    - Dare I triple boot? Okay, I've installed RC2 on a machine at home and one at work. Old P4s with half a gig of memory. Just playing around. Now I'd like to dual boot with XP at home on my new X2 machine, but lingering fears of angry phone calls from the missus ("Hey, this stupid machine you built isn't working right...") makes me wary. I just got another 15K SCSI drive and thought it might be a chance to add it to my work rig, which is XP / XP 64 bit. Then I could put RC2 on that and triple boot and really test it out. Charlie posted a link to his dual boot guide, but I can't find it. How well does 5744 play in a triple boot situation? I can't afford a system meltdown, but as long as x86 or 64 bit XP remains intact I'm willing to take the chance with Vista. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39540

    - Dual boot rc1 & rc2 After unsuccessfully tried to upgrade Vista x64 5600 to 5728 and/or 5744 I wonder if I can leave rc1 as it is and install rc2 on a separate partition. Problem is that upgrade fails in the last part of the last stage, either installing from a DVD or HD (both 5728 and 5744). Maybe there is some offending program/driver installed that doesn't allow me to complete the upgrade. Bottom line: Dual boot rc1&rc2, is it possible? Carlos Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39535

    - XP x64 fails to fully Install Have two full versions of XP x64 (one M/S - other OEM) the results of changing HDs, during the last year or so, I have re-installed each version several times without conflicts. Today, when performing a "Clean" Install, suddenly receive same error message from each version: System can not start because -- \windows\system32\config\system -- is missing or corrupt, try using Repair Console from CD; tried R Console several times without success. Also, tried re-format and then re-installing several times, receive the same above message from each CD version. Additionally, have one full version XP Pro x86 CD that's been installed more than once and it refuses to Install with the exact same above error message. The CDs are clean, no scratches, what is causing the not-install trouble and/or missing- \windows\system32\config\system ?? -- Firewall Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39531

    - Install question Ok, I've downloaded the 64bit version twice now. The file name is vista_5600.16384.060829-2230_x64fre_client-lr1cxfre_en_dvd.iso, that is opened using WINRAR. When I open the file there is nothing in it. Just an empty folder and a read me note. What am I doing wrong? If I click on the properties for the winrar file it shows the correct file size of 3.59 Gig yet there is nothing in it when I extract it; just an empty folder. HELP! I've tried burning the winrar file to a DVD but that does nothing other than copying the unopened file to a DVD. Any help GREATLY appreciatd. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39518

    - RC2 x64 Graphic Corruption ??? Beginning to wonder if it is just my setup or if others are experiencing this problem. Haven't seen too many if any people asking about this. I have an nVidia Quadro FX3400 we\256mb Beta 2, RC 1, RC 1+, and now RC 2 x64 versions have all had some degree of video corruption. If I install the 32 bit version no corruption. Mostly the corruption takes places within IE, but I have experienced it also in WMP, Windows Mail, Explorer, and the desktop on rare occasions, but not to the extent of IE. It seems to have lessen as the builds have matured but was hoping for better at this point considering I prefer to run x64.

    - x64 Internet Connections Lost Hi All, We're running an x64 machine on a home network. It is networking just fine, we can share it's drives and so forth. We can also ping remote servers. We have, however, lost the internet connection (the other machines on the network connect just fine). The system runs a Cablevision Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem into a Netgear wireless router, but all of the machines are running through wired connections to the router. We have Windows Firewall disabled and run AVG Viruscan with Firewall for security. The problem (inability to connect to the internet) persists when we disable AVG firewall too. The loss of connectivity was progressive. Initially Firefox and Skype wouldn't connect, then AVG's update engine and windows update dropped out and finally internet explorer. Does anyone have a procedure for identifying the fault and rectifying it? Rebuilding the system is not really an option due to our dependence on this machine as the central hard drive for our network. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks, Thomas. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam...

    - Nvidia RC1 driver (96.33) does not work under RC2 x64 The current Nvidia x64 drivers (96.33) do not work under RC2. You will lose all hardware acceleration (video, games, even Vista Aero).

