Cannot Set Virtual Memory Home Premium
Mar 23, 2008I noticed that my virtual memory is set to no pagefile? I've tried setting it to custom, system managed, etc. I always click the "set" button and it will show what I change it to if I set a custom size. When I reboot and go back to the settings, it is back to No Pagefile?

Oct 19, 2009Gateway/Acer NV14u laptop
Problem:
Pointer freezes and seconds later the screen goes black while external mouse is plugged in.
Here is a link to the computer specs.
Gateway Official Site: Shop - Notebooks - NV5214u Laptop Product Details
Other info:
I've owned it for almost a month with no problems at all. I was aware at the time of other people having this happen, but noticed almost every laptop on the market has issues with a few or more of them. Everything worked just fine with an external mouse used. Never had one problem...
I then formated my harddrive and everything seemed to be ok. Now, when I plug in the external mouse, every 5-15 minutes the pointer will freeze and shortly afterwards the screen goes black. Everything appears to be running still, but won't shut down unless you hold in the power button. It has no problems at all with it not plugged in.
I assumed it was a driver issue, or possibly a bad reinstall. After about a hour of looking through search results I have no idea what the deal is.
I have tried updating the graphics card drivers and installing all updates, but still get the same errors.
Installing Home Premium 64bit W/ 4g RAM?
Mar 23, 2008I keep reading about folks who needed to remove some sticks of ram before installing vista 64-bit. Is this mandatory? I have 4 gig of Ram and I really don't want to open up my box and remove 2 gigs, as my computer is large and I'd have to remove memory cooling, etc. (I know, lazy) Do some people with 4 gigs ram succeed in installing vista without removing memory?

Nov 27, 2008As I bought the product today and when I put the disk in the drive and ran the installer, it all seemed to go well and I then rebooted the computer with the disk still in the drive. On the reboot the computer hung up and stayed on a Black screen, I then did a Reset of my computer and when it rebooted I got a Blue screen with an error message - System_Service_Exception. The computer rebooted and I removed the disk, and then I got another Blue screen about Bad_Pool_Header.
Finally I had to restart my computer with my Vista disk in place, so that I could un-install Norton Ghost 14. I managed to do this and I then did a System Restore to get my computer back to a decent state so I could use it. I have had a search around on the Symantec website, and I cannot find anything to help me with this problem. And how I can install Norton Ghost 14 on my computer, and if I have to disable anything for the installation?
Display Glitch With 64bit Home Premium
Nov 8, 2009A little background: was using XP 32bit since it's conception and decided to install 64bit vista home premium, since my current architecture can support it. I'm running a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ (2.8GHz), 2 GB of RAM, and an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS (640MB Video Memory).
nVidia Driver version: 191.07
DirectX version: 10.0
As you can probably discern from the screenshot below, I have a slight graphical glitch that seems to be causing little errors whenever anything is redrawn on my screen... Needless to say, this problems didn't exist when I was using XP.
update edit: went into performance tab in the advanced system settings and tried best performance options, no change, glitch persists...
Home Premium 64bit Boot Loops
Jul 27, 2009I have a 4 month old HP desktop running 64 bit Vista Home Premium. Historically its been running great. This could be unrelated, I loaded Norton 360 on it a week ago and its been nagging me to set up the backup. I set it up the other night and it failed. Being tired I decided to look at it the next day. The next day it would not boot. It goes through the bios and as soon as it gets to windows it loops back and starts over. I have run the F9 diagnostics and all the hardware checks out. I can't F11 into the recovery partition so I have ordered the recovery cd's from HP. I have checked all the connections to the mother board, memory, HD's, cabling etc, with no luck. I can't imagine what would have happened other than Norton overwriting something on C drive when it tried to backup. (who knows with Norton).

Vista Home Premium 32bit And Gaming In 64bit
May 16, 2008I am currently running Vista Home Premium 32bit (OEM, sadly) and would like your advice. I am planning on building a new PC over the summer (as I can finally work for decent wages!) and I want to make it a beast. I'm not going to go completely crazy; I'll have a budget of around €1,500 to €2,000. For the most part, I have a good idea of what I'll be getting (X38 Intel mobo, E8xxx Core2 or Quad, R700 ATi or 9xxx nVidia etc) but when it comes to RAM I'm a bit stuck. Should I get 4GBs and a cheaper 32bit version of Vista or go for the 64bit? I know 64bit can theoreticly handle alot more RAM than 32bit, but with 4GB is it worth spending the extra cash on 64bit, or will 32bit handle it just fine? (And by "handle it" I mean utilise it fully. I dont want to find only 3GBs out of 4GB are actually being used...) Aslo, for the 64bit users out there: how is driver support? Are you encountering many problems with games/drivers/hardware?

