    - System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable Hi I was watching a .divx movie, and I restarted the system, when the movie was over. I got an error during bootup as 'The RPC Servier is Unavailable'. The Start Menu has started to look like a Classic Menu, a lot of functions are disabled, I get kernel error many times, cant play Media Player, cant open Internet Explorer cant run system restore in safe mode either, ... . I am sure there is no virus on it! This happened all of a sudden after restart, and how do get my x64 back to normal? I have vista on another partition, and it is running fine.

    - Microsoft does it again Just made the mistake of purchasing a Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. Box only said Vista (or XP) as the required OS, and mentions how it helps make Vista security more convenient. Well, insert the cd and it says then, and only then, that it only works on 32-bit Vista. Fortunately I can install it on my wife's machine, but just one more kick in the teeth for 64 bit from Microsoft itself. Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52705

    - New to 64-bit;General Questions We need to purchase the 64-bit version of Windows 2003 Server Std Edition because of the 4GB memory limitation in the 32-bit version. This server will be used as a Terminal server with both thin-clients and thick-clients (XP Pro and Vista Business) connecting to it. We need to install MS Office 2007 and an accounting application on the TS. 1. Can 32-bit applications install & run on a 64-bit Server operating system? 2. In our particular application, are there any limitations/ disadvantages to the 64-bit version of the Server OS? Thanks Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52682

    - Mail Profiles and Vista 64-bit edition I'm looking at two machines side-by-side. Both have Office 2007 installed. One machine is running the 32-bit version of vista and the other is running the 64-bit edition of Vista. Within the Control Panel (Classic View) the 32-bit version has an icon called "Mail" that allows me to create and manage mail profiles. The 64-bit version does not. Is there a hidden option some where that I can modify to access this icon in the 64-bit edition or does it just not exists in the 64-bit version.

    - Windows x64 Edition won't start after Avast Update Hi, I have a computer that I built that won't boot after the latest Avast update. I updated Avast late Thurs (10/25/07) night and when it said that I needed to restart the computer, I pushed OK for it to restart and went to bed. I got up Friday morning and it was on a solid blue (not BSOD) screen. Now, it won't boot at all. I get thru the POST, and when it gets to launching the Windows x64 logo, it freezes on a black screen. No text. I also: - cannot get into any of the safe mode options, with one exception - when I launch into "Safe Mode" - I can see the lines "multidisk, rdisk, etc etc" coming across the screen and it stops on a line that ends in \windows\inf\biosinfo.inf - so it appears that this is where it freezes. - cannot boot to my original XP CDrom. - cannot get into the recovery console. Everything freezes to a black screen before I can get to any options that may allow me to work on this drive. I have slaved the drive to another x64 computer. I have full access to all of the data and files. Nothing is lost. So I'm thinking that when Avast did it's update on Thursday night, it corrupted one of the Windows boot files. Does anyone have any ideas? Do you need more information? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. --Bill Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52619

    - .gadget file association help Hi, In an attempt to add WinRAR context menu items to .gadget files (to make extracting gadgets easier) I messed up the default association. I am not able to install any new gadgets now. Could someone help by doing either of the following: Exporting the file association from their registry and paste it in a reply, or Do the above +plus+ add in what would be needed to include the WinRAR context menu items. Obviously, this one would be preffered, but either would be a GREAT help! Thanks in advance, Ron Vista Ultimate x64 Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52611

    - Cant Install XP Pro x64 Ive decided that I absolutely HATE vista (which came pre-installed on my computer) and want to install XP Pro x64 on my computer in its place. I have a 3 HDD RAID 0 configuration, no floppy drive (a 52 in 1 card reader in its place), and an i680 EVGA MB. Additionally, I was not given any RAID drivers with the computer, just the OS software and a recovery disk. I have alot of data already on the 3 other partitions of my RAID drive so I dont want to destroy the RAID to get XP Pro x64. During the OS install, I get an error that no HDD was detected. When I press the F6 (I think that is the key) to install 3rd party SCSI or RAID controller, I eventually get pushed to another screen that says no floppy was detected then booted back to the no HDD was detected screen. So, where is this RAID driver (its not obvious on the EVGA website - just the newest "motherboard drivers" are there) and once I have the driver, how do I get the XP Pro x64 installer to install it since I have no floppy? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52603

