    - Window information popup hiding If I put the mouse curor over the items in the systray, I can see the very top of the information popup. The rest of the popup window is hiding behind the taskbar. The only one that does not do this is for my network connection which is the first one on the left side in the systray. Is there something I can do to raise these? I am using XP64. Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42637

    - gdi32.dll program hang returns Well, it's back. Photoshop 6 hangs up in gdi32.dll. Open Office delivers some cryptic message. Digging through the MS website, I see there is a version of gdi32.dll dated August 2, 2006, but you need to request it directly from Microsoft. Does anyone know what is contained in the X64 service pack II beta? Here is the info on the August version of this dll, though it doesn't seem related to my problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923630 On this page http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/t22822.html you can find a similar problem with photoshop and the gdi32.dll being describes, though the poster believes it is related to timing issues. [Sounds like an overclocker, but the problem sound similar to mine) --------- I've got the tRC set at 11/13 now (which have been the most stable timings to date), and after running photoshop, closing it and opening it about 3 times...on the 4th time I got event ID 1000 error:Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 7.0.0.0, faulting module gdi32.dll, version 5.2.3790.2615, fault address 0x00020f94. --------------- So is there a way to get Gdi32.dll 5.2.3790.2762 without making a request directly to microsoft?

    - MI5 Persecution: .net magazine article net magazine article March/1998 Britain's .net Magazine featured my website on page 17 of their March 1998 issue (number 42). They quote from the "FAQ" pages, and also include some details of the evidence I have tried to present on my website. The age of some of the material on the website shows in this review, which says the case "has been discussed in uk.* newsgroups during the past year". At this time (March 1998) it has been discussed on uk.misc for three years, and there are still occasional traces of the discussion going on. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42558

I had to upgrade the BIOS of the motherboard to 1.04a (beta) to support the video card, and I am running the new nVidia beta drivers for the 8800 GTX in x64. Some gamess will not work correctly, and some stuff will not install. For example, I can not install the new Futuremark 1.10. I was just wondering whether others are having similar problems.

    - Something is hijacking explorer Why does it just so happen that i have to reinstall Vista RC1 every three days? Because on the third day, every time the computer is started, it renders itself unusable by way of 100% CPU usage. I finally checked on the problem, using sysinternal process explorer, and sure enough, explorer.exe takes up 90% of the CPU. It only starts doing this after about three days. Everytime the computer starts it automatically gets slammed to 100% usage, and this is an AMD Athlon 64, not some junk. After about twenty minutes explorer.exe will calm down to 4% like it should, until i open any folder then it shoots right back up to 100%. It is NOT hardware related as it works fine for three days. My index rating is 4.1 and all drivers are updated and perfect, so there is no way it is hardware related. Any one else having this explorer.exe problem? And yes all software i am using is on the compatibility list with the latest updates. Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42543

    - Odd reboot on start-up (but fixed) I haven't used my x64 for a week, and this morning I was booting it, and it came to the section after where you see the Windows-logo, and then popped-up a message for a split-second, and rebooted again, doing the same thing over and over. The message said something about lsass.exe and password. So I wanted to log-in via the Recovery Console, but could not log-in there, because the Admin password was wrong. Odd, as I had not changed it. So I went searching for ways to reset the password, and one was to delete the SAM-files in system32/config. I booted from x32, went to the x64 partition, and oddly enough I noticed the file called "security" was living twice in that folder, but one was called "securXXX", where the XXX where some Chinese characters. I renamed the one called "security" to "security.org" and in the other one removed the Chinese characters and changed them to "ity", reboot, and hey presto, working again :-D It might have been a corrupt disk, or corrupt FAT or something. I ran a chkdsk, but it did not find any problems. So, my problem got fixed, but I thought I would just share it with you. I wish all those celebrating the upcoming one, a Happy New Year!!!! Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese etc, your's will come soon again :-)) jud Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42508

    - gdi32.dll program hang (the ghost in the machine) I've got this periodic problem with gdi32.dll on X64 (AMD 64 4400 ). Every once in a while, my PC gets in this mode where three programs (Open Office Calc, Photoshop 6, and Vuescan) crash. Only Photoshop 6 gives me the clue that the problem is due to gdi32.dll. Two questions: 1) <http://securitydot.net/vuln/exploits/vulnerabilities/articles/18330/vuln.html> claims there is a potential to create a DOS attack using gdi32.dll. Now I'm not running a server, and I am behind a firewall router, but any chance there is a virus in gdi32. 2) I've been waiting for sp2 to be released. What are the risks of installing the beta.

    - Express Upgrade to Vista 64bit Hi I`m contemplating buying the Windows XP 64-bit version from komplett.co.uk which includes an upgrade coupon to Vista when its released. My understanding is if you buy Windows XP 64-bit you get an upgrade to 64-bit Vista Business. I have one question however I`m buying a new CPU/Motherboard around the same time and I might get the CPU from komplett at the same time. Does this qualify me as an "authorised system builder" or is this offer only available to dell, HP etc in which case why are komplett selling these operating systems to Joe Bloggs with upgrade coupons which could be useless? Anyone know the exact truth about this can I build a home PC with a new CPU bought from the same place as the Windows XP 64bit with upgrade coupon and does the e-reciept of this qualify me as an "authorised system builder" or do I have to be Dell, HP Acer etc It says Windows XP 64-bit has to be preinstalled by the system builder ie me in order to qualify for the upgrade but that is no problem obviously . Cost is about £ 75 + £ 8 pnp for Vista upgrade when its released. Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42469

To upgrade, you must be running Winsows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), or Windows Vista". Has anyone upgraded XPx64 to Vista x64? -Mark Dranoff Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42455

    - x64 fast outbound - slow inbound net traffic I have a GA K8N-SLI mobo using x64, all patches, latest GA and NVidia drivers. Somewhere along the way the network has been damaged so that transfers outbound to an XPX86 system run at full speed, but transfers back run at roughly 10% of the outbound (100base) xfer rate. Using the X64 system, VOIP speed tests on the ADSL report 234 kbps up, but only 225 kbps down on the 1500 mbps link. The X86 system gets close to full bandwidth on the ADSL in both directions, and has a K8N-9 mobo, so it looks like the X64 system. I have switched out the firewall-routers and the ADSL modem without change in behavior, I have also used the tweakers to set XP buffer sizes - while the buffer sizes make modest improvements it still is not close to being "right." I also occassionally get the network "disconnected" followed immediately by a "connected" message. Since the reconnect is instantaneous it is an annoyance rather than a problem. I uninstalled the nVidia firewall; uninstalled all the nVidia drivers via control panel, and reinstalled the latest nVidia drivers without the firewall. I am using ghostwall now, Windows firewall disabled. Any further ideas? Thanks, Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42442

    - Dual boot with windows XP Pro 64 Bit and Vista Ultimate 32 Bit I have a Dell Inspriron E1705 Desktop running Intel Duo 2 Core T2500 at @2.00 GHz with 2 Gig of memory. The hard drive is 91.75 GB. When it came from Dell, it had a 47 MB EISA Configured partition for Dells' diagnostic tools, a 4.93 GB Primary partition with Dells disk restoration program and the remaining 86.5 GB was in a primary partition. I spilt the primary partition into a 39. GB Primary partition for Windows XP PRO Media Center 2005 and a 47.5 GB logical partition onto which I installed Windows Vista Ultimate RC2. I am quite happy with the way Vista Ultimate performs on the laptop. I did not think to download the 64 bit version when it was available, so I've downloaded the trial version of Windows XP Pro 64 Bit and would like to install it on the partition that currently holds XP Pro Media Center, replacing Media Center with XP Pro 64 bit. I want to see how a 64 bit OS works on the laptop before Vista becomes available to the public. If I format the 39 GB primary partition which holds Media Center to install XP 64 Bit, will I loose the capability to boot into Vista on the logical partition? From what I've read on these news groups, I can not "upgrade" to XP 64 Bit, but must do a clean install. If I do loose the ability to boot to Vista after the format of the primary partition, can I do a repair using the RC2 DVD to restore the boot files? Thanks in advance for any help.

