    - 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? I've dual booted linux and win before, but I've never done it with solaris, and this will be the first go with solaris for me. I hate messing up my MBR, which I've done before with LILO (I'm not sure exactly what I did to achieve this). So, any help is welcome. woland Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29611

    - 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. Combine that with no good DVD burning s/w for backups being available and you have a really "red-headed stepchild" of a product. What is the big push to 64bit computing being driven by...besides MS desire to sell another product? -- Matt Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29597

    - 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: How do I enter my new Product Key? 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: How do I enter my new Product Key?

    - Printer drivers I'm looking to replace a Canon printer/scanner I lost in the hurricane last year. I went to the Canon website and was quite pleased to find several printers with x64 drivers. I counted about five, and that was without looking too hard. Five ain't a lot, but it's better than zero. I'm not here to shill for Canon, so let me ask: Does anyone know other printer-mfgrs who are x64-friendly? Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29524

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.

    - 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: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29456

Sigh, I finally have to retire my favourite graphcs program. - Micrografx Picture Publisher 10 DCE - loaded and ran fine BUT suddenly everything else started crashing. Removed it and after 2 reboots everything was OK. - PC Tools Spyware Doctor - PC Tools Registry Mechanic - PC Tools Anti Virus - I received the following response from PC Tools "Although we do not support any 64 bit versions, some customers have no problem installing in Windows XP 64." - Tiny Firewall - Installed fine, but would not let IE32 bit run, kept saying that it was trying to interact with Google Desktop, and this wasn't allowed. Hmmm.. Not very useful. IE64 Bit was fine. - Freecom DVB-T Decoder - no compatible drivers. - Motorola Mobile Phone software doesn't work - although without the software I can see the phone as anothe drive. For the past 10 years I've been using Norton products through to Internet Security 2006, and because they have not seen fit to develop a retail x64 product (or maybe they have just disabled the latest products as the older Ghost & Password Manager work just fine - apart from NOT installing into (x86) folders - I have then in an x86 - no brackets folder) I have purchased Avast and am very happy with it, no shutdown problems that others have experienced. I've also saved a lot of money for he future and Symantec have lost a customer for the next 3 years. Any recommendations for an alternative would be welcome. The same goes with Adobe. I haven't decided which creator I'll buy, but it will NOT be an Abobe product again for the forseeable future. Once again thanks for the assistance that has been provided which has allowed me a smooth and easy path into 64 bit computing. I will continue to read this ng with interest and will try to contributr where I feel that I can. Apologies for the long post! Chris Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29400

    - Windows Vista x64 Hello all, I have been running XP x64 for a while now on one of my computers and finally have everything working except my Brother label printer.

    - x64 vs Win 2003 Enteprrise, <= 32GB RAM What are the advantages of an x64 OS vs. a Windows 2003 Enterprise server if one has 32GB or less RAM? (The Enterprise can address 32GB of RAM) I think the biggie is not just the amount of RAM but the x64 box can address the memory as a single 64-bit offset (from a base register) and doesn't need 32-bit workarounds like AWE. I also read that x64 CPU hardware stops certain types of "buffer overrun" attacks that are possible with 32-bit CPU? Can you add any other items to this list.(or maybe correct my above statements if they are wrong.) TIA, Bill Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29376

    - What with x64 and I-net Bandwidth? I just ran the Sandra Internet Connection tests on my machine, the results was extremely peculiar. According to my ISP I am on a 10Mb feed ( 100Mb optic fiber to Switch/Router in the cellar, and 10Mb to each appartment by CAT 5 ) Sandra lists references as ADSL 512 | 1Mb | 2Mb, and 56Kb Modem. 1. The Connection Benchmark: Bandwidth - 46Kb Latency - 172ms References: ADSL 512Kb Bandwidth - 35Kb; Latency - 20ms. ADSL 1Mb Bandwidth - 57Kb; Latency - 18ms. ADSL 2Mb Bandwidth - 103Kb; Latency - 17ms. 2. The ISP Peerege Benchmark: Bandwidth - 47Kb Latency - 76ms References: ADSL 512Kb Bandwidth - 35Kb; Latency - 105ms. ADSL 1Mb Bandwidth - 56Kb; Latency - 94ms. ADSL 2Mb Bandwidth - 77Kb; Latency - 89ms. ( The results of this test improved vastly by having internet radio turned on, while the connection test showed no change at all. ) I am aware, of course, that live tests does not compare directly with either typical or best case figures, but surely there is something wrong with either me, my setup or the ISP. I mean to contact the ISP about the issue but running this OS I can imagine how they might start 'ealing' away from any responsibilities. And I don't even know if it is up to them anyway. And I am not even sure if I understand the test suit. Any comment will be much appraised. Tony. . . Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29374

    - FYI winXP x64 glitches Hi, I've got the interesting issue with XP x64 connected to 2 ethernet but having one default route. At some point it starting the answering from "alternative" interface to the default route ANYWAY. The probable cause are temporary disconnections (interface down) in a "primary" network or just temporary "channel down". As a result even if you ping your XPx64 primary IP (from outside) you'll get the answer from secondary IP !!! That's funny ! How long it will take MS to grow out from the pants ? No offence there :-))) Regards, Sergey Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29319

    - Help! 64-bit programming question for an MVP I distribute a 32 bit in-proc COM server to my clients. Will a client developing 64 bit applications using my 32 bit COM server have problems? Ideally - the COM server "just works" and the host application still runs as a native 64 bit app.... Any ideas? TIA. Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 29317

    - x64 and SATA ATAPI devices Hi - I built my first custom system a few months back with the idea of installing x64 trial. I choose each component, and was happy with the setup. However, once I started trying to upgrade to x64 I've had nothing but trouble. I have 2 Plextor SATA DVD drives. The ASUS mb I have does not support ATAPI with the built-in SATA connections. So I got an Adaptec card. Adaptec then told me they don't plan on releasing drivers for the card, it is a low end model. Updgrade to model x. I am looking for a SATA card with ATAPI support. Does anyone know of any good ones? Also, an Port Multiplication cards that support eSATA and x64? THANKS! Tag: How do I enter my new Product Key? Tag: 28298

I got my new version of x64. It's seems to be an academic version, which
Royaldiscount.com didn't disclose. But that's ok at this point. Tomorrow I
expire.

But how do I enter the Product Key to unlock my current x64? Or do I
actually have to do an upgrade with this disk?

you actually have to install it from your new CD.

I don't think thats possible, what could do is use that new copy of XP Pro
x64 and do a repair upgrade by booting off the CD and accept the F8 license
agreement and do a repair upgrade.

Don't forget, backup your data before attempting any kind of installation or
upgrade.
