My computer will get speed by installing an OS Win 7 32 - bit OS 64-bit instead?

I am currently using Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. So, can I get speed by installing an OS Win 7 32 - bit OS 64-bit instead?

In some instances Yes, I got Windows 7 64 bit on a computer with 2 GB of RAM, I noticed after some time, he was not optimal. I decided to try 32 bit Windows 7 and seen improving overall performance with regard to the execution of applications and operating in Windows 7.

Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller.

  • Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

    I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

    I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

    1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

    2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

    3 renamed WPA.dbl

    4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

    5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

    6 restart the computer.

    The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

    Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

    Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

    But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

    I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

    I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

    So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

    This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

    Problem solved.

  • computer will not start at the top. Did just a bit of noise and a bright flash, but nothing else works, not even the monitor

    No Visual on the screen.  The computer does not (noise) to turn on.

    All I can do is repeat my previous tips for you:

    If nothing appears at all, it seems to be a hardware problem.

    If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    If it is not under warranty, contact a local and trusted computer repair shop.

    Good luck with it.

    See you soon.

  • failed to install/update iTunes wins 10 64-bit

    I can't get the last update to install on my machine 10-64 victory.  I get the following errors:

    Event ID: 1013

    Product: iTunes - there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your provider to support personal or package.

    and

    Product: Apple Software Update - error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your provider to support personal or package. Action: SoftwareUpdate_UnregServer, location: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe, command: /UnregServer

    Any suggestions?

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of the programs and features Control Panel, and then reinstall iTunes.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    Hi Douglas,.

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to check if the Windows Installer Service runs in the Services.msc window.
     
    a. Click Start; In the start search, type Services.msc and press to enter.
    b. right-click on Windows Installer and click on Start (only if the Service is stopped).

    Step 2:

    If the file has the extension .msi, you can also check out the file and then try to install the software from the setup.exe file and check.

    Step 3:

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x 86). This should help with the error for Microsoft.VC80.CRT

  • Cannot download and install applications on Win 7 64 bit

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I can not successfully download and install all applications using IE 9.  First of all, I get a warning that it is not a common software (even for programs commonly downloaded as Win Zip).  Then when I save it, what is saved is considerably lower that we shouldn't.  When I try to launch the installation software, it tells me that he is not a Win32 application (which is meaningless to me as WinZip is 64-bit compatible).  In this case no matter what I try to download and install.  On the other hand, Windows is able to download and install its own updates.  I saw that another son on this but no answers that were useful, can anyone help?

    I have Norton, but it was turned off.  However, I failed to mention an important detail.  This resulted in Windows 7 run on a virtual machine (Parallels).  I talked to Parallels support and they had me change a setup that seems to have solved the problem.  Thank you for your efforts and sorry for being incomplete in my messages.

  • Creating cloud Nightmare - cannot run Photoshop CS6 / impossible to install Photoshop CS6 - Win 7 64 bit

    What can I do?

    I've long used lightroom and photoshop cs6 for several months on this system successfully.  A license through the creative method of cloud - who, before today, worked OK most of the time.

    From today - I have huge problems that I can't move.  When I run the photoshop application I get a message indicating that I have 30 days remaining on a trial subscription.

    If I try the link to the "software license" dialog request for serial number.  As a creative cloud subscriber, I don't think I've ever received a serial number.  If I try the link which

    says "Sign up now", I'm going on a web page where one of the options is the signature as a member of creative cloud.  I can do it but it does not help somehow.

    The only thing I can do now is to continue the trial, but I have to do whenever I run the application photoshop - what is often in my workflow, since I use mostly lightroom and photoshop required link.

    I completely uninstalled photoshop via windows, uninstall and then reinstalled using the application adobe but install Manager said there were errors.  There was a "hyperlink" (at least that'w what it looked like) who

    said something like "more details", but I couldn't get more details.

    Run the Creative Suite cleanup tool, let the AAM to reinstall from scratch. Be careful with updates. There was a bug in one of them that casues this behavior. Apply only to the 13.1.1 was last updated.
