The upgrade of the (32-bit) (64-bit) hardware with Vista Ultimate!

I have Vista Ultimate (32 bit) installed on a (32 bit) CPU/motherboard.

I want to buy and install a (64-bit) CPU/motherboard.

Should I buy a new Full Version of Vista Ultimate (64 bit)?

OR

I can purchade a new upgrade Version of Vista Ultimate (64 bit)?

OR

There are other alternatives available?

Best regards

Mike Lynch

About Mike but 'no cigar '!

While searching for an answer, I found a link to Microsoft and the Agent told me that:

"For $9.95", as an alternative to buying a new Full Version of Vista Ultimate (64-bit), I can order a replacement of media (64-Bit to 32 - Bit).

Now that's what I call a reasonable Marketing / Sales position.

YIKES!

I like it.

  • 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The error is event 6008.

    I have an ACER aspire x 3200 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The only mistakes were event 6008 with a description of the stop system prior to (time) on (date) was not planned.
    When these errors originally occurred, I returned the system to acer and they installed a new hard drive. After updating the vista system blockages continue 30 times over a period of 3 months. Acer sent me a new disk image on 3 disks that I have installed and updated on 11 October. There is no blocking until the 10/27, 10/28, and for the 3rd time today.
    The closed unexpected gives a blue screen if I use the locking system to the top. I have to hold the power to restart when the system crashes.
    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  But I guess it's too late for this for so long that there are probably no so old restore points.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer on the stop (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.  From what I understand, there is none of the events (which surprises me because a freeze should certainly generate an error event).

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work (but you NEED a disc).  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

    Is this a good choice is not to install the 32-bit java plugin?

    Nope - you need the 32-bit Java to go with the 32-bit Firefox, if you want that Java run

  • The WPS54G Wireless Print Server works with Vista?

    The WPS54G Wireless Print Server works with Vista? I have a new Dell Vista laptop and unable to connect to the print server. The other XP machines on my network will connect correctly.

    I just got credit working mine in the answers above with a few small differences.

    5. Select LPR, L2 the name value in the queue for a USB printer.  Turn on [LPR active of counting bytes.  Queue names are distinguished by the printer and I think as Mfg ("queue name" search and replacing your printer for queue names.)

  • Re: Tecra A10 - 12O - how to buy the 64-bit version of Vista?

    Hello!

    I bought Tecra A10 - 12O with 4 GB of ram.
    My Tecra shipped only with Windows Vista Business 32-bit so I can use only 3, 2 GB of memory.
    I got to know that Microsoft allows me to use the 64 bit instead of 32 bit version - legally.
    I have to buy 64 bit media much chipper as the new Vista box.

    Here is the link to the Polish Microsoft page where I could order 64-bit media [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1045/ordermedia/pl-pl/default.mspx], of course, if this page would accept my product key.

    Microsoft says I can get 64 bit Toshiba media.
    I can't find Toshiba Web information pages on how to get the media. Polish Toshibas service says that it is not possible.

    Does anyone know how to buy that media?

    concerning
    Tomek

    Hello

    If you want to use the Vista 64 bit OS, then you will need to buy a full license Vista 64-bit.
    The 32-bit Vista preinstalled on your laptop is only the OEM licenses and the serial key belongs to this operating system preinstalled.

  • Installed the 64 bit version of vista, but need to 32-bit. Help, please!

    My Vista 32 bit was removed from my Sony Vaio.  I tried to use a disc of Vista, but after I loaded it, I realized it was a 64-bit version of Vista.  The screen is filled only partially.  I don't have a backup for 32-bit Vista disc, then how I would go from 64-bit to 32-bit Vista so I can have my full screen back?

    It is your option to reinstall Vista 32 bit.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • How to reduce the noise of the big FAN on Portege M400 with Vista

    M400 (vista with newer utilities for electric model) FAN blows very noisy constantly regardless of real need for cooling.

    Even with zero responsible jobs, less than 1% (flat curve) of the activity, the processor speed to 50% in the model of power and all power to the minimum settings, FAN does not reduce the speed. After a reboot, for a short time, the noise is bearable, we can conclude that the FAN seems to be capable of low speed.

    On all the M400, we, the problem is the same.
    How to work with M400 in an environment quiet?

    Hello

    Toshiba has designed the special version of the BIOS and it was a long time ago. This version of the BIOS has been designed prior to the launch of Vista, and now we can not say that it is not for Vista.
    Of course, it is not for Vista.

    In Vista, there is a fairly new situation. At first, I must say that it is well known that Vista uses more resources than Windows XP Home edition. Secondly, you know very well that M400 has a lot of background processes running. If I remember well under Windows XP Home edition, there was between 60 and 70, ongoing process. Can you please tell me how are running processes on your M400 running Vista?

    It's really not easy to say what to do. I think that you have two choices: either wait that Toshiba has do something (can take a long time) or try to reduce all the processes running and try to optimize the operating system. I don't think this will help a lot, but you can try.