    - MI5 Persecution: harassment at work -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= harassment at work -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Once I stopped watching television and listening to the radio at the end of 1990, "they" had to find other ways of committing abuses. So they took what must be for them a tried and tested route; they get at you by subversion of those around you. Since they wouldn't be able to do that with my family or friends, that meant getting at people in the workplace to be their mouthpieces and do their dirty work for them. They supplied my employers in Oxford with details from what was going on in my private life, and what I and other people had said at my home and accommodation in Oxford. So people at work repeated verbatim words which had been said in my home, and repeated what I'd been doing recently. Often the most trivial things, the ones from your domestic life, are the ones which hurt most. One manager in particular at Oxford continuously abused me for ten months with verbal sexual abuse, swearing, and threats to terminate my employment. After ten months I was forced to seek psychiatric help and start taking medication, and was away from work for two months. I spoke later with a solicitor about what had happened at that company; he advised it was only possible to take action if you had left the company as a result of harassment, and such an action would have to be started very soon after leaving. Over a year later the same manager picked on another new worker, with even more serious results; that employee tried to commit suicide with an overdose as a result of the ill-treatment, and was forced to leave his job. But he didn't take action against the company, either. Abuse at work is comparable to that elsewhere in that tangible evidence is difficult to produce, and the abusers will always have their denials ready when challenged. And even if a court accepts what you say happened, it still remains to prove that abuse causes the type of breakdown I had at the end of 1992. In a recent case before a British court, a former member of the Army brought a case against others who had maltreated him ten years previously. Although the court accepted that abuse had occurred, it did not agree that depressive illness necessarily followed, and denied justice to the plaintiff. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42411

    - MI5 Persecution: why the security services? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= why the security services? -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You may ask, why do I think the "they" referred to are the security services? Is there any evidence that there is a single source, as opposed to a loosely based "whispering campaign" amongst many people? Even if there is a single source, is there any evidence that "they" are professional "buggers" as opposed to amateurs, or perhaps people working for a privately funded organization? a) As to the question of a single source versus something more fragmented; it is quite obvious that there is a single source from the way the campaign has been carried out. Since things have been repeated verbatim which were said in my home, there must be one group which does the watching and listening. Since on several occasions (mainly during travel) people have been planted in close proximity and rehearsed in what they were to say, it follows that someone must have done the planning for that, and again a single source is indicated. b) So why couldn't it be amateurs? Why couldn't it be a private organisation, for example a private detective agency paid to manage the campaign and undertake the technical aspects? Some detective agencies are unscrupulous as has been proved on the occasions in the past when they've been exposed or caught; they too can have access to the bugging technology deployed; and there are reported cases of MI5 paying private eyes to do their dirty work (against peace campaigners and similar enemies of the state) on the understanding that if they were caught then they could deny all knowledge. Why couldn't that be the case? The main factor pointing to direct security service involvement (as opposed to amateurs or MI5 proxies) is the breadth of their access to the media in particular, and the fact that the television companies are so involved in the campaign. The BBC would not directly invade someone's home themselves, since it would not be within their remit to allocate personnel or financial resources to do so. An organisation of their stature would not take part in a campaign set up by private sources. The only people they would take material from would be the security services, presumably on the assumption that if the cat ever flew out of the bag yowling it would be MI5 who would take the consequences. State sponsorship for these acts of psychological terrorism is also indicated by duration; support for over six years for a team of three or four people would be beyond the means and will of most private sources. The viciousness of the slanders and personal denigration also points to MI5; they traditionally "protect" the British state from politicians of the wrong hue by character assassination, and in this case are using their tried and tested methods to murder with words an enemy they have invented for themselves. And there are precedents. Diana and Hewitt were alleged to have been filmed "at it" by an Army intelligence team which had operated in Northern Ireland, these allegations were made by someone called Jones who had been on the team. His statements were denied by the defence establishment who tried to character-assassinate by describing him as the "Jones twins". Funny how if you tell the truth, then you must be ill, isn't it? Thought only communists behaved like that? Hewitt later said that he'd been spoken to by someone in the army who revealed the existence of videotapes of him and Diana, and that the tapes would be published if any attempt was made by them to resume their association. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42410

