    - Vista x86 MUI download links Just found this on the web. They are allegedly the MUIs for Vista x86 in several languages. The only thing I can confirm is that they are Microsoft links, so it can't be harmful. http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-es-es_a163c4bbc9c34f2e299c057ef8861f0fa3d8a76d.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-sv-se_0bb9314bb33c9c0cae897bd34147e14e11daa3b5.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ja-jp_f563d5c82a3a156fc764fb78dc25cde8856dc251.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-pt-br_86694c7aba41372e04da9d45ce40309a3141a9e3.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-nb-no_751c84a87022d16f8270116727fbcdeb4efc841a.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-nl-nl_6ed633b7ecd8a8ae26d4196010912ae6e4ca804a.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-fi-fi_cb28440f6b925a98432acc92e59b51fbccdc5169.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-fr-fr_c5197c4631ff183b3a315f2187a6f02856bb697c.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ru-ru_56e37b9fa209bf0334d8813372636b58744b1d3b.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-de-de_129e9e10085876706cf81f9949c31a6d9ea0a231.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-da-dk_f619cf28316a0cf623e1ef9a2e5fab630302a921.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-ko-kr_3339e4062ccbac56eed8a773024c0ffb847853d0.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-zh-cn_ac12404fd3350e08ba766c9ab774eb61ecfa7a45.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-zh-hk_b485acb744566b62d9cde2464f64068882d97d2d.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-en-us_c38cb05f3146b642c95743633998808fa5229875.exe http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/lp-it-it_4e18e2e79d2c77d1a1efd45eef86a54bf5f117ab.exe Carlos Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44516

    - About ordering the 64-bit version of Windows Vista for 9.95?! About aweek ago I went to www.windowsvista.com/1033/ordermedia and I typed in all of the needed info that is asked then ordered a 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium for 9.95 and in my mail on 02/08/07 I received a 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Basic. So I know that I was sent the wrong disc, because I am thinking that if I download the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Basic over my currently installed version of 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium then I will lose all of the features of Home Premium and would only have Home Basic(albeit a 64-bit). Unless I am wrong? So if I called Microsoft will they fix this issue and send me out the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium at no charge or will I be charged another $9.95 to get the correct disc? Has this happened to anyone else? Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44497

    - Unable to install "Client for Microsoft Networks" in XP64 Hi, I'm building a new C2D rig and I have XP64 on it. The install goes fine, I got sound and video drivers, IE7 64-bit is nice and all, but this one problem is a real show-stopper. I got the network drivers installed, TCPIP works, but the Client for Microsoft Networks just refuses to install. When I try to add it, I get this: "Could not add the requested component. The error is: The remote procedure call failed." This is the built-in ethernet on an Intel DP965LT board, BIOS updated, all drivers are latest. Intel says these are specific 64-bit drivers. Poking around Google I see I'm not the only person to have this problem. However, solutions seem to be lacking, and many of the things I am seeing are fairly old (6+ months) so they are unlikely to be of any help. Anyone run into anything like this?

    - ODBC drivers in Windows x64 Professional Edition Is there currently a way to make an ODBC connection from a 64-bit application to Access and Excel files? My understanding is that a 64 bit ODBC driver is required when creating 64 bit applications. Is there an alternative to ODBC to connect a 64 bit application to Access and Excel? - I specifically want to target x64 machines so setting target machine to x86 in my compiler options (in order to use the 32bit ODBC driver equivalents) is not an option. - I specifically do not want to go through SQL Server. You figure there would be a way considering Windows and Office are the two mainstays of Microsoft. Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44473

    - Boot Problems with Xp Pro x64 I am building a computer and installing XP Pro x64 for the OS. I am using a Intel Core 2 Due 6400 processor which uses the Intel EM64T archecture so it should support the OS, but the computer will not boot normally, and I can not figuer out why. It goes through the POST process fine and then when the windows screen should appear the compuer stops processing. The monitor goes blank as if it is in power save mode (the monitor) the same as would happen if the video signal had been cut. Also the OS will load if i boot in Safe mode, so i can not figure out why it will not load normally. This is not being used for a network or anything, just a single PC. -- builder1 Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44462

