• Can not find card his after clean reinstall from scratch for 32-bit vista from 64

  Hello everyone,

  Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.

  I did a clean reinstall from scratch from vista 32 bit vista 64.   None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone... all unfortunately outdated) played on the 64 version.  That's why I nuked it.

  Resettlement has worked like a charm, except that now I can't get anything external outlets, which worked fine before the reinstall.  I used all aspects of the Device Manager and checked for downloads on each.  When I go to sound devices, it lists the sound card as "device high definition audio" and said that the software has been updated.

  The internal speakers are the delicious Altec Lansings... and they work fine.  In fact, when I plug something into the headphone Sockets, they continue to work.

  Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the card its installed on my build and then find the driver for it.

  Here are all the specs from the rear if you need:

• Impossible to maintain 32-bit Vista

  Hi and thanks in advance for any help with this nagging question.

  I have a 32 bit Vista business os on a new laptop that I bought a few years ago that accompanies the offer to upgrade to win 7 (like win 7 was the current operating system)... If we paid an additional amount they would send us the drive for win 7.  I bought but was extremely satisfied with vista so I've never updated.  My system crashed after only a few years and I did a reformat but I always wanted to use vista (I met win 7 in the middle of work and vista preferred).   Lately, I am unable to update something... I was told that microsoft 'does not support vista"more... arggh... I heard that they did not support xp... .but didn't know vista was going to be eliminated also.

  I received when I try to update the error message is: Oxc8000247

  help with what this means?...

  also I received a message popping up to upgrade to win 7...

  I'm just a bit worried to install win 7 because I do not like the system... and I'm worried, I'd lose all my files and photos of family if I do... but if vista is not supported more, I don't have much choice I guess...

  suggestions re Oxc8000247 error? will you please and advice would be much appreciated

  Thank you very much

• Want to move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Original title: Vista 32-bit to 64-bit without disc.

  Hi all

  First post and not very technical minded (although not completely clueless) so go easy.

  In short, I want to upgrade 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Long story, I have a dell latitude e4300 with professional vista installed on it. I bought the laptop from a company who buys wipes of the company and sells them on. When I bought the laptop it is everything I had... the laptop, manuals, disks etc. I want to increase the memory on the laptop 6 GB but have read that I need 64 bit vista to take advantage of this.

  So, how can I do this with only the product code for windows? or is this even possible?

  Thank you very much

  John

  "Can I move a version 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?

  N ° if you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version. »

  See why upgrade to Windows 7 makes sense

  However, and my dilemma who found your post, amounts to:

  1. If you head to 64-bit (a number somewhere North of 1.844 E19 one approach the number of electrons in a Coulomb for free!) AND you don't have a product key, why not make the leap to 8.1 Windows 64-bit? and,
  2. It should be first of ALL to ensure that your "32-bit" software will run in a 64 bit environment especially make sure that your printer has a compatible driver update.

  PS Your interest to think "upward" is necessary and laudable.  Your question is carefully constructed.  It has never been my experience to find the answers except kind, helpful and generous in the community Microsoft.  Similarly, it is called the 'social media' or 'public access' sites (YouTube, for example) where the landscape is littered with fecal printing.

  (64-bit capable) 32 bit Vista Home Premium... I can do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit professional?... from a flash drive?... to change the boot order?... or at all?

  Hello

  That's right; with Vista Home Premiun upgrade paths are for Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate.

  It is one of the reasons why you should do a clean install.

  The other reason is that you can NOT put 32-bit to 64-bit.

  You need a clean install to do.

  Follow these steps before you install or buy Windows 7:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

• Blue screen 64-bit Vista - 0x7a-KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

  original title: 64-bit Vista of death blue screen

  I started to have blue screen errors.  I received a couple but 4 different ones.  One I have and I got different eras has been STOP: 0x000000F4 and that's all that I've got ACE for this one at a time.  He began by the freezing of my office and remained frozen for a few minutes until it gave me the blue screen.  I restarted went without failure then normal mode and it kept working for quite some time.

  Then he kept the freeze again.  Then he gave me

  KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR memory options disable BIOS such as implementing caching or shading.  0x0000007A (0xFFFFFFFFC0000056, 0 x 0000000086509860, 0xFFFFF6FD30009778, 0xFFFFFA60012EF244)

  So I rebooted again and there once again in safe mode and back to normal.

  So I kept trying to see if my PC kept working.  Because I didn't have from time to time to post how I continued to use it as he continued to work.  Then it froze again and gave me

  STOP: c000021a {fatal system error} the initial session of the system or process ended unexpectedly with status 0x00000000 (0xC0000056, 0 x 00100500) the system has been turned off.

  So this time he send me to the Startup Repair and after trying to find a solution for a while, he couldn't fix and tried to allow me to restore but restore was not successful and gave me.

  StartRep.exe - Application Error

  The statement to the 0x7779b49e referenced memory at 0xff7f2f78.  Required data has not been placed in memory because of an error of e/s of 0xc0000185 status.  CLICK ON OK TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM.

  So I keep on going and finally at some point it allows to restore only to give me another simialar to a previous error.