    - MI5 Persecution: their methods and tactics -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= MI5: methods and tactics -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= They deliberately set out to harass in a way that would resemble the symptoms of schizophrenia, so that any report of the harassment would be taken as indicating mental illness and "treated" accordingly. They never show their own faces; they only work through proxies, in the media, among the public, and by manipulating people in the workplace. Since they do not declare their identity there is no evidence to initiate legal action against the security services or anyone else. The only people you can prosecute are the proxies and they will deny knowledge of any conspiracy. By repeatedly humiliating and abusing the victim, they induced mental illness. This is the worst form of human rights violation: making any statement of the harassment appear to be symptomatic of the illness which they cause through the harassment. That this can happen, and people collude by silence, is absolutely horrifying. From the beginning in June 1990 they set a pattern of harassment which they have followed without change for the last six years. They paint me as a "threat" to which people must "react" (shades of Nazi persecution methods), while simultaneously portraying their hate campaign on which they have spent over a million pounds of taxpayers? money as a "joke". The MI5 that breaks the law with the silent complicity of the police is the same agency that is now seeking a role in the fight against crime. Perhaps the real joke is the proposed involvement in the implementation of justice of an organisation which commits criminal acts with secrecy and disinterest for the legal process. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42409

    - MI5 Persecution: abuse in set-up situations and in public -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= abuse in set-up situations and in public -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Strangers in the street have recognized me on sight many times, and shown awareness of the current thread of abuse. To give you one example, in 1992 I was seriously ill, and a manager at work somewhat humorously said that "it wasn't fair" that people were bullying me. A few days later, I attended for the first time a clinic in London as an outpatient, and on my way out was accosted by someone who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis on the word "fare". He repeated the word several times in this different context; that they should have paid my "fare", each time emphasizing the word. For two and a half years from the time their harassment started until November 1992 I refused to see a psychiatrist, because I reasoned that I was not ill of my own action or fault, but through the stress caused by harassment, and that a lessening of the illness would have to be consequent to a removal of its immediate cause, in other words a cessation of harassment. I also reasoned that since they were taunting me with jokes about mental illness, if I were to seek treatment then the abusers would think that they had "won" and been proved "right". Remember, the constant theme of any persecution is, "we must destroy you because you're X", whether X is a racial or other attribute. In this case the X was "we persecute you because you have brain disease". The similarity of this logic to Nazi attitudes to the mentally ill is striking. The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair" asked me in winter 1992 why I didn't seek help from a psychiatrist; was it, he asked, because "they would think they had won" if I sought treatment? That was something I'd never said at work... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many such things over a period of months proves conclusively that people in the company knew what was going on, and in quite a lot of detail. Usually harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your fare". Most people's imagination does not go beyond moronic parroting of the current term of denigration. That is not surprising given the average level of the abusers; if they do not have the intelligence to distinguish wrong from right then neither will they have the capacity for anything other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic term calculated to fit into their minds. The first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in the summer of 1990, although they increased in frequency and venom with time. In July 1990 the first public incident occurred on a tube train on the Northern line. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the women sprang to my defence, saying "He looks perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill". Their boyfriends of course knew better, and followed the party line; one of them made reference to an "operation", apparently to work at the tube station but implicitly to a visit that I had made to hospital a couple of weeks previously. In August 1990 going home from college, soon after getting on a tube train at Gloucester Road I was followed by a group of four youths, who started a chant of abuse. That they were targeting me was confirmed by other people in the carriage, one of whom asked the other "who are they going on at, is it the bloke who just got on?" to which the second replied "yes, I think so". I was tempted to reply, but as in every other instance the abusers are enabled in their cowardice by physically outnumbering the abused; any confrontation would result in my being beaten up, followed by a complaint to the police that "he attacked us", and of course he's ill, so he must have been imagining that we were getting at him. Shitty, aren't they? But the shittiness of the four youths on the tube train is as nothing compared to the episode on the National Express coach to Dover in the summer of 1992. While going on holiday to the Continent I was verbally set upon by a couple travelling sitting a few rows behind. The boy did the talking, his female companion contributing only a continuous empty giggling noise. He spoke loudly to ensure other people on the coach heard, always about "they" and "this bloke" but never naming either the abusers or the person he was talking about. He said "they" had "found somebody from his school, and he was always really stressed at school". They must have dug deep to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped out of school, someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous and keen to get their own back? The boy also said "he was in a bed and breakfast for only one night and they got him". By a not unexpected coincidence I had been in a B&B in Oxford a week previously, which had been booked from work; other things lead me to the conclusion that the company's offices were bugged for most of the 2 1/2 years that I was there, so "they" would have known a room in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll bet "they" didn't tell the company's managers their offices were bugged, did they?). After a few minutes of this I went back to where they were sitting and asked where they were travelling. The boy named a village in France, and the girl's giggling suddenly ceased; presumably it permeated to her brain cell what the purpose of the boy's abuse was. This and other set-up situations are obviously calculated to provoke a direct confrontation which would bring in the police, with the abusers claiming that they were the ones attacked. Again in 1992, outside the house where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of me about, "I heard he was attacked". The UK police have a responsibility for preventing assault occurring, but they do not seem to take any interest in meeting that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is that harassment does not come within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and they will only become involved once that happens. That is of course quite the wrong attitude for them to take, but as I now understand, the police investigate only the crime they wish to investigate; if they do not take your complaints seriously then there is nothing you can do to make them take action. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42402

