    - Adding an FTP network place Whenever I try to add an FTP site as a network place using the 'add network place' wizard, I get an error that says "The folder you selected does not appear to be valid, Please select another". It does this with any FTP URL. I have even tried cutting and pasting the provided example: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/ . Surely, this is a bug. Has anybody else experienced this? Any workarounds?

    - Question: Mounting partition to NTFS folder. Quirky? Hey all, I recently bought a 300GB SATA drive. It installed beautifully, I got the BIOS configured, Windows found drivers for the device without me even having to do anything, blah blah blah. I used the LDMS to split the drive into two partitions: the first is 200GB and the second is about 80GB (the rest being eaten by the Retail Hard Drive Size Exaggeration Monster). I then mounted the partition into an NTFS folder, and tried to copy some files. Unfortunately, the copy failed almost immediately, saying that the file could not be found. I found this odd, as the file was certainly there. So I tried to delete the folder it created. Explorer acted as if the folder were in use, saying Access Denied. I was very confused about this bizarre behavior. I have another partition on an IDE drive mounted into a folder, and it works great. I tried reformatting the partition again, changing the cluster size, making sure the cable was plugged in well, and (of course) rebooting. I also ran Scandisk, which found no errors. As a last resort, I mapped the drive to a drive letter (rather than a folder). To my great surprise, everything worked. The files I could not previously copy (it is worth noting that it was the same files each time which refused to copy) now copied perfectly, and I could delete the previously undeletable folders. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I remounted it into a folder. Bam, the same files refused to copy, and the folders gave Access Denied errors again. I really want to mount this partition in a folder. Can anyone give me hints as to what I might be doing wrong about this? Is it a SATA/IDE issue, since that's the only difference between the partition I have mounted to a folder and the ones which are failing? More standard info: -The SATA drivers I'm using are apparently included with Windows. My motherboard manufacturer does not have 64-bit drivers for the SATA interface. The motherboard is an nForce 3 chipset (MSI K8N Neo2). Thanks much, Nathan Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41682

    - x64 Beta Test Opportunity I realize that most of the folks here are basically end users - we don't get all that many Server questions, after all. But at least I'm reasonably sure you all have at least one x64 machine or are thinking about one. Which would be cool for some products, but here's a chance for those of you with some _serious_ hardware to get in on the ground floor of a new Microsoft server offering - code name is Centro, and a description and a link to apply for the beta are in Kevin Beares blog, here: http://blogs.technet.com/kevin_beares/archive/2006/10/24/so-what-is-centro-you-ask.aspx I know that if Kevin is running the beta, or heavily involved, it will be fun and we'll have good communications. But before you all go running over to his site, let me warn you up front. The MINIMUM requirement is 3 - x64 machines to use as servers, and at least two client machines. That's a serious hardware hurdle, but the result looks like it's going to be a really cool and interesting product. So, if you're interested, now is definitely the time to apply. I hope to see at least some of you there. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41672

    - Q: programmable restart of a 64-bit driver from a 32-bit application Hello, we have an application that need to restart network driver to apply configuration changes without restarting the system. We are using SetupDi* functions to do this. The 32-bits version of the application works fine on 32-bits system as well as 64-bits version works fine on the 64-bits Windows. But in case of 32-bits application on 64-bits system the SetupDiCallClassInstaller() function returns FALSE and reports 0xE0000235 code through GetLastError(). Is there a possibility to restart driver or just to propagate the setting changes to the driver from 32-bits application? Thanks in advance, Vladimir.

    - System hangs randomly during OS (XP x64) load My new system hangs during the Windows XP loading screen. When it does so, I do a hard restart. Then it will get past the Windows XP loading screen, but instead of getting the Welcome screen, it will restart on its own and then it will load the Welcome screen the third time. Additionally, I don't think that I can boot in to Safe Mode. This is the second computer I have built myself, and the first that I have used with a 64-bit operating system. I got XP with the upgrade coupon for Windows Vista Business, so I will completely reformat when I get the new OS. Maybe it will be more stable?

    - BSOD in ksthunk.sys when attempting kernel streaming audio Please provide any feedback regarding the feasibility of audio output by bypassing windows mixer and using either Kernel Streaming audio or ASIO4ALL drivers in WinXP Pro 64 bit. The objective is bitperfect SPDIF pass-through to to external AV receiver. I have been reading for 2 weeks everything available on the issue (very scarce info on x64 XP though), and attempted several OS **clean** installs, using official and non-official drivers, every time with the same result: blue screens caused by ksthunk.sys, immediately after either: a) using latest Winamp with kernel streaming output plugin, or b) attempting to run latest Asio4All offline settings panel However, the system can happily play via SPDIF Dolby Surround DVDs, AC3 xvid/divx, and some ac3 audio files (but not all ac3, neither Dolby or DTS wavs) using VLC, ffdshow and AC3 filter. Can XP Pro x64 do kernel streaming, or is it a hardware issue? If you need more details on the problem, I'd be happy to provide them.

