• Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

• Manager application does more than 99% in install (Windows, 64-bit, master collection CS6 8.1)

  I tried to reinstall the master collection after preforming a clean windows installation, and the installer hangs at 99% for most, 2.2 GB of data remains to install with "adobe application manager unresponsive" popping up.

  I used the adobe cleaning tool, used optical and even installation media downloaded the binary file out of the adobe site but a crushing facility or the other way. and when he was finished, this time, he said that it was unable to install flash, Photoshop and illustrator. and trying to launch another application, it is said Error:(213:5).

  He said to restart and if the problem persists contact technical support. so, here I am.

  No idea why this is happening on a platform that it worked very well on before, on a newly refreshed windows install?

  
  Thank you for your time and expertise in this area.

  I clicked on "check online for a solution", but nothing came.

  I tried to install an earlier version, but was not allowed to do.

  How can I solve this problem.

  Hi Nick91606,

  KERNELBASE.dll is a file system of the operating system.

  Method 1

  I suggest that you save the file on your computer and check if Windows media player works.

  (a) click the Start button.

  (b) in the search box, type command prompt.

  (c) in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (d) in the type command regsvr32 kernelbase.dll line press ENTER.

  (e) close the command prompt

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  I want to reinstall my system 32-bit of Windows 8 with 64 bit on my desk.  I have the Windows 8 install disc and I understand I have to do a clean install and reinstall other programs.  All my data files are on a separate hard drive and only program files are on my C drive.  Installing the 64-bit system will leave the affected data files?  Also I would like to install an SSD and install the 64-bit Windows on it as well as my other programs.  Can I install the SSD drive and then install Windows 8 64 bit on it? Or would it be better to install Windows 64 bits on the C drive and then install the SSD drive and migrate Windows 8 for it and then reinstall my other programs? Thanks for any help.

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the disk before Windows 8 upgrade version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, of contact support.

  See the following work around you can use:

  If you install Windows retail media 8.1, you go without any of the above workarounds.

  Also I would like to install an SSD and install the 64-bit Windows on it as well as my other programs.  Can I install the SSD drive and then install Windows 8 64 bit on it?

  Yes, you can use work around it.

  Or would it be better to install Windows 64 bits on the C drive and then install the SSD drive and migrate Windows 8 for it and then reinstall my other programs? Thanks for any help.

  For performance, its best you install Windows 8 64-bit on the SSD and make sure your boot drive and keep your personal data on the mechanical hard drive.

• Why my new laptop to start keep saying, ' Please wait until we have install Windows?

  I bought a new laptop in November. It is a Sony Vaio and runs Windows 7. Whenever I start it, it tells me 'Pleasse to wait until what we install Windows'. Surely, Windows is already installed.

  He also periodically, when I'm in the middle of something, usually with "Please wait while configure us Windows Media. Whenever I have download anything, it downloads about 4 times.
  Should I return this laptop or is there a simple solution that I don't know. I already tried a restore of the system without useful effect. Any help would be appreciated gratefully.

• Migration Oracle Apps R12 for windows 32-bit to 64-bit windows

  Hello
  
  We have two node for R12.1.1 on windows 2008 32-bit architecture. A database node and the other node for application.
  
  As we face a lot of problems of memory, we plan to go for 64-bit.
  
  I already read the document
  
  Migration Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 [ID 1188535.1]
  
  Says doc in place upgrades of the OS are not supported...
  
  So my question is...
  
  While keeping the production, how can all I migrate using the same servers. Coz my company won't buy new servers...
  
  
  Please suggest.

  Thank you very much. But I have to make sure that backup is correct and can be restored.

  I am thinking to create a clone to another machine before installing Windows 64 bits on production. While I would backup migration gives a few problems.

  Other suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  Your approach should be good. Make sure that your backup is recoverable and you have a second copy on another hard drive.

• My Windows 7 upgrade disk has only 32 bits. I want to install Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do?

  Upgrade to 64 - bit with this situation?
  A few years ago, I bought a PC which has Vista installed on it, but I was given a Windows 7 Upgrade disk to install Windows 7. I was able to create a clean install with upgrade disc. Recently, I discovered that my processor can support 64-bit, so I want to go to that. Problem is the upgrade disc contains the 32-bit version, even though I believe complete dics of Windows 7 contains both versions. It does not mean that I am eligible for the 64 bit version of Windows 7? It's terribly confusing.
  What are my options for installation of 64-bit? The 64-bit version can be downloaded or something? I even use the same product key?

  Will be the product key, I received with my job to drive upgrade with the 64-bit version, I downloaded?

  Yes.

  The key of Windows 7 works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  My PC running the 32-bit version or 64-bit Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-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. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

  Don't have windows 7 Pro/Ult have XP mode?

  Its a separate download, but Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate support it.

• What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

  What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

  Thanks for a response.

  Brenda

  Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

  I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

  The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

  So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  VirtualBox does not support boot from USB key USB by default. You're better off using a. ISO file or DVD.

  You can use VMWare Player as an alternative, if you use a USB key as a support for your installation:
