    - HP Colour Laserjet 5550hdn XP 64 drivers Hi all, running x64 on my laptop, everything working fine apart from the printer. HP's website lists three drivers for this printer for XP 64bit, but none of them will install. Looking at the inf files, I reckon they have been written for the old Itanium version of XP but HP's support engineers are too clueless to know. HP have asked me to try install on another machine but as I havent got one, can someone here, please confirm for me that the drivers dont install on x64 ? Cheers Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7385

    - x64 will not install My follow-up from Hitachi re the fact that on my system I cannot get the system to recognise the drive on return from Text mode. We have run into a few things that need to be mentioned while researching this issue. The operating system you are using is still in the beta stages which means there are most likely still some issues that need to be addressed. Hitachi GST has also not tested XP64 with any of our drives at this point so we cannot guarantee how well the drives will perform with that version of the operating system. We have also not yet tested your motherboard with the T7K250 drive to verify compatibility. That aside, we continued to research the issue you are experiencing.

    - Order time for x64 is absurd... I've had my copy ordered for well over a month now (after they finally accepted my PID/COA) and it's still stuck on "you will be charged when dispatched blah blah blah". The even better part is that the card I used to make the order will expire as of tomorrow because hey, let's face it, who expected to be waiting this long, and I will also probably be changing address soon. Will this mean waiting all over again..? Come on Microsoft. We could've gone out and bought OEM copies and have them delievered from overseas in less than half the time it is taking to get order requests to go through. Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7262

    - keyboard codes from external keys hi everybody, does anybody know a solution which does the following: a set of "normal" keyswitches (simple connectors) trigger some black-box-device which outputs keycodes to the PS2 keyboard socket. so my application could read these codes and behave accordingly. this is for the navigation on a fixed kiosk-system where there is a set of a few press-keys rather than a normal keyboard, and no mouse interactivity. thank you peter grambitter germany Tag: Lovely weirdness...

    - ordering XP x64 Is it just me or does the ordering system really suck?? I tried ordering by entering my PID and the date i bought the pc, but no luck, I get an error message saying Invalid COA format when I haven't entered anything under COA, and I get a Label error under PID. What on earth is a LABEL error supposed to mean?? (Worst error message ever) So I tried to email microsoft using their link to the support for ordering XP x64, it opens outlook 2000, i write the email and send it. Seconds later i have a new email This is an INVALID email address. WHAT kinda drugs are those people on?? No offence:p But could anyone tell me what i need to do if i haven't done it, or tell me an address that works. This is the address i used: To: 64bitupgrade@productorder.com Thanks Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7221

    - x64 will not boot after installing latest MS AntiSpyware I received an update notification to inform me that a new build of MS AntiSpyware was available. I duly downloaded and installed it. The installation asked for a restart. After the restart, I got the following message informing me that the \CONFIG\SYSTEM file was missing or corrupt. I assume that this registry hive is damaged. My question is really to ask whether the AntiSpyware installation could have caused this corruption, or is it pure coincidence? Any help on recovering the registry without having to do a complete reinstall would be much appreciated. BTW, I have tried to boot from the CD and do a repair install, but I suspect that the boot.ini file might be damaged also. Many thanks Mark Hartt-Palmer Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7212

    - Window refresh still doesn't work Pardon me if this is an old subject. I was disappointed to find that in WindowXP File Explorer, with files viewed as either Tiles or Icons, F5 (refresh) does not re-sort files by name. I was even more disappointed to find that it still doesn't work in XP64. Steps to recreate: In any explorer window with some files, select Arrange Icons By - Auto Arrange by Name and View as either Icons or Tiles. Files should be in alph. order. Drag a file or two out of order and press F5. Every Windows release prior to XP would put file back in order. Why is this still broke? Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7203

    - =?Utf-8?Q?IntelliMouse=C2=AE_Explorer_Not_xp64_?= Hello, I purchased a new 670 workstation with xp64 bit from Dell for my CG studies. I also decided on the IntelliMouseÂ® Explorer after researching for comfort and pracitality: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=003 Attempted to install the mouse software, and my system tells me that the mouse software is not supported by xp64bit??? I tried to check the website for updated software downloads, upon attempting to install the download, I got the same incompatibility error. I threw the box away becasue I didn't not anticipate a error like this since this mouse is very new. I was also trying to get support here: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?med=online&prid=3911&trl=so&enty=pid&gprid=35454&ln=en-us&c1=502&as=1 But it form won't except my PIN number for my mouse.

    - D-Link DSL 302g Driver I have just got Windows XP Pro x64 Ed, and it installed like a dream, all my drives IDE and SATA\RAID, My sound and display drivers are looking better than they did on XP 32bit. The only problem is that my ADSL modem DLINK DSL302g do not have any drivers out for x64, nor do I think they will in the future. So now I am stuck with a ADSL modem (connected via USB) that wont work, so I am forced to go back to 32bit XP if I want to use the internet etc..... Could someone please let me know if there are any ways around this issue or do I need to get another modem that does support x64??? What brands currently support x64????? Any information would be very helpful. Regards, Sten Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7174

