    - Screen resolution for Win64 Hi group, As Win64 has a better memory management, I suppose that windows screen options are enhanced also, isnt it? For example, normally in Win32 u have Colors 256 colors, 16bits, 32 bits 1024x768 pixels or 1280 x 800 pixels so, the next for Win64 would be Colors 64 bits and something like to say, 2000x1000 pixels comments, ideas? thanks, Carlos Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59616

    - Application Path not set correctly when launching 32-bit EXE with I have a 32-bit ActiveX application. I install it on a computer running XP x64. The App Paths registry entries are placed under the HLKM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths subtree. When I try to launch the application via COM (CreateObject in VB), the App Paths entries are not used. I have found that if I manually create the entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths subtree, they are accessed and used. Sure seems like a Windows bug to me, but I can't seem to find any mention of it in the Knowledge Base. What gives? Is there a fix? Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59608

    - 64 bit XP Pro/Mac printer to Pro PC... The mac pc isn't connecting. I have a feeling the problem is with the security settings on my 64 pro pc. I see there is a "Run As" option available, like in Vista and the Mac operating system. Everything is pointing to my PC blocking the Mac from getting to the printer. What should I look at? I even dropped the Firewall and the Mac couldn't see my PC or the Printer. Printer and File Sharing is enabled and the printer works fine. Access is through a router.

    - O.T. - troubleshooting the 64bit machine. . .(update) Hello, this certainly is taking time but it keeps being interesting. The machine came back with a new motherboard and CPU cooler and fans - and it still powered down just as before. I phoned back and managed to catch them with their pants down (so to speak), and made them borrow me a graphics card instead of shipping the thing back and forth indefinitely. A 7650 GT X2 (dual GPU!) was delivered and the machine ran for more than two hours, which is twice the time it managed earlier, so I really thought I'd found the culprit. But then it shut down again, of course. So, this leaves the Seasonic PSU or the CPU itself (Athlon FX62)? So, far it has cost me nothing, except the trouble and the troubleshooting and the transport. The Seasonic has extended warranty but I am not sure about the CPU, it is 18 months old and I may have some 'Good-Will' to draw on yet but that was an expensive SOB. Allright - I've gotten my 30" display, which is wonderful, of course, thankfully, it runs fine on my Win2K reserve, and I've made a few observations that I wonder if anyone else can verify. I wouldn't wonder if the 'Thin-Film-Transistor' was a lot faster than the 'Phosphors', but I had not expected the effect to be visible to the naked eye, in terms of 'fluent motion'. The Colin Mc Rae simulator is almost completely transformed, and displays a video quality that is totally amazing, I just can't seem to be able to pick up my jaw. If this is 'standard' behavior, then I will beg you all to get one for yourself. And right now - don't mess about with any of those 24 inch's!!! 30"tony. . . Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59568

