• My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. Can I install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

  My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. I have a scanner that connects to the pc via a scsi card, the card I have will not work under a 32-bit version. I could buy a 64 bit version of the map, but it is an expensive exercise, I can install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

  Hi Paul,.

  No, you can not install the 32-bit version of Windows to the sides of the 64-bit version. However, you can have a configuration dual boot (32-bit on a partition and 64-bit on another). In this case you will need two licenses, a license being dedicated to a facility only.

• How to download and install the 64-bit trial applications?

  Hi all

  I am trying to download and install applications from the trial Adobe (Photoshop CS6, CS6 Dreamweaver and CfBuilder) on a Windows 7 64 bit.

  When I chose the file to download, he showed me a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the application, so I thought he was even Installer for both...

  But now at the start of the installation, it shows me that it will install in the x 86 folder.

  Is this ok? 64-bit application installed in the x 86 folder...

  Or do I have to re - download the installer? And how can I download the 64 bit version?

  And if the Setup is the same, how can I force to install the 64 bit version of the application?

  Something that could be linked to this problem: I have a very old Adobe account and before I used a 32-bit workstation... perhaps that the Setup is so stupid that he 'remembered' it?

  I thank in advance for any suggestion

  Good bye

  There are a lot of speaking 64-bit version of Adobe applications... about all the people on the net?

  Anyway, if DW is still only 32 bit... that close the discussion

  Thanks a lot for your support!

  Windows XP - as well as all kinds of extras (office suites, image/photo editing studios of top design, apps movie/music, applications, etc.) will be between 4.5 GB and 25 GB of hard drive of diving.  Normal House Windows XP system will likely fall in the lower part of the beach.

  The size of a hard drive don't you have (total), and how much is free?  Your hard drive is partitioned into several parts?  If so - what is the partition 'C '?
   
  Since it's XP... Here is a good set of things you could do to your system...

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)
   
  Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Delete everything is found.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.
   
  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
   
  Learned things that start when you turn on the computer and what you really need? Cut of those that you don't need? Seen what is really using the resources on your computer? Now that you have narrowed down to what is running at any given time...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  CCleaner (free!)

  JDiskReport

  Those who can help you discover visually where all space is used. Then, you can determine what to do.
   
  -Then you'll need to check for physical errors and fix everything for efficient access:

  CHKDSK
  How to scan your disks for errors* will take time and a reboot.

  Defragment

  Now that you have free space and organized things on that drive...

  Can get new drivers for your card motherboard chipset, the video/graphics device and device network (among others).  Just to complete things.

• How will I know whether to install any program in the 64-bit or 32-bit section in Vista?

  original title: where to install?

  How can I know weather to install any program in the 64-bit or 32-bit section?

  Hello DaphneanEpiphany,

  The application that you are installing will sort it out for you. Unless the software is told explicitly 64-bit in the box, you can be assured that the software will be 32-bit.

  If you are running a copy of Windows Vista (or 7) 64-bit operating system will install the software in the right folder so I don't worry about this.

• How will I know if it's a 32-bit or a 64-bit browser?

  While trying to install Java Runtime Environment Plugin, I was asked this:

  Should what download I choose?

  Choose the 32-bit download to use with a 32-bit browser.
  Choose the 64-bit download to use with a 64-bit browser.
  If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers, you need to download Java 32 - bit and 64 - bit.

  So, how can I know if it's a 32-bit or a 64-bit browser?

  Still, versions of Firefox from mozilla.org , including the current 37.0.2 is Win32.

  So you need 32-bit Plugins for firefox Win32.

  The 38.0 Firefox may be the first version to be built with Win32 Win64.

  The WOW64 in your Firefox useragent is a Win32 on Windows 64-bit application.

• How Firefox knows what tabs/windows you had open when click you on "restore session"? If it is a temporary file or something, where it is preserved?

  My computer crashed and will not back to zero (I think it's because of a bad repair of Windows XP after a virus has passed my security). Before it crashed, I was easily 20 tabs open in Firefox, some of them being very important, but I don't remember what some of them were called or how I found them. I was wondering how Firefox knows what tabs/windows to open when you click on 'Restore Session', if it is stored in a file of all kinds, so that I could start on Linux, download the file and somehow use it once I have installed my new buy Win7. It is not a Firefox problem, but I didn't know where it is best to ask this question.

  Thanks for reading & a helping hand

  Tgirl_Alana, welcome to the forum.

  Here is the page of 'product' for the computer.  If you look in the section titled 'Memory upgrade information', it shows the maximum memory as 32 GB with a 64 bit OS.  It is dual channel memory architecture.  Therefore, you should check the memory stick existing brand and match exactly.  Otherwise, dual channel does not work correctly.  Running dual channel memory is faster.  If you does not match the existing memory, it may be better to buy two new sticks as a set.