    - MI5 Persecution: how and why did it start? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= how and why did it start? -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone must have been there at the outset to give it a firm push and set the "animals" after me. It looks as if I was set up in June 1990, and the timing indicates someone from university was responsible. >One thing which has been missing from this discussion is this simple >prognosis: that maybe he is right and that, despite his admitted >mental condition, there really is a campaign against him organised by >now-influential ex-students of his university. In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman on Radio 1 read out a letter from someone who had known me for a few years, who wrote of the one who "wore out his welcome with random precision" (from the Pink Floyd song). Freeman went on to say to the writer "that's a hell of a letter you wrote there". The indication is strongly that people I had parted from soon before nursed a grudge against me and were trying to cause trouble for me. The suggestion is that Freeman might have shown the letter to other people, and things could have snowballed from there. Right from the start the real source (security services presumed) didn't announce themselves as the origin, but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they were the originators. Think about it; if you announce, "we're MI5 and we have a campaign against this bloke" then people might not go along with it; but if you say, "everyone else is getting at this bloke because he 'deserves' it" then people will join in with fewer qualms. >Why would "they" wish to assassinate your character? It's the classic case of hitting a cripple to prove you're stronger. Why would the security services expend hundreds of thousands of pounds and more than six years of manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because they are motivated by people who knew me at university and feel personal animosity; because they knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is in the nature of bullies to prey on those known to be weak; and because they can rely on the complicity of the establishment, which the security services manipulate and derive funding from. This is England's biggest humiliation today, and the British security services are intent on preventing their humiliation becoming reality by continuing their campaign of attempted murder to suppress the truth from becoming public. 552 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42376

    - Vista Upgrade.... I'm quite confused over where excatly I stand on upgrading to an x64 version of Windows Vista. I purchased an OEM version of XP Professional X64 from ebuyer.com around June 2005. I built a new system and wanted it to be X64 based so I put on XP64, and everything has been fine and dandy, one of the main reasons I was sold on doing it then was because all the hardware I got had driver support and I was told I'd be future proofing my system for the new X64 version of Windows (which we now know as Vista). As far as i've been able to gather from what information there is out there, XP64 users cannot do an "upgrade" to any version of Vista, which I'm fine with anyway. However, there is mention of a discount for Windows 2K/X64 users which allow them to buy the full x86 or x64 Business Edition of Vista at the upgrade price. Now how excatly would we go about claiming this upgrade? I wanted to e-mail MS directly about this, but all the e-mailing seem to want to charge me for it! If anyone could clear this up it would be a big help, because i'd be quite annoyed if i didn't qualify for some sort of discount. I bought XP64 pretty much as soon as it came to market, and today not only do I see the very OEM version I bought over a year ago cheaper, but they now come with a Vista upgrade coupon that permit a discount. I want to upgrade to Vista64 Ultimate, but I can't afford Â£500 to buy it, esepcially being a student. Thanks for anyone that can shed some light on this. Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42358