    - server generates Delayed Write errors copying Very large Files Apologies as this turned out to be rather lengthy.... I run a development engineering lab for a financial services company and we are running into a rather peculiar but very troubling problem on some of our performance servers when copying, moving or backing up very large files, i.e. files greater than about 52 Gigabytes in size (yes GB not MB). Primarily these are SQL Server database files but we also see the same problems copying or relocating large Virtual Server Hard Drive files of that size or larger. The problem is actually an old one that I think has not been dealt with, the end result for us on Windows Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003 R2 is that after copying about 52 Gbytes of the file, Windows starts reporting "Windows delayed write" errors and at that point the file copy collapses and stops. Although the system reports the copy is still running, no further data is being successfully copied. All the file IO and other windows processes slowdown considerably (more on this in a little bit). In each case where a delayed write error is generated, Event Viewer shows the first error as being event ID 50 and or Event 26. The problem is seen when using Drive letters and UNC paths and we asked about hotfixes for Server 2003 SP2 but were told by support there were none as the fix described in KB Article 890352 [ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890352/ ] was rolled into SP2 and did not apply to our issue. We have only recently begun to see these problems because until recently most of our performance testing model used fairly small working sets for data (typically under 100GB total) and thus each file-group in our databases was less than 40GB so we never really saw a problem. I've seen this problem on ALL versions of Windows including Server 2008. In the server 2008 case, the O/S collapses completely and cannot be shutdown.In most cases we have to power-off the server to get the problem system to recover, no delayed write error is reported on server 2008. I've tested this on a variety of servers (listed next) and in as many cases as possible I tested on multiple servers with the same config and with different O/S editions. I also tested one of the servers that was experiencing the problems first, using small files (files from 1byte up to 40 GigaBytes in size). The test set I use is approx 870GB in total size and has been continuously copying for about 40 days now continuously on this server, I think at last check it had copied around 2,973 Terabytes of data on this server, all without error. Primary Test Servers and configurations HP ML570 Quad Xeon w/ 16GB Ram and 1.2TBytes local storage + 3.4TB SAN storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box. WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x86 and x64. HP DL580 Dual Xeon w/8Gb or 16Gb Ram and 1.2TB Local Storage + 3.4 TB SAN Storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box. WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x86 and x64. HP DL380 G4p Dual Xeon w/4Gb Ram and 300GB Local Storage + 3.4 TB SAN Storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box. WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x86 DELL 2950 dual quad Core 2.83Ghz w/32 GB Ram 320GB Local Storage 4.2TB on an EMC AX150 SAN and 3.4 TB SAN Storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box. WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x86 and x64, Win Svr 2008 x64. DELL 2950 dual quad Core 2.5Ghz w/4 GB Ram 140GB Local Storage 4.2TB on an EMC AX150 SAN and 3.4 TB SAN Storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box. WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x86 and WinSvr2008 x86 Dell Precision 460T wkstation Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz with 4GB Ram and 1TB of local storage (SATA) 3.4 TB SAN Storage on a Nexsan Sataboy Box via iSCSI WinSvr 2003R2 SP2 x64 With the exception of the ML570 I've tested on multiple servers of the same type. All servers have succeeded in copying large volumes of files 40Gb and smaller. On our HPs all drives are SCSI hot swappable. Either 10 or 15K. We don't mix spindle speeds in raid groups. On our Dells, all local drives are SAS, on the EMC AX150 all drives are are SATA and on the SATABoy all drives are SATA. On all systems file copies using small files up to 0 - 40GB are all successful. All systems are running the latest BIOS and we have seen the same behavior on prior BIOS versions. All disk controller firware is updated to the latest version and like the BIOSes the same behavior existed on earlier versions. We have checked and updated hard disk firmware, where new versions are available. Same issues as for controller firmware. On local Hard drives we run Raid 1 or Raid 5 to get best performance or max capacity. Both Raid modes exhibit