When downloading games, how can I tell if they're compatible with Vista 64-bit that I have on my new laptop? If I buy a new game and the box says it's compatible with Vista, does that also mean it's OK with the 64-bit version?
having the above game bought me for xmas,and then trying to install it on my pc nothing happens. Operating system vista 64-bit ultimate edition,also tried it on my 32bit version and still no luck all other games run fine,is there anyway around this problem even on the back of the box its compatible with vista.
Without a doubt the worst windows version ever made! Microsoft were finally on track with windows XP pro but they had to go and screw it up by bringing us vista! Nothing works, nothing is compatible every program supposedly compatible seizes or shuts down! It is constantly vulnerable to viruses! There's no end to the complaints I have about this crappy version of windows! Wake up microsoft because you're just soft now and nothing micro about it!
just got some games loaded and I used to have ATITray Tools which would let you keep the frame rate and temps in the corner during game play, anything like that for Nvidia? Just ran Quake4 at full specs and had Nvidia performance control panel turn the fan to 90%... but would like to monitor the temps and frame rates on this and other games. 9800GT 1GB. ( as soon as the new card arrives.... back to ATI tools.
A new laptop comes with 4GB ram and I am given the option to select either Vista 32 bit or Vista 64bit OS. Is it recommended to go for 64bit vista to use tat extra 800mb ram or i should stick with 32bit vista for better compatibility?
I am trying to find an external hard disk drive that is fully compatible with Vista x64.
I purchased a Western Digital My Book Premium II drive and it doesn't work properly even though their web site states that is Vista compatible. I contacted them and they fairly ridiculed me for assuming that that meant it would be compatible with 64-bit Vista. I can still use the drive to actually copy files to but there is no 64-bit driver so the bundled software doesn't work and Vista keeps telling me that it needs to install a driver for this device.
I contacted Seagate about their FreeAgent Pro product and they claim it should work even though there is also no 64-bit driver for it. I don't trust that statement after my experience with the WD drive.
I just gave away my Dell printer because it was incompatible with Windows Vista, and i need a new printer ASAP. Please let me know which printers ($210.00 max) might be Vista-compatible. Specifically, I am searching for an all-in-one with scanning and perhaps duplex.
I just downloaded Men of War and I go to install it but it says it's not compatible. I go to compatibility mode and that doesn't work either. Turns out it's only compatible with xp sp3 and vista 32 bit. But I have read posts of people saying they are playing on vista x64, but they don't say how.
When I use the 64-bit IE it periodically asks if it can install flash. I go to do it and the adobe says they don't have flash compatible with 64-bit IE. Has anyone found a way around? I really want to use IE64 with a flash player. Adobe can't be the only game in town...i found an alternate pdf viewer called FoxitReader.
I am in the process of replacing my current PC (with Windows XP) for a new upgraded PC with Windows Vista. My concern is that all my old software in my current PC (with XP) may not be compatible with Windows Vista. But I am told Microsoft has come out with Vista SP1 that should take care of all compatibility. Is this true? Has anyone had any problem with Windows Compatibility in installing old software from XP into Vista?
I have a Microsoft Window Vista Home Premium Laptop. I received a HP Photosmart A616 Printer for Christmas and it is not compatible to my Vista. The paper work that came with it says go to www.hp.com/go/windowsvista. I want to be able to print picture off my computer, not only from a memory card.
Everything is working fine except for the sound which, even though I have put it to maximum is practically inaudible. Is it possible that she needs new speakers? the ones she has look very elderly! I have checked that they are plugged in ok and enabled.
I have a Dell M6300 laptop running Vista Ultimate x86 that I want to ugprade to Ultimate x64. I currently use Embassy Trust Suite on this laptop (with Vista Ultimate x32) for hardware authentication. My HDD and system are locked by passwords which are both mapped to my fingerprint. The hardware authentication is the only functionality I use it for. The 2.1.2.25 version of Embassy Trust Suite is available from Dell for my model but it doesn't appear to be x64 compatible. It lists only Vista x86. Embassy has a full version on their website but it references the TPM driver from my manufacturer. Does anyone out there have an M6300 running an x64 version of Vista?

I installed Sandboxie and used it untill I realized it toggled Protected Mode to OFF. I posted on the Sandboxie forum my concerns about Protected Mode: OFF. I questioned why Sandboxie is not compatible with Vista defaults. I questioned why and how Sandboxie is able to toggle Vista defaults. I received several very ascertive and defensive comments from the site admin.i.e. I don't need Protected Mode > Protected Mode offers only a very limited Sandbox for IE7 >Sandboxie will protect IE7, my programs, my apps. and my HDD/Computer better than Protected Mode or anything else Vista/Microsoft has to offer. The application does run flawlessly and after hours of use I had no tracks, no temps, no reg. entries, nothing got to my HDD. Everything was dumped when I closed the program. So, in theory any malware was also dumped. The Author of Sandboxie and several reviews claim Sandboxie as the best first line of security defense. Defense against Zero Day attacks, Hacker Wednesday etc. etc. Nothing gets to my HDD, so no worries. I hope this post is not too long and your still with me. My concerns are Protected Mode:OFF and I don't know what else Sandboxie toggles away from Vista defaults.
Yesterday when I tried to open Mozilla Firefox, they showed up some error like crash something, I removed the old, install the new, the problem is still there.
I don't know why, before it ran smooth. I did try to install the old version firefoxe 2.0 but impossible.
I thoght a list over all 64bit apps that works on Vista would bee good to have. So I started one! NOTE: Only Native 64bit apps, that is compiled to 64bit. Not 64bit capable. Security:.....
I use a HP LaserJet 1012 printer with two WinXP/2 PCs on a wireless network. I also have a Vista laptop but Vista and the HP 1012 are not compatible. Are there any signs that HP or MS will address this compatibility problem any time soon? Is there a workaround?
I have a Toshiba P205-S6347 running Viste Home Premium 32 bit. The problem seems to be my video card which is built in, Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset Family. I am running version 7.14.10.1329. I read that SP1 will not update if the driver version is between 7.14.10.1322 and 7.14.10.1403. Tried to download the drivers from Intels webside they were not compatable. I called Toshiba support, they told me the driver I have is the moste recent driver and that I would not be able to upgrade to SP1.
I'm thinking about upgraded my system from a 32bit to a 64bit. I have a few questions. First can I overlay 64 on top of 32? How can I check if my system if it is 64bit compatible? What version of vista would I need? Would I need some major internal upgrades ie...graphics card, ram and so on before upgrade of OS?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 that came with Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 6000) installed. It has the AMD Athlon(t) 64 X2 Dual-Core Precessor TK-55. I also have a copy of XP x64 that I haven't installed on anything yet. I looked at the Dell support page on downgrading this machine, and there are a number of steps listed plus some drivers that I will need. Now my question is whether these drivers are compatible with the 64 bit version of XP?
I don't see any mention of 32-bit XP versus 64-bit XP on the Dell page devoted to downgrading. I used to work for Microsoft, in NT system development in fact, but that was a long time ago and I don't know anything about the 64-bit system architecture. I assume that my copy of XP x64 is compatible with the Athlon in my Dell because both have "x64" in the name, but even that could be wrong.
When i insert the Quake 4 disc in drive i have an error message that the program has known compatibility issues with the version of Vista. Also says to have the latest version of macromedia flash player installed, which i have. System requirements are all ok on pc. Is it ok to go ahead with the install, and will it run ok once i have.
I have Vista ultimate right? I go to Microsoft site cause I want the Korean IME since I am korean. But, the language pack says that its not compatible. Yes I have tried SP2 compatibility mode.
