For 4GB RAM Install 7 - 64-bits Or Keep 32-bits?
Nov 14, 2009It started when I decided I wanted to put a total of 4GB of RAM in my computer. The problem is that I have Windows XP x86 (32-bits) installed.
Then, a few friends of mine adviced me to get rid of this old Windows XP (32-bits), get the total of 4GB of RAM and install Windows 7 x64.
My CPU's architecture supports x64 systems, as I have 4 cores. My main problem, is that I would have to reinstall all my programs, applications and drivers (because I have the 32-bits-versions installed) and that if I stay with my 32-bits-XP system, it would only read 3 to 3.5GB of RAM aprox.
64-bits - Cant Install Vista
Sep 13, 2008I've recently ran into an opportunity to install 64-bit windows XP. I can't really get Vista at the moment, so I'm considering this. Google has been vague on it, and most of the articles that I've read say that it's a bad idea. Granted they were published in 2005.

Jan 19, 2006Just wondering. When I set BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service to automatic & started using services.msc, after a while, maybe days later, it goes back to manual & stopped. When I look at http://www.theeldergeek.com/background_intelligent_transfer_service.htm it seems to suggest that I could set it either way. Since I never seem to get windows update automatically, although I do get them manually, I just wanted to try this setting to see if it would work for me. . Running win xp pro, sp2, dell dimension 2350, 1 GB mem, 2.0 GHz, cable modem. Usually run daily auto scans with MSAB & AVG7. Also have AdawareSE, Spybot, Spyware Blaster.

Dec 2, 2006I have been having problems with .msi and other Windows Installer files. The first problem was based BITS not being enabled in the services.msc - and thus it was fixed. Some msi files, such as Apple iTunes updates and the simple usage of Windows Defender, are hindred unless I manually open services.msc via Run, then start Windows Installer Service; which has been set to start with the startup, and to do so automatically.I don't know why it's failing to start, but it is.

Standard Abbreviation For Bits And Bytes?
Sep 30, 2005Since there are 8 bits to a byte there can be a major misunderstanding with abbreviations. Are there standard abbreviations for bits and bytes? I always assumed bits was small b and bytes was capital B. Is this true? 100 MB - mega bytes. 100 mb - mega bits.Is a 56k modem 56k bytes or bits per second?Can I assume everything is bytes unless bits is specifically stated?

View 5 Replies View RelatedLight Blue Bits Dispersed
Jan 24, 2005When I get to the Log On screen, two of the user pictures have some small light blue bits joined to their right. When the mouse moves over them, they get smaller, and when it is off, they go back to their original size. After logging in, this problem is continued on the desktop, where it does it around a medium sized white box in my background. It happens in any program opened up, around the top, and around the Start menu bar. After a while, Internet Explorer stops doing it, apart from on certain pages, the same each time. However, when Internet Explorer has got over the problem, any programs opened up in front of it do not have the problem, until you close or minimize Internet Explorer. It does not happen to the three other users which, on the Log On screen do not have blue bits on. The lighter bits of an image tend to get light blue bits dispersed in. Is there anything I can do? The problem started around two days ago, without any seeming action to start it.MS Paint does not stop showing blueness even with Internet Explorer open, until size of window is changed to the actual size of the canvas minus about 20 px.

Oct 14, 2009I appear to have a problem with an update for windows XP. I belive my computer has been trying to update this file for some time but it is only now, when I have tried to install a new anti virus (Bit defender 2010), that it has become a real problem. Having said that it has also prevented me getting service pack 3 and explorer 7.
When using windows update I am told that the following has failed to install, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773). It would appear that the file has downloaded but not installed. I have followed all the microsoft suggestions, one of which resulted in my having to repair windows. I have also googled this problem and found many references to the same update but no one appears to have a solution.
