    - Shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu are missing, Hey Everytime i install a program, game or just someting, it doesn't put a shortvut on the desktop or in the start menu, even if it normally does. The software can still be found in "Program Files", and in the controlpanel (hope that's what's called in english) I'm using Vista 64-bit, which i just installed yesterday. In the first few hours, software got installed and placed their shortcuts as thye should, but then the problem came. If i remember right the problem came after i've solved the problem with "BOOTMGR" because i have SATA2 and an IDE harddisk. /Denno Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54330

    - BSOD, mismanaging system PTEs, x64/WinServer2003? My power unit & graphics card went down. PCWorld(UK) fitted new graphics [GeForce 8400GS] and power unit. WEB access runs for ~5minutes & then BSOD, saying : "The driver is mismanaging system PTEs. disable BIOS memory options eg caching, shadowing STOP: 0x000000DA, etc" Google search yielded a MS Hotfix KB831899 but this failed : "different hardware platform" Other Googles suggest the NVIDIA driver is incorrect, hence the Hotfix. Yet another implies WindowsServer2003 is problem (this came with the ASUS board but is not used(?) since I use Win XP x64 SP2.

    - Why does my computer not close down completely? I bought a new computer with Vista home premium installed. I have not installed much yet because I have been having problems 'restarting' and'shutting down'. In essence when i shut down or restart the computer it closes down to a certain point where the computer is still on but with no functionality i.e. no image being sent and no computer noise from the hardware working. At this point I have left it for over 30 minutes and in the end had to shut it down by pressing and holding the power button on the fron tof the computer. To restart I have to turn the power off at the back of the computer as if i don't all I get is the whirling sound of the fan at initial start-up continuously. Any idea??? -- msw Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54313

    - Windows Media Player 10 Hi, I have Windows X64 Pro. I recently installed Windows Media Player 10 and it's not working right. It stops playing at any random time. I want to uninstall it and reinstall it but it's not in Add/Remove Programs and the folder doesn't have an Uninstaller. How can I uninstall Media Player 10 so that I can reinstall it? -- Denise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going.

    - Dual Boot Vista & Server ?? Can anyone tell me if its possible to install Vista 64 and then install Server 2008 and switch between them using Vista boot manager or something like it ? I'd like to try out the test version of server but also use the PC for normal usage in Vista. The PC is not a business PC, just for home use and trying out different OS's. I realise I could do it with VMWare or maybe Virtual PC but thats another learning curve I;d rather not go to. Thanks for any constructive comments Mike Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54301

    - New install XP Pro 64: video glitch on first boot Hello! I decided to create a dual boot 32/64 installation on a secondary computer in my home. Everything for the installation went as intended. However, upon initial boot from the hard drive into Windows, the welcome screen is chopped and distorted in horizontal segments of about half an inch apart. I can see the mouse pointer move around, but the pointer is split into about 15 pieces scattered across the screen. My hardware is an Athlon 64 4000+, 7800GTX and a Dell 2405 FPW LCD monitor. This hardware functions (and has been for over a year) flawlessly, so it is not a faulty hardware issue. I have trie plugging the DVI cable for the monitor into both DVI ports on the back of the 7800GTX but the result is identical. If this is a driver issue, how do I get the appropriate driver installed on the computer if I cannot see what is going on on the screen? Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can give. Happy Holidays! Ryan Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54289

    - Telephony Will Not Start I am unable to Dial-up the Interent because the Telephony Service will not start. I have: Entered Run services.msc, right-clicked on Telephony, and left-clicked Properties; with Start-up type set to Manual I clicked the Start button. Instead of starting error message 1053 appeared. The message said, the service did not respond to the service request in timely fashion. I checked to see if the services Telephony depends were running and both Plug-N-Play and RPC had started. I entered the path to the executable program and found svchost.exe in C:\WINDOWS\System32, but the path also had a suffix -k tapisrv, so I performed a search for tapisrv and found tapisrv.dll in C:WINDOWS/System32. I searched the Registry for svchost, tapisrv and found it in HKEY_USERS, under AppEvents, Software, Microsoft, Search Assistant, ACMru, 5603, 002. I ran net stop tas, rebooted and performed the net start tas command. Telephony did not start; local was checked and PnP and RPC both started. I ran sfc/scannow, put my system disk in the CD drive and watched it verified the hidden files. Then I rebooted. Telephony still did not start. When I clicked on the Telephony Start button, I got error message 1053. Event Viewer â?? System displays the following error messages: 7000 Telephony service failed to respond to start request 7001 Remote Access Control Mgr failed to start because t depends on Telephony 7009 Timeout waiting for Telephony 7024 Routing and Remote Access terminated 1060 Application Popup The description for 1060: \SystemRoot\Sys\Wow64\Drivers\mdc8021x.sys has been blocked from loading due to icompatability with nthis system; and in the detail it said file name ws03res.dll Event Viewer - Applications has a Warning Category Ci Service.

    - No 1152 x 864 resolution option I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 with an eVGA nVidia 8800 GT 512 MB (superclocked). My graphics driver is forceware 169.02. I have a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 997df CRT that I'm currently using. However, I am not given the option to change my resolution to 1152 x 864. It goes from 1024 x 768 to 1280 x 720 onwards and completely skips the resolution I want. I prefer the 1152 x 864 as it's sharper than the 1024 x 768 but yet the text isn't so small I have to strain my eyes to read it (as with 1280 x 1024). Does anyone know if this is a Vista x64 problem or a problem with the nVidia drivers? I've checked eVGA's and nVidia's websites and they both claim that my 8800 GT and 169.02 driver can display many more resolutions than are available to me.

