    - 3800+ x2 I have an AMD 3800+ x2, and in the control panel it is showing just one proccesor. It does show it as a dual core in the description, but only one proccesor instead of 2 proccesors (like in xp). Is this normal or do I have problem?

    - Change in signing policy for 64-bit drivers for Vista and Longhorn If you are not aware of it Microsoft announced a change in its policy on drivers for 64-bit Vista last week. See the paper at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/64bit/kmsigning.mspx The change here is that prior to this while drivers needed to be signed an administrator could sign a driver for a computer or a domain. Many people in the driver development community are disturbed by this change since makes it harder for a small firm to ship and support drivers. In particular a lot of the freeware tools that have a kernel component will probably never make it to Vista 64-bit. Also, I know of small firms that are reconsidering their product plans for Vista. For those who want to see the discussion in the driver development community, go to http://www.osronline.com and sign up for the NTDEV newgroup, then look for "X64 Windows Vista to require signed drivers" At the end of the paper is the feedback email address for this stuff. If enough of us make rational comments to that address, Microsoft may realize there is a problem. -- Don Burn (MVP, Windows DDK) Windows 2k/XP/2k3 Filesystem and Driver Consulting Remove StopSpam from the email to reply Tag: Install XP Pro 64bit on external HD Tag: 26575

    - Network not showing up I have Win 64 running on an AMD64 3200 chip and connected to a Workgroup via a hard wire connection. Initially, I could see the other computers on the network and everything seemed fine. However, lately when I go to My Network Places or attempt in any other way to view the network computers nothing shows up. The window is completely blank as if there was nothing out there. Are there known issues with the networking on Win 64? How do I figure out what is going wrong? Thanks Tag: Install XP Pro 64bit on external HD Tag: 26551

    - User Profiles Hi, I am finally thinking about moving from the 32-bit XP to the 64-bit. Has it gotten any better? I gave the initial 64-bit beta test a shot going back a few years ago , maybe 2 years or so ago, and it was a "nightmare" nothing worked right due mainly to the fact that it was indeed still in Beta but also because the drivers for the hardware just were not there. Has the situation gotten any better? Another thing I know it is impossible to do an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit so I was wondering if anyone has any tips that might be useful if I went through with the transition. Another thing what are the limitations between user profiles in the 32-bit environment and the 64-bit environment what kind of issues do you think would arise if a user was to copy the user profile from a 32-bit environment over to a 64bit? I know that the shortcuts present in the profile won't work until the programs associated with them are reinstalled and the shortcuts are re linked to their respective apps. Thanks for any help!

    - Merge 32 and 64bit edition in one distribution! Why are there two different editions to choose from? I have heard MS continues this 'freedom' in Vista. Wouldn't it be simpler to pack both editions on a DVD and build a nice installer to choose the right edition for your System? Otherwise, Vista x64 will become something like the 'pro x64 edition'. (A year 2005 flop, poor driver support and 50% WoW) Ask your relatives if they know the difference! Thy will buy the 'works with all Systems' edition.

    - News: Windows Vista x64 To Require Signed Drivers "For Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows family of operating systems, kernel-mode software must have a digital signature to load on x64-based computer systems. This paper describes how to manage the signing process for kernel-mode code for Windows Vista, including how to obtain a Publisher Identity Certificate (PIC), guidelines for protecting keys, and how to sign a driver package by using tools that are provided in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). Why digital signatures? For both consumer and enterprise users of Windows around the world, protecting personal and corporate data remains a top concern. Microsoft is committed to implementing new ways to help restrict the spread of malicious software. Digital signatures for kernel-mode software are an important way to ensure security on computer systems. Digital signatures allow the administrator or end user who is installing Windows-based software to know whether a legitimate publisher has provided the software package. When users choose to send Windows Error Reporting data to Microsoft after a fault or other error occurs, Microsoft can analyze the data to know which publishers' software was running on the system at the time of the error. Software publishers can then use the information provided by Microsoft to find and fix problems in their software."

    - Logging into XP. I just put my system together and it was working fine under the administrator account. I set everything up and it has been working. After updating the security updates and creating user accounts, I can't log into xp anymore. I get the audio that it's loading but it freezes either on the welcome screen or the desktop picture without any icons or start menu. Take that back, it doesn't freeze, it take 5+ minutes to load settings. What is causing this, I repaired the install with the CD and it seamed to work fine until I downloaded the updates. There are 21 updates that I'm downloading. Most of them are Critical security updates. Any help will be appreciated. Tag: Install XP Pro 64bit on external HD Tag: 26356

    - X64 is worth the effort. Yes! X64 is worth the effort. Many thanks to "planetamd64.com", Andre, Augie, Barb, Carlos, Charlie, Christian, Darryl, John, Mike and too many others to name. I started with the CPP version that had the Windows 2000 look with very few drivers available. At that time it was a daily search for drivers with very little support from manufacturers, except Nvidia, using the excuse that the operating system wasn't a released version, now that x64 is released the excuse is that they're waiting for Vista to be released. I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops that are using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition exclusively, all are currently dual boot with x86 but the only time x86 is opened is to verify that everything is updated. The operating system is very stable. The best advice is from Charlie to research first and determine if x64 is for you. For me the only time x64 is an advantage is for video capture and editing. Like John I have a few old programs that don't work but when I want to use them I boot into x86. I use an USR 5610B modem for faxing documents, Epson CX3800 works for printing and scanning, Retrospect 7 works for backup or disk images, Leadtek TV2000 XP expert works for TV and video capture, ShowShifter for watching TV (unless Media Encoder 9 64-bit is installed), Zenet ZEW1601 wireless LAN (Ralink chipset) works, both laptops have Broadcom wireless that work.

