He just read off of a script and told me to basically do what I had already tried uninstall and re-install the program. I have been researching the internet, but I haven't been able to find a solution. There are a lot of posts for similar errors, but with different programs, and no real solutions. If anyone else has had this problem and solved it, please let me know. I am running Windows 7 the 64 bit version.
Thanks, BobV. Bob Valentine. Reply to author. Report message as abuse. Show original message. I run Vista 64 on my laptop and it runs perfectly too. For my little GB laptop drive this is quite a bit.
I have been debating re-doing my laptop with XP64 also, but I want to get very used to using Vista and learn some of it's inner workings. I'm using it mainly for resume fodder. I have more or less decided to revert to 32 bit XP, wait till Vista has at least SP1, see how that's received by the market, then revisit 64 bit computing. I am using XP x64 on my home built system and it is rock steady. I cannot comment on the other programs which she mentioned. Regarding the need to treat people offensively in order to get what you want in life tells me that you have a problem.
You should speak with someone about it. The only insult conveyed through this remark is that you didn't come to this conclusion much. It makes no sense.
I didn't say that Winword doesn't work. I said that it is a bit system version because Microsoft hasn't made it compatible with its own software, nor has it made it compatible with other Microsoft software, such as iexplore. You need to read an entire post and understand what was written before you try to trash what was said. Avast is a better anti-virus program for X64 than AVG.
I have 15 ext hdds, so 5 ext hdds means nothing to me. Before anyone says that the problem lies with the fact that I have 15 hard drives, I've had no problem with Disk Management. I don't have more than 3 or 4 turned on at a time and, when they are on, they work well.
My old 5-year old computer handled up to 10 turned on at the same time. It might have handled more but I only had 10 at the time. My motherboard may be 2 years old but it's BIOS has been updated, so your point is mute. No one but people with money can afford to replace their mobos every couple of years so your point is ridiculous. I have responded to many posts here and I think I made my stand very clear. I have not checked the box for the forum to notify me of replies so that I will not be posting here any longer.
To do so would be to perpetuate this disagreement and I have no desire to do so. Good luck to everyone. I wish you happiness with your computers, bit or bit. PCI Express features point-to-point serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high-speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI specifications. My motherboard has a BIOS flashing utility built in, so there's no problem with that.
Maybe you didn't read that when you were at the Biostar website. I have moved my RAM around to see if there was a better configuration for it, but you must have missed the post where I mentioned that. I moved the jumper on the pins and then put it back to its original position to clear CMOS. I've updated the driver for Nvidia and chipset, the only updated drivers available. I don't know much about computers but I know a bit. If you people would stop looking down your noses, this forum would work.
I have an update for my CPU but in order to install it, I have to uninstall the present one. When I attempt to do so, I receive a message from Microsoft which states, "Setup. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Nothing goes smoothly or as it should. Microsoft may not have the responsibility to supply drivers for the X64 os, but it did have the responsibility to inform potential buyers that it lacks necessary drivers. Right there is one important instance where Microsoft went wrong.
I never would have bought it if the outside package contained a warning to that affect. Even updated drivers that are available don't work. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to ensure any new hardware or software is properly nstalled.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Setup options, and then select Safe Mode. You certainly sound confused and lost to me. If you think Microsoft is withholding critical information, then take the initiative to do some research. There are numerous references about bit Windows on the internet that point out the good, the bad, and how to determine if bit is appropriate for you.
If you want to come to this forum to honestly seek help with bit Windows operating systems, then you're welcome. However, most of your posts have been to complain about and deride bit Windows and Microsoft.
That is not constructive! You really sound like a neophyte trying to blame others for your inexperience and ignorance. Given the request of the author of this thread, it's you who shouldn't post in this thread because you don't know what it's about. It appears that it is you who is confused and lost here, not I. I very much think that voicing my opinion regarding X64 is constructive, even if it wasn't the topic of conversation, but it is. People like you will defend X64 to your deaths and you give the illusion, as you've done here, that it's the user who is the cause of the problem when it's really X You said:.
The information should have been on the package. I bought X64 more than a year ago when there was little to no critiques about it. I don't watch television so my choice to use X64 was based on the general consensus of opinion at the that it was the next generation of Windows.
