Adding 32bit vs 64bit driver

Hi,
I've taken the sample psli driver and compiled it both as 32bit and 64bit binaries. The initial phase of the 64bit install goes okay, and the init/probe/attach functions are called (i added cmn_err calls). The binary and conf file are in the /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9 directory.
I would also like to be able to build a 32bit binary and load that, but when I put this in the /usr/kernel/drv directory along with its conf file (identical source, identical conf file, identical add_drv parameters), I get the following:
add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root sys' psli
exit status = 0
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: psli
exit status = 11
Warning: Driver (xx) successfully added to system but failed ot attach.
Driver (xx) installed.
But I also don't get any output from my cmn_err calls that I put in init/probe/ attach, so none of these appear to be called.
It is not trying to talk to any hardware, and the body of the attach is commented out to return success to test the install.
Any suggestions on why the 64 bit one can load and not the 32?
Thanks
S.

Hi,
I am sure you would have taken care of this basic things, still
1. Is the system booted in 32 bit mode, when you are trying to load 32 bit driver ?
( check isainfo -v, isainfo -kv, should not show anything like 64bit or sparcv9 ).
2. run the "file" command on 32 bit driver and see it really 32 bit.
# file /usr/kernel/drv/psli
There may be many more reasons apart from this.

Windows Vista Update posts 64bit driver for Qosmio F30 32bit Vista

Hello
Today I've noticed that Windows Vista update is posting the wrong update for one of Qosmio F30 drivers.
I have Windows Vista 32Bit but Windows Update post a 64bit version of the driver.
see the screenshot [Here|http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]
Any idea?

hmm... this is strange ?:|
The Toshiba x64 ACPI compliant driver means definitely a 64bit version!!!
I dont know why the Vista driver update notification reports an 64bit driver for a 32bit OS but usually the 64bit driver shouldn't be compatible with the 32bit OS.
However, the case seems to be clear dont install it if the driver is not designed for your OS.

Acrobat Pro installed on a Windows 2003 32bit server - where's the 64bit driver?

Hello.
I'm still newbie with Acrobat Pro so please bear with me if this is a silly question.
A prospect of ours installed the TRIAL version of Acrobat Pro Extended on a 32bit Windows 2003 server and everything went fine; this server "serves" a number of Windows 7 64bit boxes which are supposed to share the PDF Printer created on the Win2003 server during the installation.
Problem is that when the printer gets shared and clients try to install it, the 64bit driver could not be found.
The customer tried to install the 64bit driver on the Win2003 box but he does not know where to find the correct .INF file for 64bit windows client.
Thanks,
Rob

Two facts for consideration. As I understand it the trail only comes in 64-bit. Don't know for sure since I have never downloaded it, but that is a faint memory.
More importantly, read the EULA carefully before you purchase for the type of application you listed. The general EULA does not allow the use of Acrobat on a server in the manner you have indicated. You have to purchase Acrobat for each machine, not a server. You may have enough that need to use the product that a volume license is in order -- contact Adobe for that. In the meantime, use the Acrobat Trail to test the features and such to be sure it meets your needs (other than the server use).

XP 32bit or 64bit

I am looking to install XP on my MP. Was wondering what the thoughts were on installing the 32bit vs. the 64bit. I will be adding more memory shortly and would like to have all memory available if possible.
If I install the 32bit and I have SP2 is there still any slipstreaming involved? Not even sure what slipstreaming is.
If I install the 64bit, is the install the same as for the 32bit? What drivers are needed and do they need to be slipstreamed?
Can the 64bit be installed on a seperate drive from the OSX drive?
Have any recent updated from Apple changed the way the 32bit or 64bit XP would be installed?
I can't find a step-by-step instruction for the 64bit that doesn't send you to other site with their own way of installing it. I was wondering if anyone here had installed it and has clear and concise instruction on the install procedure and exactly what extra drivers are required. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
thanks for your help,
john

I was wondering, I just got a new Mac Book Pro from the Apple Store (with maxed configuration), and can't decide which version of XP to install, 32bit or 64bit. My main concern is my applications and games. If 100% of them will work with 64bit, then great, were done here. But if there is an iffy here, an iffy there, I'm sticking straight to 32bit.
I would stick with the 32-bit version of XP. I don't know anyone using the 64 bit version, which is a kind of odd hybrid system with not much popular support.
Does anyone know for sure if BootCamp suports XP 64-bit?
If you are interested in a 64-bit system, I would strongly suggest Vista Ultimate, which I am running on this MBP.

