  • Determine dynamically computer CVI of 32 bit vs 64

    Is there some API, CVI (LabWindows), that I can use to determine the architecture, 32 vs 64-bit machine on my application is running?

    The reason is that I have a call to open a file under 'Program Files' but if it's a 64-bit computer, I need to make the call to "Program Files (x 86)".

    Or possible some macro that will point to the currently installed folder of my application?

    Thank you

    While I can't answer the exact question easily. I can give you some useful indications:

    • See this question on the location of the "special folders" and how to use the windows API
    • Here is the info from the API.
    • See "remarks" here about 80% of the way to the bottom of the page. You may be able to ask a special folder and still get the right one, eliminates the need to settle the question of 64 bit 32 vs.

    All that being said that I don't have the answer to the determination of 32 vs 64-bit!

    I hope this helps a little.

  • where to find windows vista 32 bit OEM Toshiba Portege laptop

    I need the OEM version of windows Vista 32 bit for Toshiba Portege M750 - 10G.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    With a Toshiba, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the ro process of factory of the recovery Partition recovery.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    Hello

    ask whenever you bought windows 7 32-bit on a credit

    64-bit to 32-bit or 32-bit to 64-bit is not a upgrade path

    It depends on if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has windows 7 drivers available for him as to if it will work properly

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

    I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

    To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

    Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Need printer driver HP laserjet 2100 for a Windows 7-64 bits of the operating system on your laptop Lenovo x 230.

    No device driver is available on the HP site.  I have another Lenovo x220i running windows 7 (64-bit) that has loaded a driver laserjet 2100 and fine prints to this old workhorse printer.  I called HP and they are confused.

    Hoping to finally put an end to this old question:

    1. don't get no drivers download driver at random sites.  You don't know what you really get and can end up with malware.

    2. many older HP printers, you can use the 'universal' HP driver (LIST OF PRINTERS supported), but I predict that you won't like it - if you can actually get to install.  Personally, I only use the universal driver HP as an absolute last resort.  See the Feature Guide and universal print driver Solution

    Download HP UPD--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/solutions/business-solutions/printingsolutions/UPD.html?jumpid=af_s73wr2vct6

    3. if HP indicates that you can use the driver supplied with Windows 7, and then follow the advice of happyraver98 and use the "Windows Update" button in the appropriate window in the "Add printer" Wizard

    4. If like happyraver98 you rather not wait long enough time that takes to Windows Update to download print drivers additional, use Internet Explorer (only) and pass to the catalog Microsoft Update to find and download your driver: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=hp%20laserjet%202100

    Important: there are probably 2 or 3 entries that seem to be the same; You must open and determine the 'architecture' for which the driver is intended.

    X 86 = 32 bits

    Amd64 = 64 bit

    IA64 = Intel Itanium 64-bit (not very common; for example, used for the XP Pro x 64 edition)

    The drivers downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog is not as easy to install the drivers from the manufacturer of the printer (HP), is through the Add Printer Wizard.  As a general rule, you will download a *. CAB file.  You then extract the files inside of the *. CAB file using something like 7-zip or WinRAR.  Then run the Add Printer Wizard, click on the 'Disk' button, navigate to the folder where you extracted the contents of the *. CAB file and select the *.inf file.

  • Windows 7 64-bit mouse pauses/freezes/stutters often accompanied by an event sound Windows

    Symptoms:

    Erratic mouse behavior. Mouse hanging, the gel for a full second or more, accompanied by a Windows event sound, generally. Sometimes, there is just a slight pause and no noise Windows event. Sometimes the mouse acceleration changes after freezing. Sometimes, more rarely, my mouse will be dropped by the operating system... the laser light on the underside turns off and I have to unplug the mouse and plug it in again so he can be recognized.

    What happens almost all the time. I want to use Windows mainly to play a game, World War II online: Battleground Europe. It is a shooting mmo first-person. This problem is annoying enough on the desktop. Unsuable for FPS games. I plan to have to file using Windows 7 64 bit for now.

    I have this problem as soon as Windows 7 64-bit.

    The problem with Windows 7 64 bit after trying many many solutions/solutions offered on the Internet.

    I did not need to determine what event could be linked to it in the event Log Viewer, or if it is even an event that is be connected here.

    NOTE: My mouse (G3) Logitech MX518 Gaming tips works fine, without any problems whatsoever, under Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit with all latest updates or on Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid Lynx) 64-bit. I never had no problem with this mouse at any time under these operating systems. These operating systems will run an intensive game if I want to, throughout the day.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Steps in my last attempt to solve the problem.

    I was looking not all parameters of the BIOS at once at the beginning. For example, I have disabled "Intel Speedstep" to see if that would solve the question. Then restarted in BIOS and disabled the C1E function when I discovered that disabling Speedstep alone does not resolve the issue. ECT, ect...

