Split The Work Load Between Both Processors
Jan 20, 2009
I have just purchased Halo 2 for Microsoft Windows Vista. It runs but there is one problem......It runs choppy when in a room with multiple people or a lot of "action". I have the graphics turned as low as possible and the screen resolution all the way down too. One thing i did notice is that when running the game it only runs off one of my Intel Pentium Core 2 processors. My questions is: Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Is there a way to split the work load between both processors?

Is it possible to load a 32 bit version of AutoCAD 2009 so my third party software will work? If not, what are some other options? Because I need the third party software to do my job. I must have the 32 bit version of AutCAD.

How many processor will Vista take advantage of? I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate. Will it handle 8 processors? or 2 quad processors?

I don't know if this was asked before, please forgive me if this is just a repeat. I am new in the forum.
Does 64bit machines (Dual Processors or Quad etc) need a 64bit Vista to maximize its capabilities? I noticed that new PCs and Laptops shipped today have pre-installed Vista but 32bit OS . . . why is this? Or does it really matter? Please explain this puzzling mystery to a non-techie like me.

I'm trying to run multiple instances of a single (statistical) application on an Intel i7 machine so the instances can take advantages of all the processors. I have one wrinkle where I hope all the experts here would be able to help out. This application uses an MS Access db where all the data is stored. Ideally, it would be great if Vista and i7 would parallel process one instance of the app and the single db across all the processors. But after reading what multiple processors really means for today's apps, I realize that multiple processing/threading is an application issue. This is a statistical application that's not programmed for multi-processnig/threading.
So far, I was able to run two instances of the app against the single db. One instance as the admin user (I'm not sure if my terminology is correct) and another as admin. This is within the same user account. Both instances run different statistics against the same db on different processors. So i'm maximizing two processors.
Now can the experts out there tell me how I could launch two more instances of that app while still using the same db? I tried launching a third within the admin user accout but it said one instance already running. So I tried launching the third as admin but again said instance running. I also created another user account and ran it but it couldn't open the existing db. It need another db. I tried running as admin and still same.

Like many iPod fans, I always put my DVDs on my iPod and watch them when I am not working. It?s really a nice way to fill the time, but there is a problem that the movie is too long and I don?t have enough time to enjoy the whole movie at one time and next time when I want to watch it, it?s really hard to find out where to begin. From now on, it is no longer a problem. My friend tells me to split it into small parts. It works and I use Just put your DVD to your DVD Drive and click ?Load DVD? to import yourDVD.
Choose your output profile from the drop-down list. It has many profiles for different generations of iPod, such as iPod nano, iPod video and even iPhone. Click?settings? button, a pop-up window will show up and allows you to adjust ?Encoder?, ?Bit Rite?, ?Resolution? and other video/audio settings...................

Was using: Outlook 2003 on a Windows Vista Home Edition desktop Program: Backup and Restore was set for weekly backup of several folders including my Outlook pst files to an external hardrive Problem: trying to restore the pst files which Vista split across several zip archives
I had a main pst file (my deliverable one) and several archive files that were quite large. The computer crashed several times, but I had always a recent backup. Finally the computer had to be sent back and I no longer have it. All of my backups seem intact, as I have been able to restore all of my other data except for my pst files. I think that the Vista Backup and Restore program broke up the pst files into smaller chunks when it zipped them. I am trying to restore them with a Windows XP laptop also running Outlook 2003.
I have tried: unzipping the pst files and both importing and opening the pst files into Outlook, Thunderbird and Eudora. Outlook opens it but nothing is inside. Th and Eu won't read them. SCANPST - tells me the pst files (which have .pst extensions) are not pst files extracting the pst's and copying them into one file in Command Prompt using Copy /b outlook2*.pst outlookcopy.pst - this created the latter file but it is also unreadable as a pst file. Is it possible on a non-Vista machine to fix these files?

I find it mildly annoying and somtimes confusing that my hard drive is split into C: and E:, and an external drive (eg a usb stick) is called D: I understand that there are historical reasons for this. Is there any point in trying to re-assign the drive letters (and if so, how? ) or would it cause more trouble than it's worth?

I suddenly got this overlay on my computer screen. Split right down the middle like someone laid a peice of paper over it. Sometimes it fades and you can see the screen behind it. Sometimes there is a band in the middle and the other side is visible with my mouse traveling to it like with a dual screen set up. Is there any way I can find out what is causing this? Everything else looks too good for it to be a graphics card going out?

In 2001 I bought a stand alone CD recorder to transfer my vinyl collection. I am now in the process of ripping the resultant CDs and I thought this might be a good time to correct some of my early recording mistakes - the most common being that I forgot to manually increment track numbers. Is it possible to split a single WMA track into the original component tracks and, if so, how do I proceed?

My Disk is split into 2 partitions, Vista (C: ) and Data (E, each is about 70 Gb. I do not use the Data partition. I want to delete it and allow Vista(C to use all 140 Gb. The Help pages suggest that if I delete (or reduce the size of) "Data", the free space becomes unallocated? Can I repartition the disk to allow Vista C: to acces all 140 Gb?