the same behavior. I have tested on the HP's with no Raid at all and the same results occurred. I try not to do specialty O/S builds for our lab environment. I build a straight default Windows O/S configurations, fully patch it with microsoft Patches and burn in test the system, then go test for this problem. I do not tweak system settings or apply registry hacks until I get baseline test data. In all cases here for the file copy tests I have not tweaked the system settings or registry at all. Our servers are set for background performance for the system cache, although we tested with 'foreground' set without success too. We've tried large and small pagefiles and have moved pagefiles to seperate disk spindles to see if it made a difference. I've tried all manner of file copy and file sync tools, but what it comes down to that if the file being copied is written on the systems' storage system (local or SAN), the system will collapse and file copying will fail somewhere around 52 - 58GB being copied. Windows Server 2008 has given me my best look into the problem and what appears to be happening is that the system cache keeps expanding until all physical memory is used and the paged pool keeps growing until it hits around 380MB and non paged hits about 82MB (I think the latter is right). What I then see is the CPU goes flat line as does the Total Disk byes written in Perfmon but the Physical memory usage history in task manager suddenly starts ramping until it gets out around 70GB and then everything is done and either the system hangs (server2008) or delayed write errors occur. One place where I do not seem to see the problem is SAN Drive to SAN Drive Copies on the EMC SAN. I always see this problem on the SATABOY SAN with large files when copying large files to the SAN volumes regardless of Cache Settings. I can backup the files to tape but due to their size its an expensive option both in media cost and time to backup and restore the data, my preferred option is to backup to removeable Hard Disk (External USB - SATA), sure its slower but it offers operating efficiencies right now I cannot get with Tape (if it worked). Some testing has centered on using external drives, but most of the testing on my systems has been to copy or move the files from one volume to another on the server. It doesn't matter whether I turn caching off or on for external USB drives or local drives. I have had very occasional success on the EMC SAN ensuring that windows O/S disk caching is off. Success using this method has been spotty and limited to servers with 32GB or more of RAM. One very telling test setup was to populate the Server with 128GB RAM and run windows Server 2008 x64. In that case almost all file copies were successful, although they became painfully slow after about 60GB was copied and it took over 5 hours to copy the last ~35GB of a 95.8 GB file. I tried using Backup Exec and MsBackup to backup the files to a hard disk but it failed everytime, when I run the same backup to tape it is successful. This is leading me to think the problem is generated in the lower level file system filter drivers. I've tested with and without AntiVirus software in the mix and have likewise tested systems that are built raw with no patches at all and see the same problems. I also tried splitting the file into chunks and copying the pieces and while I can split the file, I cannot join it again as the processes all seem to rely on creating a temp file and the process of copying the large temp file always results in the delayed write errors being generated. I've also tried zipping up the file to reduce its size (database files compress really well) but that process likewise requires a file copy of a large file, and at some point that fails. It should go without saying I've tried using SQL Db Backup writing to disk storage and it fails everytime, tape is successful. In fact it was this very act that caused me to begin investigating the problem in the first place. In days gone by there were loads of users seeing this problem on Win XP copying much smaller files and there are some other people seeing this problem today on Windows Server, Microsoft are very quiet on the subject for windows server, I think in no small part because very few people are seeing the problem and there is no demand to identify the problem or to fix it. I cannot believe though I'm one of the first people to see the problem. I'll quite happily accept its a configuration issue if someone can tell me how to fix the problem! All attempt to tweak a system has not yielded any success. What also sucks is that you typically have to wait ~30 mins to find out that the problem will manifest. I'm about ready to escalate this issue to Microsoft, I think I now have enough test data to do so, but thought I would bounce this off others to see if anyone else has a solution or guidance first.

