installed, while the windows media player would say insufficient memory when
only 179k out of 2 gig was being used.
Tried system restore, but it said it was not available to protect the
computer, to restart and run System Restore, but after 4 restarts with the
same problems, it is obvious that this won't work either.
At this point, it seems the only alternative I have is to wipe the partition
and reinstall x64 and then again those programs that will install.
Thankfully I kept my x32 license and only wasted $140 on a system that
virtually no programs will be written for (since they will be coding for
Longhorn) and Microsoft's own staff probably been shifted also leaving
another WindowsME situation. (all you have to do is listen to any computer
show on radio and you can hear what a disaster that was, though I personally
had no problems with it). Since I have a life other than playing with an
experimental system, I don't know when I will have the time to reload
everything.
Also it would be helpful to know what designation to look for in a program.
Windows 2000/2003/9x/XP
Windows 2000/XP
Windows XP
Windows (All)
Since this isn't built on the same code base as XP, what should we be
looking for?

the 64 bit - jre-1_5_0-rc-windows-amd64, by the manual downloads, either file
i get an error after i choose either Custom or Express install. (one of those
with the "send error report" options)
DPE is not active, when it is, it pauses the installation on the Custom or
Express choice.
Any ideas on how i could get Java Runtime installed on this system?

An on-the-ball software developer...
I posted below that Paragon Drive Backup does not work on x64, but it's a
great product on 32 bit XP. Joseph Conway recommended that I email Paragon
and ask them their plans. I did, and below is what I got back in short
order. I'm impressed!
Dear Martin!
Yes, there are such plans. At present our software is being tested for
compatibility with 64-bit platforms. In the nearest future we are
going to realize 64-bit both Windows and Linux versions of our
products.
Would you please provide us with some technical information about
configuration of the workstation which you are going to install our
software to? Describe briefly the hardware: CPU, RAM, computer model,
SCSI controllers, hard disks, CD/DVD drive etc. This information will
be very useful for us.
If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us.

dvd/cd combo drive...
i'm having trouble getting xp64 to "see" burned dvds. my system is a
presario r3240us with amd athlon64 and xp64 os, with a combo cd-r/rw
dvd+r/rw drive (model hl-dt-st gca-4040n, apparently made by lg). i've used
several software apps to burn the data, with the latest run on vso's
copytodvd. each app shows progress and a completed task, but nothing shows
in win explorer at the end except a "blank cd". checking on another machine
running 32-bit xp pro, the data have been successfully burned to the dvd and
show up appropriately.the same pattern occurs despite using different discs
(all rated for the appropriate burn speed) made by different companies.
finally, movie-encoded dvds do play properly, whether triggered by autoplay
or manually started. and burned cds show up just fine.
any thoughts on why the machine isn't reading the dvd appropriately?
thanks,

If i'd wanted a 32 bit copy i'd have stuck with XP x86!
So what i'd like to know is...
1. is there any reason why internet explorer had to have 2 copies, x64 and
x86? whereas outlook express, notepad, and nearly every other application
bundled managed to get by with just the one (x64) copy?
2. is there any way i can get rid of the x86 version as windows keeps using
it as my default web browser and i hate having 2 programs for the same jjob
on my computer... to me its just messy

x64 Drivers for Promise RAID PDC20319
Have just installed the trial version of XP x64. All went pretty well. Only
have problems with my RAID controller for my Promise RAID PDC20319 and the
AC97 Audio codecs that come with the Intel 6300ESB southbridge chip and an
old IEEE1394 capture card. Well done Microsoft!!
My system has an ASUS NCCH-DL server mainboard with 2x Xeon 3.2GHz
processors, 2x512Mb Corsair DIMMS, 2x250Gb SATA WD HDDs (RAIDed), 1x 17Gb
Seagate SCSI HDD (on a 19160 Adaptec SCSI adaptor), 1x80Gb IDE Seagate boot
drive with a Gigabyte Radeon 9550 Graphics Card.
I have trawled through the Intel, Asus websites & many forums for drivers to
get the Promise RAID chip and AC'97 audio working. Has anyone had any
success with these two items? Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 3942
voice commands
Is XP 64 going to improve on voice recognition technology?
Is there an additional program or is it built in this system?

