I want to downgrade my vista to the 32-bit version, so I can get my devices that do not have 64-bit drivers to work
I bought all windows except 7 operating systems. I think that it is high time I got one that works.
64-bit to 32-bit isn't a downgrade; It is a separate operating system.
You buy a Vista 32 bit OS full and do a clean install.
You can buy at your local computer store; or online at: Amazon, Newegg, etc.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

The 32-bit drivers will work on 64-bit so dual boot to 32 bit?
Hello
I use my laptop for recording audio. It came standard with Windows Vista 64-bit. I recently got a piece of hardware (a mixing table) has currently no 64-bit drivers. I was wondering if I put my computer to dual boot saying Windows Xp 32 bit if I would be able to get the drivers and run my blender.
Thank you
TraeCome on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...
If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

Wireless devices shows the MAC address for 1 device that does not have an IP address
I am tracking down each device connected to my router nighthawk and I identified everyone except this. There is a device of Wirelsss appears when I connect to the router that does NOT have an IP address but it has a MAC address. An interesting point is that the router device itself has a number of MAC that is not anywhere in the list of devices. Any ideas what this could be? I have an Extneder range wireless attached Nighthawk also but I already idenfified his IP address and Mac address.
How a device could have a mac address, but not IP address?
Why the address of the router device do not show in the list of anywhere?
Try to turn off the Extender and see if that will fill again.

I bought CS5 on a CD for a long time for my windows 7 PC and I now want to put on my new iMac Yosemite that does not have a CD player running. Can I download it from adobe or from the app store and use my original serial number?
You can use it only on a Win computer. If you had CS6, you could do a platform Exchange but not with CS5. Here are the details of the exchanges of the platform:

had 2 users on the computer with itunes on the desktop. main user itunes has stopped working, but the secondary users still worked. tried to update software with the latest version but get a message that reads "not access network location % data%\ app.
This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.
The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry. Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry way to create a point in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-a-restore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/ restoration system just to be on the safe side.
Here are the steps to fix it.
1. click on start, run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. look for the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\
3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.
886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, click change, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. Change it if necessary.
Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work without the full procedure, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.
I hope this helps. If not, post back with the results of what you tried. Rear post anyway so we will know what happened.
Good luck!

I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?
Hello
I have 2 laptops Toshiba, Qosmio X 300 - 14U and Satellite T130 - 12 K, and my question is:
I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?Thanks in advance
Hi frakri,
What drivers tell you exactly? Display, chipset, sound, etc. ?
Theoretically, it should be possible, but it s according to the material. For example if your Qosmio has the same chipset as satellite you can use these drivers. Otherwise it wouldn't work because the hardware is different.
First, check the features!In addition, you can get all the drivers here:
