There is a limit to the amount of RAM you can have with a 32-bit Windows OS. I forget if the limit is 4 gigs or 8 gigs.

It's possible that it only contains drivers specifically for the components in HP machines. However, I'm really not sure either way.

Athlon 64 is a 32bit CPU that can handle 64 bit stuff? That doesn't make sense? Are you sure?

Check out your hosts file - I don't remember where it's located. Maybe someone else can fill in the details?

I think you're confusing how big the pagefile is with how much space is reserved for it to grow to.

AFAIK, Windows will use RAM as much as it can before resorting to the pagefile. Shrinking the pagefile won't force it into using more RAM instead. It's just the way Windows works to always use some...

Yeah, it's not. Sorry.

Do you have a 64-bit processor and is 64-bit compatibility enabled in the BIOS?

It is sfc /scannow and not sfc/scannow

> As for sfc/scannow
What about the space? :)

Nope, mine is a full tower.

I got a Dell Precision Workstation 690. :)

Are these powertoys compatible with Windows XP x64 edition?

How much ram do you have in the omputer? More than 4 gigs would be a reason why you have to go with Windows XP x64 edition instead of Windows 2000.

I'm sorry to hear that :(

Unfortunately, no. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 will only work on Tablet PCs (laptops with touchscreens).

The new conroe? I ended up with a dual core dual xeon 5100 series.

You're exactly right, 'Stein. I've had my new Dell since last Wednesday and I'm very happy with it. However, I am afraid to install The Sims 2 again.

Update: I ran the installer in XP Compatibility Mode, and it seems to be working just fine. The application, itself, runs natively.

Went with Acronis Disk Director after reading about lots of people saying they were having the problem where they would resize a partition and it just wouldn't take with PM.

I am very interested in running AIM Pro, which according to the aim.com website, is Windows XP x64 Edition compatible. However, the setup program throws back an error saying invalid operating system....

I have no idea - I never tried it. Hence me asking whether it's worth giving it a go or buying the x64-supported Acronis disk imager.

I'm glad to hear you've heard good things about Acronis, because I was biting my lip using it to partition, because I had never heard of it before this week.

While the latest version of Norton...

I have always used PartitionMagic and DriveImage and when PowerQuest was bought out by Symantec, I started using PartitionMagic and Norton Ghost

but this new machine of mine runs Win XP x64...

Has anyone had any problems running the latest version of PartitionMagic on Windows XP x64 edition?

Per user request, attachment removed. Attached is the same attachment in image format.

Well, here's what happened. After the Sims 2 completely froze on me, and everything was unresponsive, I was forced to hard reboot. Upon reentering Windows, things started appearing very flaky. I then...

Kink in the wire, perhaps? I use CAT6 but CAT5e definitely is gigabit-compliant.

Something to add, although I'm not quite sure it makes a difference, is that I am running Folding@Home in the background.

As some of you might already know, I'm a huge simulations fan ... SimCity, The Sims, The Sims 2, etc.

Well, I just bought a new computer a couple of days ago, and it's running Windows XP...

I have the same problem as UncleXNL in that thread. My icons need to be rebuilt, and I can only do this with TweakUI. Unfortunately, I don't feel comfortable installing beta software from an unknown...

Are there any Windows PowerTools (TweakUI in particular) for Microsoft Windows Professional x64 edition?

Does anyone have any solutions to getting Adobe Acrobat's Print To PDF functionality back in Windows XP Pro x64 Edition? :( I'm killing myself here with only 32-bit PDF Printer drivers.

In IE, Go to the View menu and then Font Size, and keep it on the Medium setting. You can change font sizes in Firefox, as well, but it works a bit differently. Firefox font size control is also more...

Click the Tools menu and then Message Rules and then on Blocked Senders List.

It doesn't. You would need a third party application to record computer activity. It would only be able to store information from its install point forwards, however.

I *THINK* (and am probably wrong) that it is a marketing issue. Some companies will brand hard drives with 160,000 megs as 160 gigs. But there are really 1,024 megs in a gig, not a flat 1,000, so...

I would say the video card is having a problem ... perhaps it got lose as it was being transported?

Sounds good. Glad you got it working. I'm marking this thread as solved :) Welcome aboard!

Gotta love DaniWeb :) Marking thread as solved.
