P-35 Patuinum XP Pro 32BIT- To Upgrade to Windows 7 64Bit???

Hello and this what I have at present >
MSI P-35 Platinum MoBo/3.3GB DDR memory/Intel Core2 2.4 Q6600 CPU/ Nvidia GeForce PCI-e 8600GT-512MB /500GB Internal WD HDD/500GB Ext, WD HDD/WinXP SP2/ NERO 9/ recently purchased Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard PCI card that doesn't work with XP Pro 32Bit, SP2, that's one of the reasons I'd like to upgrade.
Technology can be expensive. Always changing. I would like to upgrade from XP PRO 32,to Windows 7- 64, granted, I would rather have 8GB memory for my MEM hungry Photoshop CS4, but because of my 32Bit OS, I can not. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 64Bit,then have to upgrade my 8600GT, then buy more Ram (I have 4 sticks @ 1GB each) will have to replace with 8GB.
Can anyone tell me if my optical CD/DVD drive swill be ok, or a non-issue?
Epson NX300 Scanner/Printer all-in-one? Intel Core2 Quad 6600?
MSI P-35 Platinum MoBo? Will all this be a nightmare....OR stick to 32 Bit Windows7? If I build my own, I was thinking of getting the OEM system build version of Pro 7.
Change is scary...and can be very expensive as well. Took me a long tome to change from Windows 98 to XP, Love XP...will I love Windows 7?
I want to do video editing too. I bought the pinnacle Studio MovieBoard and studio12 software, but having issues with the capture..most tell me to upgrade to fix issues. I'm getting sound capture, but no video using composite connections to analog Camcorder.
I use the MSI Liveupdate utility for my MSO MoBo, but if I want to download drivers and save them on a flash drive to install after the clean install of Win7, I can get them all here @ MSI?
Are there any other peeps out there who just might happen to have my same board and is upgrading from WinXP/32 to Windows 7/64, and is there any thing I need to know?
( I went to download the Nvidia Geforce 8600GT driver from MSI, but under the list my model doesn't even come up? 8600GT #512-P2-N756-TR, I thought it better to get it from MSI since they are the Mobo maker as opposed to going to Geforce. Does it matter?

Depending on hardware, you can expect somewhere between 2.5 ~ 3.5 GB of usable RAM. The 32bit OS can address 4GB of address space. Part of this address space is RAM, but also, the onboard components and VGA are in the address space. Today's VGAs often have a large amount of video RAM and that eats into the address space. If you have a VGA with 2GB of ram or a crossfire/SLI configuration, you can expect far less Physical RAM to be available in a 32bit OS.

My iPhone 4 will no longer back up in iTunes after my upgrade to Windows 7 64bit.

I used to have Windows XP 32bit and everything worked fine.
I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and installed iTunes 64bit (I've also tried running the installer as administrator [in the compatibility properties]).
iTunes will recognise it with no problems and I can drag and drop anything I want to the iPhone, but I can't back up.
Software versions: iTunes v10.4.0.80, iPhone 4.3.5.
When I try to back up, the loading bar with either:
Have a loading bar with diagonal lines forever or,
it will start moving and freeze.
I've tried leaving the process for hours, but to no avail.
While the back up is being attempted, iTunes still retains full functionality.
I would exit by sliding the bar on my iPhone (iTunes will retain the loading bars as if frozen) and then unplug it. At this point iTunes takes a few seconds to drop the loading bar altogether, and the little screen will reset to normal functionality.
I believe this may be a iTunes-Windows thing as I did the following with my old laptop (Windows XP 32bit):
Installed iTunes for the first time.
Went into preferences and disabled the automatic backup option.
Plugged in the iPhone, right-click "back up".
The back up took less than 5 minutes.
I don't understand why my main PC can't back up my iPhone.
Can anyone help please?
I've tried researching the same problems and I've ended up doing the following:
Reinstalling iTunes,
Tried changing the iTunes installation folder to "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)",
Deleting all contents from: "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup",
Deleting the apps from my phone in case there are corrupt apps (doesn't make sense though as it backed up fine on my old laptop).
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Kind regards,
Will

Hi there,
I have the same issue. Usually hangs after 10K od sometimes after 18MB of backup file.
Config: iTunes 10.4., Win 7 64bit, iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3
I tried all of these without success:
- deleted backups via iTunes / Preferences
- deleted backups from sync folder
- created a new admin user and tried to sync
- reinstalled iTunes
- ran all Windows updates, restarted, reinstalled iTunes
- ran iTunes / Diagnostics (says everything okay, only info which is strange: diag says I am not a admin user, which is not correct)
Nothing helped. Who can help. I hope someone from Apple can take care, as I seem not to be the only one. Actually iTunes is the worst part about iPhone. Hope with iOS 5 and Cloud sync to get rid of iTunes.
Any hints welcome,
Cheers,

W8-Display too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)

