View 8 Replies View RelatedI just had a new system built last week and loaded XP x64 as my operating system. I am seeing a huge decrease in my framerate while gaming and was told on another forum that XP x64 is probably the culprit. I thought that going 64 bit would be an improvement over 32

View 5 Replies View Relatedwe built our new gaming rig and would like to install WinXP Pro on it. I have seen at the Newegg site that there is a $40.- difference between WinXP Pro and the 64bit version. With this configuration, do you think that it's better to go with WinXP Pro 64 bit?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhile I have found many solutions to this problem, these solutions don't work for the 64bit platform. All of my programfiles/microsoftoutlook/.... files have been corrupted, so i need to completely reinstall outlook, what i have tried so far is this:1)remove the isInstalled from the registry and reinstall windows explorer
Result:I can't find a version of Windows Explorer I can install on my computer because the installs always say that you cant install on a 64 bit platform
2 booted off xp cd, did repair Result: didnt help My Network Places now also doesnt work, but I believe thats because they share a common DLL in programfiles/microsoftoutlook/If i new someone else that was running XP64 I would manually get the files off them but I dont,

I bought my wife an HP desktop and ordered it with Vista 64bit OS. We ran into some issue that led to us buying a new printer and it does not run some video games we like to play. We just tolerated it for a while but she hates it so I was thinking about buying a copy of XP and loading it up on her system. Are there any issues with doing this or should it just work? I expect I will have to download some drivers for 32bit but that should be easy enough
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an nLited XP 64bit CD. I don't have any other CDs to copy over to, but I have a 4GB USB flash drive. I am having a hard time finding stores that either sell floppy drives or external floppy drives. But I need one in order to install my RAID drivers so that my SATA drive can be detected for installing XP on. I have the following setup (Stuff you need to know):Asus Vintage AH-1 barebones motherboard (AMD Socket 939)SATA 80GB harddrive (on RAID using the ULi utility)IDE 80GB harddrive, set to cable select, because this is technically my backup slave driver (too slow to run software from) (Yes, this system is outdated, but I need to make due with what I have until I can build myself the system I want) I need to be able to install my RAID drivers so that I can have my SATA drive detected. I have ideas, but I'm not one to be able to do things about them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo i'm upgrading my dad's computer right.For some reason I thought he had 2x1gb modules in it already and he was complaining about it being slow. I know its full of spyware and what not, so I went and bought another 2gb kit and brought win xp 64 w/ me.I go and and wipeout the machine, install xp 64 and boot it up. I then realize that this machine only had 512MB in it. I open it up (yah I know should have checked first) and see that his MB only has 2 slots in it. So I end up pulling out the 512 dimm and installing the 2 1gb modules.My question is now, is should I leave him be... or is it actually better for him to run win xp 32 bit edition seeing as we only have 2GB ram.His cpu btw is a pentium D dual core 2.66 GHz, which is 64 bit processor.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just tried to install XP Pro x64 on my Dell XPS 720 PC. After it loads all the drivers, it crashes with a blue screen, giving me an error message. I tried to reset my BIOS to factory defaults, which screwed it up entirely and now I have to reinstall my original operating system (same, just 32bit) too, though I worried because the setup doesn't seem to recognise the entire size of my hard drive, or the other partitions. It gave me a BAD PBR as I tried to boot normally.I had my hard drive partitioned with Norton Partition Magic, maybe this caused it? Please can you advise how to fix this!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if anyone knows of where I can find drivers for a HP
2550n laser printer. After looking at the HP website, and talking to a "Tech

would like to know if there is a way to possibly run x64 in a 32 bit mode so
that i can use the software that was sent with this printer.
I just finished rebuilding my PC and Installed Windows Xp 64 edition since I already had it sitting on my desk. Figured I might as well to compliment the new 64bit CPU. Anyways, everything is running great except for a few 3rd party programs I like to used with a few games. I want to install regular XP Pro but have my HD as one single 80gig partition. My question is, Is it possible to have 2 selectable bootable OS's on the same partition? If so, how and if not, Is there a way to downgrade from 64bit of windows to standard 32 without formating the drive? Worst comes to worst, I could reformat and reinstall everything all over again but I would rather avoid that if possible.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to install a new version of XP on my computer mainly because I can't handle 64 bit and it's refusal to be compatible with my wireless card. First of all, I do not have a registered version of the 64 bit due to no internet connection which didn't allow me to register my copy and in turn locking my computer unil I do so. My friend gve me a copy of XP pro SP3 and I want to install it, but I have a few issues. How do I delete the old OS? How do I install the new one? I have been having some problems with opening the bios and what not, I am using ASUS P5N73-AM mobo. I really need help with this, because it is limiting my use of the computer, a brand new computer which I have not been able to consistently use since the time I bought it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI went out of town for 2 weeks, came home and my pc is acting really strange. I've been getting tons of pop-ups, to the point my computer freezes and i must restart. Not only that but it randomly reboots itself even when not being used. Also, when i go to delete files now, the file does NOT go into the recycle bin. I looked at the settings and there is no check mark next to the "do not move files into recycle bin". My BF said he had been downloading things so I figured maybe its a virus or something. I ran Nortons... nothing. Ran AVG... nothing. A friend told me it sounded like spyware so he told me to run Adaware & Spybot. Did that, found a ton of stuff. But when i retarted the pc, it wanted to start in "safe mode". I noticed that most of these pop ups are (search miracle ??) Found info that its a trojan, but i dont know. . I dont know what to do, totally computer illiterate.

I am at a total loss of how to do this.