  STOP: 0X0000007A (0XFFFFFFFFC0000056, 0X000000002425E860, 0XFFFFF6FD30019408, 0XFFFFFA60032810EC)

  Oh Yes (EDIT) at some point during one of the Security Modes it froze and let nothing happen. Just thought I would add in it.

  Sorry it's a little long but any help or info would be appreciated.  I clean my registry and it kept my computer goes about a week before this last error.  Does not do anything for it since.  The only thing I could think that I installed because it started happening was Norton Internet Security 2011 but at the time I don't think it was a big deal, so do not know how long after or before there was that I installed and started having some bluescreens.

  All my drivers are up to date for.

• The original OEM product key allows you to move from a 32-bit Vista Ultimate installation to a Vista Ultimate 64-bit installation.

  The product key OEM genuine original of my software to 32-bit with service pack 1 (that I bought and installed on my computer) allows to switch from a 32-bit Vista Ultimate installation to a 64-bit Vista Ultimate installation on the same computer without changing the motherboard?

  I would use a replacement disc from Microsoft 64-bit including Service Pack 2 as complete a reinstall? Microsoft 64-bit replacement drive has been obtained from Microsoft with the 32-bit version (which is currently installed) after some intractable problems found by the Microsoft Tech support in my OEM 32-bit software with service pack 1.

  I'll be able to do an online activation?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You should check with Support to be sure. Normally the 32-bit and 64-bit key can
  be used on the same system. Of course, you need to install the 64 who will wipe away
  the installation of 32-bit. The key you should however work to check better
  with that which supplied the disc. The manufacturer of your system can also provide input.

  I hope this helps.

• 64-bit on 32-bit vista update

  I had problems with the update, so automatic updates are disabled on my laptop. We just got StarCraft 2 and while I was installing it, it told me that I needed Windows Service Pack 1. I went to the site to download it manually. I wasn't some time I had vista 32-bit or 64-bit. I downloaded the 32-bit version of the update, first of all, but he told me that I had the wrong version. Next, I tried the 64 bit version. I had to take my brother to drivers ed and the installation would take some time. I left it running and when I came back she was acting weird.

  When I turn on the laptop, it shows the Dell loading screen, then goes to the vista loading screen. It seems that its charge for a few moments before the flashing is a blue screen with white writing and restarts.

  I tried the safe mode, the last good configuration management and I tried to boot from the vista disc, but none of them worked. I found my disc of resettlement for vista and it says I have 32 bit vista.

  My father has a cable that plugs into the drive to a USB connector, so I can get all my files out of it. Is it possible to fix it?

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

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

  If you can't boot from the drive, you have problems.

  We do not know how you tried to start;

  Read this ';

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• try to install Medal of Honor Airborne on 32-bit vista, and problems with the windows firewall starts do not.

  OK, im losing my mind.

  I bought a copy of airborne for my 32 bit vista system and found initially that I had to do a few tricks to install and play it like UN-installing ageia phys-x, it was simple enough. Well I have had since stopped playing it and would try to uninstall without result. I tried to fix it and using "C-cleaner.

  I went down some of the files, but I think that my registry is a little buggy so I tried blocking it with c cleaner, he sure found several errors and fixesd them.

  Well, I'm trying now to re - install MOHA and when I put the disc and click autorun the pre-start games window appears with the usual options, play, upgrade, site Web etc... I hit play, it does nothing. I tried to uninstall it from the disk and to halfway through she said "MOHA has not stopped the Installation Wizard prematurely try again later". I can't repair or uninstall or install. I read somewhere that it is a firewall with windows problem and if I run my firewall victory "which I have never on", this should work if the software is added to the 'green' list on the firewall.

  now I find that I can not get my firewall to start. I researched and found a few forums where people explained to the services command prompt and tried to 'start' several 'order' in there and firewall programs will not start giving me this error-windows cannot start service windows firewall. and the code of error-6801.

  I am a novice to tooling autour under the 'software' hood of PCs. I know a bit about the material and that's it. anyone has any ideas for me? otherwise I'm looking to another disorder vista install, I had a moment difficult, installation of the 1st hour and im not not looking forward to try it again...

  Thanks in advance, has soon - a fool lose his mind...

• Cannot install older 32-bit applications on 64-bit Vista...

  I have several old applications I wrote VB3 - 6 and you want to install them on my new Dell running Vista 64 bit laptop.

  Whenever I try to install one of these older apps, including Visual Basic (studio) 6, I get the following message...
  "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using.  "Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

  As I wrote some of the original applications and I am unable to install VB6, or for other peoples software, it comes to the latest version available.

  I tried to change the properties of the exe... tried to change the compatibility to XP SP2 and 98 and changing the Admin box too... no luck so far.

• Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

  There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

  DeskJet 710

  DeskJet 712

  DeskJet 720

  DeskJet 722

  DeskJet 810

  DeskJet 812

  Deskjet 820

  DeskJet 822

  DeskJet 1000

  The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

  [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

  First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

  Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

  This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

  This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

  Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

  Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

  Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

  MD c:\temp

  CD \temp

  Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

  [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

  Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

  *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

  Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

  Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

  Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

  Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

  NET Start Spooler

  Output

  [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

  At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

  Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

  If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

  

  Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

  Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.