    - over 4 gig ram concern in audio recording environment I saw this article while searching for a compatable 1394B I/O card. It was relevent to digital cameras locking up XP64 when processing large DMA transfers. I am moving to XP64 to use the increased RAM for digital audio recording. Can anyone shed light on whether or not this should be a concern? I was going to purchase a system with 8 meg of RAM. TIA! Mike (mgremlin) ----------------- http://www.ptgrey.com/support/kb/index.asp?a=4&q=253 The following problem affects 64bit versions of both Windows XP and the upcoming release of Vista. One of the primary reasons for moving towards 64bit operating systems is to increase the maximum amount of memory that can be installed on a system beyond the 4GB limit of 32bit machines. Experimentation has revealed that, despite the ability to install and configure much larger amounts of memory on these machines, attempting to use devices that perform large DMA transfers will cause undesirable behavior - primarily system crashes (BSOD, or blue screen of death). The issue is that machines with at least 4GB of RAM have access to 256 or fewer memory map registers. Map registers are required for DMA'ing data into the main memory of the computer. One register is required for each memory page. Each memory page is 4096 bytes. Thus, in order to DMA a 4096000 byte image, 1000 memory map registers would be required. Each map register consumes 4K from non-paged memory. The OS will allocate no more than a hard coded 256K to a device. Based on the current limitations of 64 bit Windows XP, a system with 4GB of RAM (256 memory map registers) could theoretically interface with a camera that produces 256*4096 = 1048576 byte images (1MB) without any troubles. Pending further qualification, it appears as though even this configuration will not work in practice on all 64bit platforms - problems have been observed with cameras with many different image sizes smaller than 1MB. This problem does not happen on 64bit systems with less than 4GB of RAM because the OS can address the memory with 32 bit DMAs via a set of "virtual" map registers. If this behavior is observed, the only short term fix is to reduce the amount of memory on the system in question to below 4GB. However, Point Grey Research is actively working on a solution to this issue using the proprietary FlyCapture software and drivers. Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42355

    - problems networking i cannot seem to get one of my computers to communicate. I am new to the 64 bit world, and i don't know if this could be the problem. My status is this: i just installed, MS Pro x64 to one of my computers on my network at home, and i cant view any computers through it. Everyone can and has full access to it. When i attempt to browse though computers on the network, i can only see their names, but i dont have access to them, it says that i don't have the rights (i already tried sharing Everything). I can ping to my 64 through any computer and view everything, but i cant ping from it to anything except my gateway and NIC (my internet works on all computers). i enabled the file and printer settings, and i even disabled all firewalls. is it because of my OS, did i overlook something, or just lack of networking skills... (i read in a previous discussion on the nvidia firewall, if that were my problem, i wouldn't be able to see anything on the network right?) Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42340

    - A problem with this offer? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832116179 Is there a problem with this offer? Notice that it is labeled as "XP Professional x64 Edition with SP2b..." SP2b? SP2b is the service pack 2 roll up for x86. SP2 for x64 is still in release candidate. "w/Upgrade Coupon for Vista - OEM." According to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/expressupgrade.mspx only XP Tablet SP2, XP Pro SP2, and XP MCE SP2 are elibible for the upgrade coupon. Note: NewEgg also offers an upgrade coupon for XP Home SP2, which is listed as eligible on the Microsoft page. Somebody doesn't have it right and some consumers are sure not getting good information.

    - Vista I recently purchased a HP Windows MCE PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 chip. I am looking at the Vista upgrade program and trying to decide if I should upgrade to the 32-bit or 64-bit version. What are the advantages of going to the 64-bit version of the OS? Will some (older) applications have problems running on this platform or does Microsoft have an option to run the program in 32-bit mode? Tag: Media Player still dead Tag: 42276