    - XP Pro x64, new install, no taskbar My PC has an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU, and had been working fine with Windows XP home edition. I decided to upgrade to XP Pro, and since it is a 64 bit CPU decided to get the 64 bit version of XP. I installed a new full copy of XP Pro x64. Formatted the partition first. XP Pro x64 installed and was OK until I donwloaded and installed IE7 64 bit version. After installation and reboot I had a background but no icons and no taskbar or start button. I tried many suiggestions from the web but none helped. Since then i have tried additional clean installations, reformatting again in between, but now every installation leaves me with the same situation; no icons, no taskbar or start button. I can open task manger, but cannot get any programs to run from there. Safe mode does work. Any ideas what may have happened, and how to fix this?

    - Vista 64 - Incomplete booting after increasing RAM I increaased the RAM on my system from 1GB to 3 GB. The sticks are 2 1 GB sticks and 2 512 MB sticks. As long as I keep the 2- 1GB sticks installed Vista will not Boot completely. First It will take about 15 minutes to get to the user selection window. Then after selection the boot process will only go to the opening window with a gray portion showing where the task bar would be located and the rest of the screen black. I will get a dialog stating the Windows Explorer is not responding. It also offers two choices Close the program Wait for the program to respond. I first tried to wait for the program to respond. After a half an hour I figured it wasn't going to so I rebooted and went through the tedious boot process again. When I got the Dialog again I selected close the program. This time, a few seconds later, a still picture of my usual moving pictire screen appeared. However nothing else could be done. I did remove one of the 1 - GB sticks and the system seemed to boot normally. I also checked if the BIOS recognized the new memory and it did. The problem appears to begin after I get the initial moving bar at the beginning of the windows boot process. Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52532

    - System Restore is not working due to RPC server error Hi, I have a problem with my Vista x64 installation. Something happened on my system that lets 'System Protection', 'Backup and Restore center' and 'System Restore' fail with te following message: "The transfer syntax is not supported by the RPC server. (0x800706C2)" I would like to revert to an earlier restore point but unfortunately this problem prevents System Restore from working at all. I post the message here because after some digging I found out that the message has something to do with a 64bit (ndr64) RPC client trying to access a 32bit (dce) RPC server? Suggesting some 64bit component got replaced by a 32bit one? Any help would be much appreciated. Because the only other solution I see now is to reinstall my system. Tx, THomas.