    - Migrating from 32 Bit to 64 Bit Hi All, We have a set of 32 bit Windows applications developed in Visual C++ which make use of several third party libraries for various purposes. Now we are planning to provide our applications in Windows 64 bit platform, and from the Microsoft site we came to know that we have to recompile our applications/DLLs using the compilers available for Intel/amd processor architectures and code changes also will be required. So the question we have here is that do we need to get 64 bit versions of all dependent third party libraries for our applications to work in 64 bit windows. Please let me know any details in this regard. Thanks in advance, Sujith Manuel. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39380

    - networking problems can't connect to the internet. Was connected to a Linksys wired router in my old apt, but moved to a new apt.

Also happens connected directly to modem. Tried resetting both router and modem to no avail, but other computer works fine when connected to either. Something needs to be reset in windows maybe?

    - X64 Registry question Questions about the behavior on a 64 bit machiknI picked 2 reg keys I wanted to use for testing knowing they had different values in the native mode registry and the wow6432 mode. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot has a value of: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ HKLM\SOFTWARE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot has a value of C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ The code, compiled as a 32 bit app and running on 64 bit OS (Windows Server 2003 SP1) looks like: Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework"); Query(L"InstallRoot", str1); Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework"); Query(L"InstallRoot", str2); Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework", KEY_WOW64_64KEY); Query(L"InstallRoot", str3); Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework", KEY_WOW64_32KEY); Query(L"InstallRoot", str4); Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework", KEY_WOW64_64KEY); Query(L"InstallRoot", str5); Open(L"SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework", KEY_WOW64_32KEY); Query(L"InstallRoot", str6); The results str1 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ str2 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ str3 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ str4 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ str5 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ str6 = C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ I expected str2, str3 and str4 to be as they are. str2 has no changes to the RegOpenKeyEx access mask so it was redirected to the 32 bit part of the registry. With the access mask modifiers for str3 and str4 I also would expect the results. But the results for str1, str5 and str6 confuse me unless something is preprocessing the registry key I want to open and stripping out the wow6432 from the path. Is this what is happening under the covers? I am trying to understand the behavior so I can see registry keys locally and remotely just like regedit does. The 32 bit regedit on a 32 bit machine can see all the registry keys on a remote 64 bit system. One more question - is the point not to let an app assume whether it is being redirected or not so putting Wow6432Node us like a no-op? To protect the app from future changes?

    - 32 bit app looking at registry on x64 I have an app that looks for specific registry keys. It knows where the keys are. It knows where to look in the 64 bit registry. It knows where to look whether it is in the wow6432 branch or the main (64 bit) branch. The app runs locally for information on the machine it is running. It looks remotely for the same data on remote machines. The app is a 32 bit app. All mentions of 64 mean x64, not Itanium. Running on the local machine for local machine info If looking at the local machine it works fine under all 32 bit oses. If running on a 64 bit OS it works fine some of the time but the reflector comes in and takes me places I did want to be looking at. I think I can deal with the local lookup using KEY_WOW64_32KEY and KEY_WOW64_64KEY as appropriate wih some code changes Running on one machine doing remote lookup The remote works fine from a 32 bit OS looking at 32 bit OSes The remote works fine from a 64 bit OS looking at 32 bit OSes (from the little testing I have done) The issues I am trying to deal with have to do with remotely looking at a 64 bit OS from a 32 bit OS and looking at a 64 bit OS from A 64 bit OS (have not tried the 64 to 64 yet) It looks like the KEY_WOW64_32KEY and KEY_WOW64_64KEY do not have an effect looking at the remote reg of a 64 from a 32 bit app running on a 32 but machine. It looks like the only view I get is of the 32 bit portion of the registry. These results are from an XP SP2 machine going to a Windows Server 2003 SP1 machine. This documentation confuses seems to lead me to believe the actions I take also will depend on what SP level is on the target machine. RRemote Registry Access in 64-bit Windows The registry on a 64-bit Windows system can be accessed and viewed remotely from a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows system across a network. In Windows Server 2003 and all prior 64-bit Windows versions, the 64-bit view of the registry is the only view that is exposed to a remote client. However, Windows Server 2003 SP1 and later, and the 64-bit versions of Windows XP are different, and expose the 32-bit view of registry if it detects that the remote client is 32-bit. Otherwise, it would provide the 64-bit view of the system registry. I guess the real question I am trying to ask is: Is it possible for an app to say - don't think for me - always use the native view of the machine being looked at (local or remote). For this to make sense for me it needs to be able to say that whether the app ius running on a 32 or 64 and the target is 32 or 64 . Thanks for any help. I would really appreciate any insight into this. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39341

