    - Creating a batch file The problem i have is that i am looking to set up the schedulers to run a disk clean-up on my machines But the machines have multi partitions and i only require the C Drive to be cleaned out. I have been told that to get the scheduler to complete the task whilst away from the machines that I would need to create a batch file and allow the scheduler to run the batch file. if this is correct can anyone give me the text for the batch file that would run the disk clean-up Many thanks Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30246

    - x64 And DRM I installed Windows XP x64 a few weeks ago. Overall I'm happy with it. There are just a few things I don't have working yet. Mainly for lack of 64-bit drivers. One thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is digital rights management. Does x64 support it? Adobe Reader won't allow me to read pdf books that I previously purchased. I also can't play music that I previously purchased in MusicMatch. Is there a solution? I have a dual boot so I can use the files in 32-bit XP, but I'm hoping to get them working in x64. Thanks.

    - dual boot for games and devices? It's mounths now I have XP x64 on my PC and rarely use vmware workstation or other PCs for things I can't do on my system. Now I am going to buy news PCs for my children, that will be Athlon64 3500, 1GB, Asrock 939 A8X-M, FX 5500 da 256 mb. They will use them for school, learning but gaming too, so what would you suggest to do? Stick with XP x32 and eventually dual boot to an x64 just for special cases or viceversa? They may frequently need to use bluetooth usb adapters or cables for their phones, joysticks and similar things, but I do not know which games would work better in an x32 environment. My idea then is to stay with 32 bit, and install mail and applications in this environment, and then switch to x64 with a second boot partition with only the system installed for games, am I wrong? Thank you for your collaboration :-) Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30240

    - x64 Setup Can't See My SATA Drive I'm currently running 32-bit Windows XP on a SATA drive. I've set up on this hard drive an instance of Windows Server 2003 64-bit as a dual-boot. (Same partition, installed to \WIN2K3, I just had to rename the Program Files for XP, install 64-bit Windows Server, rename Program Files again to Program Files (32-bit), rename the "Program Files" key in the 64-bit registry to point to the new path, and then revert the XP Program Files back to the original name.) But I've since deleted that \WIN2K3 directory, as well as the two Program Files directories ".. (32-bit)" and ".. (64-bit)". Now I just boot to XP 32-bit. Everything works great for my 32-bit Windows instance. Since then I also got two more SATA hard drives and enabled nVidia RAID (striping) for the two new drives. I had to install drivers within Windows XP to see the new drives, but otherwise everything is fine there, now, too. Now my problem is I want to install Windows XP 64-bit, same way as I installed Windows 2003 64-bit. Unfortunately, however, Setup won't see my original SATA drive. It sees all my USB drives (LOL!! like I want to install Windows XP 64-bit on my 128MB USB flash drive) but not my SATA drive. I tried hitting F6 to load drivers, and I had a CD-ROM in the drive that I burned that has the nVidia nForce drivers for SATA (for WinXP 64-bit, and with no subdirectory nesting), but Windows said that it found no floppy drives. I don't have a floppy drive. *sigh* I'm not sure where to go from here. I could try temporarily disabling the RAID from the BIOS but I'm scared that if I disable it and then reenable it, the array will be reset (as in, logically wipe out the data). Here is my config as I type this: IDE0: DVD-RW (XP boot disc) IDE1: DVD/CD-RW (nVidia SATA driver disc) SATA0: 300 GB HD (Windows XP 32-bit) SATA1: 400 GB HD (nVidia RAID Disk 1) SATA4: 400 GB HD (nVidia RAID Disk 2) Any ideas? Much appreciated ... - Jon Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30235

    - vs2005 64-bit platformsdk issue Hi All, I am porting a wmi event provider dll from 32 to 64 bit. I have WindowsXP 64bit with Visual Studio 2005. I made a 64 bit configuration in my project. Everything compiles but I get two unresolved external references in the link. Both are contained within FrameDyn.lib/dll. I will focus only on one since the fix is probably the same for both. As you can see from below, the error is looking for an entry point named ?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QEBAPEA_WH@Z. When I run dumpbin /EXPORTS on the two FrameDyn.lib files installed in the VisualStudio path, each one has a GetDMTF@WBEMTime entry point but the decorated name of both do not match what the linker is looking for (see the names below). I looked around msdn to see if there is a new PlatformSDK for the Windows 64bit but it appears that the includes, libs and dlls all shipped with VS2005. If anyone can help me (other than to tell me that I should recode the project in .net managed...which is not possible right now), I would be forever grateful. Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: wchar_t * __cdecl WBEMTime::GetDMTF(int)const " (?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QEBAPEA_WH@Z) referenced in function "private: long __cdecl CMyClass::MyMethod(struct IWbemServices *,struct IWbemClassObject *)" (?MyMethod@CMyClass@@AEAAJPEAUIWbemServices@@PEAUIWbemClassObject@@@Z) MyClass.obj C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib\FrameDyn.Lib ?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QBEPAGH@Z (public: unsigned short * __thiscall WBEMTime::GetDMTF(int)const ) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib\AMD64\FrameDyn.Lib ?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QEBAPEAGH@Z (public: unsigned short * __cdecl WBEMTime::GetDMTF(int)const ) Thanks in advance, Tony Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30231