    - Applications fail to load after chkdsk auto repair My system with raid5 disks(3disks) 'crashed' yesterday while I was using Internet Explorer 6, visiting some dynamic/ajax enabled webpage, and clicking on an ajax enabled button. Trust me when I say it was this one that locked up my pc this way. Not that worse that I lost all my precious data... some tough luck huh :D I had to manually turn my pc off and turned it on again. After BIOS, the raid controller/bios came with its errors. I skipped the error message and started to boot xp. Chkdsk ran and recovered some free disk space (here the mess really begins, as I would find out afterwards). The problem now is, when I startup my pc, I get stuck with many applications that try to startup, but all fail and error. All seem to be related to COM errors(? as far as I understand the next errors). - skype gives something with ole errors - winrar never opens up nor giving an error message visually (but it does in eventvwr - application - eventid 1000, and with file kernel32.dll) - winvnc gives a dozen or even a few dozens of errormessages every 2-3 secs after login with rpcrt4.dll, and another app as well... These are the noticeable errors. In eventviewer I found some more errors, most userevnt 1000 errors. Some application errors that popup also show "The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occured in the application at location 0x2d828acd ... ", as Adobe acrobat did. And if I start MS Word '03, it says something like "...documents cannot be linked this time..." and locks up. I believe chkdsk shouldn't free up that used disk space. This because I think it was partially pointing to data on the erroring raid5 disk. My suggestion to MS is, -if winxp can see that a RAID is giving errors- that chkdsk should not run after a one-raid5-disk-failure or a RAID degredation. Or else showing by default a message at auto chkdsk, with: "cancel chkdsk if you having RAID errors". Another possibility of the error(my actual problem) is it was created by the pc lockup where it all started. But there was no disk activity during manual shutdown, so... And another possibility is that one special website can lock my browser / pc up, -possibly- since the latest software changes: Some software changes which -might- have messed with my internet explorer: The latest software change I initialized was installing a .net mobile application devtoolkit, a .net sdk(v2.0 64bit), ASP.NET Futures July 2007(v1.2.61025), and a fix for asp.net framework v2.0.50727 (I can't find the fix version/name). This all around the 18th of October. I had the system lockup one time before, but managed to kill internet explorer and I could go on using my system. That was a few days before this happened, and... at the same website(tweakers.net, dutch site) with it's ajax enabled stuff. Last possibility is: the raid striping over the three disks was making a mess. Some error info about the raid array: One disk ended up with 'error' in nvidia mediashield (got an nforce4 chipset with raidcontroller), but healthy and the other 2 disks were 'degraded', but also healthy. This was right after the first reboot and chkdsk. Almost the same message was provided after BIOS by the raid controller (= before winxp boot). After rebuilding the RAID, nothing really changed, except the degradation was gradated again. Sorry for this huge explanation of my problem, but I wanted to give all the details so it could be used to possibly prevent this kind of problems in the future with RAID's, chkdsk by-design-flaws, Internet Explorer/.Net/Ajax or whatever contributed to my problem. But if someone could tell me how to recover (for free, don't going to pay for anybody's bugs) the chkdsk erasing action and/or how to normally use all my apps again without any windows or app reinstall, I would be very pleased.

    - Windows Support Tools I'm using XP Home Addition, but felt my problem would be answered better in this group. I was looking around on my HD and saw a folder C:\Bundle, so I clicked on it. There were two folders in it titled "support" and "valueadd". I clicked on the "support" folder, which went to "tools" and then there was a few files. I clicked on the "suptools" file (Window Installer) and up came a MS Install Wizard. I had two choices in the installer of a "typical" and "complete" install. I decided to do a restore point just in case something went wrong, so I canceled out and made the restore point. Then I went back and did the "typical" install. After looking through what got installed it became apparent this was meant for XP Pro and/or XP-64 and at levels beyond what I would use. There was no "un" install feature nor a Control Panel entry to remove what I just had installed. I went to System Restore and found that installing the Support Tools created it's own restore point and removed "all" previous restore points that were there before I did the install. I clicked on the restore point and after trying there was a message that my PC could "not" be restored to that point. It appears that everything is working OK so far, but I'd like to remove the Support Tools since I won't ever be using any of them. It put all of the apps in C:\Program Files\Support Tools. I'm sure there are register entries and such that got installed; is there anyway to remove what got installed "completely" as an "un" install feature would do ?? If not, will my PC suffer any ill effects from having installed these tools. Thanks in advance. Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52460

    - Cannot detect second hard drive after upgrade to Win XP 64-bit Hello, I recently upgraded my computer with a new motherboard and processor, but I kept my original two hard drives (one primary, one slave). Once the motherboard and processor was installed, I reinstalled windows xp. Prior to the upgrade I was running windows xp professional (32-bit) and decided to upgrade to windows xp professional (64-bit). During setup windows was able to see both hard drives. Windows was installed on the primary hard drive. Naturally, I had to reformat my primary hard drive, the second hard drive was not formatted. After installation I can only see the primary hard drive (C:). There is no icon or drive letter for the second hard drive (which should be labeled E:). I can see the drive in "device manager" and "computer management" but I cannot assign a drive letter. As far as I know, the hard drive and cables are functioning. Why can't I access my second/slave hard drive? Do I have to reformat the drive and lose all of my saved information? Tag: Vista 64 bit Blue Screens with 4gb of ram Tag: 52445

John:
Probable bios issue. Verify that the latest bios is installed. If the
latest bios is installed possibly running an earlier bios may resolve the
issue. Have a great day.