It very well is but it turned out to be a terrible one. In addition, you have no right to tell me or anyone else not to post in these forums. By doing so, it sounds like you also want to cover up something about X64 and it angers you to the point when you can't discuss this topic rationally, in a mature manner, without name-calling and insults.
Those are the types of comments that are inappropriate in all threads, not opinions about Microsoft products. It seems that you and Adobe Acrobat disagree about it's ability to run in an X64 os. My old computer, which was 5 years old, ran up to 13 ext hdds at a time. I installed Windows XP Pro and it never blinked an eye. With X64, I have to limit the number of running ext hdds to 4 because X64 will crash if I turn on more.
I don't do gaming nor have I overclocked the BIOS so that it's in its original state, except for updated drivers. You should investigate pc components more thoroughly before making an overall assumption that it's no good because of it's age. Arguments are totally unnecessary. All anyone has to do is do research and evaluate whether Win x64 is appropriate for their situation.
One of the best resources is Charlie Russel's paper on Win x It's like buying a vehicle. One doesn't buy a Ford and then complain because it isn't a Chevy. I definitely am not lost. I know exactly where I have been and I periodically evaluate my objects to determine if I am proceeding in a reasonable and logical manner to where I know I want to go.
I have been using, repairing, building, setting up networks, and programming computers for long time. And, I guess you're right. If you want to throw a temper tantrum, scream and kick your feet, then you have every right to do so. Hope you feel better when you stop! The information. Your last post did nothing to help anyone, teach anyone or provide assistance in any manner.
Your entire post contains insults aimed at me. You're contradicting yourself there, John. Is that the only manner in which you and other defenders of X64 can use for the os that Microsoft dumped onto the market in order to recoup its expenses when there are so many problems with it?
Incidentally, it is easy to know where you are going without knowing where you came from, what you need to know is where you are now. This was never mentioned at the website where I purchased X64 or on the package. This fact is major and it should have been stated up-front, the fact that it's the beta version for Vista X I didn't purchase X64 to make "an investment in the future of computing," but for my os.
Microsoft didn't mention this fact either. I won't respond to your insults in your post. It seems that you and others just can't help being rude, immature and blind. I wish everyone good luck with X64 and I hope it doesn't sap your pockets dry in order to convert your hardware and software to be compatible with X Until there was a Windows x64 Edition, there was no way driver writers or software developers could actually support x We had a very extended Beta for Windows XP Pro x64 Edition trying to give third parties as much time as possible to get their support in place, but by in large most of them ignored it.
That's their decision and choice, not Microsoft. Windows XP Pro x64 Edition was never released as a retail product and was only available through the OEM channel to help minimize the potential end-user problems from having limited driver support from third parties. Again, there's not much Microsoft can do about people choosing to buy it and install it without having done the necessary research. I've been running Windows XP Pro x64 Edition at work for nearly three years and it works perfectly fine as long as I recognize that most third parties are completely ignoring it.
Microsoft has done their part releasing an OS that supports x64 in early , putting out software development tools for bit native development, and pushing x64 compataiblity through logo programs and its own software development efforts.
After that, it's up to customer demand and third parties to make x64 a success. Without a version of Windows bit and customers using it, no third party was going to do anything to support it. It's a classic technology problem, and the transition will be with us for many years to come. Basically Adobe is saying "we didn't bother to write bit native printer drivers or a bit ActiveX control for Acrobat 7. They were prefectly capable of doing so, they just chose not to as they probably felt there wasn't enough customer demand.
This is not a problem with Microsoft or Windows bit, but a general approach businesses take towards new technology: We'll do the minimum until we have to do something else. Until they have enough customers telling them to do it, they won't bother to put in the extra effort. Venting here or at Microsoft is blaming the wrong party for the lack of support.
Your post afforded the opportunity for exchanging thoughts and facts, and I appreciate that. Whether or not Adobe writes bit native printer drivers or a bit ActiveX control for Acrobat 7.
I use FoxIt and it works well with a X64 os. When I attempted to install it several times, I always received messages that "Setup.
These types of problems never occurred with the other versions of Windows, or at least I never had such problems. Since it was a Microsoft error message, the reason the CPU firmware update couldn't be installed was the fault of Microsoft's X64 os. Since I was able to install the updated bit CPU firmware after I reformatted the second time tells me that X64 isn't working properly. Something is missing in X So for all those who don't have a lot of money to continuously purchase new hardware and software that is needed for a bit system, stick with your bit system until you can afford it because it can get expensive.
