    - BSOD Vista 64 I am experiencing what seem to be random Blue-Screen-of-Death errors on my experimental Vista 64 machine. They don't correlate directly to any user actions of mine. It does not happen in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. I've done what I can by unloading software and driver, but this is becoming over my head. I'm trying to avoid a complete re-install of Vista 64, if possible. In antcipation of requests, the information below is the BSOD text and the few reports I could find. I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks, Dave My configuration is: Compaq Presario SR1630NX with an AMD Athalon 64 3500+ processor Phoenix Technologies BIOS LTD 3.08,9/13/05 1 GB RAM Vista Ultimate RC1 6.0.5600 Build 5600 Built-in graphics: Radeon Xpress 200 EVGA Video GeForce 7300 GT (NVidea G73) 512 MB PCI-E GeForce-provided video driver nv3dum, nvd3dumx.dll nviddmkm.sys driver, version 7.15.10.9685 No dual-boot partitions set up All default installation selections ------------------- This is what my blue screen of death looks like: A problem has been detected and your computer has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    - How to restore dual boot of xp 32 & win 64 I got this from the planet 64 amd newsgroup. I had winxp 64 installed.I then installed Vista RC2 build 5744. I had a copy of Xp home kicking around and thought I would load it ,so when vista comes out I will use it to upgrade to vista. This way I can keep my win xp 64 & dual boot. After installing XPhome I could not dual boot error message was (ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted or missing) I tried everything I could think of to fix the dual boot. I fail miserbly. I came accross this msg. in the newsgroups on Plantnet64 amd. I thought I would give this a try. I followed the instructions carefully. It worked I now can boot vista using (Vista Pro Boot Manager). I can boot to vista Or Xp64 Or xp home 32. If u have had a hard time setting up dual boot after installing xp home try this it worked for me. To restore your dual boot of XP64 and XP32 you will need to run the recovery console from the XP32 install CD. When it asks you which installation you want to log on to make sure you log onto the XP64 installation. From there you should run the command "bootcfg /list" This will find and list all currently installed versions of windows on your system. After you run that you will need to run "bootcfg /rebuild" It will then search for the needed boot information you will get a prompt such as this: Total identified Windows Installs: 2 [1] C:Windows [2] D:Windows Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All) You should type "all" and hit enter From there you will be asked to Enter the Load Identifier. This is the name of the operating system. When you receive this message, type the name of your operating system, and then press enter. This is either Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. Then you will be asked to enter OS load options: When you receive this message, type "/fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn" (for XP32)or "/fastdetect /NoExecute" (for XP64) then press enter. You will be asked the same questions for each OS you have installed. after you have done this you will type "exit". the system will reboot. You may notice that there are 3 choices after using this to repair the dual boot. if this happens goto the boot.ini file in the root of C: and open it with wordpad or notepad. remove the extra line and save the file. Make sure that when you do this that the box for "always use this program to open this kind of file" is unchecked. You should be able to boot into both OSs properly now.

    - 2k3r2 64bit - cannot run networked applications All: (details) Probably a silly question but I just added an x64 r2 server to our domain. it is not a DC or a GC. I have successfully added the server to the domain. I am logged on a Domain Administrator. (issues) I cannot run any application on a network share. I have 1 TB in a raid array as D:. I've created a network share for D: in A/D as W:\. I cannot run any applications from W:, even though this is locally D:\. Running the same apps from D:\ works perfectly fine with no alteration. None of the A/D users or permissions or shares are 'new', meaning that the same setup has been working for the last 9 months since I built the domain, and still works fine on all the other shares/servers/pc's. I can browse everything. I can take ownership. The Compatibilty tab is greyed out however. (error syntax) Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41856

