I am attempting to install "Screen Recorder" from MS. When I do I get this msg, stating that it (Screen Recorder) requires Windows Media Encoder 9 64 bit version (I am running Win 7 HP 64 bit), to work, and asks if I would like to install it first. So I select yes, then the install package for Windows Media Encoder 9 64 bit gives me a "Software Compatablity" warning stating that it is not recommended that I have both the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version installed on the same computer. My question is; how do I know if I have the 32 bit version installed, I can't seem to find it anywhere, and am not sure if I do. I don't remember installing it, and I can't find it in Control Panel, Program Features?
I'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.
So after testing a few useless screen capture softwares I downloaded microsoft expression encoder 4 screen capture. The problem is that it puts out massive screen capture video files. On a 15-20 sec screen capture it produces a 17.4MB file. And here is the confusing part when I choose a lower birate but same frame rate the video is choppy and unwatchable but I have to select 30000kbps opposed to like 500kbps for it to produce a smooth video. Does tweaking the frame rate/quality rate and also bitrate produce smaller file sizes or am do I have to find another screen capture software that captures a decent video quality with audio and average file size?
i am trying to run and install a nikon coolscan 8000 ed and i alredy use windows 7 64 bit but nikon have said it only runs on the 32 bit version how can i change it down to 32 bit
What are the actual installed sizes of the different 64 bit versions of 7? As I understand it, I should go with "Professional" because "Ultimate" uses several gb more and doesn't do anything important with it? What about "Home Premium"- is it smaller? The SSD is only 60gb (A Corsair Force GT)... Obviously 7 is going to inhabit a huge chunk of whatever I am left with after formatting.
know if I can use something to create a custom install of 7?? You know, like that one program that makes an XP CD with only the features you want??? That way I could have a far far smaller 7 install??How important are the Windows 7 SSD optimizations?? Like TRIM and all of that?? Is XP 64-bit usable at all?? I am told that finding drivers for it would be impossible and nothing would ever run right .... I have to have 64 bit OS to use the 16gb of ram..
Is it possible to convert a Matlab R11 (1999) student version that runs on a 32 bit Windows XP platform to run on a windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit platform?
I got a copy of Windows 7 32 bit yesterday and didn't realize it wasn't a 64 bit. took it home opened it, installed it.. damn. now what im wondering is if i download a windows 7 64 bit .ISO can i use my 32 bit registration key on the 64 bit version? please someone let me know.
I'm running Win 7 x64 with 32bit WMP12. I have FLAC showing with metadata and can play files locally. I have a Naim NDX Media Streamer and can not get FLAC to play through it via WMP - other files will. I understand that this may be connected to x64 not being compatible, so I have the x32 version running via a short cut to my desktop.WMP shows my streamer but when I try to play a file it just constantly looks for the streamer and never finds it. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
PS: It works perfectly well with JRiver / My River or n Stream via my ipad. That with FLAC or .wav etc. So it appears to be related directly to WMP.
I am using a Peak dual DVB-T tuner card with Windows Media Center 64bit. I receive my digital TV signal from an attic aerial. My problem is that I get corruption on video and audio while recording with WMC. The video corruption is hard to describe but looks like vertical streaks down the TV screen making programs impossible to watch. The corruption does not happen all the time, but usually starts after 30-40 minutes into a show. I have checked aerial connections etc and have recently reloaded windows 7, but with no improvement. I have no problems whatsoever while veiwing normal TV or internet TV etc on just the TV itself. I haven't filled in system specs in my profile as I have 3 different PC setups and wanted to try get some help asap, (this is my first post). The problem occurs on a HTPC with an Asus HD55M-pro motherboard, an Intel I3-530 processor, 4Gb ram and a Samsung F3 1TB with a partition for system and the rest of drive for storage. This is using Intel intregrated HD graphics on the CPU cabled to a Sony LCD TV via HDMI lead.
CAN'T FIND WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OR KNOW IF I EVER HAD IT IN WINDOW 7 HOME PREM 64 BIT. CAN'T FIND A DOWNLOAD FOR IT EVEN THOUGH MANY SIGHTS SAY IT'S FREE
I have Win 7/Pro 64 bit, i5 processor, 8 GB RAM.I purchased the 64 bit version of Microsoft Office (via download). Why does the Windows Update list updates to the 32 bit version of Office? Is there any reason to install (or not install) these updates?
I have a Dell INspiron 1525 laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on it. My windows media player will not work. Cannot play CD's or burn them. How do I fix this?
I recently reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC, and was getting everything set up again, when I ran into a bug that I can't believe is still present in Windows 7 after two years of it being a supposedly known issue.This bug pertains to WMP 12 64 bit.I fell victim to this bug back in 2010, but the problem is I don't remember how I fixed it.Here is an old thread wherein the first post, by Chappy, describes EXACTLY what happened to my system. Windows 7 Codec Pack (from Vista Codec Pack developer)Specifically, this is what I'm talking about...."NOTE - There seems to be a behaviour noted in Vista that possibly has carried over to Windows 7 as well. It's not a VCP related behaviour but it CAN affect if some files play or not.Vista (and Windows 7) come with both a 32 & 64bit version of WMP and it was found in Vista that if you associated a certain file type with WMP while the 64bit player was set to the default, that file association could NOT be changed even if WMP was set to use the 32bit player as default afterwards. This causes certain file types to be Unplayable due to 64bit WMP's limitations (well actually it's CODEC limitations). There are no functional differences between 32 or 64bit WMP but because of "lazy" CODEC developers, many CODECS are not 64bit compatible...yet.
