    - XP 64bit and Vista 64bit questions I've got one computer to migrate to Vista Business 32-bit and one to migrate to either XP Pro 64-bit or Vista Business 64-bit, but the questions involve both platforms. One computer is a 32-bit computer running XPPro, with it's printers shared out to a (second) 64-bit computer running XP Home 32-bit at the moment. The first is upgrading to Vista Business 32-bit, and the second one is going to upgrade to either XP Pro 64-bit or Vista Business 64-bit. Will the computer ending up at Vista Business 32-bit have issues after the upgrade sharing printer drivers with the 64-bit computer, or do I need to do separate driver installations for both printers (assuming I get printer drivers for Vista Business and XPPro 64-bit for both printers)? I would assume that printer drivers if both machines end up at Vista Business will be simpler. What wireless cards are available that run under Vista Business or Vista Business 64-bit? What wireless cards are available that run under XP Pro 64-bit? Will the 64-bit machine show any performance improvement in running Doom 3 and Quake 4 <g>? It comes with 2 gigs of RAM and a 512-meg ATI Radeon X1300 card in an AGP slot, and ATI just released 64-bit drivers for the card. The motheboard manufacturer has also just released 64-bit drivers for XP Pro and for Vista. Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44951

    - internet access blocked I am using Firefox web browser with Windows XP64 to view mapquest.com, but after a minute or two of pushing the map around web access is completely non functional. Internet explorer is also non functional. I have already asked my ISP about this. They had me change or enable my activex and reboot my computer and router but abviousely it has not helped. If I reboot my computer and router and wait a while I am able to get back to normal operation. What is mapquest doing that messes my system up? Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44944

    - XPx32 to Vistax64 switch - Indecisive I'd like to switch from XP Pro x32 to Vista Ultimate x64 but all the talk of software and driver compatibility problems has me 'frightened' to make the switch. If I do switch, I'd buy Vista Ultimate x64 at retail. My PC is OK for it. I have an HP xw6200 workstation with dual Xeon 3.6GHz CPUs and 5GB RAM installed (2 2-GB DIMMS and 2-51 GB DIMMS.) I have 5GB because HP wouldn't sell the xw6200 here in Canada without the two 512s installed. I'll be replacing them with two 2GB DIMMS if I upgrade the OS. From the HP website, the HP ixw6200 is Vista x64 compatible and drivers are available for all the internal hardware (sound & video cards, DVD burners, etc.. I have dual 23" wide-screen displays off an nVidia Quadro FX4400. card I've provided a list of my main software and hardware peripherals below. I've tried to check the manufactures' sites for compatibility but it gets pretty confusing. I've read several other threads here that make me think moving to x64 is a wise thing for me to do but I'm still concerned about how much of my software and peripherals will not work. I hope I'm not being too 'selfish' by asking for opinions on my specific situation. How many things won't work? I need a feel for exactly how messy this switch would be. Software: Many Adobe applications including, PS CS2 (running CS3 Beta), Premiere Pro 1.5, After Effects 6.5, Audition 1.5, Acrobat 7. Microsoft Office 2000 Pro (although I don't mind upgrading to Office 2007 if I have to) IIS 5.1, Nero 6 Ultra, Trend PC-illiin 2007, and over 100 lesser know programs, like WinFax, Quicken, Tax software, FlipAlbum, Panorama Factory, GPS and mapping software and much, much more. Hardware peripherals: Epson scanner V750 Pro (x64 drivers available), Nikon CoolScan IV, Canopus ADVC-300, Wacom graphics tablet model ET, a Palm OS PDA (Sony Clie), 7 external HDs (some Firewire and some USB), a USB connected MP3 player, a Bluetooth USB adapter for my cell phone, 2 DVD HP burners (know to have x64 Vista drivers), an external USB phone modem for faxing, 2 USB connected digital cameras, one Firewire connected video camera, a Garmin Vista GPS (ironic eh?) that connects via the workstation's serial port.