View 9 Replies View RelatedBlue Screens: Windows Home Premium 64bit
Dec 31, 2008I was having constant blue screens in my new Gateway comp. Its a laptop, M Series, 15.4 inch screen. It brought along the Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit OS with SP1. Dual processors, 4GB of memory. After countless of blue screens, they seemed to come and go, I figured the comp was just being dumb. I unistalled all the things I had placed on it [which really wasn't much] so the laptop was running with all the things it brought from scratch only. Blue screens disappeared for a day or so, and then came again, though with less frequency. I was using it today, left it for a few minutes, and when I returned it had gone to the usual stand by mode.
Moved the cursor so it would restore, but after twenty minutes of a blank black screen I decided to turn it off and on again. And that's when it started to refuse to boot. Whenever it tries the bar appears for a minute or so, and afterwards it's replaced by the BSOD. To my disdain they always disappear quickly, so the most I can read on it is something about a driver malfunction, or whatever, and the error code 0x0000007E. So yeah, if anyone has a clue as to why it won't boot, and how to fix it, I'd be grateful. Of course, I could just re-format it -- but I want to leave that option as a last case scenario.
64bit Home Premium To Ultimate Upgrade Post SP1
Apr 30, 2008i have several 32bit vista ultimates on other machines. the 64bit machine has Home Premium and i'd wanted to go ultimate on it as well. i saw "Anytime Upgrade" and using the name only postponed the upgrade till i had funds and time to do the upgrade. surprise 1, anytime refers to paying for the upgrade. i was sure to use the 64bit machine to order and postponed my expectations on using the ultimate features until the DVD arrived to me in alaska.
since the upgrade order process said it was scanning my machine i was sure i'd get the 64bit disk. surprise 2, disk was the 32bit DVD tho it was plus SP1 so i guess it did scan my machine in some fashion. in the package the instructions on ordering 64 bit media are given. use this web site and order. you'll have to pay even more and wait even longer but you'll get the ultimate upgrade ultimatly. surprise 3 the web site after putting in the product key from the ultimate upgrade dvd package gives the error "No Offer Found"
Vista Home Premium 64bit Low Power Shutdown Icon
Jan 31, 2009For some reason, the laptop I just bought (Gateway FX P-7805u) will not remain shutdown if the Ethernet cable is still plugged in, and will turn itself back on. Sometimes it's immediately after shutdown, sometimes it's a few minutes later. I am actually pressing shutdown (not the "low power" option button, that looks very similar to the shutdown icon, located next to the Lock button in the Start Menu).
View 7 Replies View Related64 Bit OEM Home Premium: Harware Does Not Work
Feb 25, 2008I am getting a new PC. The 64 bit OEM version of Home Premium is only $10 more, and I will have the hardware to run it. However, there are many that warn against the 64 bit version, and the last thing I would want is to find out that some hardware does not work, or that there are problems with our home network. I am also worried about not being able to run 16 bit programs and bits and pieces without proper signatures. Apparently the 64 bit version rejects these. The best alternative would be to buy the 64 bit version, but install and run it as 32 bit untill such time when I progressively replace hardware, the other PC's etc. Is this possible? I have heard that it can be run as 32 bits, but is this across the system, or is it on application by application basis.

May 4, 2008I realize that this is not the proper place for this question but I can't seem to find the right newsgroup. Anyway, I am running the Microsoft Virtual PC program on a Vista home Premium laptop and a XP home desktop. In both of these machines when I attempt to install a virtual OS, I keep getting the message "Reboot and Select proper boot Device or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device". Pressing enter with the OS disc in the drive starts the disc spinning but ends up with this same message. Now, Microsoft says that Vista Home Premium and XP Home won't support Virtual PC but I have read from other sources that it does work with these OS's. Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Premium 64bit: Programs Freeze Up
Nov 11, 2008I 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.

Basically I downloaded the installer (making sure it was the x64 version), ran it and it all went fine until suddenly the installation just rolled back and said that no modifications were made to the system. It doesn't give me an error message. I searched on the Internet but I can't seem to find the solution. And yes, I tried both the normal installer and the SP1 version.
View 7 Replies View RelatedXP Home Outperforming 64bit
May 18, 2008My system is primarily used for video processing and I have been running XP home it it for about 6 months. The system is a 3 GHZ quad core extreme so it's no slouch, 10K RPM Raptor boot drive, 3.25 GB RAM and a decent PCI-E video card.
So I thought since the apps I use have 64 bit versions, mainly Windows media encoder, I though I would get a 64bit version of a windows OS. So I got Vista 64BIT Ultimate. Most of the encoding I do uses WMV V9 Advanced or VC1 which is optimized to run inder a 64 bit OS. Just for the record I was going to download the trial version of XP 64 bit to test but the trial page is not offering the trial at the moment. I've been encoding WMV HD content for some time now so I know the tricks for performance.
I kept my XP home install on a sepereate drive so I can test. The first test with Vista was a 1080 15 minute clips encode down to a 720 resolution. Vista 64bit took 38 minutes, XP home using Encoder 32 bit took 27 minutes. I've done no tweaking of Vista yet but my XP home install is basically stock as well, no performance tweaks. Am I jumping to conclusions or did I just drop a dozen lead bars in the trunk of my sports car?

I'm looking for something in the 320 to 500 GB range that I don't need a loan for! bought a Seagate FreeAgent and the package said "works with Vista". I went to their website for install instructions and found, in micro print, "no support for Vista 64, only Vista 32 bit".
