My laptop came with a 32 bit version of Vista Home Premium. It has 4 GB of RAM, and the 32 bit cannot handle all that. I called microsoft, but they say I cannot have the 64 bit copy because my software is OEM. The vendor said that if my laptop came with a 32 bit version, is because this version is the best for the device. But I think it shouldn't have sold this laptop with a 32 bit version. Now, what should I do? Buy a real 64 bit copy?
View 9 RepliesI am presently using 96SE. my ISP no longer supports this version as do some programs....my unit is not powerful enough for either xp or vista I am in my eighties and some of my colleagues tell me that vista has a pretty high learning curve, have found both windows 95 and 95se very user friendly. I can get a new unit from Dell loaded with either XP or Vista, i would like to keep current but do not want to become overwhelmed by new technology. I am not a power user but did not find the older window operating system too challenging, the tasks i presently perform are pretty basic my question is given my age and experience level could i handle Vista or should i opt for the XP version.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to find a player that can handle .mkv files with PGS subtitles. I've tried the VLC nightly builds. As soon as it smells a PGS subtitle in an .mkv file, it disappears with no error message. Tried Splash Lite. Plays .mkv fine but only supports .srt subs(I know how to extract the PGS subs and process them, but I still want a software player for Windows that can handle PGS subs.)
I tried some other players based on MPlayer but I couldn't really figure out how I was supposed to use them. The roomer is new players based on ffmpeg are supposed to support PGS subs, but I haven't found one for Windows yet that I can use in real life. Is anyone using something free that works?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter installing SP1 on Vista, the system properties report that I have 4Gb RAM installed, which is true. However it seems that from the Task Manager, it only can handle up to 3 Gb RAM. So is the other 1Gb wasted? Or is it actually in use for other invisible purposes?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOur software modifies HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflib09Counter and help to add performance monitor counters. It has been working for years on XP. It does not work on Vista. To test, I tried to add a key to Perflib09 but I got "Cannot to registry" dialog box. I tried to modify the permission and got "Invalid handle". I can add key to Perflib but not Perflib09. I am logged in under administrator account.
