I am running Vista 64 bit and it works well. I have an application that won't install and it happens to be one I need. The installer stops with an error that says 64 bit is not supported. I run lots of other 32 bit programs. Is there any way to install a program in a 32 bit "work space"?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to run Heroes of Might and Magic 4 on Vista x64 Ultimate. But it gives me an error somthing like: can't run 32bit app. I thought WOW64 was able to run all 32bit apps, but I guess not. Or am I doing somthing wrong? I installed Microsoft Vitual PC and installed WinXP on this. Here I was perfectly able to run Heroes 4, so I think it's odd that the game can't just run in Vista x64.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI had the 32bit Vista Ultimate installed for a while and I just recently installed the 64bit onto a separate partition. I deleted the 32bit from the OS boot menu in system configuration but it won't let me delete or format the partition where the 32bit install was when I am in Vista. I deleted it using the DVD to boot into the partition area but after I did that my PC wouldn't boot or anything. I got it repaired but I am now back at where I started. Does anyone have any ideas about how to delete the old installation (entire partition) without screwing up the boot?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOnly just discovered this forum - looks really interesting. I currently have an OEM copy of Vista 32bit which I run quite happily, but would like to install x64 on another hard disc to test it out etc. I can borrow an x64 installation disc from a friend, can I install and activate x64 using my 32 bit key? Like I said, its the same system but will be installed on another hard disc. Will it allow me to activate? Or do I have to buy another copy of x64 OEM?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit. When I try to install almost anything, I get an error that says there is another installation in progress, finish that install and then install this program. The problem is I don't have anything at all installing. I have disabled and restarted Windows Installer and I have disabled a filed named hpqcxs08 under the Services tabs. That worked for a couple of installs, but now it has started again. I then tried to install msicuu2.exe (Windows Cleanup Utility) and it gave the same error and called it Error 1500.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIve just changed from 32bit to the 64bit OS, and I have noticed that I have 2 Program Folders one has x86 next to it. I take it that this is for 32bit programs and the other for 64bit applications. The question I have is most of the programs are in both folders which means taken up valuable harddrive space, is it advisable to delette the 32bit folder.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have a dell xps m1530 with vista home premium 32 bit (SP1). i recently tried to update to SP2 and ran into problems multiple times. i have tried installing both from windows update and from a separate file downloaded from the internet, and both times the installation aborted itself, saying either "error code B7" or "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". i've tried both re-downloading the file and turning off my security software, but neither has had any effect. has anyone else had this problem/know what i should do? i'd really like to update to SP2.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running Vista Home Premium x64 with SP1 and I am trying to install SP2 but I get this error: "the application binding data format is invalid"
I have uninstalled "Windows Live OneCare" and switched off the firewall and this has had no affect. I have also ran the "System Update Readiness Tool" and this has done nothing to help the situation either. Also tried the "The System File Checker tool". It got to 19% and then said "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation" Also when I try to install IE 8, I get this error code "800736b2". I had to do a system restore earlier today as something was causing Vista to lock up and I could only turn the PC off by holding the power button. This has resolved the issue of the lock ups. Don't know if this could have anything to do with it?
Yet again, a major rewrite of Vista and still no support for 4Gb ram as was promised in pre-release of Vista blurb years ago.....

I some how find this a little hard to beleive as there are still a lot apps. out there that are 32bit only. Has any one here heard of a push by MS to move everything strictly to 64bit.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure which will run better on my system. I hear 64bit supposedly runs programs faster then 32bit does. i'm planning on getting vista ultimate.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm about to toss out my 32 bit pentium and upgrade to dual or quad core. I'm not interested with buy a 64 bit vista this late in the game. I know that installing a 32 bit program on a 64 bit cpu is basically wasting 32 bits of cpu power. but if dual cores and quad cores use hyper threading, then would vista 32 work twice or 4 times as fast because the 32 bit o.s. will be hyperthreaded?

View 9 Replies View Relatedwhat is the max amount of RAM that Vista 32 bit will recognize? I ask this because I have 3 gigs of RAM currently on my 32 bit computer and I want to go buy some more. I found a good stick for under 20 dollars that I don't mind spending on. If I make my RAM go from 3 gigs to 4 gigs, will it recognize the extra gig? I heard that it will not recognize 4 gigs but I also heard that it won't recognize anything more than 4 gigs.
View 9 Replies View RelatedGot myself the Acer 5920 with the intel dual core processors. Every site says its 64 bit but still they installed the 32 version. For example, 3D Studio Max has 2 versions; 32 and 64 bit. The installer recognizes the 32 bit vista so it WONT install the 64 bit, but it does install the 32 bit version. Loading up the 32 bit version: it doesnt, error. Wrong processor.
So now I want to install the 64 bit vista. I got a dvd with it but whenever I run setup.exe or the autorun, it gives an error saying wrong os or summit (can look the exact error up when I'm home again) The question I already thin I know the awnser on: My pc can run vista 64 bit, right? Anyone else has issue's with 32/64 bit versions of software not running?
Or a solution how to install that 64 bit version? Booting didnt work, it doesnt see it as a bootable disc (I pressed F12, and when the pc boots it first checks the cd for a bootable disc) Im getting a new vista 64 dvd btw since the version I got was from a friend if ye kno wha I mean :P (wanted to test it before buying it, honnestly).....
I have on my computer 4096MB of ram (4 dimms)
Windows vista ultimate 32bit from te default reads 3582MB.
Now... after i install sp1 windows reads 4GB.
I wonder if this is reall or just a virtual.
I am currently using a vista ultimate 32bit machine for Photoshop drawings. As these images can become very large (up to 4gb in size) I am using my second drive as a scratch disk which slows thing down. My system has 4 gb ram but 32 bit only sees 3gb and I would like to utilize the extra gig and maybe add a further 2 or 4 gigs in the future - hence the upgrade to vista 64bit. Before I do, I have a few issues/queries.
1. I will buy a new hard drive to install the 64bit OS as a clean install and leave my 32bit OS on it's original disk incase it all goes horribly wrong. As I will now have three hard drives installed will this affect the installation of vista 64 bit? Will it interfere with the 32 bit versions boot sector?.... as I may need to swap back
2. I've read that vista 64bit has problems installing with 4gb ram installed. Is this true? Seems really odd if this is the case...............

Uping ram to 4gigs
I recently purchased an OEM version of Vista Home Premium 64bit. Stupid mistake, as my machine (AMD Athlon64 5600+X2 Dual Core, 4gb ram) can only run 32bit. Since I was already running a "lite version" of the 32bit software in my pc, I decided to enter the license key and activate the program. I have downloaded all updates available through WU, but so far no SP1. I checked the forum and followed some instructions about updating drivers etc in order to finally get SP1 through WU, but have had no success so far. Since my "lite version" is missing some components, I was wondering if there is anyway I can get the correct 32bit version from Microsoft, after all my license key should be go for both 64bit and 32bit.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently just purchased a new Dell XPS M1730 laptop - it should be delivered in the next week or so. Apparently dell doesn't sell 64bit Windows - so I'm getting 32bit Ultimate from them. I have a 64bit ultimate DVD that I've used on my current desktop system - but was wondering if the key from the 32bit install is 64bit compliant? Or if I just got charged from Dell the extra cash for an OS I will never use if I buy my own 64bit vista OS? Anyone know if the 32bit CALs from Dell are 64bit compliant? I'd like to order whatever I need to have it in time for the laptops arrival.
