Disc of Windows 7 64-bit is the 32-bit installation. Help?

I bought windows 7 the other day and it came with CD 32-bit and 64-bit.  I jumped in the 64-bit CD to install on my computer brand new brand with all new components, because I built it myself.  I do not think that to make sure that she had installed 64-bit because who would have thought that the CD would install 32-bit. So I played minecraft last night and my client has crashed, citing that he was short of allocated memory, which given I have 8 GB of it, which should not happen.  In any case, I checked my computer > properties to make sure that all the RAM showed upward, and I realized that the 32-bit installed CD and so was only 3.4 GB of RAM let me use. I don't have any errors during installation, and I tried to re - install windows several times. Nothing has worked. Any help to understand this would be great. I searched on google for something similar to what happened with me and nothing came.

My computer specs:
Intel i5 - 3570 k
Motherboard ASUS P8Z77 - V LK
GPU MSI GTX 660
2 x 4 GB G-Skill Sniper 1866 memory
XFX 650W psu
TL; Dr: Windows 7 64-bit CD installs the 32-bit version, reinstalling does not fix what can I do?

  • Satellite L505 - it come with disc of Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?

    I had a computer Satellite L505 with * preinstalled * version Windows 7 64-bit and a 32-bit product recovery disc. I didn't create a backup of a 64-bit version and reinstalled the system since the provided 32-bit recovery disc erase my HD. However, I would like to reinstall the verision of 64-bit Windows 7. I know I can order a backup media on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it says not version (64-bit or 32-bit) wich are mailed directly to me.

    If I check the description of the model on the Toshiba page, it says that it comes with the 64-bit version and includes the 32-bit recovery disc. This description still leaves me a question what backup media I'd get Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 until I have order a.

    I'd appreciate a confimation. Thank you!

    Hey Buddy,

    I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba site says it all: the laptop comes with the 64-bit Windows 7 version, which means that this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional, you get a version 32-bit on a recovery disc and that s all!

    So you didn't burn the 64-bit recovery disc, which means you must order a new one from Toshiba. I guess you will get versions then 32-bit and 64-bit.

  • Satellite L - cannot boot from disc of Windows 7 32 bit

    When trying to install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 from the cd/dvd that came with my computer noting happens.
    I inserted the cd and restart the computer, but the installation does not start.

    The computer is running windows 7 64 bit I want to change to 32 bit

    Hello

    You can boot from another drive? Maybe that Windows 7 is noisy and so it can t be read correctly.
    Check this box!

    If you want to downgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit you do a fresh install. This means that you need to clean your current Windows partition so backup all files first!

  • How to change the default Windows 7 64-bit installation directory?

    Just installed Windows 7 64 bit home edition, can't seem to change the default installation with regedit successfully directory. Is no problem in XP. I have the windows installed on a small SSD with a second hard drive to use for progams for example F:/Program Files.

    Anyone done this successfully?

    Thank you very much

    Steve.

    The 64-bit version has two versions of regedit. Make this change as well:

    1.) go into start > run: %systemroot%\syswow64\regedit
    2.) pass: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion
    3.) change the path in DWORDs ProgramFilesDir, ProgramFilesDir (x 86) the new path, probably just change the drive letter.

  • Break the BI publisher on Windows 2008 64-bit installation

    I need sense of simple installation on BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3 on Windows 2008 64 bit server to Oracle database 11g and Apex 4.0. The more I read the installation, I'm confused.

    BI Publisher implementation is another story, but I think that the instructions for setting the version 4.0 of the APEX is identical to the version 3.x...

  • Windows 7 64-bit installation

    I have Windows 7 32 bit installed. I would like to install the 64-bit version. Initially, I bought the operating system and downloaded the installation files. When I run the installation file and choose the custom installation, it doesn't have an option for 64-bit. Is my installation for 32 bit OS file? How can I fix?

    You will need to download Windows 7 64 bit separately, burn it to a blank DVD and then install it.

    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.

    If you bought Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store:

    Go to the Microsoft Store website, sign in with your bank account, select Download Options and select Windows 7 64 bit and proceed to download.

    Please note, this is a clean install, all programs, device drivers must be reinstalled, and you must ensure that you have your drivers 64 bit versions.