Display is too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)
Hello,
does anyone know how to get the old drivers for w7 to work?
or is there another solution?
My installed driver:
Mobile Intel series 4 express chipset family MS corp. -WDDM 1.1
8.15.10.2702
even on cloudy day it hurts my eyes... (my temp solution is dimScreen app- black filter on top of all windows)
Fn+Home/End
funny thing is that the scale which shows on top left corner has like 11 steps but only top 8 works
also the old bottom page brightness scale (15 steps) disappeared.
background info:
X301-2776 so IMO it is GM45
i had w7pro i i have over installed it with w8pro both 64
thanks ahead for any ideas

Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit). When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number. This model doesn't show one. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

If I upgrade from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1, will it have any affect on my Client Hyper-V XP Pro VM That I have installed ?
WILANDSOP

The same way that you would on a physical machine - select shutdown, not logoff.
The other option is to do it from the Hyper-V manager. Turn off is like holding the power button on a physical machine - it just powers off. Save puts the vm in a saved state which is quick to restart. Shut Down does a system shutdown of the vm, and
requires a reboot when you start it next time.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Can't upgrade to Windows 10 - "Something happened" error

I've tried several times and I simply can't upgrade to Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The instalation process exists with the absurd "Something happened" error. I tried to set the Locale to en/us, and tried to install the ISO through a USB stick but no luck! Earlier I had setup my yoga 2 pro as a dual boot with both Windows 8.1 and Linux. Although I've never made any change to my OEM drives, since I went dual boot the one key recovery service also doesn't work. I still have all those OEM drives intact. When I go to the BIOS setup, I have two boot sectors, one is the original windows boot, and the other is the new linux boot; but I'm not sure it is related or not.

Hi SteveU,
Many things been tried (read the original post) - hybrid shutdown, intel drivers, uninstalling and installing again Lenovo Energy Managment driver (win 8.1 one), trying to use the Windows10 default driver for Energy management, shutting down with holding the shift (or alt button) can't remember now, many many things and clearly this is a Micorosft issue + Lenovo. Not enough testing down before hand, but everyone is happy at Lenovo as our money is at their bank... and have got expensive bit of kit that we shut-down holding down the button - because is just better than pressing shut-down...
This is the second time I'm let down by Lenovo - was thinking will give them another chance but as you can see moderators viewing or post but none of them has got a solution - isn't that right Amy@Lenovo or Majestic
Clearly Ms and Lenovo will blame each other now.
Fed up with this...
Windows 8.1 is the way to go, don't know why I was hoping that the latest MS updates will sort the issue out - wrong again
At least the Mail app works fine now

MacBook Pro Retina won't install windows 7 64bit

Hi guys, i'm tryng to install windows 7 64bit but no success till now. I'm using an updated version ( service pack 1 integrated) when windows loads i can't install it on the bootcamp partition because it says"windows needs an ntfs partition to install" . Then i cancel that partition, create one new ntfs one, and try to install.... then windows tells me "Impossible to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. For further information, look at the program's registry files"
It seems to be an error caused by a defective driver of the controller of the hard disk.... so the controller of the ssd. Or is it something else? how can i install windows via bootcamp on the new macbook pro with retina display?

you format the FAT/MSDOS to NTFS inside the Windows installer.
Windows installer: Advanced Options tab.
You don't create, you just use the one "BOOTCAMP" that was created by Boot Camp Assistant.

Upgrading to Windows 7 64bit

I recently purchased a new Satellite 510 series notebook. I came pre-loaded with Windows 7 32bit. I have my own copy of Windows 7 and I would like to install the 64bit version. Will I be able to do this and still use the computer? Will my Windows 7 DVD contain the drivers necessary to get my computer looking and working like it is now? Also, if I make a mistake, can I use the backup media DVDs to recover my system even if the Windows 7 64bit is installed? I'm a novice at this stuff, but I know there are comparability issues with 32 and 64 bit software. I don't want to completely screw up my computer.

First thing, call Toshiba to ask if computer can handle 64bit operating system. If yes, you can install the 64 bit OS in your computer. Windows will install native drivers for the computer. If you need a specific driver for a certain hardware, you will be able to download it at pcsupport.toshiba.com, just input the model of the computer.
Be sure to download the driver compatible to the model and to the 64bit operating system.

Quicktime Pro will not upgrade on Windows 8.1

Purchased Quicktime Pro via Apple Store- applied the the registration key and the app reports "invalid registration". Quicktime version 7.7.5.
TOSHIBA Satellite P75-A
WINDOWS 8.1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU@ 2.40GHz 240GHz
8GB RAM
64-bit OS, x64-based processor

Duhhh...needed to change the "registered to" name field- it had previously defaulted to my email address...when I applied my Apple Store ID name, in the "registered to" - the upgrade worked.
This should be noted in the email with the license key/upgrade sent to the purchaser.