Sidewinder Gotcha!
I know 64bit is targeted as a serious workstation OS but I thought I would
pass on my latest 64bit gotcha!
I plugged in my Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel for the first time since
upgrading and...nothing.
After checking the Microsoft Web site I remembered the hardware was
discontinued a year or so back so I guess the drivers for them when never
ported.
Therefore ALL Microsoft sidewinder games controllers will not work in
Win64...ever!
So if you have any of the following sidewinder hardware get ready to through
them away if you upgrade to Win64:
FreeStyle Pro
Game Pad
Force Feedback Pro
Precision Pro
Standard
Force Feedback Wheel
...I love my Force Feedback Wheel <sniff>

Active X
When on-line, I get prompted to install Active X several times (depending on
the site).
I click and select install now and 1 of 2 things happens. It either asks
for the run now or save, or it does nothing.
I've tried the install when asked.
2 or 3 pages later, it will ask again. I selected install 4 or 5 times in
one night.
So, 'is active x 64 bit compliant'?
Is there an issue with IE64?
A combination of the two?
Most importantly, how do I fix it? Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 3901
I've been wondering (Re: Orders)
I've just been thinking... If the orders opened up on the 25th of april...
wouldn't you think that at least *some* copies had been produced for this
25th date? Did *anyone* receive their Trade-In copies? If so, then that
clears everything up, they made a few, and ran out in the first day, right?
But I've not heard of anyone receiving their Trade-In copies... Just gift
copies and OEM purchases...
Isn't it strange that they didn't have *any* ready to ship?
FYI, I only recently ordered (my OEM COA wasn't being accepted until last
week), so I know I'm not gonna see it for weeks... I just found it strange
that the trade-in program would have been activated without any supply
(aparently). Anyone want to add some insight into this?

Reverting to windows 32 bit xp
Just though I would drop by one last time and say thank you for the help and
goodbye :) I am going back for two reasons. one, I don't think there will be
64bit drivers available for things like printers, scanners, webcams, ipods
for a good long time if ever, companys put there development money where the
market is and x64 will be a hobby os for sometime to come and. I am not going
to run a system that has problems installing games :) and I know there are
ways to trick the games into installing. Two, it appears that MS and Intell
and the recording industry are going to force some fool copyright software
down our throats in the dual core pentiums and if thou I do not beleive it is
right to steal software I do not think this is the way to go, besides I am
real tired of calling india everytime I want to reinstall windows xp home.
MS has to understand that that people in poor countrys will continue to steal
the os no matter what they do, I am amazed when I travel to the carribean how
many people do this. So, thanks again and good luck with x64.

On board audio with nForce 3

fix this?
Or can I get drivers for an Audigy 2? (not ZS) Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 3877

Time Clock
Hey has anyone notice that in the rtm of x64 the clock does not keep the
right time. It always loses about 1.5 hours each day. And the update does
not update the clock. The only way it will update is to do it manually.
Did not have this problem in 1433 or 1288 Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 3827

Is it safe to install the windows 64bit Edition Trial or otherwise
My Question is: Is it safe to install the windows64bit edition trial or
otherwise on my laptop? Its an AMD64 HP DP533AV R3200 Compaq Laptop, 512MB
RAM, 40GB, DVD/CDR. Because it says in the manual that my currently
installed windows xp home edition is 'OPTIMIZED" for my laptop. If I install
the windows 64bit edition OS will it still be optimized for whatever special
reason my OS has to be optimized to whatever setup i have on my laptop?
Thank you, i just hate having to reformat and install everything again plus
copy my files back whenever microsoft doesnt tell you things ahead of time or
if HP doesnt, because last time when i tried installing windows SP2 my laptop
didnt restart anymore, and then HP said they dont recommend installing the
SP2...... waste of time and energy. Tag: FN_LIST_CORRUPT Tag: 3807

Does anyone know what FN_LIST_Corrupt mean, or where I can find out more
about it? It came with a "blue screen of death" while I was installing Visual