    - x64 install on RAID array Hey, I'm kinda stumped now. Thanks to those who helped me figure out how to get my new RAID array to show up in my existing copy of x64. I'm going to get rid of the old drive, but instead of copy the old machine onto the array, I want a clean Windows install. When I installed x64 before, I had to install a SATA driver during installation. I used a floppy with drivers on it, but have since gotten rid of the floppy drive. I made a CD with the required nVidia RAID drivers, but Windows Install only gives me the option of A:\ to search for the drivers. How can I install Windows on my RAID array by using a second CD with drivers on it? Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41830

    - Question: Mounting partition to NTFS folder. Quirky? Hey all, I recently bought a 300GB SATA drive. It installed beautifully, I got the BIOS configured, Windows found drivers for the device without me even having to do anything, blah blah blah. I used the LDMS to split the drive into two partitions: the first is 200GB and the second is about 80GB (the rest being eaten by the Retail Hard Drive Size Exaggeration Monster). I then mounted the partition into an NTFS folder, and tried to copy some files. Unfortunately, the copy failed almost immediately, saying that the file could not be found. I found this odd, as the file was certainly there. So I tried to delete the folder it created. Explorer acted as if the folder were in use, saying Access Denied. I was very confused about this bizarre behavior. I have another partition on an IDE drive mounted into a folder, and it works great. I tried reformatting the partition again, changing the cluster size, making sure the cable was plugged in well, and (of course) rebooting. I also ran Scandisk, which found no errors. As a last resort, I mapped the drive to a drive letter (rather than a folder). To my great surprise, everything worked. The files I could not previously copy (it is worth noting that it was the same files each time which refused to copy) now copied perfectly, and I could delete the previously undeletable folders. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I remounted it into a folder. Bam, the same files refused to copy, and the folders gave Access Denied errors again. I really want to mount this partition in a folder. Can anyone give me hints as to what I might be doing wrong about this? Is it a SATA/IDE issue, since that's the only difference between the partition I have mounted to a folder and the ones which are failing? More standard info: -The SATA drivers I'm using are apparently included with Windows. My motherboard manufacturer does not have 64-bit drivers for the SATA interface. The motherboard is an nForce 3 chipset (MSI K8N Neo2). Thanks much, Nathan Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41682

    - x64 Beta Test Opportunity I realize that most of the folks here are basically end users - we don't get all that many Server questions, after all. But at least I'm reasonably sure you all have at least one x64 machine or are thinking about one. Which would be cool for some products, but here's a chance for those of you with some _serious_ hardware to get in on the ground floor of a new Microsoft server offering - code name is Centro, and a description and a link to apply for the beta are in Kevin Beares blog, here: http://blogs.technet.com/kevin_beares/archive/2006/10/24/so-what-is-centro-you-ask.aspx I know that if Kevin is running the beta, or heavily involved, it will be fun and we'll have good communications. But before you all go running over to his site, let me warn you up front. The MINIMUM requirement is 3 - x64 machines to use as servers, and at least two client machines. That's a serious hardware hurdle, but the result looks like it's going to be a really cool and interesting product. So, if you're interested, now is definitely the time to apply. I hope to see at least some of you there. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41672

    - Q: programmable restart of a 64-bit driver from a 32-bit application Hello, we have an application that need to restart network driver to apply configuration changes without restarting the system.

But in case of 32-bits application on 64-bits system the SetupDiCallClassInstaller() function returns FALSE and reports 0xE0000235 code through GetLastError(). Is there a possibility to restart driver or just to propagate the setting changes to the driver from 32-bits application? Thanks in advance, Vladimir. Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41646

    - BSOD in ksthunk.sys when attempting kernel streaming audio Please provide any feedback regarding the feasibility of audio output by bypassing windows mixer and using either Kernel Streaming audio or ASIO4ALL drivers in WinXP Pro 64 bit. The objective is bitperfect SPDIF pass-through to to external AV receiver. I have been reading for 2 weeks everything available on the issue (very scarce info on x64 XP though), and attempted several OS **clean** installs, using official and non-official drivers, every time with the same result: blue screens caused by ksthunk.sys, immediately after either: a) using latest Winamp with kernel streaming output plugin, or b) attempting to run latest Asio4All offline settings panel However, the system can happily play via SPDIF Dolby Surround DVDs, AC3 xvid/divx, and some ac3 audio files (but not all ac3, neither Dolby or DTS wavs) using VLC, ffdshow and AC3 filter. Can XP Pro x64 do kernel streaming, or is it a hardware issue? If you need more details on the problem, I'd be happy to provide them.