Satellite Pro L670-14p upgraded to Windows 8 - ATI Driver out of date

Hi,
Recently installed Windows 8 as part of a dual boot system on my laptop. I went to try to play one of the games I usually play under Windows 7 to find it would not even attempt to start as the graphics drivers were out of date... I've searched the Toshiba website for compatible drivers, only to find the newer laptops supported... I've looked around the internet and there is no mention of Windows 8 compatible drivers for the L670-14p.
I know Toshiba have got to make their money, but is it really feasible for them to expect the average punter to by a new laptop everytime a new OS comes out?
As I dual boot, its not really that big an issue, since I can go back to 7, but what about your less techincally minded customers, that have installed Windows 8 on fully capable computers, but the woeful lack of driver updates has now made that process a nightmare for them?
I have always bought Toshiba, since I use my laptop for both business and pleasure... my old Tosh, an Equium is still going strong, no issues at all... but I'm afraid the indifference of Toshiba towards driver updates is staggering, especially for modern machines. The inability and shortsightedness to not fully support a major new OS on release such as Win 8 is quiet frankly pathetic....
I'm sure other laptop manufacturers that actually update their drivers will be thankful for Toshiba's business

> I know Toshiba have got to make their money, but is it really feasible for them to expect the average punter to by a new laptop everytime a new OS comes out?
In the past Toshiba has offered very good support for different operating systems. I understand you very well but problem is that with Win8 many things are new and Microsoft is player that defines new rules.
In my opinion Toshiba and any other notebook manufacturers offer just hardware package and take care that everything works stabile and user friendly.
Notebook manufacturers offer numerous new notebook models every year and it is not possible that they will go back and offer full support for old models.
I dont know how it works exactly but I dont think Toshiba make this ATI driver. This driver is from hardware manufacturer. What Toshiba do is testing, make some corrections or limitations and offer it for the customers. Thats all.
I have checked which GPU is inside in your notebook. It is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 and this card was used on older models. Unfortunately none of them is supported for Win8.
I know it is maybe stupid situation now but we had the same problem in the past when Microsoft has offered Vista and later Win7. Just specific models were supported.
At the end I must say that Im pretty sure that you will remove Win8 from the system pretty soon when you see how it works.

Portege R700-17Z - Upgrading to Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
I currently have a Toshiba Portege R700-17Z.
I want to increase the amount of RAM from 2GB to 8GB, and as a result I want to run Windows 64 bit. I was planning on running a clean reinstall, but is 64 bit Windows built into this machine? Or will I need a separate disk?
If I need a separate disk, any ideas on how to do this without an optical drive?
Many thanks!

At first info about RAM upgrade: You are right. You can upgrade your Portege up to 8GB and compatible 4GB modules have part number PA3677U-1M4G.
According notebook specification your Portege was delivered with WIN7 32BIT PROFESSIONAL but it is supported for Win7 64bit. 64bit drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page.
What is your decision now? If you need some assistance with OS installation let us know.

IQ770 upgrade to Windows 7 64bit Ultimate Edition

Hello Everyone,
I know this is not supported - but I have always been disappointed w/ some of the flaws in the factory installation that came w/ this machine. I experienced screen flickers and network issues w/ my Media Center Extenders which were connected to my IQ770 since I had this machine.
Finally this weekend I decided to wipe out the factory OS and install Win7 Ultimate 64bit - and all devices were recognized in Device Manager along w/ no more flickers or network issues!!! Not to mention that I gain access to all 4GB of RAM, which I upgraded several months ago. So - I'm pretty sure I will be sticking w/ this installation of Win7 64bit, regardless of what I find out here in the forums.
My question(s):
Anyone know of a version of the TouchSmart application that I can download and install on Win7 x64? I have attempted to download a version for another TouchSmart PC but it will not install on this OS.
Anyone else done this - and have you found alternative drivers which work better, over the Windows drivers that came OOB or via Windows Updates?
Thx ahead of time!

Install this first so the system is stable

As for TouchSmart applications you would need to find 3rd party ones. This model only supports single touch.

The Undock button not appeared when we upgrade to Windows 7 64bit

Hello,
I have a problem in my laptop LATITUDE-E6410 after we upgraded the OS from Win XP to Win 7 64bit.The problem is the when i trying to undock the laptop from the dock station,Windows goes to freeze and i have to shutdown it from power button.So i want to make undock from start menu but i can not find this option and also there is not Eject option to undock the laptop safely.When i searched for that problem i found that there is an update for the ACPI but i can not find that update in dell website.So is any help for that ??
Thanks

Hi Sys Support,
Thanks for the post! I would first suggest making sure the chipset drivers are up to date with the latest released on our support site, as this issue started only after updating your operating system its likely this is the result of a software / driver problem.
To help makes sure all of the latest updates are installed on the system you can use the Dell Command | Update Software HERE, This software should automatically scan your systems drivers and install any updates available from our support site.
We have also released several BIOS updates for this unit, some with improvements to docking functionality. Please find these updates HERE.
Let us know how it goes!