OdbcDataAdapter.Fill() not getting all rows from RDB using 64bit driver

I am using VS2012 Pro on Windows 7 (64-bit). I am migrating an older 32-bit VS2008 app to the new environment. I'm building for the .NET Framework 4.5.
The app queries an RDB database and uses the Oracle RDB drivers version 3.3.2.0. When I build as a 32-bit app and use the 32-bit Oracle RDB Driver, the query succeeds and returns all 341 data rows. When I built it as 64-bit and use the 64-bit driver, I only
get the first 101 rows.
Oracle says the problem is in the OdbcDataAdapter.Fill() method. I was able to confirm this. I created an OdbcDataReader and used the debugger to see what was being read, I can see all 341 rows, but when I use the DataAdapter.Fill (or DataSet.Load) method,
the results are truncated to 101 rows. Changing the SQL to query different tables does not change the problem. Below is a code sample:
        private DataSet runQuery()
            string connString32 = @"PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={Oracle RDB Driver};SVR=myserver;DATABASE=ATTACH 'filename mydatabase';CLS=myclassname;uid=myusername;pwd=mypassword;xpt=2";
            string connString64 = @"PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={Oracle RDB Driver 64 Bit};SVR=myserver;DATABASE=ATTACH 'filename mydatabase';CLS=myclassname;uid=myusername;pwd=mypassword;xpt=2";
            string sql = "SELECT person_id FROM person_tab";
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            using (OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connString64))
                OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand(sql, conn);
                OdbcDataAdapter da = new OdbcDataAdapter();
                da.SelectCommand = cmd;
                conn.Open();
                da.Fill(ds, "myDataSet");
            return ds;
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how did you get around it?

Hello,
Since I do not have the RDB database, I made a test with both 32bit and 64bit ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server and query for 1000 records, however, both of them can work fine.
As far as I know, the ODBC is just a component as a bridge to connect the driver and the application and since you are use the Oracle RDB driver, I suggest you posting it to the Oracle forum:

Where can I get a Windows 7 64bit driver for my LaserJet CP1215?

According to the product info, my LaserJet CP1215 is supported under Windows 7 64bit:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01539618&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3422476#N10...
But the driver package available for download is the same whether I select 32- or 64 bit Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3422...

So what do I do, to print to this printer on Windows 7 ??
Help appreciated!

I'm seeing different 32bit and 64bit packages.

Windows 64bit driver - why the silence?

I'm so dissapointed... My girlfriend gave me a gorgeous new ipod touch for Christmas and guess what, no 64 bit drivers. It's not like Windsows 64bit is a new operating system, it's been around for over 2 years! Why should I downgrade and have to buy a 32bit operating system?
To be honest I'm now furious with Apple. I've called them and when you ask when support will be given they 'don't know'! From what I can read this has been going on for 6 months. What do you have to do to get a straight answer from them? Why don't they issue a staement?
I see that they've been hurridly updating product compatability information online to apease the situation and balme it on itunes but itunes isn't the problem - i works fine. From what I can tell, it's that they never released a 64bit driver for the ipod touch or iphone. There's no mention of the lack of compatibility on the packaging or web shops, aren't there something about trade desciption laws? But Apple probably know that they won't have a massive returns problem as we all want iphones and ipod touches so much that we'll wait or find workarounds which is what I'm now spendning my holiday doing. It's a disgrace.