    - OT Request for Comments Sorry to post this in this group as it is way off topic, but, there are a lot of switched on people in here I've just got in from seeing a client I built a machine for him close on 12 months ago Some of the USB ports have failed so I have had to install another main board I explained to the client that because of the way oem Windows works I would have to install a fresh copy of Windows This I bought and have not charged for I also explained that this would mean a complete reformat of his hard drive with total loss of data and he should back up everything he see's fit He said that he backs everything up but would I do the same I agreed and asked him if he keeps everything in his Document and Settings folder or does he keep any data in any other locations He said that everything was in his Documents and Settings folder When I picked up his machine he added the fact that there were some emails that were very important and he must have them restored He asked if I could back them up and I said yes and backed up his Outlook Express folder The upshot is that when I have returned his machine and set up a firewall, antivirus software, anti malware/spyware software And configured his email client and restored all of his email And, then installed his Office suite And then installed his printer He then says where is all the stuff on my desktop To cut a long story short I had to say is that it did not exist any more It appears that there were some [very] important documents on there His argument is that I should have told him he should have backed up his desktop My argument is that if any data is important then it should be backed up on at least a daily basis I couldn't explain this as he was in a state of total loss of control and I really thought he was going to physically atack me He also said that he will be sueing me Can anyone suggest my best course of action here My initial feelings are to email him and explain that all I had to do was to replace his main board and install the Windows operating system Any data and programs should have been his responsibility The additional work was PR Given that a lot of people here work in the IT industry do you think this is a good idea or should I let him talk to his legal people who may tell him that he should have backed up his system first, before allowing the format of a hard drive, and then let him get back to me This is the first time I've been in this position and hope that if someone has been in this situation themselves they could let me know how they handled it Again, sorry this is so off topic but the only people that may have experienced this are here Mike Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44936

    - Vista 64 and Kodak Easyshare problem I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Kodak Easyshare software. After rebooting, the software loads, and then I get an error that states "Thunking spooler APIS from 32 to 64 process has stopped working" and it goes through checking for solutions from Microsoft, and ends the process. Easy share works to the extent that it opens and runs, but you cannot print from within the program. Anybody else experienced this? Any ideas? I've searched Kodak's website, and find no mention of this problem, and very sketchy information about it period. Also searched Microsoft's Knowledge Base to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44932

    - change 32Bit in 64Bit? Hallo! I bought a version of WinXP SP2 Pro with the "Vista for Free" package. All works fine & in a few days I'll hopefully get my version of Vista Business. BUT: Since the time came, I upgraded my computer to a Core2Due CPU and now I want to run a Vista in 64Bit. So my question: Do I have to buy an second Vista in 64Bit or is it true that all DVDs have both Versions (32 & 64bit) included? As you can imagine, I'm not willing to buy jet another version, becaus money don't grow on trees today! cYa Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44911

    - Email I rebooted my computer and it did not recognize my Outlook 2003 email account. It welcomed me to Outlook and asked me to set up an account which I eventually did but now my account has no record of all my previous emails. It also kept asking me to tour XP as if I just installed it. My other programs seem to be OK but other office programs such as word, excell etc. show no evidence of my being there before. The big problem is Outlook and the loss of my email. Can anyone help? Does it have anything to do with IE 7? Tom Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44750

    - backups When I run the reccommended backups for the Small Business Accounting it will shuffle the order of the items listed in customers invoices. (NOTE) Frequently my customers will have open partially paid invoices for as long as a year or more due to the nature of the business. Anyone know of a way to stop this as I really need the chronological order of the sales to be reflected on the invoice. Cheers Dave Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44745

    - O.T. - I'm not surprised! Just read this on THG Daily: February 13, 2007 14:19 A Department of Justice audit has found that the Federal Bureau of Investigation loses approximately three laptops per month. The FBI loses the majority of the laptops, about 2.64 a month, through simple forgetfulness while 1 laptop a month is stolen. or, is the answer that the 2.64 is 'Home' versions, while the 1 is 'x64'?