I finally decided to upgrade to Vista, and since I have 4GB ram I thought I'd give 64bit a shot. Every game I play crashes, or fails to load at all, or gets into the game and crashes during map load. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I have installed and re-installed the OS multiple times to no effect. I've downloaded all of the windows updates. During one of my first installs of vista, I was able to get in to games of codwaw, but then it would crash after about 5 secs.......

Problems started back in the middle of Sept (1 1/2 months ago). I logged several hrs, over 3 days, over the phone w/ Microsoft Tech support. Unfortunately, were unable to pin point the problem. They said it was probably a conbination of spyware and viruses. Here are some of the issues acurring:
I have 2 accts. Mine, (which has administrator privlages), and a Guest acct. Every time I log in to my administrator account, my desktop does NOT load. A TEMP user account is created. With all new desktop settings, etc. I receive an error message saying that my user profile was/did not load correctly. A Temporary user account has been created. Any changes tothis acct will not be saved. Many of my programs are screwed up. ie; Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word. My Microsoft Word created each time, as if for the first time. But will not load 100%. The only way I am able to access my files, (Docs, music, photos, etc.), is by going to start, go into Computer, click C:/ drive, click on users, click on emilee. And there are all my folders file files.

it seems as though my CPU enjoys spinning up to 100% load. I'm not entirely sure why. It might be because I have an old CPU and motherboard (Athlon 64 3700+, which is, of course, single core and an Asus A8N-32 SLI Deluxe) but it never happened with XP Pro (unless I was doing something super intensive).
So, here's the deal: it sounds like something is spinning up but it's not my hard drives. Could it be the chip fan? It happens when I'm playing video games and, more recently, when I've been loading something even moderately graphics intense on the internets (I use Firefox 3.0.10, which has been crashing a bit lately, but that's not the issue here, hehe). Could it be the graphics card? Though I don't see why that would put a huge load on my CPU. (The card is an nVidia 8800 GT.)
There doesn't seem to be anyone one process that is causing this; the processes with the massive load change while whatever it is is spinning and the CPU is at 100% load.

I installed Vista recently and now, when I've got all updates and I've installed few programs into Windows like Visual Studio, Mobile Device Center, some SDKs etc, every time the system is idle the CPU load is 50%, not exactly, but about 50%.
So I've tried to determine which process makes this CPU load. After Alt Ctrl Delete and Task Manager I haven't got to know anything. I've installed Process Explorer from Sysinternals. He told me process "System" makes this high load. I've tried to "kill" process "System". Yes, load felt down. But this isn't solution because after reboot it's the same.

I switched to Vista from XP but I have now a problem. I am using an old DOS program which needs some settings in SETVER.EXE I am asked to load this program in CONFIG.SYS (or CONFIG.NT) and so I added there the line device="c:xxxsetver.exe" But when I call setver.exe it says that it is not loaded. I have been able to load this program in Windows 2000 and XP without problem

I have a new machine with Vista Home Premium. I find when browsing in IE8 it works fine for a while then it just can't seem to load any pages even my home page. No message, just a blank screen and the green bar across the bottom sitting there about half way across and doesn't go any further as if it can't load the page. I have cleaners I have tried but the only thing that works is to restart my machine.

Whenever I startup my computer it gives me an error message saying the it could'nt load wmhtll32.dll. It doesn't seem to be affecting system functionality or anything though.
My laptop runs vista ult 64 also so I checked the syswow64 folder for the file but it wasn't in there. why would this file be in desktop install of vista but not my laptop. I've ran multiple spyware and virus scans with nothing turning up.

On start up my laptop dispaly the desktop error message: Could not load or run '""' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry. This makes no sense to me at all.

I can open google, search with google, but IE does not open any of the links! I tried to load firefox or chrome, but IE won't open the pages! Also, I can't update Windows. I tried to check for problems in connection, result was no problems found. Obviously I'm connected, because google works fine. Nothing else (virus, Win updates) does.

I've got an 32 bit application that uses a data feed plugin two .dll components of this plugin need to be placed in the application folder but the third which is an API needs to go to Windows>system32 folder. The application can not load under Vista Home Premium x64 the API .dll residing in system 32. needless to say that everything worked fine with Windows XP. I have no clue where the problem is. Is there any security Vista that I'm not aware of?

I have the unfortunate need to reinstall Vista Ultimate on my home PC. My OEM sent me reinstall disks for both 64 and 32 bit Ultimate versions. I am graciously inquiring for experts' opinions on whether or not to load the 64 bit verson since my basic use will only be home office, some photo editing and some gaming. I have also read that there are a lot of software compatibility issues with 64 bit. Just looking for general opinions. (My desktop is quite capable of supporting Vista 64 bit).

im getting kinda tired if not mad about having to install vista. I had XP on a system I just built for a friend but now I have been trying to install Vista 64 on his new gammin rig. Howeve Ive found that the load process seems to be locking up. The first time I tried to load it, it just sat at 0% in Expanding files, the second time at 18% and were talking 30 mins at a time. Im just about had it with messing with windows vista and doing a nice fresh XP load on it cause I know that It works already, I just wanted him to get the newer better...........
