Is There Any Utility Or Program That Can Tell Whether Your System Is = Using 64bit Programs
Nov 20, 2009
Is there any utility or program that can tell whether your system is = using 64bit programs? I ask because I just installed Nitro PDR Pro 6 x64 and it installed it = in the x85 Programs Directory. There's no way I can even tell if a true = 64 bit program is actually being utilized in my 64 bit OS. I know I'm = being anal but with all the talk of 64 bit vs 32 bit, I started getting = curious. Seems that all the big box stores sell computers mostly with = 64 bit Windows installed but a great majority of the programs are 32 bit = (I know they don't make many).......

My desktop has vista home premium and my laptop has win xp home. I have a music making hobby using Pro Tools 7.4 Im ready for another laptop and my alienware area 51 is too heavy for traveling. Im told that I can run vista on a mac book pro, they are regarded as being pretty stable and compatible with Pro Tools. But I need to find out if I will be able to run my other PC programs on the mac. Like excel, MS money, Second Copy, True Image, my kodak all in one printer, etc. Also: Pro Tools cannot run on a 64 bit system. Can someone answer this question?

First and foremost create a Recovery Disc and keep it safe and do not switch off the System Recovery utility. Do not remove the bloatware came with your PC unless you are desperate for space in your Hard disc,if and when you remove them do it one by one monitoring the response of the PC. If you couldn't get SP1,don't loose your sleep over it because it is not for the benefit of the user and it is designed to stop the user using other free third party softwares and tools(in my opinion anyway and remember I am not an expert).
Do not rely solely on the advices and do your own research as well because these so called advisers haven't provided me with tangible proof of their competence. Most of them hail vista as the best but wouldn't say why. If you ask any questions,they will blame you first for not asking the question properly and point you to a website to learn how to ask questions. Then they will request the third party software details and blame them. Now the turn of your hardware incompatibility which creates the problem. When everything fails they will accuse you of being an Ubuntu user. I suspect these so called experts use Ubuntu or some thing and pretend to be Vista experts and trying to damage the image of Vista. However,there are many helpful sites available and one of them is: www.vistax64.com If you do the basic housekeeping maintenance you will do fine.

I recently installed 64bit premium on my XPS 420. I am having tons of problems and cannot find solutions. If I leave my computer on and idle for about 4 hours (or any length of time)it goes to a standby..normal. but when get back on it, everything is screwy. If I plug in a flash drive it won't read it. If i try to turn off the computer or restart it, it dosnt shut down, it just goes to the screen where it says its shutting down but never shuts down. Programs act funny and freeze up a lot.

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
I was having problems installing a program (Berlitz German Premier) where the install would just disappear halfway thru the process. A program would not appear under my programs list but when I went to Uninstall an icon for uninstall of the Berlitz software appears for each time I tried to install it. However I get the following error messages (see attached document with screen captures) when I tried to delete it the traditional way.
When I use Windows Install Clean Up utility, the program is nowhere to be found on the list; thus I can't use that program.

I have an issue that does not seem easy to solve. I have looked at many ghost software programs to try to achieve this but have not found one yet. I need to move my PROGRAMS and files from my Vista 32bit machine to a new Vista 64bit machine I purchased. How can I do this? If I cannot do this what will the performance issue be by doing a complete copy of my current 32bit os and using that on my new i7 machine? Finally if I do transfer my 32 bit system, can I upgrade to a 64bit OS? What about when Windows 7 is available?

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create and association in the Set Associations control panel" I have been having a problem with my computer for several days now. Opening all programs causes me to recieve this error message. I have to use right click + Run as Administrator to use any of my programs. I have done some forum surfing and tried several recommended techniques for correcting this problem but to no avail. I downloaded the exefix_vista reg file but the very same problem prevents me from merging it (I even tried fixing the reg extension but that failed aswell). I have run the sfc/scannow in command propmt but that came up empty. I would have fresh installed but I am away from home and do not have the means to reinstall vista. I apologize if this post seems in any way redundant but my forum searches have failed me. HELP! PLEASE!

and I was thinking about just going ahead and getting a high system, but in the 64bit flavor. My question is, can a 64bit system run 32bit games. I know some games are already out that run 64bit, but there are many more 32bit games that I am interested in right now.

