    - My upgrade from evaluation to full went well... Ok, upgrade went reasonably smooth. I upgraded from within Windows rather than booting off the CD. Chose the option to upgrade from there. The one issue I had was when prompted for my nForce mobo drivers. For those of you without a 2nd computer, make sure you DL the drivers and unzip them on a CD before upgrading. Fortunately, I have other workstations, so I created a CD on one of them. The other issue was that during the installation of the mobo drivers, the USB won't work until the driver installation is complete. Which means...if you have your keyboard and mouse plugged into USB, you're sunk. I had to dig up the USB / PS2 converters that I had deep in my junk drawer so I could reboot and be able to click through the installation. Otherwise, all is well. -Larry Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29657

    - A8n32-sli deluxe possibly the problem? The problem is, one, my xp proffessional copy won't install, because its pre-servicepack 1 or 2, pretty much the first cd outa the factory. I couldn't get windows to update, or install dx9 or my nvidia drivers or my asus drivers, i basically couldn't get my copy to install, so i got this trial, and probly am gonna purchase it(i was ignorant and didn't no that you could run both 64 and 32 bit, i thought it was solely 64 bit(none of my games!!!)) the deal is, both my mouse and keyboard are usb driven, not ps2. After restarting, or shutting down, crashing, no matter how i restart my computer, when windows reloads, the: Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller. always comes up with an error, disabling my usb devices. so i had to kipe my roomates ps2 mouse and swap(major degrade from my razer diamondback le to a MI micro innovations mouse...) to get around in windows with some sort of input device. to get them to work, i uninstall the standard openhcd usb host controller, then on usb controllers i tell it to scan for new hardware, and it finds and gets everything up and running correctly. the usb ports work at the bootup screen from bios all the way up until about 2 seconds from leaving the "Windows xp x64 edition" blue scrolling bar screen. then the num-lock key turns off and no more keyboard. Going to a ps2 keyboard is not an option, as i have a logitech g15 keyboard(i spent way to much on my usb input devices to have to deal with this shizen) I have all updates from logitech, windows, and I just went to asus and there usa download site is down temporarily, but i no i have the latest bios and i'm sure that there arn't any updates there. so i am just clueless, is there someway to lock the device manager out from resetting? thanks in advance -- You are only who you are when no one else is looking.

    - How do I enter my new Product Key? I got my new version of x64. It's seems to be an academic version, which Royaldiscount.com didn't disclose. But that's ok at this point. Tomorrow I expire. But how do I enter the Product Key to unlock my current x64? Or do I actually have to do an upgrade with this disk? -Larry Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29635

    - Another write-up Techies in Microsoft license reading bombshell - New Motherboard =New PC = New OS, says Redmond. Tech blogs are fizzing with rage at the 'revelation' that Microsoft small print says a new Windows OEM license must be purchased if a motherboard is changed or upgraded. Microsoft is quoted as saying that the 'heart and soul' of a PC lies therein, and so changing it amounts to creating a new machine. A 'new' machine, according to Microsoft, requires a new Windows Installation. Other license types do not face such restrictions. Comments about the newly-uncovered atrocity are typically less than complimentary towards Redmond. "They are trully [sic] evil,? fumes one. Several others go for the succinct and to-the-point: ?**** Micro$oft." We felt more gracious, so we threw in some asterisks instead. For Microsoft's part, it claims this has always been the case. And their licensing document seems to corroborate the assertion. "An upgrade of the motherboard is considered to result in a "new personal computer." Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Therefore, if the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect then a new computer has been created, the original license expires, and a new full operating system license (not upgrade) is required. This is true even if the computer is covered under Software Assurance or other Volume License programs." End Users reading their license agreements? Well, well, whatever next?