    - Runaway csrss.exe use 4GB, how to kill? Hi. We have a problem at one of our servers. One (out of 4) csrss.exe process uses 1.1GB of mem and 4GB of VM. That process seems to be dead (as in not doing anything) and I'd like to kill it. The server is almost out of virtual memory and will crash in 5-10 hours. OS is Windows 2003 EE on IA64. Anyway, my questions are: - Is it safe to kill the csrss.exe process? - What's the recommended way to kill it? - Does anyone know the cause of our problems? Rebooting is not an option yet. We will be forced to reboot in a day or two, but cannot accept any down time right now. Thanks in advance for all answers. Bj=F8rn Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44456

    - Installing 64bit from 32 bit. I know this may sound like a repeat, but I have a interesting question.. So far I havent quite gotten all the info I needed... I have bought a Vista home premium and found out I could order a 64bit dvd. I tried to order a 64bit dvd using windows xp MCE at the time, but to no success.. So I then went and proceeded to install my Vista HP (home premium) 32bit and was able to order the 64 bit OS. When I was trying to order the 64bit dvd, I had to have vista installed for the ordermedia website to validate my license code. Since I have already activated the 32bit product key, would I be able to activate the license code on the 64bit *after replacing 32bit with 64bit* without having to call in MS and ask for activation to the 64bit from the 32bit? I plan to switch to 64bit when I get the DVD. So far I havent seen any info regarding the activating with the switch from 32 bit to 64bit :) Thanks. Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44417

I have an Athlon AMD 64 processor 3200 2.20GHZ. I am aware that I can purchase a 64 bit software at an additional cost. PC world from whom I bought this software have offered me a full refund. they also made me aware that if I were to purchase the ultimate(as this version contains both 32 and 64 bit) version that I would have major problems as all drivers must be digitaly signed and that vista ultimate does not alow drivers that are not digitaly signed. Any advice would be most welcome, as I dont really want to give up my New software. Thankyou in advance I am so dissapointed Tag: HD Tune 2.53 released on Jan 22nd Tag: 44385

    - .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 on Vista x64 - Supported? I'm trying to install the .NET Framework 1.1 on Vista Business x64, RTM. I downloaded the 11/29/2006 build that says it supports Vista. It specifically calls out x64 2003 and XP, but not x64 Vista so maybe it's not supported? When I try and run the dotnetfx.exe installer I get a UAC prompt (expected), I click Yes on "Would you lke to install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Package" and then immediately I get "An error occurred while Windows Installer was initializing. Setup will now close." So I try and get cleaver and extract all the files from the self-extracting executible and run the netfx.msi package. I then get a compatibility warning and it directs me to the 1.1 SP1 download. I go ahead and install the base 1.1 package and then install the SP1 package. I get another compatibility warning on the SP1 package that tells me to download the SP1 package, the very one I'm trying to install! Microsoft, please get your story straight. :-) After all of that, it seems to have installed. Is this really a supported configuration and should I expect problems, or were the warnings false alerts? I didn't see any additional updates beyond SP1 for .Netframework 1.1 that I need. I ran Windows Update and it didn't flag any more updates or patches. So my two comments/questions are: 1. Microsoft, please fix the installer so that I don't need to manually extract the base install files and run the .MSI packge. 2. Fix the compatibility warning for the SP1 file so that it doesn't re-direct me to the very download that I'm installing to fix the first compatibility warning. 3. Or repackage the .Net Framework 1.1 and SP1 into a single package so that you don't get any warnings and it just works. Gasp! :-) 4. Is this really supported on Vista x64?

I installed all critical and optional windows updates for the x64. 2. I tries to replace the logonui.exe with a new one (with a new logon screen, just to see if the file is corrupt or not). 3. When the accounts number is 10 there is no problem. 4. My application needs the option to switch users so I canâ??t disable this option. 5.

Will there be problems accessing my Outlook and Word files in a 64-bit environment? I assume I need to install the old 32-bit version of Office onto the new Vista computer, or can I use the new Office version and still access those 32-bit files? Thanks for the help.