    - Group Policy Object Editing I have installed admintools from Server 2003 SP1 (according to) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304718 I installed gpmc as well.. Followed copying directions from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=895978 I didn't have gpedit.msc in c:\windows\syswow64 so I copied it there.. Now when I go to edit the MSC, I get the prompt of 64 or 32 bit version. No matter which way I choose (even though I would guess I need 32 bit) I get error: Failed to open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. I am getting closer and closer to getting this to work on my x64 box.. but still need this part :) Thanks!

    - ActiveX component can't create object Hello, I have asked that question recently but received no helpful replies, so I thought I'd try again: The COM objects my company sells are written in C++/ATL. When installed on Windows 2003 64-bit and used in the ASP environment, the following error is generated by a Server.CreateObject statement: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad' ActiveX component can't create object Now, this error is pretty common in 32-bit Windows, and is easily fixed by adjusting permissions on the COM object's DLL. But in 64-bit Windows this trick does not work anymore. Something else obviously needs to be done. But what??? Any help will be greatly appreciacted. -- Abe Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30206

    - Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition and Veritas BackupEXEC I've recently installed a x64 server for AD/DNS/DHCP/Print/File and third-party software backupEXEC and database for my customer. When deciding for the 32-bit or 64-bit server software I did some cheking if any of the 2 third-party software solutions would have any problems with the 64-bit server OS. The database had been tested on a 64-bit solution in the 32-bit enviroment so that was OK. For Veritas BackupEXEC my search came up with that I needed to upgrade to version 10. http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/A/A/DAA7245D-E01D-46A4-AB70-3A95ED3F6934/64veritas.doc http://www.veritas.com/news/press/PressReleaseDetail.jhtml?NewsId=64402 Now, when I'm about to install the backup software, they tell me that there is only the backupExec agent that will run on the server, not the backupExec software itself. What do I do? This is the only server in the network. Do I downgrade from x64 Edition to 32-bit? I do have Windows Server 2003 Standard installation media, but will the license key for x64 be OK? Is it possible to re-install and downgrade keeping the existing setup? Is there other backup software that support 64-bit? Only localfiles on the server and stop/start of the database service (done by running .bat files) will be needed.

    - No 64-bit Vista? Found this paragraph in a CNN.com story about the delayed release of Vista for consumers. "Three will be aimed at consumers, two at business users, and a stripped-down version for emerging markets. Unlike the current Windows XP, there will be no versions designed specifically for advanced 64-bit computing, multimedia computers or Tablet PCs." Is CNN simply misinformed? What does it mean to say there will be no version for 64-bit computing?

    - Vista Consumer release January, 2007 SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. said on Tuesday it plans to delay the consumer launch of its much-anticipated Windows Vista operating system to January 2007 from its earlier target of the second half of 2006, sending its shares down nearly 3 percent. Microsoft plans to launch a product for corporate customers in November and then roll out Windows Vista for consumers after the holiday shopping season, Jim Allchin, co-president of the company's Platforms & Services Division, said on a conference call. <snip> Microsoft said Vista is delayed because it wants to improve overall quality, particularly in security, and that PC makers didn't want the operating system introduced in the middle of holiday sales, because a new version would create instability in the market. ... -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 30173

    - Latest Konica Minolta printer update??? I wrote Konica Minolta about a 64 bit driver and posted some time back they had responded, ".. currently scheduled for a 64 bit driver release in the beginning of March 2006. Please check our web site for announcements on this matter".... soooooooo....... early March has come and gone and so has middle March and it's now late March with no driver. I wrote 'em again and got: "The Magicolor 2400W has been added to the 64 bit driver development list. A release date has not yet been set for the driver. You may continue to check our website for driver updates." Some how that seems very different from the earlier statement doesn't it? Sorry, I know this is no help to anyone, I just felt like venting.

    - installing x64 on a gigabyte nforce4 motherboard Hi all I've tried to install x64 onto a gigabyte nforce sli motherboard and and the install works ok once I load the latest sata raid drivers from a floppy. the issue is that on the next reboot the raid array that I have set up for the C drive seems to be split in the OS and you can see a C and D drive both with the windows directory on them. Then after the install has finished and I've had the opportunity to use the OS for a while I try to reboot it and I get the error that the NTLDR is missing. I'm using the latest drivers from the gigabyte and NVidia websites and have followed their instructions but it seems not matter what I do the raise set for the c drive always gets split even though at the bios level it says that there is still a valid raid set there. Anyone seen this or similar before and managed to get a booting system at the end of the day?

