    - Blue screen's on start up Hi, I have just got my pc back from the shop after a week and I am still having the same problem I sent it in with. About every second or so start up I recive a blue screen, windows then reboots, I select start windows normally and it normally continues to load properly (sometimes I have to select start from last knowen good config). The blue screen message I am getting is \systemroot\system32\config\security or its log or atternate is corrupt, absent or not writable. I have been having this problem since day one when I brought the computer but I have been busy with assesments and have a lot coming up soon so I can't afford to send it back to the shop for them to look at it again and not have the problem appear for them again. My system details are Windows Vista 64 ultimate SP1 2x2GB ram Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 2x500GB segate HDD in raid 1 Intel 8400 duel core cpu MSI 8800GT GFX card Please can someone help me, if I can't get this problem fixed I am going to have to return vista and get XP as one of the guys at the computer shop said to just blame vista for this problem.

    - Using printmig.exe to migrate printers from 32bit to 64bit W2K3 Hello, I'm trying to migrate 500 printers from a W2K 32bit standalone server to a W2K3 64bit cluster and have a few questions left unanswered...I have a standalone 64bit test server and till now I didn't get the printers to work nor to be displayed in the printers & faxes window. Though I can see the printer entries under HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/print/printers !? The printmig tool doesn't give any error during backup/restore. No errors in pm.log either... Restoring to a 32bit W2k3 system worked like a charm. All of the printers are HP and are covered by the 64bit Universal Print Driver. and the printmig that was created on the 32bit W2K server contains all 32bit drivers for the printers. So, 1. Do I have to install the 64bit UPD prior to the printmig restore? 2. Can I use printmig for 32bit to 64bit printer migration? 3. Scripted migration? 4. Anything else i forgot...? Any help is welcome.

    - Random reboots while trying to install xp64 I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out why my newly built computer randomly reboots during the Windows XP 64bit installation. The furthest I've ever gotten was to select my time-zone. Some times it even reboots during the initial loading of system files (right after loading F6 SATARAID drivers). I've pulled out all RAM except one stick in DIMM 1. I've disconnected my other 3 SATA HDD's including the 2 in RAID 0. All that's currently left on the mobo is my SATA Raptor, SATA burner, and my 8800GT video card. Even when I pulled out all of my SATA devices and used an IDE burner and an IDE HDD, the system would still randomly reboot. I've flashed the BIOS to Rev 1.1 which is the only option MSI offers for the mobo after Rev1.0. My BIOS recognizes all of my drives, and all 8GB of my RAM (although not running at the 1066 speed). The drive boot order is set up for Floppy, Burner, and then formatted HDD. I've reseated every single connection in my system except for the CPU, and unfortunately I don't have another PSU to try out. Also, which F6 drivers am I supposed to use? nVidia has SATARAID drivers for WinXP64 for both my 780I-SLI Northbridge, and for my 570I-SLI Southbridge (and I know what my SB is used for). I've even tried using all 4 drivers for F6. So to sum it up... no matter if I'm using SATA drives or IDE drives, my system randomly reboots during Win XP64 installation.

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: Windows Installer 4.5 released 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: Windows Installer 4.5 released 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. . .

    - 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.

    - 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?

    - Userenv Error I have a Windows 2003 server Single domain network. All computers are Windows XP Pro 32 bit. We just purchase a computer DELL T3400 with 64 bit and XP x64 bit. I Joined the cmputer with Domain and rebboted. I have several errors in my Event Log. Application Error: Userenv EventID:1053 Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted. Soultion 1: ------------- In Event Viewer, click System, and check for any networking-related messages, such as Netlogon messages, that indicate a network connectivity issue I found a Netlogn Error in System Events: ----------------------------------------------- This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain "COMPANYNAME" due to the following: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request. This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator. ADDITIONAL INFO If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain. This solution wasn't very helpful because I did have logon server available and working fine and processing all the log-on requests. Solution 2: ------------ At the command prompt, type netdiag, and note any errors. Those errors usually have to be resolved before Group Policy processing can continue Not Applicable because this command is not available on Windows XP x64. Soultion 3: ------------- At the command prompt, type gpupdate, and then check Event Viewer to see if the Userenv 1053 event is logged again. It didn't created/write 1053 event (Refereshing Policy didn't generate any errors) Solution 4: ----------- To verify that the domain controller can be contacted through Domain Name System (DNS), try to access \\mydomain.com\sysvol\mydomain.com, where mydomain.com is the fully qualified DNS name of your domain I was able to access the share \\mydomain.com\sysvol\mydomain.com and found 2 folders "Policies" and "scripts" Solution 5: ------------ Verify that you can access the domain controller by using tools such as the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in Solution 5 is not possible with Windows XP PRO 64 bit but I was able to access Active Dir Users and Computers from Windows XP Pro 32.

    - Blank screen half the time after windows vista x64 loading bars Half of the times I boot vista 64 bit up it is absolutley fine. The other half is something which has very much plagued me for the last week and beginning to stress me out a bit. When it goes wrong: All goes well and the vista login bars go by and then suddenly I get a black screen then my monitor tells me it isn't connected to the PC. I'm running a Palit 8800GT. I updated the drivers to old and new and still had this issue. After about 10 seconds of this no connection the PC reboots and normally this time it will load into vista just fine and tell me that it has had a 'bluescreen' problem with the following information: BCCode: d1 BCP1: FFFFF9804C21C00C BCP2: 0000000000000002 BCP3: 0000000000000000 BCP4: FFFFF98003D4B43E I have tried reformating and reinstalling everything and still have the issue. Does anyone know what it could be? Thanks Tag: Windows Installer 4.5 released Tag: 59461

    - 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: Windows Installer 4.5 released 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.

    - 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: Windows Installer 4.5 released Tag: 59417
