I have an unusual problem which I could not find any answer so far.My version of Windows 7 is the Ultimate 64-bit, and lately I cannot install many 64-bit programs as it appears a message of incompatible version of Windows. Very strange.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit does not seem to open any 32 bit programs. When I try to open a 32 bit program, it shows up in the task manager for a few seconds (e.g. "firefox.exe x32"), then disappears after a few seconds. I can open Internet Explorer 64 bit fine, run it with no programs, but the 32 bit version doesn't work.I also can't access many of the Windows control panel settings, such as "Uninstall Programs." I can open the Control Panel folder, but when I double click on the items inside: nothing.Background: My wife decided it was a good idea to download and run a program she received in an email from a stranger and let it bypass our Avast antivirus SuperAntiSpyware, Trend Micro Housecall, and Microsoft Security Essentials; also CCleaner, and a few other similar utilities (finding and deleting many items.) I feel fairly confident (not 100%) that there are no viruses/malware left, but either they screwed something up, or my efforts to subsequently clean the computer up did.ow I booted into safe mode once or twice, and was able to run 32 bit programs! But now I can't do that anymore: Both regular and safe-mode boots result in the same problem.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo far, iv tried fixing things with the Windows 7 install disk, and have run a ton of anti virus/malware/spyware stuff. They found nothing. I also cant restore to a earlier date. This all happened after some Oct 14th windows updates. From what I read, it does some stuff to your registry keys? Other than that, I have absolutly no idea. It wont even open x86 programs when its in a safe mode startup or during a clean boot. I also tried making a new user in case mine was curropted, but that didnt seem to do anything either. Would completly nuking my harddrive and reinstalling be my only option at this point?
I dont have a soundcard. I have a MA785GT-GT Gigabyte motherboard with onboard 7.1 surround. I tried to download the drivers for it, but I cant run that program either. I cant run anything thats not stricly a x64 program. Also, whenever I try to open a media file outside of a x64 program, I get a prompt that says Server Execution Failed. That only happens with media files
As a side note, If it is a registry foul-up that happened in the update, could registry reflection or redirection in the WOW6432node do anything? Registry keys are confusing to me, could someone tell me anything about this?
If worst comes to worst ,what is the best way to go about formating a harddrive? I'v never had to do it before. I have Hiren's boot CD and that has a pretty agressive nuking program.Would that be the best way to go about it?
I'm running win 7 ultimate 32 bit, all of a sudden I cant access certain programs, keep getting told I'm not the administrator, when clearly I am, even opening up firefox, I have to run it as administrator, tried various recovery programs.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOut of nowhere I received messages saying that multiple appdata local files were corrupt and then all programs became non-responsive or would start but became non-responding after a few seconds. I ran chkdsk and after some time it finished repairing the errors. However, now my system gave me 4 warnings saying that none of my security features were working. I use AVG Internet Security 2012. When I click on the AVG Icons or try and repair by clicking on the warnings, nothing happens.I have read that I should reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate to solve the problem. Sadly I did not partition my hard drive went I built the PC, and of course I do not want to lose any programs, files, etc. So what are my best options?
1. Back up my hard drive and bring everything back over once Windows in reinstalled?
2. Buy an SSD drive for one of my extra bays and install Windows 7 Ult there? Is this even an option since I already have Windows 7 Ult on my PC?
3. Is it possible to partition the drive and move Windows to this section? Then reinstall Windows without affecting other programs and files?

View 3 Replies View RelatedBought some pieces, assembled a new PC, installed Windows 7 Ultimate, then SP1, then several programs and everything seemed to be fine. But the next day, without changing anything, some programs won't start correctly, to be more precise: their processes seem to start (or at least they show up on Task Manager, but consuming only a few KB of ram and no CPU) but no program window appears whatsoever. Sometimes rebooting the PC will stop this from happening, but not always. Here I attach screenshots of CPU-Z and the customary files for debugging BSODs. Full system specs: [URL].

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo over the past few days it seems that I have lost control of my C drive and all of its contents.I can no longer properly access it, and everything opens in "Read-Only". I can no longer install programs or modify existing programs.According to the security permissions, I have none. Nor can I change my permissions because in order to change them I need access to the C drive, which I don't have.I have tried creating other users and putting them in the admin group, etc. but nothing is working.