    - Windows 64 bit porting - AMD vs. Intel Hi, Following a thread at OSR's newsgroup (http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=88874), I will be happy to know your opinions for the following issue: Given all the above discussion (link above) , it seems I should focus on considering porting to x64 (AMD64/EM64T). To get a better understanding of the how/which answers, I would appreciate it if you guys can share any market projections/insights you have in regards to the penetration of these systems in 2006 and 2007. Furthermore, it would be interesting to understand the x64 support for Vista. I mean, would all x64 systems be installed with a 64bit OS, or do you guys think that, as today, most x64 systems will still be shipped with 32 bit OS. Do you have any insights in regards to the configuration of x64 systems by major OEMs (HP, Dell, etc.) and which OS are they going to put on the system? Thanks!

    - Where's my second CPU? New install of WinXP x64 edition. The first couple of times I booted the system, Windows detected a multiprocessor system, and asked me to restart to finish the installation. I restarted. It detected a multiprocessor system, and asked me to restart to finish the installation. I restarted. It detected a multiprocessor system, and asked me to restart.... It eventually gave up, and now I'm stuck with half a computer. :o( Anyone know how to fix this? (Preferably without reinstalling Windows and praying.)

    - Virus? Firewall? Hi I was browsing through three or four pages. My system suddenly hang and I had to restart. On restart 'Adware' had an alarm that certain registry keys are being modified. I tried blocking the changes but don't know what happened a total of 28 registry keys were changed and all of the executable files were changed to the extension '.lnk' and I could not run anything not even Internet Explorer. But I wonder, all the drivers were working fine. I have Mcafee Enterprise 8.0i; but still it could not work. Could it have been because of a firewall problem as I use the built in firewall of Windows? I formatted and reinstalled everything on the root partition. Luckily the virus did not infect the other partitions. What could have caused this problem and how can I stop it from happening again!

    - Looking for samples, links, etc. for Activex 64 I googled for hours searching for whether is it even possible to create 64-bit activex (.ocx) for IE64. Many articles I found on the net (including postings on this board) say that "...most folks have yet to re-write their 32-bit activex for IE64" which led me to believe that it's possible to do so and there is an activex control out there written for IE64. Can anyone point me to some sort of tutorial or demo of such control ? I found this tutorial http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/March/ActiveXInNet.asp . I haven't tried to recompile this one for IE64 which seems it is possible. However, when I ran this on IE32, no control got downloaded to Downloaded Program Files folder or displayed on "manage add-on" window. This is not what I'm looking for. thanks. -- Mr Testing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr Testing's Profile: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/member.php?u=1898 View this thread: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16952 Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 29913

    - News: Windows Vista Release - November 2006 This is the year. the year that Microsoft releases the newest version of Windows. Yes, Vista will be released in November of this year.

Let's take a quick look at all that Vista offers a small business. http://blogs.msdn.com/conblog/archive/2006/03/14/550826.aspx -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 29910

    - Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 localised into spanish As far as I know, x64 versions of Windows Server are not localised into any language but english. We need to install the english version and then install the right Multilingual User Interface Pack on top of the english installation. Is this also correct for R2? I saw some days ago (in http://licensing.microsoft.com , products download area, selecting the product Windows Server Standard) that the Spanish localised version of R2 was already available, but only 32bits version! However, in our case (we have just bought a dual Xeon server) we would like to install R2 x64 but localised into spanish. What would be the downloads that we need to do and the steps to follow in order to achieve this? Note: We have VLKs (among others) for: Win Server 2003 R2 x32 Ed. Win Server 2003 R2 x64 Ed. <-- We'd like to use this one Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003, x64 Ed. To start with, I supposed that we would need the following download: * Windows Svr Std 2003 R2 32-bit/x64 English Disk Kit MVL MVLS Only ISO CD and then install this one: * Windows Svr Std 2003 w/SP1 32-bit/x64 English/MultiLang Disk Kit MVL CD However, since the latter download is not explicitly for R2, all the new management functions, programs, help files, etc, included in R2 were not translated into spanish, and remained in the original english. Is there any (or there will be any) MUI for R2 x64? By now, a have a server with a mixture of english/spanish. The basic behaviour of Win2003 Std w/SP1 is localised, but the new things included with R2 are in inglish. Might I need to install the MUI ##before## the second CD of R2? Honestly, I don't think that would make any difference. Regards and thanks in advance. Tag: Figure out bit architecture at runtime, windows 32/64 bit Tag: 29901

    - 64-bit drivers available for Shuttle PN15g and PN18 Shuttle have posted 64-bit drivers (XP) for their PN15g (*not* the PN15!) and PN18 Wireless kits. And the PN18 driver at least works just fine in Vista 5308. -- Steve Foster [SBS MVP] --------------------------------------- MVPs do not work for Microsoft. Please reply only to the newsgroups.

Hi,

I am trying to port a 32 bit windows app to 64 bit, but I need to
figure out what OS I am on at runtime, to be able to setup certain
parameters. I am using Visual Basic as well as Visual C++. Is there a
function call that will help me figure this out ?

Thanks a lot,
Amrita