Updated drivers sometimes aren't sufficient for bit hardware and software, such as my new all-in-one printer that no longer has the scanning and faxing capabilities that it had with my bit system.
The updated bit driver "fixes" the scanning function but, ironically, it won't scan to a Microsoft Word document. I wonder how many people, other than MVP's and "computer gurus", understand most of Charlie's statement:. It's your responsibility to do so. No, I don't have cash flow to buy new hardware. I buy printers, for example, that don't require special drivers - they're standard, network connected, PCL5 and PS enabled, printers.
They work with everything. And I keep them for years. Without loading any special drivers. That's simply a matter of spending money wisely. But it's still going strong. As for third parties? I have a long history of spending my money only with companies who do the right thing. And I write about it and make recommendations based on that. I'd suggest that you should stop blaming everyone else and get on with it.
This forum is for helping users. That's why I come here, on my own time, and my own dime - to help build this community and provide support for people who want and need it. I've been doing that every day for over two years. While running x64 XP and Vista on my main machines. And yes, I've certainly had more than one strong discussion with a vendor who didn't provide the support I thought they should.
Including MS. But ultimately, I make my point, make my decision, and move on. I sympathize with you, I've been on that exact same road when I tried to upgrade from Windows 98se to Windows I had to bite byte?
I'm not angry with Microsoft, it's not their fault that Epson decided I had to buy a new scanner and guess what brand I didn't consider when choosing my new scanner? Only then can you have enough information to make an informed decision and, in my case, the decision to install Vista 64 was to dual boot until I could be sure that everything would work in the new OS.
Again, I'm very sorry you had to learn the hard way but you really can't blame anyone but yourself and please take this from one who did exactly the same thing you have done and also had to learn the hard way I just formatted my computer two times two days ago.
If I have a file that I want to copy to another drive, when I attempt to change the name of it, I receive a message that the file is in use, even though it's not in use.
It finished copying and it's not open. When I reboot, I still can't change the name because I receive the message that the file is in use. X64 is bad news. I wanted to give X64 another chance by formatting my pc with X I had to do it two times in order to update the CPU driver. I also downloaded and installed new drivers for the chipset, audio and video.
The audio is fine but the video has problems. I have automatic updates turned on and all of them have been installed, including SP2. I don't have Excel or Access installed in my pc but Microsoft uploads updates for them I'll be formatting it to bit Windows XP Pro in a few weeks when I have a couple of days to format it and install my programs.
I'll try X64 next year and see how things go. I don't know why you accused me of blaming anyone for the problems that I have with X I have never done that. This forum may be for helping others but this thread requested opinions of the two X64 operating system, not for help with it.
Everyone seems to miss that point or they choose to ignore it. You've made your point, so move on, as you claim you do.
Denise, that's really hogwash and you know it. Can you remember Windows 3. It came on 13 Floppies - 5 of which were printer drivers, if I'm not mistaken. That is why MS came up with the notion of 'Device Independency'. This concept means that Microsoft takes care of maintaining a 'Subsystem' for which everybody who wants to have their hardware to function with the particular OS has to supply their own driver that is now an integral part of the hardware.
And MS wasn't even doing this based on it's power to dictate. At that time Word Perfect was released on 9 Floppies 3 of which were pretty much the same printer drivers, but they were not compatible because one worked from the OS's side, and the other worked from the user's side. This was an unmentionable nuicance to everybody and the whole industry drew a sigh of relief in view of the new order. Unfortunately this also meant that the hardware manufacturers could now decide how fast their products was aging, so if you have been hanging on to some valuable hardware for some time you may unknowingly have sheilded yourself from this impact.
But it's not new. We are all frustrated about it when it hits us, but it is far better than what it used to be like. It's nice to have someone around that you can allways blame whenever something goes wrong, but Microsoft cannot tell the hardware manufacturers when one of their products are old enough to be scrapped. If you feel left behind, learn to blame the guilty party, the one that sucks up your cash by not supporting the OS that you invested in.
There is nothing wrong with the OS, you made a reasonable investment - the lacking support only starts after the OS is released and MS cannot be blamed for that, even if the rest of us - sitting around in the glow of our monitors, may sometimes think to ourselves that they are in cahoots which they are but your trouble doesn't start there.
