    Yes, you can install Windows 7 64-bit.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Can you put mosaic windows from Javascript in CS3?

    I have a javascript that opens 2 images in Photoshop in different directories, based on a unique file name, so that users can view them side by side. They need this to be able to compare the color correction of a process automated against the original image.

    The problem is that even if I can open the pictures, I can't invoke the "window/arrange/tile vertically' menu item, I can with InDesign.

    Does anyone know a trick to work around the tile missing command vertically in Javascript for Photoshop CS3.

    (I searched the web and found that most of the responses are for windows 4 or more, where the images are pasted into a doc.) "But here, I need to keep the separate windows).

    One way to do this in CS3 is an action. A new action, and then stop recording. There should be no steps in the action. Choose the Insert menu in the Panel popup menu action. Then choose the "window/arrange/tile vertically' menu item. You now have an action that you can call from a scipt to place the two images.

    Another way is to use the doMenuItem Xbytor

    // adatped from Xbytor's xtools stdlib.jx
    doMenuItem = function(item, interactive) {
       var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Mn  "), charIDToTypeID("MnIt"), item);
       var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
       desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
       try {
         var mode = (interactive != true ? DialogModes.NO : DialogModes.ALL);
         executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), desc, mode);
       } catch (e) {
         if (!e.message.match("User cancelled")) {
           throw e;
         } else {
           return false;
         }
       }
       return true;
    };
    doMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('tileVertically'));
    

    Note more recent version of Photoshop have a method of application named runMenuItem that can be used instead of a custom function.

  • How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

    Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

    I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

    This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

    "From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

    Also, if it was the wrong forum (or website) to post on for this kind of question, I'd appreciate a recommendation of a more appropriate forum.