Bought new pc for xmas but my son is having an error come up when trying to run games. Seems to be quite a common one. d3dx9_34.dll missing, try reinstalling application. The tricky bit is that I am out of the country until the 15th Jan and therefore trying to help via phone and msgr. After research it has led me to Directx 9.c needing to be installed. My son did this but then got a conflict error with the the DirectX 10 that comes with Vista. After more searching I believe it is a case of installing the single d3dx9_34.dll file.
My question is where do I extract and install it to. Have read it needs to go into Sys32 folder whilst others have said Syswow64. Can someone please advice and please try to keep it simple as I need to explain i to my 12yr old. Running Vista Home premium 64 bit

A friend had issues with his laptop, the system (Vista Home Premium)came with lots of preinstalled acer software, he had tried getting rid of them but had no luck, anyhow, he ended up turning off all the startup programs in system config, upon rebooting, he had the error no os found, i have since managed to get passed htis, however i cannot get any further.
The HD is recognised in Bios. The repair from a disc was completed Now it will boot into windows but nothing, no user, no task bar, nothing just an arrow on the screen with a background. I have tried removing memory and starting up repair for a second time bootsect via cmd nothing, i cant boot into safe mode, it just loops back to normal boot, it has no restore points.
I only have vista basic and vista business discs, and he does not have a disc, it came with a partition, i have tried recovery but it tells me there is not backup, yet i can get the task manager up and into cmd, this shows me all the files, so i know there is no issue there. I am assuming that the boot file in boot.ini is up the duff. Is there any way i can get this thing to boot up with his user and all back to normal?

I am the administrator for my computer, I sign in and go to my control panel and when I select a program I want to unistall it says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" for one I am the system administrator and I am trying to uninstall, not to install, this is really starting to tick me off. I have went to the trouble section on windows. I have right clicked on it and tried to even check in as administrator and that option is not available in control panel, it is in menu options, but it does not let me uninstall in menu opitions.

This is not a joke! I started to hear sporadically some music and voice on my PC, like if I was listening to a radio station; I have no such application on my system. When this is happening, only ordinary applications (like Outlook or Word) are running. Stopping all the applications does not make any difference. When it happens, I have noticed that a process called 17134.exe is running and is consuming quite a lot of memory space. At start-up of my system, the original memory space used by that process is around 2000K but when I start hearing the sounds, the amount of memory used is around 58000K and varying; it uses between 10 to 30% of CPU. If I stop the process, the situation goes back to normal, no more sounds. The description of the process is ???Unload PerfMon Counters???. I looked for a file named 17134.exe on my disk but there is no such file. When I start my system, I have a window with an error message: 17134.exe application error, click OK to terminate the program. The process is recreated automatically. I make sure that my anti-virus is always up-to-date and I ran a full scan on my system. Nothing unusual was detected. I would like to know if that process is legitimate, and why it behaves like that.

Vista Home Premium 64-bit Since I started using a registry cleaner program (Advanced SystemCare Professional), I've noticed that every once in a while the system will go through two startups. The first startup begins normally, but then after the Welcome screen there's a pause of several seconds. Then a window pops up in the upper left corner of my screen that says "setting up personalized settings" followed by "msiexec /fuo {product ID} /qn". There's a second window that appears right after that but it disappears before I can read it. The system then goes through what appears to be a normal shutdown, and then immediately restarts a second time, and from that point on everything seems fine.
This doesn't happen at every startup. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Advanced SystemCare, but I can't pinpoint the cause. The anomaly disappears if I disable all of ASC's automated functions. It's not a critical problem, but it has aroused my curiosity. I'd welcome any insights anyone can offer.

I purchased a digital update of Windows Vista Premium upgrade and the download won't load. I am useing a trial version of Windows XP 64-bit. I first used the digital locker a few times and it would stop at 99 percent and give a validation error. I figured it the locker was having a problem so i manual downloaded the three files through my internet browser. They downloaded fine without problems, but when I tried to run the Vista setup I ran into another error: 0x8007000D Windows was unable to create a required installation folder.

All the cool icons I find on the internet seem to be in the .png form and supposedly work with/on MS systems. But whenever I try to associate one of these .png icons with a program or file the system refuses to let me. Is there some setting in Vista that I need to set in order to use these icons?

However it won't run and I'm being informed "You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility". I am the only person that uses my PC and my profile has full administration. how I might be able to successfully backup my files?
