    - I think I have dll conflict 1. Fineprint x64 prints blank pages, but sometimes, it works. 2. Terratec DMX 6fire emits stray static noise in the analog outputs occasionally. The digital output always works flawlessly. I email Terratec but they had never seen the problem. I removed the Terratec beta driver and reinstalled it, then Fineprint and the sound card work without any problems......until I reboot the computer. Then Fineprint prints blank pages and Terratec makes stray sound again. Nobody can tell me what's wrong. What can I do? Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29815

    - Hp Cp-1700D Howdy Folks Does anyone know if there are X64 drivers for the Hp Cp-1700D printer? I'm really annoined that Hp seem to be dragging their feet on this, they had plenty of time to have released something by now. I am thinking that if something does not happen soon that I will NEVER buy another HP product again this was my fourth Hp printer which does A3 and duplexing. Thank you.

    - MS wireless model 1027 keyboard & Mouse I have a MS wireless photo keyboard (model 1027) and wireless Intellimouse explorer 2.0. I installed it using the disk that came with it, everything worked fine until about a week ago. Now whenever I boot my system it will go through the Windows XP logon screen, prompt for my password and then it will start to loose power as though there is a loose connection. It will then shut down and reboot, it may go through this process several times before it gets a "good connection" and stays on. I narrowed it down to this problem by using a hard wired keyboard and mouse which eliminated the problem. I reinstalled the drivers from the disk and also checked the MS web-site for updates. A friend mentioned that since I have "Automatic Updates" turned on it is possible that MS updated a driver that caused the problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so what if anything did you do to fix it? Thanks and may the Lord bless you! Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29774

    - Help! _VtblGapPlaceHolder1() added during preprocessing Hi, Yet another problem of different behavior exhibited when building on Win2k and XP. Using AMD64 environment (Windows 2003 SDK SP1-April2005 edition - /XP64 /RETAIL options set) and VS2003 IDE to compile a file. This cpp file is importing a typelibrary like this: #import "COMLib.tlb" //.... code //.... code When I compile this file in Win2k and generate preprocessor output (/P option), I see that for an interface definition, two extra methods are being added (_VtblGapPlaceHolder1( ) and 2..) struct __declspec(uuid("4730c519-8998-43f6-993b-80befea1d404")) ITCSpecific : IUnknown { HRESULT GetUserKey(/* removed params */ ); HRESULT ReleaseSpace ( ); HRESULT WriteValue (/*removed params*/ ); virtual HRESULT _VtblGapPlaceholder1( ) { return ((HRESULT)0x80004001L); } virtual HRESULT _VtblGapPlaceholder2( ) { return ((HRESULT)0x80004001L); } virtual HRESULT __stdcall raw_GetUserKey ( /*deleted other params*/ ) = 0; virtual HRESULT __stdcall raw_ReleaseSpace ( ) = 0; virtual HRESULT __stdcall raw_WriteValue (/*deleted params*/ ) = 0; }; Under same conditions on Win XP SP2 however, the preprocessor output does not have these PlaceHolder methods. And my server dll was built on XP SP2. :( so when I build client on Win2K, method invocation is messing up due to extra 16 bytes added to vtbl offset because of PlaceHoler() methods. and so instead of invoking GetUserKey(), WriteValue() gets invoked. WHY, WHY!! Why is the compiler behaving differently on Win2k and Win XP SP2. What brings in _vtblGapPlaceHolder1() methods??? I can't ship my SDK code until it is buildable from Win2K and XP SP2 targeted to 64-bit environment. :(( ved Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29741

    - News: Microsoft Smooths Road to Vista with Apptimum Buy Qoute: Microsoft announced March 7 that it is has acquired application-transfer specialist Apptimum for an undisclosed sum. Formerly Eisenworld, Apptimum, based in Sunrise, Fla., began in 1998 and is best known for PC relocation products branded with the vacation-friendly moniker "Alohabob," named after the founder's father, who lives in Hawaii. Microsoft's plans for the acquired intellectual property and technology assets of Apptimum are focused on streamlining the application transfer process between older and newer computers, with an emphasis on Window's Vista migration. Read the rest here http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1935330,00.asp Interesting purchase, I thought originally that Microsoft was developing a migration technology in house for Vista. My reason for believing this was after seeing a demo presented at WinHEC 2004 by Microsoft Platform Group President Jim Allchin showing what had seem to be a prototype migration tool for what at the time was named Windows "codename" Longhorn. Alohabob has been around for a while, I first heard about it on TechTV as a highly recommended solution for migrating PC settings to a new computer. Its gonna be free for Windows Vista users, so you really can't beat that. What I think would be great is migration of registry settings, if Microsoft works migrating Registry settings to Vista from say.. a Windows XP computer, it would definitely be awesome. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29707