    - default xml icon missing At some point, the icon displayed for xml files got changed to the icon used for files with no association in Windows. I had a similar problem with .htm and .html files, but was able to fix it using a program I found through a Google search. It fixed the registry directly, since just assigning the icon in iexplore.exe didn't fix it. Apparantly, no one has done the same for xml files. Since I don't know what the program did to reassociate the file type with the normal blue "e" icon, I don't know how to fix the xml files. I've already tried pointing to the first icon in msxml3.dll, which is what it used to use: Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> XML document -> Advanced -> change icon Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59511

    - Upgrade Possible from Home Premium to 64 Bit? Hi, I currently have an Intel Core2 CPU E6600 @ 2.40 GHz, running Vista Home Premium (32 Bit). I use this computer mainly for gaming and recently picked a new game up which was bogging my system down a bit. I purchased 2 GB more of RAM, but recently found out that a 32 bit OS won't utilize more then the @ GB I had before. (I'd like to use all of the 4 GB I have installed now). So I suppose my question is three part. Is my Processor capable of running a 64 bit OS? Which edition should I look at purchasing? And will it be an upgrade or a complete clean installation?

    - please help i don't want to format i will need 3 days to reinstall hello everyone i am one of the stupid people that has windows xp x64 pro there is this one online flash game i play age of war by maxgames.com its really a stupid game whatever this isn't about that when i get into the game my system speaker starts going off one time i tried to just ignore it and well after like 20 minutes of beeping it had a thermals shutdown. now i will i could say this is just for from this game but it isn't. when i watch certain youtube videos the beeping starts again. apparently the videos aren't long enough to cause a thermal shutdown now i have a 500w power supply intell E6600 processor on a ECS P4M900T-M motherboard 2gb ram ddr2 (2x1gb) no cd-rom drives 4 hard drives everything else in integrated onto the motherboard 6 system fans 120mm cpu fan with 3 speed and heat sensor 120mm power supply fan with 3 speed and heat sensor 2 80mm rear case fans for air intake 1 80mm side fan for air exoust 1 80mm front fan for exoust removes heat from 4 hard drives. i have never had a system over heat before this i have checked all the fans for performance and wires are not in the way my theory is my processor is trying to split the flash game into 2 processors and its failing the lag causes the system to be redundant and heat up for no reason thus the system beep at every processor failure misc. i have adobe master collection installed CS3 it came with a unique flash player for testing .swf files. but i use the flash player to play other games i have and i have no problem. what can i do to prevent another thermal shutdown? no, not playing the game and not going to youtube in not an option. last note i have virtual pc 2007 i have windows installed on that as well mainly to test web pages with different resolutions and different browsers the game also causes the beeping in virtual pc witch is supposedly a 32 bit windows installation and virtual pc is set to mostly run of the second processor thanks for your help. !!!oh why! why the hell did i upgrade my pc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    - Vista 64-bit Compatibility I'm in the market for a new computer and was wondering about Vista 64-bit's compatibility with programs, hardware, etc. I'm an architecture student running AutoCAD, Rhino, Maya, Adobe CS3. Are these compatible with Vista 64-bit? I've heard that Vista 64-bit is a faster, more powerful OS than what I've been using (XP Pro) but I don't want to switch if 64-bit compatibility is still in its infancy (at least for the applications I'm using). I've read many threads on this subject, but am apologetically still unsure (it's a lot of money for a grad student to invest in, and many discussions on this subject are relatively old). Thank you for any answers/suggestions/advice. I appreciate everyone's help. Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59448

    - Upgrade from 64bit Vista Home Premium to Ultimate Is the upgrade to Ultimate from Home Premium specific to 64 bit or 32 bit? I have 64 bit Home Premium and I need to go to ultimate. Do I need to be careful which upgrade I pick, or is there just one upgrade on the market that includes both versions? Does anybody know? I'd appreciate any advice...thanks!

    - Is Vista x64 supported as a hyper-v guest yet? Thought I saw some new software drops the past week; perhaps it was only for allowing Vista X64 to manage Hyper-V. Anyone? Thanks! Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59432

    - Installing IDE Hard Drives Using XP PRO x64 This is my first install with a few problems to iron out. All of my SATA drives installed just fine, no matter what I do with the IDE drives the hardware profile will show the Seagate and of course it comes up installing new hardware, but here's the kicker? My Computer icon only shows the SATA hard drive & SATA DVD's? What happened to my Seagate? I have 2 of them and tried them both, they are small drives one is 10.2 and the other one is 12.6? I forgot my motherboard when I filled out my profile it's an ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe. I have all the updates installed including service pack 2, any ideas here? Thanks! Jim P.

    - Run Adobe Premiere Elements on Vista 64 bit system I'm trying to run Adobe Premiere Elements on my new 64 bit laptop but am having nothing but problems. Adobe can't seem to help me, I talk to one person and get told that it will run in 32 bit compatibility mode and I talk to another guy and he tells me that it won't run at all. When the program runs it keeps freezing, sometimes it trys to load but then stops. Any ideas out there? Anybody else using this program successfully? Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59417

    - Vista 64 bit I am currently running Win XP Pro (32 bit). I am intending to upgrade to Win Vista Home Premium and purchased the upgrade in 32 bit but have ordered the 64 bit DVD from MS. Here's the question: Can I go ahead and upgrade using the 32 bit version I have and then upgrade that to the 64 bit version when it arrives? My system is a new build; Core 2 Duo E8400, Asus P5K Deluxe MB, 8 Gb OCZ Platinum, nVidia 9600 GT (512) Direct X 10 and 2 x 320Gb Seagate SATA drives. All of my equipment supports 64 bit. -- Ric Thomas Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59389