    - Installing xp x 64 bit Trial... Help needed Hi All, I have Athlon 64 dualcore 3800, 300gb, 2gb DDR, Asus A8N Mobo, Nvidia GeoForce 6800. Windows Media Centre 2005 windows xp Home sp2 all updates. No worms, spyware,malware, viruses, trojans etc etc. I have just downloaded the xp x 64 pro trial from MS 558 mb and as per instructions burnt it to a disc. I tried using the setup file but it tells me that i need to boot from the disc. I tried but it will not boot from the disc, I have changed the boot priority from hd to cd drive but still nothing, it still boots into windows as if nothing was in the cd drive. I only have a C drive at the moment but I do have partition magic, do I need to create a partition to install the trial? What is stopping me from installing the trial? Could somebody take me through the procedure Please. Another problem that I have is that I am using a 26" HD TV as my monitor and it doesn't show the boot sequence, it only shows when I arrive at the Login screen why is this? This means that I have to change to my smaller pc monitor whenever I want to do anything with the bios settings or boot sequence. Tag: Install XP Pro 64bit on external HD Tag: 26334

    - windows will freeze after I leave it alone I have been having this problem recently where the computer will not respond after being left alone for awhile. The screensaver will have turned on and have frozen and it will not come back for keyboard or mouse. In fact, the keyboard doesn't even respond (e.g. you can't turn on caps etc.). I have also tried to do this with no screensaver and having the monitor turn off after 10 minutes. This also produces the same problem, just with no screen to look at. I have to leave my computer for long periods for classes during the day and would prefer not having to turn it off every time. Any help would be awesome!

    - x64 vs Vista I'm planning on building a new PC in the next few weeks, I'll make it 64-bit ready but I don't know whether I should go with x64 now, or use the Win 2K license I already have and upgrade to Vista when it becomes available. Will Vista be available in 64 bit on its release, sometime after its release or are there no current plans for a 64 bit Vista? Will Vista be a viable upgrade path from x64 or not?

    - Antivirus - Avast Sucks! But I knew that already I have been running Avast Home Edition since x64 Beta two Novembers ago. So I have been using it for over a year. It's always cherrily announcing to me after a reboot (after hanging up at shutdown, of course :): "Virus Database Has Been Updated!" Yay. I was extremely skeptical at first. I had previously recommended and installed the Win32 versions of Avast for clients, and they were the ones to get infected, whereas my other clients running other AV were okay. So I stopped installing it. So when I found out that they were the only ones to make something x64 compatible, after trying to get ClamWin and others working, I did give it another try. Well, I got a letter in the mail from my internet provider today, that I was sending out SPAM and to check my machine for infections. If it was to continue, my service would be suspended. So i went to Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com) which now works in Firefox, using Java. And lo and behold, I had quite a few it seems (see attachment JPGs). So I did some digging, as I really dont want to go to Norton or McAfee, and Trend Micro (which has been screwing up lately as well) doesnt make a x64 version as of yet. And I did find that the free ones, like Avast and AVG are in the 'You get what you pay for' category, which I pretty much suspected, but was a dumbass about it. Now as I search for more conclusions, I find what I needed to know months ago... Virus Bulletin ran a test of the various AV and came up with these results, which reflect my experience (with the exception of Norton and McAfee): http://www.techsupportalert.com/free-vs-paid-av.htm So I guess I have to now try Nod32? Anybody can vouch for that over Avast besides eset themselves? How long have you been using it? On what platforms? compared to what? and what's your conclusion at this time? http://www.eset.com/news/VB100Award34.pdf x64 limited Antivirus options: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1791224,00.asp Thanks.

    - WMP repair without doing a complete reinstall of Windows 64 I am using the Action Pack version of Windows 64 but somehwo my WMP is corrupted I have tried uninstalling it using ADD/Remove to no avail as it seems to just hide unhide it. and tried using SFC /SCANNOW also is not fixing it. Of course there is no stand alone installer for WMP on the MS site even although it tires going there to reinstall. That being said it also seems to be effecting my install of NERO 7 (seems dependant for its media tools on MWP). So I guess I am asking any chance on getting a standalone repair/installer for windows 64 or advice on how to force WMP to fix itself without reloading the complete OS? If reloading is the only choice I guess I will have to live with it but was hoping osmeone here would know a trick. eX Tag: Install XP Pro 64bit on external HD Tag: 26182

Can this be done?

It's easier to buy an external hard drive than have wait to have an internal
one installed since installing an internal one myself will void my warranty.

I suppose it's possible, but it would take a suitable driver that the
installer can see, and it would, unless the external is connected via SATA,
not be terribly fast.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll put in a new internal and just dual boot
the machine with x64 on the D drive.

Good idea. That's the way I'd proceed.
