    - x64 Edition Not Booting I have downloaded the x64 trial edition of Windows XP Pro. When loading from boot to install it, it does to the installation screen and loads everything. Then when it says that it's starting Windows, it stops working and hangs-up. The HDD LED stops flashing and it just completely freezes. I have an Abit AA8XE mainboard with most recent BIOS update and an Intel 640 CPU. I don't understand why this isn't working. Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 4046

    - Java Runtime Installation Error on XP 64 bit Hi, I am attempting to install the Java Runtime file on my Windows XP 64 system. I've attempted both the JRE 32 bit - jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p, and the 64 bit - jre-1_5_0-rc-windows-amd64, by the manual downloads, either file i get an error after i choose either Custom or Express install. (one of those with the "send error report" options) DPE is not active, when it is, it pauses the installation on the Custom or Express choice. Any ideas on how i could get Java Runtime installed on this system? Thanks ahead of time, RK Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 4017

    - An on-the-ball software developer... I posted below that Paragon Drive Backup does not work on x64, but it's a great product on 32 bit XP. Joseph Conway recommended that I email Paragon and ask them their plans. I did, and below is what I got back in short order. I'm impressed! Dear Martin! Yes, there are such plans. At present our software is being tested for compatibility with 64-bit platforms. In the nearest future we are going to realize 64-bit both Windows and Linux versions of our products. Would you please provide us with some technical information about configuration of the workstation which you are going to install our software to? Describe briefly the hardware: CPU, RAM, computer model, SCSI controllers, hard disks, CD/DVD drive etc. This information will be very useful for us. If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us. ______________________ Best regards, Konstantin Kamanin Paragon Software Group mailto:support-team@paragon.ag Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 4001

    - dvd/cd combo drive... i'm having trouble getting xp64 to "see" burned dvds. my system is a presario r3240us with amd athlon64 and xp64 os, with a combo cd-r/rw dvd+r/rw drive (model hl-dt-st gca-4040n, apparently made by lg). i've used several software apps to burn the data, with the latest run on vso's copytodvd. each app shows progress and a completed task, but nothing shows in win explorer at the end except a "blank cd". checking on another machine running 32-bit xp pro, the data have been successfully burned to the dvd and show up appropriately.the same pattern occurs despite using different discs (all rated for the appropriate burn speed) made by different companies. finally, movie-encoded dvds do play properly, whether triggered by autoplay or manually started. and burned cds show up just fine. any thoughts on why the machine isn't reading the dvd appropriately? thanks, kevin Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 3970

    - 2 copies of internet explorer???!!! when i upgraded to XP x64 edition i noticed to my disgust that there are 2 versions of ie. a 32 bit and a 64 bit one. If i'd wanted a 32 bit copy i'd have stuck with XP x86! So what i'd like to know is... 1. is there any reason why internet explorer had to have 2 copies, x64 and x86? whereas outlook express, notepad, and nearly every other application bundled managed to get by with just the one (x64) copy? 2. is there any way i can get rid of the x86 version as windows keeps using it as my default web browser and i hate having 2 programs for the same jjob on my computer... to me its just messy thanks Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 3953

    - x64 Drivers for Promise RAID PDC20319 Have just installed the trial version of XP x64. All went pretty well. Only have problems with my RAID controller for my Promise RAID PDC20319 and the AC97 Audio codecs that come with the Intel 6300ESB southbridge chip and an old IEEE1394 capture card. Well done Microsoft!! My system has an ASUS NCCH-DL server mainboard with 2x Xeon 3.2GHz processors, 2x512Mb Corsair DIMMS, 2x250Gb SATA WD HDDs (RAIDed), 1x 17Gb Seagate SCSI HDD (on a 19160 Adaptec SCSI adaptor), 1x80Gb IDE Seagate boot drive with a Gigabyte Radeon 9550 Graphics Card. I have trawled through the Intel, Asus websites & many forums for drivers to get the Promise RAID chip and AC'97 audio working. Has anyone had any success with these two items?

    - Sidewinder Gotcha! I know 64bit is targeted as a serious workstation OS but I thought I would pass on my latest 64bit gotcha! I plugged in my Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel for the first time since upgrading and...nothing. After checking the Microsoft Web site I remembered the hardware was discontinued a year or so back so I guess the drivers for them when never ported. Therefore ALL Microsoft sidewinder games controllers will not work in Win64...ever!

