I'm looking for a native x64 command line tool that can display the amount of free RAM. It has to be a true x64 tool. Does anyone know one? My google searches brought up nothing.
Edit: I finally found what I was looking for. RamStatus is the tool that helped me out.
I am writing to this Forum in desperation because I cannot find any way to get in touch by email with Windows Live OneCare even though I am a paid subscriber. I have NOT had a good experience of MS tech support. After 18 months of endless problems with Windows VISTA Ultimate Edition V 6001 I now wish to reformat my computer and get RID of it altogether, replacing it with System 7 for which I have a serial number and a beta download from the recent Microsoft online download offer.
As VISTA seems to have eleminated DOS altogether and the old FDisk command doesn't work from a command line start, I have tried to reformat from my OEM Vista Ultimate Edition re-installation DVD which I am certain used to offer me reformat and partitioin delete as the first options but that no longer seems to offer me any reformat option at all and not only instists only on re-installing VISTA (which I no longer want) but leaves the old installation in a directory renamed "WindowsOld" which VISTA will then not allow me to delete....
I'm having trouble with the REN command with wild cards as used from the command prompt. For example, in the REN command help, it says: "For example, if you had files that are named smitha.doc, smithb.doc, and smithc.doc, you could use the ren smith*.doc smythe*.doc command. All file names automatically show the new spelling, and are renamed smythea.doc, smytheb.doc, and smythec.doc.".........

View 9 Replies View RelatedI use a program called "Texmod" for a number of games to modify their textures. One game I am recently playing, however, requires that a command line switch be used to run the game client exe directly. Texmod doesn't support command line switching through it's own, so the game client refuses to work. Is there anyway (via Windows options or a third-party application) I can embed/hardcode the command line switch into the exe permanatly, so if the exe is ran, it'll always force load the command line switch?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've read the Help file in BGInfo - but can't figure out how to use Command Line Parameters. When I click on my startup icon, I would like to invoke certain parameters. The line I came up with is: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfoBginfo.exe /timer:99 /popup /taskbar /rtf:C:DATABGINFO /nolicprompt" Obviously, this is wrong. My Target line reads: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfoBginfo.exe". My Start in line reads: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfo"
what, exactly, should go in each line. I would also like to add lines of information to BGInfo - but that question will come after I get the above working.
I bought an Acer Aspire 6530 last week. I noticed whenever I go to the GUI disk defragmenter (My Computer>Right click C:>Properties>Tools>Degfragmentation) that it ALWAYS says I need to defrag the drive even after I did did one. But when I do the command line defrag (Start>All Programs>Accessories, says I don't need to. This happens everytime even after I run the defragmenter. So why does
the GUI one says I need to while the command line one says I dont. Isnt the GUI and Command Line one basically the same?
I messed with the ownership and permission settings of my windows directory and now, even the system doesnt have permission to access the files...so vista doesnt start up... is there a way to open command prompt without starting up vista and use the icacls command to restore the permissions?Also, if i use my vista boot cd and repair my vista installation, will it delete my files?

Is there a way to set UAC to capture or log the entire command line of a program including all switches that is requesting elevation? I have an unknown potentially suspicious program that is requesting elevation and I am unable to see the entire command line or path to the binary to investigate it. To be safe, I have declined running the program, and briefly examined the Windows event logs but have not been able to find the details I am looking for.
As a temporary work-around, I am going to connect via remote desktop to take a screenshot of the UAC prompt, but this only gives me part of the command since the display dialog cuts of the text.

Our company has a 16bit command line application that works fine under XP and was working fine under Vista until, we believe, service pack 1 was installed. The program works initially to accept keyboard input but seems to ignore any keyboard input after a few minutes of the PC being left with no activity. We have tested this on Windows Vista and Windows 7 and have exactly the same issue. We have created a very basic program that would allow you to type characters and exit when Enter is pressed. I have narrowed the time delay before the program freezes down to about 4 minutes of inactivity. This will cause the program to not respond to any key presses on the keyboard and has to be closed by clicking on the x in the top right corner.
I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue and also if there is a fix for this? (Perhaps a registry key timeout setting?) Below is a copy of the source code we used for our simple program. The program is written in Microsoft C version 5. We are using an Int 16h Function 00h BIOS call to read the keyboard character.
I've been getting this error message when I try to open certain control panel functions from the RUN command line or through the MMC console itself. Other functions like performance information, user accounts and parental controls don't respond when clicked. Windows update might flash up the beginnings of a window for a split second but wont load. I've got the update icon on my task bar saying it cant update. Other than some key function being inaccessible the PC runs fine (apart form Firefox has started crashing out every now again) I can install software ok.
I've run the SVG /scannow thing and it found no problem Its my home PC sp I am setup as administrator. This problem is effecting another vanilla admin account AND the hidden Admin account.

Can anyone explain this: 3219. The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLately I bought a new nice laptop with a strong cpu and lots of ram. The reason was, that a wanted to use it for both gaming, programming, designing and recording music.
This other day, I finaly had enough saved up for buying the M-Box 2 with Pro Tools software. At this point, I realised, for my big dissapointment and confusement, that it wasn't supported for my Vista system?
I learned, that Digidesign doesn't support Vista Home Basic, and overall doens't support 64 bit systems!? Ok, maybe this is Digidesign's problem, but then again - if I had known this before I bought my laptop, I would surely have bought a mac instead, so at that time it gets your problem.
My question is therefore: Why is M-Box 2 and Pro Tools not supported for x64 Vista systems, and why only a couple of x32 systems? This is simply not good enough, and I really must underline my dissapointment in this case.
I was looking for the snipping tool but it was gone, so I went to turn windows features on/off and the box was checked for tablet features. So I unchecked it and rebooted, went back to turn on features and rechecked it and rebooted again. Still the folder for tablet tools including the snipping tool is empty.

Microsoft as the most secure version of Windows to date. However, recent
research conducted with statistics from over 1.4 million computers within

I installed the 64 bit version of DAEMON Tools (the 32 bit version won't even install), and it gives me this error when I try to run it that says:
Initialization error 7.
This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD 1.37 or higher.
Kernel debugger must be deactivated.
What are they talking about? I'm using Vista x64, and this is the Vista x64 version. What is the kernel debugger, and how do I deactivate it (and do I even want to)?
Today I found that the Administrative Tools folder items are missing. This has happened before but can't remember how to fix it. Also when I attempt to merge a .reg file back into the registry the file simply opens with notepad for editing?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was poking around and noticed the following: Administrative Tools > Services (%SystemRoot%system32services.msc). However the following exists as well: (%SystemRoot%SysWOW64services.msc). So, is Vista 64 by default using the 32bit versions, or are the 64bit version in system32 as well? Note: When I run both neither have the "*32" which I'm assuming is a flag for 32bit support.

Is there some way of making a hunt for a specific time easier in Event Viewer? Or, is there some 3rd party software with the capability to sort all events by data and time??