Hi James,
and welcome to Apple Discussions! I suggest that you use http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html to report feedback to Apple. These forae here are for questions about usage of products - which you doesn't seem to have - and for other users - not Apple - answering your questions.
Cheers,
Volker
P.S.: There are no DOS drivers, no AIX drivers, no HP/UX drivers as well, all of them being on the market as operating systems since more than 10 years... dang - logic is not always easy

Distribution kit calling 32Bit or 64Bit executable

Hello,
my CVI app distribution calls an executable that installs a hardware driver. Unfortunately, that executable (DPInst.exe) has separate versions for 32bit and 64bit OSs.
Question:
can the distribution kit (CVI 2009) be configured to call e.g.
"DPInst32.exe" when my app gets installed on a32bBit system, and
"DPInst64.exe" on a 64bit system?
or
What would be an other solution for that kind of problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello Eren,
thanks for you feedback. I don't want to distribute and maintain different versions for 32bit and 64 bit OS of my CVI application, just because a small USB driver of an accessory has two versions. In the meantime, I came up with a different idea.
The distribution calls an executable that
a) checks wether it runs on a 32bit or 64bit OS
b) then calls the correct DPInst.exe version
This is quite easy:
I'm using this example code to check the OS version.
with that I call this code at the end of the installation:
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
   if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
This should do the trick.
Best Regards,
Greg

Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit?

Which is better for my new mac book pro, Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit Ultimate? All I care about is all of my programs and games working properly. And what does 86x mean? Will one version of the bits work faster than the other?

Hi Konnexion,
There is another more important limit with 32-bit versions of Windows, and that is the limit of 2 GBS of RAM per process. Unless some tricks and tweaks are used (which can result in reduced stability), no matter how much physical RAM is installed, a single application can't use more than 2 GBs. This is important for applications that can use large amounts of RAM like video and picture rendering apps, and even some games these days (particularly in Vista).
On the other hand, the 64-bit version of Vista has a number of additional security enhancements over the 32-bit version, such as address-space layout randomization, mandatory driver signing. If you have the RAM (at least 4GBs) and games are not a priority, I would actually recommend using the 64-bit version. Of course, why would you be using Boot Camp, if it weren't for games LOL?

Windows 7 64bit driver support for GX623

Hi, i have GX623 laptop (CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo P8400; RAM: 4GB ), i am interested why there is no Windows 7 64bit driver support for this model ? I really would like to run some 64bit software on it.
If my laptop hardware support it why MSI don't release drivers so my software can also support it. In some 32bit drivers there are some 64bit drivers but still not all for complete functionality.
On some older posts from 2009 I see responses that windows 7 64bit is very new so that's the reason for no driver support but in 2011 surely that is not the case.
Can we expect 64bit drivers for Windows 7 in near future or support for 64bit software isn't planed for this model?

So is it officially GX623 supported for Windows 64bit install because I still don't see any drivers for Windows 7 64bit or maybe Windows 7 64bit don't need any drivers?
Hello anybody here? Anybody working here?

Can 32bit and 64bit clients coexist?

Hello folks,
I have a Windows Server 2003 64bit machine running Websphere 6.0 Express (32bit). Additionally it's running a custom 64bit application. Both apps need to connect to separate 10g databases. Can the 32bit and 64bit Oracle client installs coexist on this machine?
Thanks for any advice!
-Sangamon

To clarify, Websphere needs a 32bit JDBC driver, our custom application needs a 64bit ODBC driver. I've got Websphere working, but I'm having trouble getting the ODBC driver to work. I'm wondering if there's a problem with having 2 clients installed.

Where can I download a Windows 7 64bit driver for the hp CDDVDW TS-L633N on my cpq60-615DX

EDIT --
I neglected to say that I tried updating the driver from the Device Manager device window and the result was a message saying it could not find a newer driver, that the one installed was correct.
Another EDIT
I also did not say that I have uninstalled the device, through Device Manager. Upon restarting the system, the drive was found and software installed but the problem remains.
Original message follows:
System: CPQ60-615DX

In the process of installing some Roxio software, Creator 9, an unusable driver, are part of one, was installed. Now the device is not working.
When I didn't see on the list of devices on Windows Explorer, I went to Device Manager and found that it was flagged with the "problem" icon (exclamation point on a yellow background).
The General Tab Device Status box contains"

It appears that the Creator install installed part of the driver but not one that functions. It might be a problem with Windows 7 or the fact that this install is 64 bits.
I have searched the HP site and can't find a driver for the device. When I look at the list of drivers available for this system, the optical drive is not shown.
I downloaded and installed the HP driver search program - or whatever it is called - and ran it. There were no devices listed on "Optical Drive" tab when I looked at the results - it could not "see" the drive.
I realize that what I need is probably a generic driver from MS, that's why one is not shown on the HP site, but how do I go about finding the right one for this device?
Is there a generic "one size fits all" driver for Windows 7 which can drive this device?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Does iTunes come with 32bit and 64bit install?