    - 64-bit COM dll structure access I've a COM 64-bit dll built with Windows 2003 SP1 SDK April 2005 edition on Windows XP SP2. All MIDL options and project settings are done correctly (as far as i know) to build the 64-bit DLL. This DLL defines a structure of the form typedef struct sVALIDATION { UINT32 unDataLen; BYTE *pData; }S_VALIDATION; and has an interface method to fill up this structure of the form: HRESULT FillUpStructure([in,out,ptr]S_VALIDATION *pSValidation); { //pseudo code pSValidation->unDataLen = 3; pSValidation->pData = (BYTE *)CoTaskMemAlloc(3); //... set bytes } Now I'm using the tlb generated above, in my client application and calling the FillUp method //pseudo code #import COM64.tlb using namespace COM64Lib; void main() { S_VALIDATION sValid; memset(&sValid,0,sizeof(sValid)); try { IValidationPtr pValidation = IValidationPtr(__uuidof(ValidationClass)); //.... pValidation->FillUpStructure(&sValid); wprintf(L"%d",sValid.unDataLen); // prints "3" correctly wprintf(L"%X",sValid.pData[0]); //throw up here } catch(...) { //.... } //cleanup code } QUESTION: When I'm accessing the pData value, it is throwing error. I debugged on XP x64 machine and noticed that pData pointer occupies 8 bytes. But when it returns from the method call, the higher 4 bytes are being set so the client code ends up accessing value at [00a1308e'00000000] instead of [00000000'00a1308e] where actual data is present. pData pointer before the call as seen in memory window {00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00} pData pointer after the call as seen in memory window {00 00 00 00 8e 30 a1 00} Why is it happening this way? I started stepping through code and went little deep where RPCRT4!.... module doing some unmarshalling stuff.. I didn't understand this part and quit. Please help me.

    - solaris 10 and windows x64 dual boot redux A question regarding previous posts on this, and sorry if I missed anything: would it be better to use the windows x64 boot manager or grubs(?) that comes with Solaris 10, when dual booting these two systems? I've dual booted linux and win before, but I've never done it with solaris, and this will be the first go with solaris for me. I hate messing up my MBR, which I've done before with LILO (I'm not sure exactly what I did to achieve this). So, any help is welcome. woland Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29611

    - Avoid HP Color LaserJet printers Background: Bought an HP 3500N last fall, to use in our server room. Status: Useless when attached to server. HP cannot provide a good x64 driver, even though all sales materials claim x64 is supported. Multiple calls to HP support over a four month period yield no joy. Contrary to what HP says or publishes on the support site, x64 color LJ drivers are still in beta, and DO NOT WORK. Combine that with no good DVD burning s/w for backups being available and you have a really "red-headed stepchild" of a product. What is the big push to 64bit computing being driven by...besides MS desire to sell another product? -- Matt Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29597

    - Computer locks up whilst web browsing I am having intermittent issues whilst browsing the web. I go to click on a link, and the browser (both IE and Firefox) shows the word "Stopped" in the bar at the bottom, the mouse shows as busy, and nothing happens at all. I go to close the browser, which is not responding (even though Windows does not tell me that it is not responding), the browser closes but leaves the reference to its instance in the taskbar. If I try to open Task Manager, or any other program, the computer does not respond at all. The only thing to do is reboot manually. Whatever is causing the problem locks up the pc completely. I would love to know what is causing this problem. It only happens when I am browsing the web. Nothing at all shows up in the event log. I have all the correct 64 bit drivers for all of my hardware. Any pointers in the right direction would be most appreciated. Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29559

    - Failed Install - Please help I'm at my wits end... Okay, I had some real nasty spyware on my old XP install and nothing (I mean nothing) would get rid of it. It finally ground me down to the point of a clean install. I decided to buy Win XP x64 from Newegg.com and a few new hard drives for the clean install. I formatted the 500 GB drive and then installed it, only I couldn't get through the install. After I entered my key and time zone, the computer rebooted (as it should). However, it then came up into the program with such garbled graphics that nothing was visible. I can tell from the garbled background that it went into a higher resolution, but there isn't a clear letter, or any letter, on the screen; there is only some blue background and EXTREME tearing. It never asked me to increase the resolution, nor can I find a way to keep it from doing so. I have tried 3 times all with the same result. I wanted to call MS but they actually wanted to charge me although it isn't due to incompetence. This is now nothing more than a very expensive coaster and since it has been opened Newegg won't take it back. I feel cheated. So I reinstalled Win XP 32 and it didn't have the same problem. Maybe I should ask for the most updated production to be sent to me (with updated drivers)? Yet, I have no one to ask, unless I want to pay more for something that isn't working. Here is my info: DFI Lan UT DR motherboard AMD FX-57 2 gigs (512 x4) Mushkin Redline 4000 dual channel Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX (not in SLI mode for install) Dell Ultrasharp 24in WideScreen Monitor (also tried Samsung 17 LCD monitor, no help) Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard (working fine) Pioneer DVD-RW 109 2x500 GB WD drives 1 bad weekend If it had installed, I would have went into safe mode or VGA mode, but how can I do this when it hasn't finished installing? Remember, only 1 reboot after I enter the key and time zone, then I can't get it to go further since it is awaiting input from me, the end user.

It is only the 6 month Trial version, what do i do when it runs out can I buy x64 when I don't have XP Pro?