    - Re: Yet another question about x86 & x64 Vista Upgrade I think you should be asking if its best to upgrade (?) to any of the Vista flavors. I have had an association with Vista Ultimate since it's release. The 64 bit system install was a real nightmare until I finally did the unthinkable and got it to install. It operates slightly slower than XP on my approved systems. The system with the 32 bit OS is noticably slower that the 64 bit OS system. The 64 bit system has consistently been slow in file transfers and other functions. Also MS updates are looked upon with dread. Each of the larger updates have resulted in totally unexpected problems. SP1 was no exception. The systems is now more buggy than ever before. There aren't as many problems with the 32 bit system. But there are problems. My system with XP still installed is running quite smothly. SP3 installation has caused no noticable problems. It's operation is much crisper and faster than either Vista flavor. It is just a much more enjoyable system to use. If you have no real need for the 64 bit OS I would stay away from it. If you want to play with A 64 bit OS, then try one of the Linux distros. I understand that MS will cease support of XP in the near future. However, I am having a hard time with MS support of Vista and am not sure that the software is supportable. I am also unsure that MS can make the Vista software more efficient, more user supportable and more user friendly either. Basically, I and quite a few others have found Vista to be a dud. MS reports of 100,000,000 licenses being sold makes one wonder. I believe they reported that there were 90,000,000 licenses sold last summer. An increase of 10,000,000 in the rest of the time makes one wonder too. Carefully evaluate your needs before you jump on the Vista bandwagon. I hate to say it; but, MS appears to be attempting to force users into the flawed Vista product. They have already stampeded the OEM market into line. Sure wish Apple would release an OS that would operate on MS systems. -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.9 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- - Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59368

    - Vista Home Premium 64 and USB Drives I've a couple USB external Hard Drives and a USB Flash Drive that I use from time to time. If I connect only one to the system all works well, but if I connect any 2 at the same time Windows Explorer freezes so I can't read any, let alone copy between them (I've never tried to attach all at the same time). Is this normal? Is there some setting I should make - or unmake somewhere - so I can attach all at the same time? As noted in the subject line I have the 64 bit version of Vista Home Premium, and 4 or 5 free USB 2 ports on the 2 attached hubs. Tag: Recycle Bin lurker Tag: 59366

    - IE7 Black screen on Vista Ult 64-bit I have an HP Pavilion dv9500 with Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have intermittent problems that are getting really irritating. I use IE7 32-bit browser because the Flash Player won't work in the 64-bit IE7. Sometimes for no reason I can discern IE opens any more new tabs or windows with a black screen. It seems that everything is else is still happening, ie. if I was entering a transaction or purchase I can't see that it completed but if I restart IE and check on it, it was completed. Of course it's useless to me anyway, I have to restart. Usually closing all IE windows is sufficient and I can start IE again and it works for a while. Sometimes I have to restart Vista to get IE to display correctly. HP Tech Support twice told me it was the nVidia driver but installing the driver they gave me didn't help. Any Ideas?

My motherboard is an ASUS P4C800-E-Deluxe and the CPU is a Socket 478. Can anyone tell me what CPU I need to get buy in order to install the 64 bit?

    - Windows on IntelCore2duo, lots RAM Good Evening. I am trying to figure out if I should use winXP-64bit or Win Vista. I do allot of coding in C and would like access to over 4GB of RAM. I use Intel Core 2 DUO e6420 CPU. My use patters are: 1) Scientific Computing 2) Office apps, Video viewing, compression 3) Video games With DX10 Vista seems to be a better choice, however I kind of like XP for its flexibility, I dont like the Vistas constant walkthroughs and semi automated wizards... to me they sometimes get annoying... Also it seems that Vista still has some compatibility issues, or at least it did when i played with it couple months ago Any advice is appreciated. Any suggestions?