    - PROBLEMS! Hi, Ive recently took the jump to xp x64, the main reason for this is because of how quick it deals with large apps. Its on my system and working (in a fashion) however none of my software seams to work now, Quark, Corel, Adobe and even my security is down. Ive been to the sites and tried to look for x64 updates and drivers but with no results! Yes I know its my fault and I should have done a little more research into compatibility. I'm possible going to go back to the 32bit system but I'd like to give this a chance to work. Any help on this would be very great and suggestions for software that other people are using in XP x64 would also help. Thanks in advance, Sam. Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29687

    - different behavior of AMD64 compiler 14.00.40310.41 on Windows xp and 2k Hi All, I found Windows AMD64 compiler behaving differently When used on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2K professional. (both using Windows 2003 SP1 SDK - April edition) I've a .tlb which is imported in my .cpp file. This typelibrary has a structure defined inside and I'm using it in my code. XXX.cpp: #import COMLib.tlb using namespace COMLib; .... main() { COMLib::STRUCTDAT structData; } .... // When the project is compiled on XP SP2 with VS2003 IDE, the tlh code generated looks like follows: // Created by Microsoft (R) C/C++ Compiler Version 14.00.40310.41 (cda64a29). //... #pragma once #pragma pack(push, 8) namespace COMLib { .... .... #pragma pack(push, 4) //////Here is the difference, on WIN2k, this value is 8. struct STRUCTDAT { unsigned long ValidationDataLength; unsigned char * ValidationData; }; #pragma pack(pop) .... .... } #pragma pack(pop) While on Win2k the same project under same environment the tlh generated looks like // Created by Microsoft (R) C/C++ Compiler Version 14.00.40310.41 (b739b039). //... #pragma once #pragma pack(push, 8) namespace COMLib { .... .... #pragma pack(push, 8) //////Here is the difference, on WINXP, this value is 4. struct STRUCTDAT { unsigned long ValidationDataLength; unsigned char * ValidationData; }; #pragma pack(pop) .... .... } #pragma pack(pop) Because of the wrong alignment on XP, sample built here fails while built on Win2K succeeds.

    - Windows Vista 5308 64bit Hi I installed Windows Vista 5308 Beta 64bit on my Acer 5002 WLMi. It took a massive 10GB hard disk space. The first window I got after running it had a 'Not Responding' message! Windows Vista has an amazing look with a lot of softwares pre installed. So you don't have to install softwares such as Windows Defender later on. I tried installing the drivers I installed for Windows XP X64. The AC97 driver got installed perfectly. The SIS VGA driver was giving some repeated errors during installation but still the files and drivers were installed. Sadly, the SIS VGA (SIS M760GX) is highly unstable on vista. My 802.11b/g driver failed to install. Has anyone of you tried installing Windows Vista? Please let me know your experience. Hemanth Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29678

    - 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: Visual Studio 6.0 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.

    - 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?

    - 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.

    - 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: Visual Studio 6.0 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. Thank You, Sam Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29555

    - When can I buy a real version of this? I have a new system AMD64 3000+, I have XP Home installed on this old computer that is still running (FTP uploading to web, webcam, weather station....) On the new I have only x64 running. I love it! Took 2 days to work out the bugs (drivers and so) Everything works now (except HP Photosmart P1000:( ) Yesterday I downloaded the multilingual pack so now It can speak German to me as well. 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? I know alot of you have problems with this OS, but I am impressed with the speed and ease at which I can work with Video stuff, which is mainly all i do anyway. Maybe if I talk big for MS they will give it me Gratis! ha ha Thanks for all the help Speed Limit 64! Monique Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29481

    - Digital recorder driver? I have an Olympus digital voice recorder but cannot download my files to an x64 system. Olympus said it does not make an x64 driver. Anyone have any ideas for a workaround? Is there any kind of generic driver that might work? For those of you familiar with Olympus DVRs, I have been able to install the Digital Wave Player and the device detector. But neither one can see the recorder when it's plugged into the USB. Any ideas would we welcome. Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29458

    - Can't save OE password The option to save the password for my email account is grayed out in OE. Is this a known X64 issue? Seems I read somewhere that OE is still 32-bit, not 64-bit. 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. And it won't let me click the box below the password that would allow the pw to be saved. Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29456

    - Acronis TrueImage Did anyone out there get Acronis TrueImage 9 to run on XP 64 bit? Tag: Visual Studio 6.0 Tag: 29445

What happens if you install Visual Studio 6.0 sp6 on a Windows XP Pro
x64 bit OS. When I tried installing it, the installer throws a
compatibility warning.

Is this service pack not needed for this OS?