Two questions: First: if I use the my key, not the trial one, will it work as a fullversion,not as a trial one? Second: I want to repair my windows installation, but it does not offer me such an option. I want to keep my programs and not have to reinstall them all.

    - puzzled in Application manifest Got from MSDN that there's an element - assemblyIdentity in the application manifest which describes and uniquely identifies the application owning this application manifest. What I'm puzzled is following attributes with this element: 1- processorArchitecture (optional), which specifies the processor, x86 for 32-bit Windows; ia64 for 64-bit Windows. If my application needs to support both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows how should I specify it? 2- type (required), which specifies the application type and must be Win32 (not sure if it works on 64-bit Windows) I generated an application using Visual Studio 2005 and extract its manifest using mt.exe but cannot find this required attribute and the processorArchitecture is specified as msil Any advice would be appreciate!

I chose it because the reviews say that it does work with 64 bit Vista ultimate, so 64 bit drivers must exist. Unfortunately it is not being recognised by 64 bit XP Pro. Does anyone know of anywhere that I can download the 64 bit drivers that were written for Vista? Or which files I need to extract from a Vista 64 source CD to install on XP Pro 64? Thanks for any assistance Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54105

    - Running Vista 64. FAQ? I've been running Vista Business 64 without many problems for a few days now. One thing is that I'm no longer able to see previews of Adobe documents in Windows Explorer. 1) Does anyone have a fix for this? I use Vista 64 because in addition to using MS Office, I do development. I'm running SQL Server 2005 64 bit and also Visual Studio 2008. The system is very fast and very stable with 4 GB RAM, 200 GB 7200 HD on an Thinkpad X61s laptop. Here are two things to look out for: This should help you with ITunes burning DVDs under Vista 64: http://www.agileprogrammer.com/dotnetguy/archive/2007/11/22/23851.aspx Workaround for Windows Search and Office 2007 documents on Windows Vista 64-bit. http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/kmkenney/archive/2007/11/29/workaround-for-windows-search-and-office-2007-documents-on-windows-vista-64-bit.aspx Nero OEM Essentials 7 with latest update works for me. So does ImgBurn. Motorola Phone Tools through bluetooth to my Moto Razr to update contacts from Outlook works as well. I know that Cisco VPN client does not work, but the newer version called AnyConnect does work. 2) Could we please put together a FAQ that helps people with various problems such as those above?

    - 64-bit OS not recognized I can't download music from Walmart.com because they say my OS is "not compatible". I think it thinks I'm running NT. Even on the Microsoft web site, I occasionally see a message saying "you aren't running Windows XP and cannot upgrade to SP2". I guess there's something in the OS that says it's Wndows 2003, or Windows NT or something that's non-XP. Any way around this? These little surprises are fouling me on 64-bit.

    - Hardware re-detection Here's my first suggestion for Santa Gates. Many of us here like to do hardware changes from time to time which require a re-installation of the whole OS (Vista) or a repair (XP). Wouldn't it be nice if, after changing the mobo (or even a HD), you would only have to put the Vista DVD on its drive and choose "Hardware re-detect" from the boot options? That would make Vista re-detect all the hardware and boot without the need of a fresh install. Same would apply to XP.

    - Upgrading from x32 Ok, I have been given the red flag by many sales people and technical support reps(of which I am surprised and thankful for). I also see there are many discussions going on in regards to different issues out there. I think I have a pretty good understanding of what I am getting into if I decide to try and move the direction of going from x32 to x64. Honestly, some of it doesn't sound any different from going to a new OS. Drivers, Drivers, Drivers!!!! That being said, I have a Dell Precision 690 with XP pro on it and 4GB RAM. My software packages are SQL Server, Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Pro. I am already planning on upgrading SQL and XP to x64 while the others claim they are supported with x64. It "appears" I would be ok. Anyone see anything I'm missing? I know there are no guarantees with IT, etc...just looking for insight. Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 54036

    - What is the purpose for 64bit Windows? I purchased the 64 bit version of Windows XP and found out that many hardware and software products are not supported hence, I had to revert back to 32bit Windows XP. Now I see the exact same problems with Vista 64 bit. My question is: What is the purpose of 64 bit Windows if support is lacking? Just like Linux which I consider to be crap, I consider the same for the 64 bit Windows. You lackeys don't need to reply unless your name is Bill Gates.

    - Phenom quad core, task manager only shows one processor I've been running for about a week with XP64 on a phenom quad core cpu. When I first installed everything, task manager showed 4 processors on the performance tab. Today I noticed that it only shows one. Any idea why, and what happened to my other three cores? How can I verify that Windows is seeing, and using, all 4 cores? At first it showed 4 processors, with different cpu utilisation for each one. Now there is just one.

    - Windows XP x64 install on ASUS K8V Motherboard - Dual Boot I'm having a heck of a time trying to install XP x64 as a dual boot. I currently have Windows 2000 on my c drive. I would like to install XP x64 on my D: drive. I have never used RAID and will continue not to at this point. I have tried the following drivers without success: Promise FastTrak 378/tx4000, VIA HyperionPro. Here is how far I get using the drivers. Boot from the Windows XP CD. Press F6/S to load the drivers. The driver is accepted, and Windows loads. I get past the last prompt before installation, and I get "Setup did not find any hard disk drivers installed on your computer?" Hit F3 to exit. Huh, it just accepted the driver? Anyway, something else must not be set up correctly. Old BIOS? BIOS setting wrong? HDs are not connected properly? When booting to Windows 2000, everything is great, I see the D: drive just fine. Can anyone help? Thanks! Tag: iv upgraded from xp home tp xp pro Tag: 53959