    - Active X When on-line, I get prompted to install Active X several times (depending on the site). I click and select install now and 1 of 2 things happens. It either asks for the run now or save, or it does nothing. I've tried the install when asked. 2 or 3 pages later, it will ask again. I selected install 4 or 5 times in one night. So, 'is active x 64 bit compliant'? Is there an issue with IE64? A combination of the two? Most importantly, how do I fix it? Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 3901

    - I've been wondering (Re: Orders) I've just been thinking... If the orders opened up on the 25th of april... wouldn't you think that at least *some* copies had been produced for this 25th date? Did *anyone* receive their Trade-In copies? If so, then that clears everything up, they made a few, and ran out in the first day, right? But I've not heard of anyone receiving their Trade-In copies... Just gift copies and OEM purchases... Isn't it strange that they didn't have *any* ready to ship? FYI, I only recently ordered (my OEM COA wasn't being accepted until last week), so I know I'm not gonna see it for weeks... I just found it strange that the trade-in program would have been activated without any supply (aparently). Anyone want to add some insight into this?

    - Reverting to windows 32 bit xp Just though I would drop by one last time and say thank you for the help and goodbye :) I am going back for two reasons. one, I don't think there will be 64bit drivers available for things like printers, scanners, webcams, ipods for a good long time if ever, companys put there development money where the market is and x64 will be a hobby os for sometime to come and. I am not going to run a system that has problems installing games :) and I know there are ways to trick the games into installing. Two, it appears that MS and Intell and the recording industry are going to force some fool copyright software down our throats in the dual core pentiums and if thou I do not beleive it is right to steal software I do not think this is the way to go, besides I am real tired of calling india everytime I want to reinstall windows xp home. MS has to understand that that people in poor countrys will continue to steal the os no matter what they do, I am amazed when I travel to the carribean how many people do this. So, thanks again and good luck with x64. -- Is It True? Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 3887

    - Is it safe to install the windows 64bit Edition Trial or otherwise My Question is: Is it safe to install the windows64bit edition trial or otherwise on my laptop? Its an AMD64 HP DP533AV R3200 Compaq Laptop, 512MB RAM, 40GB, DVD/CDR. Because it says in the manual that my currently installed windows xp home edition is 'OPTIMIZED" for my laptop. If I install the windows 64bit edition OS will it still be optimized for whatever special reason my OS has to be optimized to whatever setup i have on my laptop? Thank you, i just hate having to reformat and install everything again plus copy my files back whenever microsoft doesnt tell you things ahead of time or if HP doesnt, because last time when i tried installing windows SP2 my laptop didnt restart anymore, and then HP said they dont recommend installing the SP2...... waste of time and energy.

    - XP 64 Bit, IIS and Access 2000 Any help with this is appreciated. I upgraded my pc to 64 bit motherboard, processor and XP 64 bit. When I try to access an Access 2000 database, using ASP on my local pc I receive an error "'800a0ea9' Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider." The offending code is "strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/db/sample.mdb")" It works fine on the net and the db is located under wwwroot/db/. I'm a newbie to IIS, but I'm pretty sure I have permissions correct. Thinking it's a driver issue I've downloaded the latest jet, but on instal this errors "This KB829558 is for a different hardware platform." Thinking it may be MDAC I downloaded MDAC_TYP.EXE, but this errors "This setup does not support installing on this operating system."

    - user account recovery... for background: i'm working a presario r3000 series with amd athlon 64, trial version of xp pro 64-bit and office xp pro package. in loading the customer preview version of xp64 (before the trial set which is now running), i did a full install rather than a partitioned run. the result, i overwrote the existing user accounts and computer name from the previous xp pro 32-bit os. no problem, except i had a suite of files encrypted. and, no, i had neither designated a recovery agent nor copied the certificate to a floppy/other computer (yes, i know, STUPID!). i've gone back and found the user name (e.g., steve(steve@STEVESLAPTOP)) and certificate generated during the encryption process by digging through the recycler folders. but, since i switched user account names and renamed the computer (no longer, e.g., STEVESLAPTOP) during the xp64 load, i still can't access the suite of encrypted files no matter what i've tried. my question, then: is there a way to restore/recreate that user account so that xp sees the certificate that remains on the machine? i haven't tried it -- because it seems too stunningly simple, occam's razor not withstanding -- but i doubt that simply renaming the computer and creating an account with the same name as before would work. it's incredibly frustrating to be this close to recovering data and not knowing how to do so (if it's even possible). thanks for any help, kevin Tag: XP 64 and disappearing icons Tag: 3654

This problem just started to happen. I have 64 running good except now when
I shut down and the desktop is fine. Sometimes when I reboot the icons on
the desktop and in the quick launch bar have disappeared and I have to redo
the whole desktop and Quick Launch. Then I am allset till the next time.
Has anyone else seen this problem or have any suggestions as to a fix?