    I have not installed Norton Internet Security 2010 for awhile while I tried various solutions of Workaround available and listed below in case this is the question. No difference, so NIS 2010 is now installed.

    Remember, that this behavior occurs that when Windows 7 64 bit is installed properly.

    (1) clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, for the third time now

    (2) installed the Runtime Visual C++ 2008 64 bit v9.0.30729.4148 than kb973552/KB969706 downloaded from--> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2051a0c1-c9b5-4b0a-a8f5-770a549fd78c

    (a) just in case Rebooted and then install the same version of the Visual C++ 2008 for 32-bit environment Runtime in Windows 7 64 bit

    (3) installed Windows 7 64 - bit drivers

    (a) Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet on-board NIC Driver v11.24.5.3 (15/02/2010)

    (b) various software of Creative Labs creative Labs X - Fi Titanium 64-bit driver v2.17.0007 and all updates for them.

    (c) Software Driver of Intel Chipset v9.1.1.1025 (22/12/2009). Seems to just install an update from the hard disk of 64-bit driver.

    (d) ATI Catalyst 10.3 Driver

    (4) installed Windows updates

    NOTE: I have not installed the latest four updates for now, three of them are security updates have a publication Date: 09/02/2010. I decided to not install these due to a mistake of "Circular kernel context logger" that I already saw in the viewer of the event log, recorded by "Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing" event ID: 2 now, I'm not having this issue.

    NOTE: I also installed a driver in option, the ACPI ATK110 driver, which installs the following file--> C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ASACPI.sys - he has listed as the version of the file 1043.2.15.37 and dated 29/03/2005. In a previous installation of Windows 7 64 bit, I downloaded an update of the present of Asus contained in a file/AMDCoolnQuiet_Utility_V21801_XPVistaWin7.zip utility and installed. I started the utility and he gave me the message that my system was not supported by "Asus Cool ' n Quiet. It's ASACPI.sys file was dated some time in 2009, rather than in 2005. Since my last Windows 7 install, I have currently a bit the 2005 version proposed by Windows Update installed. I don't know if this file is to load or used by Windows 7 64 bit. But I wonder...

    Is this a problem?

    (5) installed software v6.00.68 Logitech Setpoint (Version 4.90.80 driver) for Windows 7 64-bit

    NOTE: I have not installed this in previous installations of 64-bit Windows 7 and had hoped that this would cure the problem. No change, the problem still persists.

    (6) went into the BIOS and reset to the default settings

    (7) BIOS: Set A.I. OC (overlcock) to "Manual" and left to deafult values so that the CPU isn't overclocked automatically or manually sort

    (8) BIOS: Establish timimgs settings memory, memory voltage and the voltage Northbridge, according to my memory (memory Mushkin) manufacturer's recommendations

    NOTE: Again, I didn't have never had any problem at all in Windows XP Pro 32 bit SP3 or Ubuntu 10.4 64 bit with these settings. These operating systems will run an intensive game if I want to, throughout the day.

    (9) BIOS: The value of Intel Speedstep "Disabled".

    (10) BIOS: C1E (Enhanced Halt State) value to "disabled".

    (11) BIOS: Set the Mode of the ACPI Power / Suspend 'S3' only '

    (12) BIOS: Set ACPI 2.0 Support to 'Active '.

    NOTE: On, off, on any settings/functions above not has not solved the problem. I have I have not tried all the single 'combination', but in any case, make no change with the mouse.

    (13) in Windows 7, I selected the Option to 'High Performance' and the value "USB selective suspend setting" to "Disabled" with updated BIOS options as shown in steps 9 to 12 above

    NOTE: With BIOS defined that way there is no setting "Processor Power Management" in the Options of food, other than the 'political cooling system' (active/passive).

    I left this game to 'Active '.

    Is this a problem?

    (14) tried monitoring DPC latency with the download link for the "DPC latency Checker" utility No visible ears in the utility during the mouse freezes / breaks

    Hello again,

    Can I have found the solution that worked for me. It is probably too early to tell, I'll need more time to be sure. But in case he solved the problem for me, I'll post what seems to have worked as suggested on a post, I came across from another forum. Consider a guy who tried many suggestions, maybe that's the answer. Heck, I had tried a few other things that I have said in my original post. But in any case, so far, my system and mouse seem to work very well on the desktop for the last hour and a half. I have not tried yet game.

    (1) uninstall the Windows Update KB977074 (January 2010 stability and reliability update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2).

    (2) reboot and leave your system for a couple / few minutes after the restart.

    (3) just in case... Restart again, and then reinstall the KB977074.

    (4) restart to complete the installation.