    - Upgrade vs Upgrade - not a faq but maybe some answers. Comments and Corrections welcomed. 1. any version of XP or windows2000 qualifies you to use the upgrade version of vista (32 bit or 64 bit) 2. 32 bit systems upgrading to 32 bit Vista can do a conventional upgrade preserving compatible programs, user settings data files etc. 3. Going from any version of XP (or 2000) to 64 bit Vista is not what you would normally call an upgrade. 4. If you have a 32 bit xp and decide to install 64 bit vista, you are probably going to have to boot into the vista dvd to start the install. 5. If you have a 64 bit version of XP, the install may be started from windows, but will put all that exists on the system drive in a folder called windows.old. If you want to make any changes to your Hard Drive, ie format or repartition and format or extend it, you must boot off the Vista install dvd. Also, the anytime upgrade process will act just like your initial install, except I believe it must be started from windows, but the 64 bit version once again will move everything on the system drive into windows.old. As yet I have no experience with the 32 bit anytime upgrade. 6. During the install of 64 bit Vista if you have booted off the Vista dvd and you tell it to format the drive, there is no Are you sure? followed by "to format the drive press F" So be sure of what you want to do before answering any prompts. 7. If you purchase an Upgrade version, you must have an installed previous version. Vista will not Qualify the upgrade by inserting install media, So no "bare metal" installs with upgrade Product Keys. if you want to do a "bare metal" install you need the full product or OEM product, 8. The only version that has both 64 and 32 bit media is Vista Ultimate. If you get one of the other versions of the full product of an Upgrade it will have only 32 bit media. OEM versions are available in either 32 bit or 64 bit but not both in one package. If you buy a 32 bit version (Upgrade or Full Product) you may order the 64 bit media from Microsoft. The Same product key will work for either. In fact it is My understanding that all the 32 bit media is the same, and all the 64 bit media is the same, the Product Key controls what you can install off the media. Hope this helps someone.

    - Upgrading from XP Home Media I bought Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade and found out it was the 32 bit version. I wanted the 64 bit and find out I have to order it which I did. Can I load the 32 bit version and then load the 64 bit as an upgrade or do I wait and install the 64 bit? If I have to wait do I do an upgrade or clean install? -- Thanks!

    - Windows Vista 64 or Windows Vista 32 for AMD 64 FX-57 Ok, my head has been spinning researching and trying to decide once I do upgrade to Windows Vista which to get the 32 or 64 bit versions. Here is my scenario: I am a gamer and I have an AMD 64 FX-57 CPU, Two Nvidia 7800 GTXâ??s in SLI mode, (which I plan to replace with an Nvidia DirectX 10 Video Card), an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard (can support up to 4gig of ram), I have 2 gigs of dual channel pc 3200 ram, a Sound Blaster Xfi sound card, on board Ethernet card, a Linksys router, and a Cannon Multipass MP730 printer. I use a Raid configuration with 2 WD Raptors. I also have two other computers networked together that are NOT 64 bit capable. I also play new games as well as games that are a year or two old. Some current games I will or am playing are: EQ2, WoW, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Neverwinter Nights 2, Titan Quest, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Vanguard, Company of Heroes, Oblivion. I already ran the Vista test program to see if I'm compatible which I am for the most part except for drivers for my XFi soundcard and Nero. Here are my questions: 1) I hear about a lot of compatibility issues with 64 bit windows, for example, not supporting 16 bit applications that some install programs still use (not sure what ones), issues with older software and hardware and not allowing unsigned drivers to be installed, etc. 2) Will the 64 bit version work well with my PC with the hardware and games I have? 3) I heard you should have 4 gig of ram for 64 bit vista is that true? Is 2 Gig of Ram too low for 64 bit windows? Will this all work with my Motherboard? 4) What games (or a site that lists them) do not work with Vista 64 bit but do work with 32 bit? 5) Will not allowing to install unsigned drivers be a major issue for gamers who need updates for the latest game to work since video drivers for example, are updated frequently but not yet signed by Microsoft? Which I assume takes a lot longer. 6) I know you can't get a 64 bit upgrade version of Vista if you only have a 32 bit version of XP now, but If I get the full version of 64 bit Ultimate, can the two additional keys I get for $50 each be for 32 bit versions of windows (for my two non-64 bit PC's?). 7) What if I got the 64 bit Home premium can I get 32 bit version upgrades with the family discount or does it all need to be 64 bit versions? 7) If I went 64 bit Vista will the other non-64 bit PCâ??s have trouble communicating with each other in anyway like via network or copying files etc.? I do not plan to get Vista right away due to the fact that stable established drivers need to come out still for all the hardware like my poor Soundblaster XFi, but in a few months I will.