Because of this, most of us set the 32bit WMP as default before making any file association changes for WMP. This way the 32bit WMP will play all file types with no issues using VCP. Unfortunately, if you have opened a media file in Windows 7 and checked the "associate this file type to WMP" option while the 64bit player is default (which it is out of the box), then that file type may not play even though you change to 32bit player using the VCP x64 tools.Another thing I think I've found is that .FLV (Flash Video) files will not play in WMP no matter which version is default. They do play in WMC, and I'm going to check with Shark007 later about .flv support, so I'll post any results later."I tried opening a media file in Windows 7, and accidentally associated a file (or all media files) to WMP while 64 bit player was default (since it was a fresh install of Windows).
I can confirm my video card and sound card (Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium) both work correctly. They've worked perfectly since I installed Win 7. I've double checked, and can confim my speakers are plugged in correctly.A few days ago, this problem began when I called Microsoft Support, to get help with getting Windows Media Center to stream to my XBox. As part of that trouble shooting, they had me go into Windows Media Player.This was the first time I opened Windows Media Player since reinstalling Windows.The very first screen I saw said that WMP 12 needed to be set up for the first use....and it prompted me to go with the default setup or to set it up with my own preferences.I chose default setup (it's been two years since this happened last time, and I'd forgotten about the bug).From that point that I selected default setup, iTunes stopped working. If I play a song (any song) in my iTunes catalog, the song just stays stuck at 00:00 and nothing happens.If I try playing a song in WMP, it shows that it's playing, but there's no sound.Meanwhile, if I go to Control Panel and click "Sound" I can see the equalizer showing that sound IS happening....but I hear nothing...whether we're talking system sounds, iTunes songs, Internet video etc.I've checked my file associations for WMP 12, and EVERYTHING is checked and I can change nothing as they're all checked and greyed out.
So I installed a beta version of W7 Ultimate and it's displaying a watermark that says "this is not a legit version". I never had a legitimate product key.I want to purchase a real version and upgrade appropriately.Can I purchase an Upgrade license to Windows 7 Ultimate or do I have to purchase a Full version?Also, what if I wanted to install Windows 7 Home Edition instead of the Ultimate version. If I did this, I assume I would have to install the Full version correct?
I am running Windows 7 on my computer and have downloaded overdrive and the updates. When I try to download an audio book to my computer, It still gives me this error message: The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running. Check your computer system information to see whether you need x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publishe
I'm trying to install some applications on a Lenovo ideapad with windows 7 home premium, 64-bit, SP1. I'm getting the following error - "The version of this file is not compatible with the the version of windows you're running." I've installed all of these specific applications (e.g. RealPlayer, Logmein, Windows 2007 Compatibility Pck File Format Converter) and many other 32-bit apps on other Windows 7 64-bit machines, including 2 other Lenovo laptops with the exact same specs, purchased at the same time, with absolutely no issue.

When attempting to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 the upgrade attempt may fail with the message “This version of Windows could not be installed, Your previous version of Windows has been restored, and you can continue to use it." However, the next reboot of the machine will launch the upgrade process again only to fail with the same message.
So I bought what I thought what the full version of Windows 7 Pro online for the student discount for $65. I got it all installed and the activation key wouldn't work.Long story short I got the upgrade version on accident. So I got that refunded and I'm about to just go buy Home Premium. I need to install it. Do I need to uninstall Pro before I install Home Premium? Or will it just get rid of it for me when I install it?
I am buying a new PC in Spain but want Windows 7 Home Premium in English, which does not seem to be available anywhere here. So my techie guy is downloading an English version (pirate???) and at same time buying a genuine Spanish version. He says he will then use the key code from the Spanish pack to validate the English version.
Is this possible, and could I encounter any problems later? How can I be 100% sure (before I leave the shop!) that I have a validated, genuine English version of Windows 7 that will continue to work indefinitely?
I need to know if I can use a clean install disk for Windows 7 Ultimate to upgrade from Vista or if I have to use an Upgrade version?
I'm leaning towards buying the clean install disk so that if I should loose the hard drive at some future point I could just clean install Win 7 Ultimate from the disk without having to first install Vista and then upgrade.
Regardless of which type I purchase, am I better off to buy the OEM disk from the machine manufacturer (Toshiba) or just purchase any OEM disk? Of course, if I want Microsoft support then I need to purchase retail disks.
I have bought a upgrade version win 7 ulimate 32 bit, but i want to install a 64 bit one. So can i download a full version 64 bit, and use the license key of upgrade version? Will WAG block it?
I have upgrade my computer (E6750 to i5 750, 3G DDR2 to 4G DDR3) and I am thinking about upgrading to 7 64bit. Currently I have a dual boot system with XP Home 32 and Vista Home Premium 32. I want to upgrade the Vista to Window 7 64 and leave the XP there.
I am wondering can I but the upgrade version for the job?