    - X64 on Acer 5002 aspire laptop I just got this laptop today (really cheap too) http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as5000.htm it has an AMD 64 ML-30 turion processor at 1.6ghz but it comes with windows xp home. I was a bit skeptical when I bought it because nobody seemed to be using xp64 on it. The 80gb hd comes in two fat 32 partitions, I installed xp64 on the second one (converted to ntfs). Installation was smooth and uneventful. The hardware on laptop was broadcom 802.11g network adapter -> still searching for drivers Realtek AC`97 audio -> I found and installed the 64bit drivers Texas Instruoments PCI-1410 cardbus -> drivers installed by xp64 Sis 900 based pci-fast ethernet -> drivers installed by xp64 Slimtype DVDRW SOSW-833S -> drivers installed by xp64 SIS M760GX (graphics) -> to my surprise sis had a 64bit driver for it! yay :) http://www.sis.com/download and follow the step by step. Agere Systems AC`97 modem -> don't use it, so don't care. So the Acer Aspire 5002WLMI can run xp64 if anyone wanted to know. I heard the 5020 was a better laptop tho, I think it uses an x700 graphics card Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7173

    - No internet access I recently installed Windows x64 without problem and now have a dual boot system with XP Pro on a separate partition. At first the internet connection worked fine on both OS's but now I cannot connect when using x64 (although still OK on XP Pro). I connect via a Belkin ADSL wireless router which can find the network (but not connect to the internet) when using manual settings but cannot find the network when using automatic connection (cannot rtenew IP adddress). The manual settings I have used for X64 are the same as those used (and which work) for XP pro: IP Address: 192.168.2.3 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.2,1 DNS Server 192.168.2.1 Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

    - Oracle ODBC Driver for Win XP 64 I need an oracle ODBC driver to connect a Windows XP 64 desktop to an Oracle 9i database running on a Windows 2000 Server. I have tried MDAC 2.8 SP1 install but it wouldn't run in Win XP 64. I also tried MDAC 2.8 and MDAC 2.7 SP1; they installed but when you go into Data Sources (ODBC) drivers tab only the SQL Server driver Lists. I went to Oracle site and downloaded and installed Oracle ODBC for RDB 3.1.0.2.0; Install appeared successful but no Oracle Driver lists in the Data Sources (ODBC) drivers tab. In the past I have always just installed MDAC and the Oracle Driver was there. Is there an Oracle ODBC driver from Microsoft or Oracle for Win XP 64? If so, is there some trick to make the ODBC driver installed show up under the drivers tab? Thank you. Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7113

    - Is It Legal? Is it legal for someone to sell XP corporate to an individual on an auction site? It seems like an inexpensive way to load XP on a bunch of your home PCs.

    - When the TAP Disk Arrives (Hey, somebody wake up the old guy in the corner burning those cd's). Once we do our clean install and register/activate what will happen to the 32 bit system...assuming it is an actively running OS. Will it just blow up, stop booting or some sort of New and Improved "BSOD". How will those in power find the OS? By CD-Key? Suppose I acquired another OEM copy of XP Pro, could I just change the CD-Key or would I have to do another clean install? Just thinking ahead, trying to be proactive... Again, being an optomist, I am assuming the TAP will be shipped some time this millennia :) Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7064

    - WIN PE for x64 with 32-Bit Environment Hello, I have successfully manufactured my WinPE-CD for x64 with 64-Bit Kernel and the Additional Components like ADO, HTA and WSH. It works fine. But from an earlier WINPE 32-Bit I use customised tools based on 32-Bit ( with 32-Bit-Dll's) Is there a chance to emulate the 32-Bit environment on the x64 Win PE as it is on the finished Win XP x64 Installation? (SYSWOW64) If yes, what to do? Which Dll's must be loaded, on which way the setup.hiv has to manipulate? What else to do? I know, the easier way is to compile the necessary Dll's to 64-Bit, but i haven't the sources. Many thanks, best regards, Joachim Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7063

    - Lose data? I have a RAID 0 array which i currently have partitioned and managed to install the Windows x64 beta on a while ago, but I'm just wondering if when I try to install the full Windows x64 will it try and erase the entire array again? As when i installed the trial, it deleted all the partitions on there and all my data was unrecoverable. Or is it possible to get it to reformat JUST that one partition that the trial is on and install on that?? Backing up 300GB is not really an option, btw, as i don't have enough money for another set of disks atm. Thanks Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7053

    - Setting onboard soundcard to 6 channel Hi All, I'm running Windows XP x64 quite nicely on my system. The motherboard is an MSI K8N SLI Platinum edition. The only problem I am having is with the onboard soundcard (Creative Live 24-bit). It does support all the way up to 8 channel sound, but I can't find a way to set it. The issue seems to be that the supplied software for the board (DigiCell or something like that) won't run correctly on XP x64, and there are no BIOS settings or anything that can be set. As such, I'm stuck with only 2 channel sound, and I really want to set it to 6 channel. Anyone know of a work-around? I contacted MSI, and they basically gave me the brush-off. Cheers & thanks, Brendan. Tag: Lovely weirdness... Tag: 7019

    - Intel's Celeron takes the 64-bit route Intel released a 64-bit processor for mainstream PCs on Monday, putting the company a month ahead of rival AMD, which is expected to come out with a chip of the same capacity in July. Intel's new Celeron D 351 is the heir-apparent to the current Celeron D S775 processor series. The two chips are nearly identical, apart from the addition of 64-bit processing technology, which Intel calls EM64T.

So, I go th print to the HP LJ1200 attached to the Netgear PS110 print
server. This worked yesterday. Today, it says the printer is offline, and
clicking Use Printer Online brings back an Operation could not be completed
error. Delete the printer from Printers and Faxes, reinstall, printer is
back and working. I'm not looking for any help on this, since the fix is
obvious, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else having similar