    - Bugcheck: STOP 0x50 - Sanity: Losing Greetings everyone, This post is a follow-up to a previous post of mine from a while back, titled "System Crash - STOP 0x50", so firstly, if you want some extra background please quickly read that post! OK, this post is going to be fairly long, as I am going to lay out everything I know about the problem and have tried to rectify it, in the desperate hope someone can offer some help to solve the issue, because I am at my wits end. Issue Summary: I am getting STOP 0x50 bugchecks (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) frequently when doing certain tasks. Steps to reproduce: I have managed to pinpoint the exact activity required in order to cause the bugcheck. Namely, I must be running Winamp (v.5.32 - Current - x86) while also using WinImage (v.8.0.8000 - Current - x64). Winamp is a media player, as I'm sure most of you would be aware :) WinImage is a floppy image editing application, allowing the creation and modification of a diverse range of floppy disk image formats. Note that the bugcheck will not occur immediately, but will occur at some point during the continual concurrent use of these two applications. The time the bugcheck takes to manifest appears to be random, anywhere between 10 minutes and hours. I am still unsure if system uptime has any real impact on the time taken for the issue to manifest (e.g. quicker to crash after system has been up for 24+ hrs than from a fresh reboot). Hardware Information: The following is a list of the machines "critical" hardware. I have excluded minor components such as keyboard and mouse, as well as components highly unlikely to be the (potential) cause, such as hard-drives and optical-drives. Please feel free to request more detailed hardware information if you think it would help in any way! All of the below system components are running their latest respective drivers. ***Mainboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe ***Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ ***Memory: Kingston DDR 2x1024MB ***Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT ***Audio: Creative Audigy 4 System Configuration: The system is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 - Enterprise x64 Edition and is kept up-to-date with updates via the Microsoft Updates web-site and Automatic Updates. The system is configured to output kernel memory dumps, and has 4096MB of virtual memory. Troubleshooting Steps: 1. The system has had Windows Memory Diagnostics run in extended test mode for over 24 hrs straight with no errors recorded. 2. The system has had Stress Prime 2004 Orthos Edition v.0.41.110.18 run in blend mode (stress both CPU and RAM) for over 24 hrs straight with no errors recorded. For those unfamiliar with this program, it is based on Prime95 and adds a number of useful features, including dual core support. The test places the CPU and RAM of the system under extreme pressure, and is frequently used to stress test a machine to the maximum. 3. The system has had Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit installed for kernel memory crash dump analysis. This is way out of my league, as I have no expertise in the analysis of system memory crash dumps, but I have managed to gleam a number of useful bits of information from a basic analysis of the dumps. See below for further details. 4. The system has had Driver Verifier enabled with custom settings in an attempt to help isolate the problem (unsuccessful thus far). See below for further details. 5. The user has posted a desperate plea for help to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup ;) Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit: I have completed some very basic analysis of the kernel memory crash dumps through the use of WinDbg, and have made a few observations: ***Winamp.exe is always cited as the responsible process. However, if this is in fact true, I believe WinImage to be the "catalyst" for the bugcheck to occur, as I can run Winamp for seemingly any period of time without issue. It is only when used in conjunction with WinImage that the bugcheck occurs. ***The win32k!NtUserfnINDEVICECHANGE+0x1bb instruction is always listed as the ultimate culprit, and is always the final instruction in the stack trace before the page fault instructions. I have been desperately trying to find any information on this reference, yet have come up with nothing. Can anyone share any further light on this other than it's obvious implied function judging from its name? I have attached the latest debug output from WinDbg after running an !analyze -v on the latest crash dump, maybe someone much more qualified than I can gleam some more useful information from it? If anyone actually wants a copy of the crash dump, let me know, but I realise that's asking a lot. Driver Verifier: The Windows Driver Verifier has been enabled with custom settings as follows: ***Special pool ***Pool tracking ***Force IRQL checking ***All non Microsoft Corporation drivers have been selected for verification. Once again, this kind of tool is well out of my expertise, so I'm uncertain if these are "good" settings. Thus far, they haven't revealed anything interesting in the form of different bugcheck messages or different data during the analysis of the latest kernel memory crash dump. Random Thoughts: 1. I am 99% certain that the issue is not caused by a hardware problem. I draw this conclusion from two lines of reasoning; the system is able to successfully complete all diagnostics I have thrown at it, including ones involving extreme system stress, and the system is able to run Windows XP Professional (32-bit) without issue, which was the previous operating system in use. 2. I am beginning to wonder if the problem lies in win32k.sys itself, and is not a driver issue. This is mainly because I have had absolutely zero success in isolating the problem to a specific driver. However, I'm really not qualified to make that kind of conclusion, just voicing my thoughts. 3. Would changing the crash dump type to a complete memory dump be at all beneficial? Could it possibly reveal more through something as simple as the standard !analyze -v command in WinDbg? That about covers everything I can think up for now. Apologies for the length of this post, however, I'm just trying to provide as much information as possible in the hope some of it may lead to a solution. Thanks in advance for any help at all! -Samuel Denbigh Leslie Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41623

    - language bar is not working in x64 only I have installed Vista RTM enterprise version at work and home. At work I run a 32-bit machine and 64 bit at home.