Is that the cause? So each time I use OE, before it scans for mail it asks for my email address, which comes up automatically, and for my password, which is blank and has to be filled in every time.

Hmmm.. Not very useful. IE64 Bit was fine. - Freecom DVB-T Decoder - no compatible drivers. - Motorola Mobile Phone software doesn't work - although without the software I can see the phone as anothe drive. For the past 10 years I've been using Norton products through to Internet Security 2006, and because they have not seen fit to develop a retail x64 product (or maybe they have just disabled the latest products as the older Ghost & Password Manager work just fine - apart from NOT installing into (x86) folders - I have then in an x86 - no brackets folder) I have purchased Avast and am very happy with it, no shutdown problems that others have experienced. I've also saved a lot of money for he future and Symantec have lost a customer for the next 3 years. Any recommendations for an alternative would be welcome. The same goes with Adobe. I haven't decided which creator I'll buy, but it will NOT be an Abobe product again for the forseeable future. Once again thanks for the assistance that has been provided which has allowed me a smooth and easy path into 64 bit computing. I will continue to read this ng with interest and will try to contributr where I feel that I can. Apologies for the long post! Chris Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29400

    - Windows Vista x64 Hello all, I have been running XP x64 for a while now on one of my computers and finally have everything working except my Brother label printer.

    - x64 vs Win 2003 Enteprrise, <= 32GB RAM What are the advantages of an x64 OS vs. a Windows 2003 Enterprise server if one has 32GB or less RAM? (The Enterprise can address 32GB of RAM) I think the biggie is not just the amount of RAM but the x64 box can address the memory as a single 64-bit offset (from a base register) and doesn't need 32-bit workarounds like AWE. I also read that x64 CPU hardware stops certain types of "buffer overrun" attacks that are possible with 32-bit CPU?

According to my ISP I am on a 10Mb feed ( 100Mb optic fiber to Switch/Router in the cellar, and 10Mb to each appartment by CAT 5 ) Sandra lists references as ADSL 512 | 1Mb | 2Mb, and 56Kb Modem. 1. The Connection Benchmark: Bandwidth - 46Kb Latency - 172ms References: ADSL 512Kb Bandwidth - 35Kb; Latency - 20ms. ADSL 1Mb Bandwidth - 57Kb; Latency - 18ms. ADSL 2Mb Bandwidth - 103Kb; Latency - 17ms. 2. The ISP Peerege Benchmark: Bandwidth - 47Kb Latency - 76ms References: ADSL 512Kb Bandwidth - 35Kb; Latency - 105ms. ADSL 1Mb Bandwidth - 56Kb; Latency - 94ms. ADSL 2Mb Bandwidth - 77Kb; Latency - 89ms. ( The results of this test improved vastly by having internet radio turned on, while the connection test showed no change at all. ) I am aware, of course, that live tests does not compare directly with either typical or best case figures, but surely there is something wrong with either me, my setup or the ISP. I mean to contact the ISP about the issue but running this OS I can imagine how they might start 'ealing' away from any responsibilities. And I don't even know if it is up to them anyway. And I am not even sure if I understand the test suit. Any comment will be much appraised. Tony. . . Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29374

    - Dual Core Hotfix? Is there a similar hotfix as was released for XP 32, for x64? I was playing Unreal II yesterday and noticed the strange shift to slow-motion and back to normal occasionally, a problem I didn't have on XP32 with the dual core hotfix installed. MS's hotfix info page says it pertains to 2003 x64 along with the 32-bit XP's. So this makes me think it also affects Pro x64. Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29348

    - Java Plug-In question HI, I know full well that there are no Java browser plugins as of yet for 64-bit browsers. We do, however, want to use Java applets in the browser. We have the native MS Java, along with 32-bit Firefox and the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE. Would I be able to make this happen by downloading the 32-bit JRE from Sun, or is there a better way to do so? Thanks, Mike Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29345

    - Partition Magic Can I use Partition Magic on Windows x64 to create a second partition? Tag: Memory allocation on 64 bits platform... Tag: 29326

What is the correct procedure to configure 6GB of memory allocation on
64bits plataform?

We are using ...

* Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition 64 bits (two nodes cluster)
* SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64 bits (active/active)
* Two Proliants 585 (4 way dual core Opteron processors, 8 gb RAM)

Do I need to configure AWE? How does it work on 64bits platform?

Thanks a lot.

You don't need to configura AWE - it's completely unnecessary. Your SQL
Server should see all the memory you have available. With a 64-bit OS the
memory is directly addressable - no tricks need to be done, and since your
SQL is 64-bit as well, there should be no issues.
