Upgrade to 64-bit; is there a way to check all programs to ensure compatibility

There were a few old threads and I didn't know if I could use them or not.

Simple question: I'm really looking to upgrade Vista 32-bit to 64-bit. I have the right processor/motherboard.  I wonder since I 161 applications installed on the PC, I have to search all the 161 requests or should I only worry combat Sound Card (custom); and the video card (custom).

Course I guess I need research so material: sound, video, printer, network USB adapter/monitor/all other devices connected, behind the Tower/mouse/keyboard... I suppose that all those that I have to really focus on huh?

I sincerely hoped there is an easier way, like a scan to see if my computer everything was compatible? Are there?  Thank you

Contact and investigate each piece of hardware and every piece of software you want to roll with your individually.

Motherboard chipset, audio device, device video, peripheral network, scanners, printers, cameras, etc. for the material.  ANY software that you are currently running as well.  (Most will work on 64-bit as well as 32-bit Windows.  It's REALLY old stuff that needs 16 bits that fails generally.)  Yes - all alone, you have to work... you should check.  Otherwise is your bad.  Only the manufacturer for EACH product (hardware or software) supports their product.  That is why - it is that you have to go.

Your monitor will be fine - as long as your video card works.  Keyboard and mouse - unless they are just weird and no where near normal - should be very well also.

There is no reliable way.  You said yourself you have 161 requests (this is not true, BTW...) Why so much... ?  (* smile *) and there are likely millions of other applications out there you never heard of.  Some made of start-ups and other companies that no longer exist even.  If the code has been compiled in such a way, it will run on a Windows 64-bit operating system - only the manufacturer knows.

Everything you hope to gain in particular?

  • I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. Is there a way to check this?

    I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. My computer is running VERY slowly, lagging behind, or even on an occasional basis freezes and stops when I'm on the net. Computer function uses only the net works fine until a program I use try to use Windows Explorer. Is there a difference between Explorer Windows and Internet Exporer and is there a way to check this, other than the usual scans. I have McAfee and AVG, as well as malicious software running on a schedule and they are still running in the background, constantly analyzes the sites.

    I am at a total loss here. I use secure sites (https rather than just http) when the choice and do not use sites that McAfee or AVG is marked as dangerous. It worries me that I have a lot of things, such a Bank, online and not worry that someone could get information. I recently also maually run the two scan disk and Defrag but they can also be programmed to run on a schedule. The model is NOT saved. When I tried ot create a backup disk, when I first bought the model, something has gone wrong, and he refused to back up then reset would mean a great loss of material. If it's a virus, worm, etc., it is done gradually and I'm not sure that a restart of the plant would be useful it is in IE or Windows Explorer (if there is a difference).

    Yes, it is safe to uninstall McAfee.

    If you have a keyboard connected, you can click a message and press the CTRL + a shortcut to select all before using the button Delete. Unfortunately, there is no way to accomplish this task using the key.

  • Is there a way to detect all the keys that the user clicked in AS3?

    Hi all

    Quick question - is there a way to detect all the keys that the user clicked using the AS3 code? I have pimples on my project and I want to that they be disabled once the user has clicked on it, but I wonder if there is a function that I can write that will automatically disable all keys that the user clicked once?

    Thank you!

    Here is an example where the buttons share the same handler... try it and see if it works (I can't due to not having Flash on hand).  The only problem that I could expect it not to love the evt.currentTarget is not identifiable as a particular class type, but sometimes it can't.  If this is the case there is an easy solution.

    Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick);

    btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick);

    function processBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    evt.currentTarget.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick)

    }

    If you also want to keep track of which buttons were clicked already you can store in an array...

    var clickedButtons:Array = new Array();

    Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick);

    btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick);

    function processBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    evt.currentTarget.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, processBtnClick)

    clickedButtons.push (evt.currentTarget)

    }
