16-bit vs. 32-bit Windows

How can I tell whether my Windows version is 16-bit vs. 32-bit?
Thanks for your kind reply.
Cherie Machler

Describe your OS and your hardware.
In the more modern versions of WIndows (post 16-bit) you usually find a Control Panel that displays such information fairly readily.

Just in case. I have two pc's one with windows 7 professional (32 bits) and another with windows 8.1 (64 bits). Can I use, with one license, as I'm the owner and only user, acrobat standard XI?. Thank you in advance

Yes, the license allows 2 installs for the owner's personal use. You can check this in the license agreement if you wish.

Is there a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system.

I was wondering if there is a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system, because photoshop won't recognize the pen pressure on my graphics tablet (yiynova msp19u) I read that some users got it to work in 32-bit mode on macs, and all my other programs like zBrush, art rage, sketch book pro recognize the pen pressure on the tablet.

well I am going to assume that the application marked photoshop is the 32-bit application, since the other on is marked 64-bit and I don't see one 32-bit. in any case it still not recognizing pen pressure and i have the newest drivers. The only thing I can think of now is that wacom drivers are interfering with it some how since they don't get along, although I was pretty sure i got rid of all wacom software.
Sigh, it's starting to look like I have to format my computer

Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

Windows 8.1 64 bit installs 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) but user would go on installing 64 bit programs which 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) rejects, how to stop this?

For many days I searched for answer of how an Internet Explorer add-on installed because few websites won't run without it, but Windows OS or Internet Explorer itself won't allow install of these add-ons.
Please note following problems:
1. Windows 8.1 64 bit operating system installs 32 bit Internet Explorer 11, but this 32 bit Internet Explorer won't accept 64 bit add-ons which I tried to install for 64 bit Windows 8.1, incompatibility of 64 bit and 32 bit which
I knew already but didn't clicked even on posting forum questions not before 'ORACLE's message in yellow.
2. For 64 bit Windows I kept on trying to install 64 bit add-ons for Internet Explorer, which won't install or would send message 'Incompatible', once default installations of these add-on's are disturbed but not completely uninstalled, new installations
won't be entertained at all, only way is reinstall of Internet Explorer.
3. Therefore I installed Apple's 'Safari', which also displayed same messages, but allowed install of 'Quick Time', and now I listen to my favourite songs on a great sound system of a website.
4. Windows needs correction for this.
Best of Luck.

Use the 32-bit version of IE. All rivals are 32-bit, no need for x64, a browser is not so big.

I don't see any information about IE 11 if it is 32 bit or 64 bit in indows 8.1 either not in about IE or somewhere else! in windows 7 it it is there you can see it

hi,
I have windows 8.1 and windows 7 both installed on my laptop.
when I open windows 7 and go to start menu I see both version of IE 32 bit and 64 bit.
but when I go to windows 8.1 core edition 64 bit ,I don't see IE 64 bit or normal (32bit). I see only IE and when I go to about IE I don't see there any information about IE if it is 64 bit or 32 bit?
I find it strange because I don't know with which version of IE I am working 32 or 64 bit? I know my IE is 11 but I don't know if it is 32 or 64 bit?
h.david

It's complicated :)
MS changed a lot of things with the release of Win8.
By default, 64bit versions of Win8.0/8.1, will never run 32bit IE.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64 and other microssoft x64 OS-s.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64.
All Windows x64 (XP,2003,2007,Vista,7,8) have no support for not system locale filenames|foldernames for all 32-bit applications. I think it is BUG!
For example, it is possible to read files|folders with French or Chinese in English locale windows installed, rename it, but it is not possible open it, edit or delete. (ERRORS: File not found OR Unknown format)
With using 64-bit programs no such problems. How does it works and how can I fix this? Is it problem with encoding in translating kernel instructions for 32-bit apps in x64 Windows OS's? Whether there are
solutions to this problem OR some hacks|fixes?

Hi,
Have you installed the language package for French or Chinese?
If no, please download the language package and install them.

If your system is Core2Duo or better, use 64-bit. 32-bit only sees 3.5 GB RAM max. 64-bit Home sees 16 GB RAM max, and 64-bit Pro sees 192 GB RAM max.

Windows 7 64 Bit or 32 Bit on Boot Camp ?

Hey,
I have the 21.5" new iMac and I've decided to dual boot it with my Windows 7.
I'm trying to decide if I should install my 32 Bit version or my 64 Bit version.
I know you have to have 4 GB of memory or more in order to run 64 Bit but isn't 64 Bit REALLY messed up ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
Quite a lot of people have already installed Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit even without official support from Apple.
The hatter has an ongoing thread full of helpful tips about Windows 7 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1866970&tstart=15
64-bit Windows 7 should be quite fine on your Mac, but as you already know it is only needed if you have more than 4GB RAM and/or 64-bit Windows programs to run.

How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

Answer for problem simply Got it !
Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.

Hi,
Title: Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.
We have windows host x64 bit. Oracle is 10g 32 bit and we want to migrate it to 10g 64 bit. I would like to know the steps. Note 940811 is not clear enough.
Please help.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Hi,
I think SAP Note 940811 is not relevant to your case as far as I understand your case in your previous thread because you are already on oracle 10.2 and there is no upgrade required.
Please check SAP note 192822 and please check below extract from this note:
      5. Can I switch to 64-bit, even though I already run the same oracle release on 32-bit?
      Yes. The only thing that needs to be done is
run del_ora.csh to delete the 32-bit software
install the 64-bit software
start the database.
As the wordsize changes with 64-bit, all pl-sql-predures should be recompiled.
      Therefore please run the following two scipts on db-level:
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql -invalidates all plsql-procedures
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql -recreates the plsql-procedures with the new word size
Thanks

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