I have Administrative rights to the computers only, and network access rights on our network. I keep a number of computers up to date, including various 3rd-party programs (i.e. java, flash, etc), and I currently manually remotely connect to each computer and install the updates to the programs from a network share, then run Windows update, select all the critical updates (as well as all the applicable optional updates), then disconnect and move on to the next one. Needless to say, time quickly adds up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe way I have things set up right now is I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit on my netbook and it's dualboot with Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (beta); what I want to do (and I'm not sure if this is even possible) is get my existing Windows 7 installation to work in VirtualBox inside Ubuntu.Basically what I want to do, is dualboot Windows 7 but also be able to run that same installation (with all programs and settings) in a virtual machine when in Ubuntu.Anyways, is this even possible? And if so, how do I do this?(currently I'm trying to figure it out myself but I haven't had any luck; although I have yet to try everything)And the point is to be able to still dualboot while at the same time being able to run the same installation in a VM if needed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought Windows 7 Ultimate which comes with the 32bit and 64bit dvd's. Right now I have the Windows 7 RC1 32bit installed but as we all know its gonna start acting up in March since it will start to expire.As the computer boots up with the dvd in the drive, all works fine until it starts asking for the dvd drivers. Yes, my drive is IDE. Not SATA. Do I really have to go buy a SATA cabled dvd drive to install windows 7? Second, is the fact that I have a 32 bit OS now, affecting the fact that it can't find the drivers? Is it because it's looking for 64 bit drivers when I have a 32 bit os now? I've already read up on this issue for the dvd drivers and it seems it was coming up alot even before the RTM versions and it seemed that redownloading an ISO was the solution aside from getting a SATA drive. But, I didn't download my copy. I have a real disc. I've already tried switching in the BIOS where my drive is set to RAID and moving it to IDE and then to the other option on there and no luck so far on getting it installed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavillion m9515y that I bought at a garage sale. This is a pretty meaty desktop (Quad processors, 8 GB of RAM) that was a little over a year old when I bought this past July. It had Vista freshly (re)installed on it when I bought it. Vista ran well enough, although it had its own issues, none of which were like these Hard-lock auto-reboots I keep getting. -original installed OS on the system? Vista, reinstalled from discs from the guy I bought it from
- an OEM or full retail version? 64-bit Ultimate that a friend who works in IT gave me.
- What is the age of system (hardware)? - 1.5-2 years old.
- What is the age of OS installation? About 1 month now, although I reinstalled it twice with other complications within one week before settling on the installation I have now.
I installed Windows 7 (with SP1 included) the first time in early Sept. and, after having done so, did an update of the drivers, most relevant were the network and display drivers. For some reason, after going into sleep mode the first time, it would not wake up. A hard reboot found that the wireless network card would not reconnect after doing this. Reading through some forums I found that others had a similar issue and had to reinstall, so I did. Also, I had installed overtop the preivious installation (which I thought I told it not to do), so reinstalling from scratch-scratch seemed like a good idea. I blew away partitions, recreated them, formatted and reinstalled, and after reinstalling most of the programs, I finally did the critical windows update, which, ironically, only crtically crippled the machine. Apparently it was related to the display driver (which later I corroborated - see below). Updating the NVidia GEForce SE driver to the latest 5-2011 driver caused it to simply hang at a black screen, never allowing a log on screen. I lived with this for several days--always rebooting into the last known good config--and decided to reinstall. (Mind you, I tried to do a Restore but it wouldn't let me for some reason, saying it may have something to do with an antivirus running, which I turned off and it still wouldn't do it.)So I reinstalled it a 3rd time about a month ago, resolving to do Windows Updates one at a time in order to 1) be able to roll it back just one update if it caused a problem and 2)discern which one/s were causing problems. Sure enough, the display driver recaused the black-screen login hang issue, so I rolled it back and chose not to reinstall it. As it is, I have the original 2009 driver. In a related issue, I believe the screen blacks out for several seconds on occasion due to this. I can live with that, but I can't live with the...
BSOD (Hard-lock auto-reboot), which happens every day or two. I have found it to lock up with some consistency when I'm browsing the internet (on mozilla or chrome) and then again sometimes when I'm listerning to music with media monkey. I just yesterday updated the sound card driver and it hasn't locked up while listening to music (yet). I'm at my wit's end. I do not want to reinstall again because I'm in graduate school for literature and don't have the time nor patience to deal with it (at least not during the quarter), which is why I've enlisted the help of the technical community. I used to work in IT back in the 90s and early 2000s, and got out of it precisely because I wasn't all that good at it. Of course, this knowledge has helped me somewhat in this process, at least knowing how to install, reinstall and update drivers, but I am need of the community.