    - DVD-RW drive acting screwy I have two CD-RW drives and one DVD-RW. Everything shows up like it should in My Computer until I put a blank DVD into the drive - then it shows the DVD-RW as only a CD drive. I have tried to enable CD recording in Properties, but that doesn't do anything. Should there be a DVD recording tab in Properties for these drives? Nero works fine to burn DVDs, so I guess i'll have to deal with that, but still. Also, Windows only allows me to have one of the three drives CD recording-enabled at a time. Is that normal? I've got the two CD-RW drives on the Primary IDE and the DVD-RW on the secondary IDE to keep them seperated. Any ideas? Oh, and how to change the drive letters? Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam...

    - Windows 2003 x64 R2 I just got this in MSDN (Actually I may have many from MSDN, but this is the first one in ages I opened). I appear to have 2003 x64 SP1 (Standard) installed and have had lots of irritating problems with it (of which Explorer or IE more likely spinning one core [or more!] at 100% and blocking things that use it is the worst). Is this new (that is not what I currently have installed)? Is it better? Is it safe to upgrade to it (no guarantees required)? Is it more stable?

    - Antivirus I am preparing XP x64 machine for Vista RC1, and am wondering about antivirus. Currently I run Norton on 2 XP Pro machines and 1 XP Pro laptop. On x64 I use, and very much like, NOD32. I have read some posts on Avast and some other free ones, but don't really go for free software when it comes to av. Norton expires on my other machines in a month or so, and am thinking of jumping ship to Nod32 for all. I am wondering how Microsoft's av is progressing and how it will stack up against the others price-wise and performance-wise. Thanks for the assistance. Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39327

    - XP x64 Drive Letters First of all, I am a tech so I have installed literally hundreds of copies of all versions of Windows. When I built a new 64 bit machine recently, upon OS installation I find the following drive letter assignments: A: Floppy C: Removable Disk (Floppy/Card Reader) D: Removable Disk (Floppy/Card Reader) E: DVD-ROM F: DVD-RAM G: WinXP H: Backup I: Storage I am running AMD x64 Dual Core with 2GB RAM, Dual WD 150 GB SATAII Drives in RAID 0 Configuration. I obviously created the Backup and Storage partitions during install to maintain drive letter continuity, and didn't notice anything different from XP x32, although I could, and probably did, do it in my sleep. The only variable, and the one that made off with the C assignment, is the card reader. I am preparing to try out Vista RC1, and wonder if I should remove the Floppy/Card Reader for the installation. Also, for those already with Vista, how is HP printer support? Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39305

    - Drive Letter Problem - Vista Installation All, I was wondering if anyone knows how to install Vista where the OS partition uses the D: Letter and not C: I normally install my OS as fallows: C: temp directory (page File) (Primary Partition) (Fat32) D: Windows Directory (Logical Drive) (NTFS) E: Programs (Logical Drive) (NTFS) F: Data Files (Logical Drive) (NTFS) I've gotten use to this structure and would like to continue it... however when I did my first install of Vista (I did it from my WinXP installation) Vista took the drive letter I had temporarily assigned the partition Z:. My second attempt was booting to the setup disk but Vista took the C: drive Letter and assigned the Primary Partition a drive letter of D:. I would like the install to be as followes: C: temp directory (page File) (Primary Partition) (Fat32) D: Vista Directory (Logical Drive) (NTFS) I realize this is a little anal but... If anyone can help it will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - CES Tag: Spyware/Adware Progam... Tag: 39301

Hi all,

Any idea's for a good spyware/adware program for XP x64 since Spy Sweeper no

Spybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft's AdAware both work in XP x64.

There is also an x64 version of Windows Defender that works fine.

That's pretty much what I came up with, unfortunately one is still in beta
and the other two are no where near as thorough and accurate as Spy Sweeper.
Maybe Webroot will see the error of their ways...