    - Bugcheck: STOP 0x50 - Sanity: Losing Greetings everyone, This post is a follow-up to a previous post of mine from a while back, titled "System Crash - STOP 0x50", so firstly, if you want some extra background please quickly read that post! OK, this post is going to be fairly long, as I am going to lay out everything I know about the problem and have tried to rectify it, in the desperate hope someone can offer some help to solve the issue, because I am at my wits end. Issue Summary: I am getting STOP 0x50 bugchecks (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) frequently when doing certain tasks. Steps to reproduce: I have managed to pinpoint the exact activity required in order to cause the bugcheck. Namely, I must be running Winamp (v.5.32 - Current - x86) while also using WinImage (v.8.0.8000 - Current - x64). Winamp is a media player, as I'm sure most of you would be aware :) WinImage is a floppy image editing application, allowing the creation and modification of a diverse range of floppy disk image formats. Note that the bugcheck will not occur immediately, but will occur at some point during the continual concurrent use of these two applications. The time the bugcheck takes to manifest appears to be random, anywhere between 10 minutes and hours. I am still unsure if system uptime has any real impact on the time taken for the issue to manifest (e.g. quicker to crash after system has been up for 24+ hrs than from a fresh reboot). Hardware Information: The following is a list of the machines "critical" hardware. I have excluded minor components such as keyboard and mouse, as well as components highly unlikely to be the (potential) cause, such as hard-drives and optical-drives. Please feel free to request more detailed hardware information if you think it would help in any way! All of the below system components are running their latest respective drivers. ***Mainboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe ***Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ ***Memory: Kingston DDR 2x1024MB ***Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT ***Audio: Creative Audigy 4 System Configuration: The system is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 - Enterprise x64 Edition and is kept up-to-date with updates via the Microsoft Updates web-site and Automatic Updates. The system is configured to output kernel memory dumps, and has 4096MB of virtual memory. Troubleshooting Steps: 1. The system has had Windows Memory Diagnostics run in extended test mode for over 24 hrs straight with no errors recorded. 2. The system has had Stress Prime 2004 Orthos Edition v.0.41.110.18 run in blend mode (stress both CPU and RAM) for over 24 hrs straight with no errors recorded. For those unfamiliar with this program, it is based on Prime95 and adds a number of useful features, including dual core support. The test places the CPU and RAM of the system under extreme pressure, and is frequently used to stress test a machine to the maximum. 3. The system has had Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit installed for kernel memory crash dump analysis. This is way out of my league, as I have no expertise in the analysis of system memory crash dumps, but I have managed to gleam a number of useful bits of information from a basic analysis of the dumps. See below for further details. 4. The system has had Driver Verifier enabled with custom settings in an attempt to help isolate the problem (unsuccessful thus far). See below for further details. 5. The user has posted a desperate plea for help to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup ;) Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit: I have completed some very basic analysis of the kernel memory crash dumps through the use of WinDbg, and have made a few observations: ***Winamp.exe is always cited as the responsible process. However, if this is in fact true, I believe WinImage to be the "catalyst" for the bugcheck to occur, as I can run Winamp for seemingly any period of time without issue. It is only when used in conjunction with WinImage that the bugcheck occurs. ***The win32k!NtUserfnINDEVICECHANGE+0x1bb instruction is always listed as the ultimate culprit, and is always the final instruction in the stack trace before the page fault instructions. I have been desperately trying to find any information on this reference, yet have come up with nothing. Can anyone share any further light on this other than it's obvious implied function judging from its name? I have attached the latest debug output from WinDbg after running an !analyze -v on the latest crash dump, maybe someone much more qualified than I can gleam some more useful information from it? If anyone actually wants a copy of the crash dump, let me know, but I realise that's asking a lot. Driver Verifier: The Windows Driver Verifier has been enabled with custom settings as follows: ***Special pool ***Pool tracking ***Force IRQL checking ***All non Microsoft Corporation drivers have been selected for verification. Once again, this kind of tool is well out of my expertise, so I'm uncertain if these are "good" settings. Thus far, they haven't revealed anything interesting in the form of different bugcheck messages or different data during the analysis of the latest kernel memory crash dump. Random Thoughts: 1. I am 99% certain that the issue is not caused by a hardware problem. I draw this conclusion from two lines of reasoning; the system is able to successfully complete all diagnostics I have thrown at it, including ones involving extreme system stress, and the system is able to run Windows XP Professional (32-bit) without issue, which was the previous operating system in use. 2. I am beginning to wonder if the problem lies in win32k.sys itself, and is not a driver issue. This is mainly because I have had absolutely zero success in isolating the problem to a specific driver. However, I'm really not qualified to make that kind of conclusion, just voicing my thoughts. 3. Would changing the crash dump type to a complete memory dump be at all beneficial? Could it possibly reveal more through something as simple as the standard !analyze -v command in WinDbg? That about covers everything I can think up for now. Apologies for the length of this post, however, I'm just trying to provide as much information as possible in the hope some of it may lead to a solution. Thanks in advance for any help at all! -Samuel Denbigh Leslie Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41623