  • Windows 7 64-bit installs and restarts. Then installs and re...

    I have Windows 7 32 bit as my operating system present. I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit (paid for a new code) on a separate formatted a hard drive in order to have the option of dual-boot. I changed the first boot device to my optical drive and start the computer from the installation disc. He jump the hoops with questions about installation (English language, etc.) The final step when he says that the installation is complete, it's the re-start. That's when the trouble starts; rather than show the new 64 bit OS it repeat the installation process by asking my preferred language and move to the stage of the installation, once again! He continues to do over and over again until I stopped him. I should mention that I have 5 drives running in my PC. Drive C is the primary boot device that has the 32 bit OS. I try to install the 64-bit in a freshly formatted 2 GB hard drive. Installation will show me all 5 hard drives when I am asked for a location to install the 64 bit OS. The format is one of these choices it trying to install to. I checked that my processor is capable of 64-bit. Any ideas? Thank you.

    After restarting, try to remove the disc and the start of the boot drive and see if it displays a boot manager that starts in the next phase of the Setup program.

  • Windows registry is linked to the .dll files? HELP several BSoD and browse... crashed during post! for the love of God

    Must be quick, title says it all
    Windows registry is responsible for the .dll files?
    SFC shows SEVERAL DLLs not missing, no installation CD.
    Not good recovery CD.
    I have the copy of the registry before changes but online before browser support multiple and many BSOD.
    Will post now as browser crashed early in post and the 5 th time in half an hour.

    Thanks for the reply Elizabeth23, but I finally found the part of the SFC.

    SFC showed 167 system missing files - if you continue to press Cancel > continue every time SFC tells you to put in your Windows installation CD eveeentually happen to you at the end of his race - and I ran 3 times and each time got 167.
    Now I had some of the 'missing' located in System32 .dll files, but some were also in i386 and the drivercache but I had not located a bit; but I knew that something is not right I had found some system 'missing' files and after that a few hunting came across a site that said to check the registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
    CurrentVersion\Setup

    and under SourcePath my entry is a file that does not exist 'Temp' so I changed the entry to C:\WINDOWS rebooted and ran SFC/scannow and it scanned without stopping.
    Weird as the registry key was in a file that is no Temp because I ran many SFC
    times in the last 2 months and it always scanned all the files in the operating system without a hitch...

    My computer is still BSoDing out, had two after SFC took place without a hitch.

  • Office Jet Pro L7580, Windows 7 64-bit Installer

    I have a Dell Studio Desktop, which I updated to Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Now, I'm trying to reinstall the drivers for my Office Jet Pro L7580. The Office Jet and the Dell Studio are on a cable network.

    I tried to use the HP printer install Windows Wizard, but whenever I use it, I get the message "the wizard has detected a problem with the software driver for the selected printer. If I continue I then I get a message "the system cannot find the file specified" or a message indicating that an error has been detected and the system must be closed. Once, I don't have the progress bar, but it did not move past the first step.

    Before performing the installation, I disabled the TSRs terminate and stay, erased from records and trust temporary and disabled my McaFee firewall. Just as it had all but recommended no advantage.

    I also tried to use the utilities to remove the driver, two of them, but this made no difference either.  The documentation says that the driver removal utilities will run at 4 levels. I do not know how, because it doesn't seem to be an exe file. However, when I run the batch file "Uninstall" Windows, it seems to work at level 2 and ask as I restart the system. Deleting driver utilitiesboth I raced my attached printer and not connected to the network.

    I guess the message "The wizard has detected a problem with the driver software" must disappear before I can get a positive result. I guess also that this message is displayed because there is some residual remaining Windows 7 32-bit software that utilities to uninstall Windows not delete because they are not executed correctly.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Having investigated a bit more, there are a couple of logs who recommend using Revo and CCleaner to remove songs flying over a previous installation. I've loaded and executed these two and Revo has found a large number of entries that I deleted.

    I then ran the wizard again and after a lapse of acertain time and a recommendation to turn my anti virus software I know succeeded. I will think long and hard before repeating this procedure.

    That's why we're always checking the availability of compatible devices
