Problems with 64Bit.....?

Generally, 64bit should have no issues. Just make sure you find the appropriate drivers and (depending on the nature of your use with the computer i.e. gaming, office work, graphic designing etc) make sure you do some preliminary research if certain software works alright or not.

I'd recommend to just install the O/S and find out. My testing has been really good. Aside from using custom drivers (with no digital signing) for some peripherals, it runs just fine. Games are fine (in fact, perform a little better to its 32bit counterpart), random software is fine as well....driver support is also top-notch (unless you have REALLY old hardware or equipment from really dodgy companies) you'll have a good experience.

You can also integrate SP1 prior to installing (either with vLite or get an official Vista SP1 version). Either way, your key is valid for either.

Cool, thank you guys very much for the info.. I don't do all that much stuff thats really hard anyways.. I do use a Wireless Netgear router.. don't want to much longer.. sucks for gaming. I want to hardwire it..

I game, I download, I burn DVD's with nero and DVD shrink.. I do some other Video editing and Encrypting.. nothing to extremely difficult.. I'm thinking I wont have an Major problems.. most my things I do are average for upper computer users and gamers.. so I'll be fine i think.. now I learned about this Windows Alternate Media thing.. I can use old Serial to upgrade to 64.. so I have to wait for disk in mail.. it's ok tho. I'll use a trial in the meantime.. Awesome. thank you all for your help!

Cheers!

Your Welcome,
To save you some problems This is what will not work for me in Vista 64 even in XP compatability mode; but will work in Vista 32.

PSP 9, PSP Photo X 2, Cerous ThumbsPlus 7, SoundM ADI1988 Audio, Realtek RTLO8110SC LAN Driver, Duplicate File Remover, Netcom3, Recover Files Vista Manager. TechSat DVB Card, Core Temperture, Spybot Search & Distroy, WinCleaner OneClick, DVD Shrink (have not tried the lastest version), Max Registry Cleaner, TweekVista, Ashampoo Win Optimizer, Spyware Doctor, Zone Alarm Firewall (good free replacement is VistaFirewallControl), TweekNow Registry Cleaner. I found that Microsoft Office 2003 did not run correctly and would not update. I could carry on, but this gives you an idea.

i c.. damn. thats a decent list.. although I don't use very many of those.. I do use DVD shrink.. and Often... what version did you try? I have dvd shrink 3.2 and did DVD decrypter work??? those are both important to me

I can't remember what version of DVD Shrink I used but I am 99% sure it was older than 3.1 as for DVD Decrypter it would have been of the same the same time say late December or early January 2008.

Sorry I can't be more accurate.

If you want a Full List of what I have that works now email me at:- jannerhank2000@yahoo.com

well I'm pretty sure the models of DVD shrink and Decrypter I use now are the same versions they've had out for the last... at least 6 months.. so dvd decrypter didn't work either then?

Can anyone Confirm these??

(Not saying I don't trust you) just wanna hear it from others to

Hey, great list dude. Thanks. I use(d) some of those programs on my old rig with xp, but hadn't downloaded them yet on this one because I wasn't sure it was stable yet. LOL Now I know not to. I especially was debating about transfering Office 2003 or buying 2007. Think I'll just buy the basic 2007 with word based on what you just wrote. It really isn't worth 50 bucks for hours of headaches....... reminds me, i need to get on my old computer to get a few files.............


SO Gunt, what COD4 server do you want to be pwned in?

I have used the programs listed and they work fine under Vista 32bit or 64bit, they usually work...

what programs you talking about dmex.. the DVD shrink and Decrypter.. do they work in 64.. i Sure hope they do.. i love those programs.. unless there is something better to replace what they do..

and as to your COD4 question.. I'm actually not all that great.. I don't even own COD4.. only played the Demo.. but I enjoyed it.. wait til i get this system finished.. give me a week with COD4.. and I'll give you a battle.. maybe a run for one of those 9800GX2's you don't need!

what ya say.. hehe always wheelin and dealin..

Also do you play CS?

We will have to disagree on this. I am using Vista Home Premium 64. Yes I have noticed some difference between the beta's RC's which I used in he 64-bit version before Vista was let loose in the wild, and that was the Ultimate Version and the Home Premium 64 version has a lot less on it.

I went through this 4 times and re-formatted each time on 2 different PC's and got the same results. So what I wrote does apply to my 2 seperate PC's listed below.

MB = Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939, CRU = AMD 4800+ Dual, RAM = 2GB of Corsair (can't remember the model but its the type with the LEDS that flash on top), Sound Blaster Audigy LS, ATI 9800 AIW, Samsung SATA Spinpoint X2,

Asus P56K Premium WiFi-AP; Intel Q6600 (o/c to 3.1GHz), 8GB of OCZ Reaper PC2-8500 RAM, X-Fi- (SB460), ATI 1950 Pro, Samsung Spinpoint 500GB with 16MB buffer.

And as you say cobber 'It pisses all over the specs required for Vista'! But it did not run crashed and hung up; and they work togeter OK in Vista 32. Strangly enough it worked for a time before it did so every time, in one case when I switched on it had deleted 2 programmes? Other times I needed to boot using the Vista installation disc which removed some of the programmes I wrote about above then it worked. It is still doing so now. A look at the web pages will show I was not alone in this and this is spead over several months. Being an Aussie you have heard of Clive Sinclear well I had his right hand man helping me on this, he was a close friend in Saudi where we both worked.

I am not saying you are wrong mate, but I am saying its ******** in my case.
