Group Policy Object Editing
I have installed admintools from Server 2003 SP1 (according to)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304718
I installed gpmc as well..
Followed copying directions from
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=895978
I didn't have gpedit.msc in c:\windows\syswow64 so I copied it there..
Now when I go to edit the MSC, I get the prompt of 64 or 32 bit
version. No matter which way I choose (even though I would guess I
need 32 bit) I get error:
Failed to open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate
rights.
I am getting closer and closer to getting this to work on my x64 box..
but still need this part :)
Thanks! Tag: how to know if my cpu..... Tag: 30213
ActiveX component can't create object
Hello,
I have asked that question recently but received no helpful replies, so I
thought I'd try again:
The COM objects my company sells are written in C++/ATL. When installed on
Windows 2003 64-bit and used in the ASP environment, the following error is
generated by a Server.CreateObject statement:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
Now, this error is pretty common in 32-bit Windows, and is easily fixed by
adjusting permissions on the COM object's DLL. But in 64-bit Windows this
trick does not work anymore. Something else obviously needs to be done. But
what???
Any help will be greatly appreciacted.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition and Veritas BackupEXEC
I've recently installed a x64 server for AD/DNS/DHCP/Print/File and
third-party software backupEXEC and database for my customer. When deciding
for the 32-bit or 64-bit server software I did some cheking if any of the 2
third-party software solutions would have any problems with the 64-bit
server OS. The database had been tested on a 64-bit solution in the 32-bit
enviroment so that was OK. For Veritas BackupEXEC my search came up with
that I needed to upgrade to version 10.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/A/A/DAA7245D-E01D-46A4-AB70-3A95ED3F6934/64veritas.doc
http://www.veritas.com/news/press/PressReleaseDetail.jhtml?NewsId=64402
Now, when I'm about to install the backup software, they tell me that there
is only the backupExec agent that will run on the server, not the backupExec
software itself.
What do I do? This is the only server in the network. Do I downgrade from
x64 Edition to 32-bit? I do have Windows Server 2003 Standard installation
media, but will the license key for x64 be OK? Is it possible to re-install
and downgrade keeping the existing setup? Is there other backup software
that support 64-bit?
Only localfiles on the server and stop/start of the database service (done
by running .bat files) will be needed.

No 64-bit Vista?
Found this paragraph in a CNN.com story about the delayed release of Vista
for consumers.
"Three will be aimed at consumers, two at business users, and a
stripped-down version for emerging markets. Unlike the current Windows XP,
there will be no versions designed specifically for advanced 64-bit
computing, multimedia computers or Tablet PCs."
Is CNN simply misinformed? What does it mean to say there will be no version
for 64-bit computing?
Here's the link to the full story (paragraph is 3rd from the bottom):

Vista Consumer release January, 2007
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. said on Tuesday it plans to delay the
consumer launch of its much-anticipated Windows Vista operating system to
January 2007 from its earlier target of the second half of 2006, sending its
shares down nearly 3 percent.
Microsoft plans to launch a product for corporate customers in November and
then roll out Windows Vista for consumers after the holiday shopping season,
Jim Allchin, co-president of the company's Platforms & Services Division,
said on a conference call.
<snip>
Microsoft said Vista is delayed because it wants to improve overall quality,
particularly in security, and that PC makers didn't want the operating
system introduced in the middle of holiday sales, because a new version
would create instability in the market. ...

Latest Konica Minolta printer update???
I wrote Konica Minolta about a 64 bit driver and posted some time back
they had responded, ".. currently scheduled for a 64 bit driver release
in the beginning of March 2006. Please check our web site for
announcements on this matter".... soooooooo....... early March has come
and gone and so has middle March and it's now late March with no
driver.
I wrote 'em again and got:
"The Magicolor 2400W has been added to the 64 bit driver development
list. A release date has not yet been set for the driver. You may
continue to check our website for driver updates."

installing x64 on a gigabyte nforce4 motherboard
Hi all
I've tried to install x64 onto a gigabyte nforce sli motherboard and
and the install works ok once I load the latest sata raid drivers from
a floppy. the issue is that on the next reboot the raid array that I
have set up for the C drive seems to be split in the OS and you can see
a C and D drive both with the windows directory on them. Then after the
install has finished and I've had the opportunity to use the OS for a
while I try to reboot it and I get the error that the NTLDR is missing.
I'm using the latest drivers from the gigabyte and NVidia websites and
have followed their instructions but it seems not matter what I do the
raise set for the c drive always gets split even though at the bios
level it says that there is still a valid raid set there. Anyone seen
this or similar before and managed to get a booting system at the end
of the day? This is the Gigabyte GA k*NProSli board with a AMD 64
processor

Windows 64 bit porting - AMD vs. Intel
Hi,
Following a thread at OSR's newsgroup
(http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=88874), I will be happy to
know your opinions for the following issue:
Given all the above discussion (link above) , it seems I should
focus on considering porting to x64 (AMD64/EM64T). To
get a better understanding of the how/which answers, I
would appreciate it if you guys can share any market
projections/insights you have in regards to the
penetration of these systems in 2006 and 2007.
Furthermore, it would be interesting to understand the
x64 support for Vista. I mean, would all x64 systems
be installed with a 64bit OS, or do you guys think
that, as today, most x64 systems will still be shipped
with 32 bit OS.
Do you have any insights in regards to the
configuration of x64 systems by major OEMs (HP, Dell,
etc.) and which OS are they going to put on the
system?
Thanks! Tag: how to know if my cpu..... Tag: 30053

License Conflict Between x64 And Windows XP Pro English(32-Bit)!
Hello,
I would like to ask about a problem i am having and i have searched
anywhere i could possibly imagine.Unfortunately,i came out empty.
I own a couple of operating systems which are genuine.An XP Pro
(32-Bit) and
an x64.Both are english.I Haven't installed them yet to my computers.My
Question is this:
Can I register them both in my name,through microsoft activation?
I'm asking because i've heard that if you register an XP(32-Bit) and
after
that an x64 to the same name, the registration of the XP 32-Bit
operating
system is automatically cancelled!!!!!!!
Is this true?????

Lexmark Printer (All-In-One) - Driver?
I have a Lexmark X6170 All-In-One printer (new). Works fine but Windows XP64

Lexmark has no drivers to suggest. (On their website or email tech-support)
It seems to be a relatively straightforward printer.
Any suggestion for another driver I might be able to use with it to print?

Virus? Firewall?
Hi
I was browsing through three or four pages. My system suddenly hang and I
had to restart. On restart 'Adware' had an alarm that certain registry keys
are being modified. I tried blocking the changes but don't know what happened
a total of 28 registry keys were changed and all of the executable files were
changed to the extension '.lnk' and I could not run anything not even
Internet Explorer. But I wonder, all the drivers were working fine. I have
Mcafee Enterprise 8.0i; but still it could not work. Could it have been
because of a firewall problem as I use the built in firewall of Windows?
I formatted and reinstalled everything on the root partition. Luckily the
virus did not infect the other partitions.
What could have caused this problem and how can I stop it from happening

Looking for samples, links, etc. for Activex 64
I googled for hours searching for whether is it even possible to create
64-bit activex (.ocx) for IE64. Many articles I found on the net
(including postings on this board) say that "...most folks have yet to
re-write their 32-bit activex for IE64" which led me to believe that
it's possible to do so and there is an activex control out there
written for IE64. Can anyone point me to some sort of tutorial or demo
of such control ?
I found this tutorial
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/March/ActiveXInNet.asp . I
haven't tried to recompile this one for IE64 which seems it is
possible. However, when I ran this on IE32, no control got downloaded
to Downloaded Program Files folder or displayed on "manage add-on"
window. This is not what I'm looking for.

Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 localised into spanish
As far as I know, x64 versions of Windows Server are not localised into any
language but english. We need to install the english version and then install
the right Multilingual User Interface Pack on top of the english
installation. Is this also correct for R2?
I saw some days ago (in http://licensing.microsoft.com , products download
area, selecting the product Windows Server Standard) that the Spanish
localised version of R2 was already available, but only 32bits version!
However, in our case (we have just bought a dual Xeon server) we would like
to install R2 x64 but localised into spanish.
What would be the downloads that we need to do and the steps to follow in
order to achieve this?
Note: We have VLKs (among others) for:
Win Server 2003 R2 x32 Ed.
Win Server 2003 R2 x64 Ed. <-- We'd like to use this one
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003, x64 Ed.
To start with, I supposed that we would need the following download:
* Windows Svr Std 2003 R2 32-bit/x64 English Disk Kit MVL MVLS Only ISO CD
and then install this one:
* Windows Svr Std 2003 w/SP1 32-bit/x64 English/MultiLang Disk Kit MVL CD
However, since the latter download is not explicitly for R2, all the new
management functions, programs, help files, etc, included in R2 were not
translated into spanish, and remained in the original english.
Is there any (or there will be any) MUI for R2 x64? By now, a have a server
with a mixture of english/spanish. The basic behaviour of Win2003 Std w/SP1
is localised, but the new things included with R2 are in inglish.
Might I need to install the MUI ##before## the second CD of R2? Honestly, I
don't think that would make any difference.

Admittedly an off-the-wall question:
When Vista comes out, what do you think the chances are that people with
retail versions of XP x64 will get a price break?
1) We are, in a sense, beta testers of the 64-bit world.
2) I assume it would be an easier transition from x64 to Vista than from any
32-bit version of windows. Seems like it would be an easier upgrade. Tag: how to know if my cpu..... Tag: 29885
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version Confusion
Hey there,
I'm investigating Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and having recently
purchased an AMD Athlon 64 system, am considering giving it a test-drive.
However, while researching it I have run into some confusing points. So, at
the risk of looking like a complete idiot, I wonder if someone could please
clarify these points:
* While perusing through the security updates available for x64 on Technet
Download Center, I noticed that in the Product Selection menu, you could
select between two versions of x64, "Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition"
and "Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition Version 2003". I wasn't aware
there were two separate distinct versions of Windows XP x64?
*Further, if I selected "Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition", I can
choose between the gold or SP1 version. I wasn't aware there was a Service
Pack available for Windows x64, and searching for additional information
turned up nothing?
*Finally, when comparing the three different versions of 64-Bit (Windows XP
Professional 64-Bit Edition Gold + Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition
SP1 + Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 Gold (There is no
SP1 for the Version 2003 Edition), I noticed the security updates seemed to
be the opposite of what one would expect (This is when "redundant" updates
are selected not to be shown, but updates of every severity are shown):
Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition Gold: 40 Updates
Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition SP1: 41 Updates
Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition Version 2003: 62 Updates
Last, there appears to be a mistake in the download center, in that versions
of Windows Server 2003 are listed in the Service Pack selection dialog when
versions of XP x64 are selected, despite being two separate OS's.
Apologies if I am being dense, but I find this somewhat ambiguous and
confusing.
Yours sincerely,

Change SID on cloned machines
I've been using "newsid" to change the SID on cloned 32bit Terminal servers
for a number of years very sucessfully, I'm about to start doing a new x64
build.
Does anyone know if "newsid" works on x64, or if not an alternative that
does?
Thanks

drivers
I recently tried out windows 64bit edition, as i had upgraded my mobo and cpu
(amd 64bit) but have had to go back to my 32bit edition because one i could
not find any drivers to support my wireless network card which is a sitecom
WL-121 wireless pci card so i could not connect to the internet also after
reinstalling my 32 bit edtion i found that there was no drivers for my webcam
either so it was apointless task.
Has anyone got or know where i can get drivers for
a) Sitecom WL-121 wireless pci card
b) Logitech 4000 pro webcam
I'd be most grateful thanks in advance. Tag: how to know if my cpu..... Tag: 29833