I have Windows 7 and it's a 32bit and 64bit Gaming Laptop G73SW.
I've done all the troubleshoot tips, which has just made my computer worse.eg all icons changed, things now missing, so probably have to do a System Retore to get it all back.
Every time i speak to Apple, they're suggestions just make my computer stuffed, iTunes takes over all my programs etc.
Simply put: Does iTunes come with a 32bit and 64bit Install??? If not i won't be using that program.
Which makes it hard for my line of work atm as an Alpha and Beta Games Tester for many Private Platforms i play on.

Adding A New Hard Drive

I've been thinking about adding a second hard drive. The problem is that I'm not sure which configuration would best fit my needs.
Currently I have one 120GB Maxtor SATA drive which, after six months, is half full. This leads me to conclude that eventually I'm going to fill it up.
Since I have only this one drive and no DVD writer, I don't have any good way of backing up my drive in case something fails. I don't have any vital data, but I've spent a long time getting my settings perfect, and I don't want to lose them.
I also know that doing a RAID doesn't give me more space. I know that RAID 0 basically uses two drives in parallel to double the storage efficiency, but if one drive fails, all the data on both is lost. I also know that RAID 1 copies all changes to the second hard drive and thus also does not increase my overall storage space.
What are my other options? If I buy another SATA drive, what ways do I have to copy my entire disk onto the new one? How does XP handle installation on the new drive? How do I switch between drives? I was thinking that I could put all my large music and video files on the new drive and then optimize my old drive for my games. This will still make it possible for me to listen to my music in Winamp while playing a game, right?
How do I install the new drive? Do I have to go into my BIOS and configure something? Here's what it says about my IDE setup (I don't know what IDE means either.)
Primary IDE Master = DVD-ROM
Primary IDE Slave = CD - RW
Secondary IDE Master = n/a
Secondary IDE Slave = n/a
Third IDE Master = Maxtor HDD
Third IDE Master = n/a
etc.
What does Master/Slave mean as far as usage and performance goes? Which SATA plug should I use for the new drive?
Sorry for the silly questions, I've never used a machine with more than one hard drive before.
EDIT: What brand hard disk do you guys recommend? I have in mind either Western Digital or Seagate. I won't have any compatibility or performance issues from using two drives of different make and capacity, will I?
Here's my specs:

Hi. I will try to help with some of your questions. Its easy but time consuming to move/copy files from one hard drive to another. Just drag the files/folders from one drive to the other one. That moves them. To copy them Select them and the select copy then go to the other drive and select paste. With two hard drives its best to set them up as one for system files and apps (your c drive) and one for storage (your D drive). Your optical drives then become e and f. If your case you would leave your current drive as C and the new drive would become your d storage drive. Moving your mp3s, vids, etc (i.e, non-system files or not apps), could take some hours, but that is usually no problem because you can do small numbers of files at a time or do it overnight. By the way you never want to fill up your hard drive, especially your c drive. Always leave 20+ percent free so you can get quick reading/writing to it. Mp3's, vids, pix etc play just fine from your stoage drive and your games play great from the c drive. And you can do both at the same time.
Masters and slaves have the same performance but that only applies to IDE drives. There is no master/slave designation for SATA drives.
Backing up your system files can then be done on your storage drive, but as harib said you can back up the important system files to a CD. Windows provides a backup utility for that. You can also back them up to your storage drive if you want.
If you truly want backups of ALL of your files, including storage, is simply a matter of adding another drive and then copying all of the files to the new drive. Hopefully you would never have both those two drives go bad at the same time.
Western Digital, Maxtor and Seagate are all good drives. You first must decide if your new drive will be SATA or IDE. You might just get another SATA drive for storage, but a lower cost IDE drive of similar capacity for your storage drive likely will be just as fast for for mp3s,etc. SATA really helps on your system drive which you already have.
Installation of drives is a bit more complicated with SATA drives in the sytem but can be relatively easy to do once you decide what drive to get. Don't base your purchase decision on installationo ease.
When you are about ready to install come back to the forum with specific details of what you want to install and someone will be happy to talk you through the process.
Good luck!