    - Problem with loading install from XP cd room with XP 64 @ HD. Got one raptordisk ----> XP 64 pro Problem: need a fast reliable way to switch back and forwards XP 64 pro and XP home version ^^eg. Fdisk,format,xp setup boot from cd whatever BUT the xp vanillahome OEM disk keeps booting xp64 without giving me the option of nuking my xp 64 pro INSTALL. ofc I have tried to setup up BOOT cd room from Bios, but to no avail i keeps jumping straight to the logon screen in XP 64 pro instead of giving me the BSOWDYWTD (Blue screen of "what do you want to do") essentially I canÂ´t access Fdisk I realise i could prolly try swapping around HdÂ´s and fiddling around with startup disks. ThereÂ´s alot of advice that starts from Putting in a Win OS in the CD rom drive and then getting *BOOTING of the cd sans LOADING the current WIN OS eg. the options of having your way with WHATEVER is installed on ur HdÂ´s but the part BEFORE that is what IÂ´m asking about But most of all I want to ID the sources of these errors. USB keyboard? BIOS Version? Other hardware? I can not see why hardware should be an issue here since I can boot the OS and have no problem running it. Is there a way FORCE fdisk or DOS prompt on reboot? Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44735

    - framedyn.dll at http://www.jarra.nl/indes.php?p=69. All suggestions found at http://www.jarra.nl/indes.php?p=69 to fix my problem with framedyn.dll have not worked. I do not have Spybot anymore all the others did. Could that be the problem. If it is how do I correct it without downloading spybot again. Would Quicktim Player still be part of the problem too? Would I be able to have Windows XP Professional downloaded from Microsoft If I have proof tha I did buy my first program. How do I go about this? Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44724

    - framedyn.dll & http://www.jarra.nl/index.php?p=69 Everyone that had the same problem was able to find a solution because they all had Spybot on their computer and Quicktime Player was causing the problems. There solution was to remove quicktime player from interfering with Spybot. I have done the oposite, I uninstalled Spybot. I am assuming since I no longer have Spybot that is what is causing the problem. Do I have to have Spybot in order to correct this? I really didn't care for it and didn't need it. Could that be why I cann't locate framedyn.dll anywhere in my computer? Do I still need to try to see if Quicktime Player is interfering some how and where would I look?

    - running the adobe flash player HELP I am running windows xp x64 and cannot run the adobe flash player unless I change the browser settings to 32 (according to their tech page). What are the implications for this to my system? Will it effect other programs? And if it's OK to do, HOW the heck do I do it? Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44719

    - framedyn.dll This message appears everytime I try to open microsoft word 2000 and several other programs including system restore. " framedyn.dll was not found try reinstalling it." I've tried over and over and I cannot fix it. When I try to pull up microsoft word 2000 the initial picture will come up on the screen but then it does nothing but sits there until I finally have to turn off the computer. You can't minimize it, expand it or close it. The message about framedyn.dll comes up on several different programs but I can at least close them out. I have a feeling that what they are supposed to open with has been changed. Some of them for example are trying to open with "500200_inventory" Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44715

    - Product key I have built my self a new system for microsoft Vista 64 .I have put the OEM version onto my system and i am now being told that the product key is already in use .I have had to reinstall the software as some of the drivers were not signed ? Therefore because i had to reinstall the os ,is it saying that the product key is already in use becuase i had to reinstall the os ? or is it becuase i got the OEM version and just put it straight onto the machine without using the OPK kit , that it is not activating ? or lastly but not least , have a got a copy ? in that case i will bring it back to the shop ? any help would be much appreicared Babs Tag: dual os vista and xp home Tag: 44695

I have upgraded to Vista Home Premium x64 only to discover that many of my
applications won't run on a 64 bit system. I want to reinstall XP Home on my
computer on a separate HD and run a dual os pc. How do I do this since I
can't "uninstall" Vista first?

If you used an upgrade version you are not eligible to dual boot.
Otherwise, unplug your Vista drive and install XP. Then, you have a choice.
If your BIOS makes it easy to switch priority easily, you can select OS
during post, otherwise, you can reset the Vista drive as the first drive in
boot priority, download VistaBootPro and install it and use it to add a
legacy OS to the Vista boot and the you will have the Vista boot give you
the option which system to boot to. Do keep in mind that every time you
boot into XP you will be erasing all your restore points on your Vista
system.