    - Ghost menu's I have users who have problems with parts of their Windows XP x64 system appear when they are using a piece of software, by SolidWorks, they are on Solidworks 2007 x64 edition and using NVIDIA with a x64 bit driver that SolidWorks approves to work for their system. SolidWorks and NVIDIA swear it is WINDOWS, and it seems that it's a guessing game for who is responsible. Users often have problems where they select, say File, from the File Menu and part of that will NOT go away, you need to log off and on again for the window part or menu to go away. It ghosts and blocks all other windows. It stays there like you have a burned in image, but it is as if you still kept it. Sorta like how one window blocks another. It is on multiple people's system who have been used with Symantec Ghost, to create an exact copy of their system for network builds for our corporate network. It is strange.

    - X64, Quicken, Vista I realize I should post this in Quicken and/or Vista forums as well, but I figured I should start with the brain trust here, a bunch of truly smart people. I've got x64 and Vista (RC1 -- Build 5600) dual booting. The other day, I reinstalled Quicken on the Vista partition. Already had it working fine on x64. As best I could tell, Quicken was working fine on both OSes at first. I could open and save in x64 and then open in Vista and all the stuff I had updated while in x64 is updated in Vista. And vice versa. Now, however, Vista seems to be stuck on an old Quicken file, missing recent transactions, etc. I even tried opening the Quicken file while in Vista by double-clicking on the file that I KNOW is the working Quicken file and had just been updated while under x64. But it still brings up the old file (without the recent transactions). And when I closed out Quicken in Vista, that file remained unchanged (the date of the last revision remained the same). I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure Quicken saves a file you've opened up, even if you didn't make any changes in the file itself. So the modification date should have been different, but it wasn't. Anybody have any idea what might be going on here and what I might do to fix things? I'm not trying too many options right now, because I don't want to hose my Quicken file. The Vista and x64 "versions" of the file are about a week apart now. (I know, I know, I can back up the good file so that I'll have it on hand if I do hose it. It's just that I first discovered this problem a couple days ago, and what with Thanksgiving, etc, I haven't had a lot of time to futz with it.) Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41431

They're either condescending as hell or snooty like it's beneath them to have to read the posts they see, If you don't like the question, don't answer it, but don't make it look like the person asking it is a complete moron that shouldn't be allowed to type.

    - EDLIN in Windows Vista Hello! I've noticed that EDLIN is included in 32-bit Vista (as a 16-bit DOS app) Is it also part of 64-bit Vista (or XP x64)? Thanks, Roman Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41422

    - Outlook Express spelling check still doesn't work even with Office 2007 I understood that the Outlook Express spelling check on x64 would work when Office 2007 was released, I've upgraded to Office 2007 now and the spelling still doesn't work in OE. Have I missed something obvious or is the spelling never going to work in x64 OE? Peter Lawton Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41386

    - Buy 1 pack or 3 pack? (XP Pro x64) Hi: I have a dual opteron system, and I'm going to install XP Pro x64 on. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of different ways to buy it. I see that a OEM version is way cheaper, but I'm going to stay away from that. Also I see that I can get a 1 pack version, or a 3 pack. The one with 3 CD's is a lot more expensive. I can't find out why. My best guess is that the 3 pack has 3 licenses for 3 different computers. Am I right? Or is something else going on?

    - How can I know ....? could be a very easy question and answer, but I don't know. How could I know the SATA controller (driver) that are working with my two HD?? why this?? from my last question in this group, of course they are not connected to the Promise fast trak 378, but when the system was installed, I didn't as I was not at home and the computer crash with XP-32 with impossible recover (???), so I decide by phone to install my XP-64 with the technical service, that I received some week before the crashing, but I couldn't install as I was near to embark. in these leaves I decide to change to liquid cooling system and the video card, and I send to the tecnical service so they found in a trouble when they couldn't start the system, I took the computer to home and I plug it correctly and there was no problem at all. before this I tried to made a clean install of the xp-64 and when I inserted the FD of the SATA controller, everything was okay until XP told me that there was not HD connected, 2 of the same size and builder and well pluged. in device manager I have 3 SCSI and RAID controllers: Promise Fast Trak 378 (tm) controller (AMD64) ---> this is not. Promise RAID Console ??? VIA SATA RAID Controller ??? so, which one of these are controlling my HDs??, I have none RAID installed, is there any way to know it?? just in case I'll have to re-install the o.s. --- thanks in advance / Corsair Tag: XP x64 as a Host for Virtual Server Tag: 41365

    - How is Windows 2003 64? Hello, I haven't read any glowing reviews on Windows XP 64. I'm thinking about setting up an Exchange 2007 server soon but would like to know more about Windows Server 2003 64 first. Apps I typically run on servers Norton AV ( I realize some hate Norton, McAffee, Sophos) I've never had any issues with Norton that were as bad as the ones I've had with the other two so it is just a matter of choice.

Any info on why it is not recommended to run XP as the Production Host for
Virtual Server?

Not as a production host, no. Virtual Server is only supported on XP for
non-production use. You would need a Server version. (and x64 would be an
excellent choice in Server.)