    - Move maker My move maker program is giving me an error which shuts everything down. I have tried to reinstall from Windows but it does not seem to help. I have also tried to reinstall SP2 but it will not allow me to. I get automatic updates and it is updated as of the present date. Can anyone help me in resetting the move maker program? I am not sure what happened. I did use another program for other move files. It may have overwritten something? jea Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41615

    - language bar is not working in x64 only I have installed Vista RTM enterprise version at work and home. At work I run a 32-bit machine and 64 bit at home. The language bar install and works fine with the 32 bit, but will refuse to appear with the 64 bit. I have Office 2007 on both machines. I have tried removing all keyboard input languages but English and adding one back, but it will not appear. This appears to be a bug as the language bar option is not even displayed in the taskbar toolbar options. Can anyone with Vista x64 add an additional language and get the bar to appear?

    - Ghost menu's I have users who have problems with parts of their Windows XP x64 system appear when they are using a piece of software, by SolidWorks, they are on Solidworks 2007 x64 edition and using NVIDIA with a x64 bit driver that SolidWorks approves to work for their system. SolidWorks and NVIDIA swear it is WINDOWS, and it seems that it's a guessing game for who is responsible. Users often have problems where they select, say File, from the File Menu and part of that will NOT go away, you need to log off and on again for the window part or menu to go away. It ghosts and blocks all other windows. It stays there like you have a burned in image, but it is as if you still kept it. Sorta like how one window blocks another. It is on multiple people's system who have been used with Symantec Ghost, to create an exact copy of their system for network builds for our corporate network. It is strange.

    - Need help with Virtual PC 2007 I installed Virtual PC 2007 on XP professional 64 bit edition. Once I boot to the virtual environment, all I have is a CDrom drive and a floppy drive. I did create a virtual hard drive but I cannot see it in the virtual environment. Is there supposed to be a virtual hard drive available? If so, I cannot find it. I followed the instructions for installing an operating system on the virtual hard drive but when I ran the setup program for win95 it didnt do anything and just put me back at the a: drive cursor. Does anyone know how to use Virtual PC 2007? Am I doing something wrong? I read the help and it says I should be able to install an operating system on it but there is no mention of what the Hard drive letter is in the virtual environment. Is XP pro 64 not supported? Thank You Kevin Tag: IA64 : archiving tools Tag: 41556

For those that care about IA64, there is a new zip/archive build of 7-zip
that is native IA64. Winzip will work, but the perfomance dogs due to
running in vastly inferior WoW64 of IA.
