Cwimaq active x contol on windows 7 x64
I am trying to use some C# software that was written to use the axQWIMAQ activex control to capture cameralink on windows 7 x64. This software was orignally designed for XP. When i try to do this, I get a COM exception at initialization saying that the control is not registerd. When i try to regsvr32 the dll that i reference in my C#, I get an error about no entry point. Any Thoughts? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.
CWIMAQ is a legacy component that has been replaced by a native .NET assembly that you should be using today.
However, I suspect your issue is that your .NET code is running in 64-bit mode (by default it is compiled as AnyCPU). Since the ActiveX component you are using (and the current .NET assemblies) are all built as 32-bit-only, it cannot load them if the app is running as 64-bit. You should change the compiler option to build as x86 instead of AnyCPU and it should fix it.

I am not able to download an ebook to my PC. I have windows 7 x64. I get a "Check Activation" error. The question is that I have 2 Adobe users. I have the ebooks associated to one of them but every time I download Adobe Digital Editions, independently from what user I download it, it always create the Adobe Digital Editions associated to the worng user. If I try to delete the Authoritation it says that it is nor posible and recommneds me to try later, but I never get it.
This is a user-to-user forum, and although Adobe staff make occasional appearances here, there is no guarantee that you will get any "officila" Adobe feedback.
If you have difficulties to install the online installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, then download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then run it after closing all browser windows. -
ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64
iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
Getting the following error message:
Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
Please advise.

<edited by host>I am using Windows 7 x64.
I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
I am running Mcafee.
I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

Wireless issues with MacBook Pro i5 in Boot Camp Windows 7 x64
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro i5 15''. I'm usually connecting to the 802.11n 5Ghz wireless network of my Time Capsule when running OS X, which works absolutely fine. When running Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp though, this network can't be found and I have to connect to my secondary 802.11g network of an AirPort Express. Even this network connection usually dies after a few minutes of intensive use though (copying files, playing online games; it's fine with low activity like web surfing). It still appears connected normally, but no data is being transmitted. I have to reset the wireless adapter to get it to work again. The same network works fine for any OS X device.
The Windows drivers for the Broadcom chip in this machine seem really flaky. Anybody else have these problems or maybe a solution?Yes, sorry, the Boot Camp area would have been a better place to ask. After some more googling I found a helpful thread though, which led me to download this driver package:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem= ob-80585-1&lang=en&cc=us&idx=3&mode=4&
From it I installed the driver called "Broadcom 43225 802.11b/g/n", and presto, I can finally use my 802.11n network under Windows. Hope that's helping other people that may have this problem. -
Itunes 11.1.4 update on Windows 7 X64
My "automatic update" running on Windows 7 X64 for iTunes just "bombed" with errors. The first and repeated error was a c++ related error 6304 which occurs when there is an incorrect or missing "manifest" for an attempted install. The second was a 1114 Windows error telling me that the install failed. After this occurred, I was unable to either use iTunes which had been working or to complete the install manually. I'm now without control of my downloaded content, my appple TV and my own extensive library of mp3 and other files which had been registered with iTunes. My attempts to follow posted directions to complete a "clean install" of iTunes for a Windows X64 system have only led to more problems! Since none of my Apple hardware is any longer under hardware warranty due to its age, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I can't get iTunes to work so I can't maintain my iPad, or serve content to my Apple TV! This *****! I have older versions of iTunes installed on older Windows XP and Vista computers which do not take advantage of the X64 hardware I would prefer to use to maintain my library and run my media server for the Apple TV which I've been using to serve content to my Apple TV for years.
When I try to follow posted directions to remove certain directories in the Windows Program Files (X86) directories to get a clean install, I find the files locked by running programs, some of which help support the x86 browsers I run in addition to Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 for X64, so I'm not about to raslhy try to blow away all the software I ever got from Apple just to get a good reinstall of iTunes. Can anyone gvie me suggestions. I'm quite computer literate and a retired software applications engineer.I managed to take the "reinstall route" too.... Here's the lates diagnostic report from my system. I had to unistall the 32 bit drivers which Apple leaves lying around which are booted by default in Windows 7, reboot, then do a full reinstall not by downloading the full package and attempting to run the installer via the download, something that had failed a couple of times, but by "running" the installer directly from the web. The successful install was actually executed from a 3rd party web site, not directly from Apple, something that I am normally loath to do. Here's what the installed package says:

This is the second successive release that has given me fits. I'm of the opinion that the problem may have something to do with the need Apple feels that they must have their various "acceptances" of terms and conditions re-authorized on each successive version, or a poorly managed gradual migration of components from the 32 bit code base to the 64 bit code base that causes pathing problems when the automatic updater runs in this Microsoft "hybrid" 32 bit or 64 bit environent. At any rate, uninstalling iTunes completely seems to have had only minimal impact on my library. I did notice that the successful install paused and seems to have executed code which may have updated the structure of my library from that left behind after I unistalled the previous 11.1.3 version. I wish they would do a better job of testing their automatic updating procedure for us poor 2nd class citizens. I'm not going to scrap my newest intel based system just because their software testing folks focus first on Apple's version of the world. -
X200: CPU frequency scaling not working in Windows 7 x64
Hi there, this is first posting here. Trust this issue has not been addressed before--if it has please redirect me to the post where this discussion happening.
Here is my hardware: X200, P8700, 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM, 7454-32U
I have just upgraded my RAM from 2GB and clean installed Windows 7 x64 (came with XP x86). I have also loaded all the drivers including the power manager driver and power manager from IBM/Lenovo support/download site. all hardware is working fine.
My only problem is that the fan is always on--running at about 3340RPM and blows all the time--temps are at around 42-46C. I have noticed that the CPU is quite, but firing at max all the time--does not scale down when no activity. tis happens when I select "power source optimized" on battery and on AC.
I have noticed that when in XP 32-bit, the CPU will come back at rest to 786MHz--and go up when needed.
Could someone please help me figure out what is goin gon here? I am so tired of looking and posting on other forums that I am about to go crazy. I love this machine, but my only issue now is this.
I have also checked the BIOS and set the CPU to "automatic" and Speed Step is on. I am using the latest BIOs version v3.11 Dec 2009.
Please help me.
Regards
SHi Jessica Thank you for the reply and also pointing me to the Upgrade Advisor links-Here is the output for the 64-bit Windows 7 Compatibility assessment--as you see there are no issues with Hardware compatibility. Also I have downloaded all the applicable drivers from Lenovo. The problem still persists.
if you could link me with the direct access to the power management related drivers from lenovo, ACPI and BIOS drivers I will appreciate a great deal. Also to mention, I have upgraded the BIOS Feb 2010 release, and also the Power manager driver to v3.12 (no fixes in fan speed and CPU freq scaling I am afraid.)

Reinstall of Windows 7 x64 on WD 750 HDD and set up of m-SATA Caching
I am sorry but non of the above have any answers to my question.
A Tech from my OEM ran Disk Part in 12/13 thinking that it was a bad image. Unfortunately now no one can fix the Window 7 x64 install as MBR disk using the UEFI Bios.
I have called Microsoft Answer Desk have a Prem account. And most of the time I am told that the only way to run the install is to use the system in AHCI.
This of course take out the Intel RST and I can not configure the m-SATA and use 64GB as a cashing device.
When I call Intel the gave me a case number but after two days they said that after before I run the OS install to change the BIOS from AHCI to Raid. Reset the drives from Control I then run the install from the OEM USB.
This is the guide they asked me to use:
1.Set the BIOS from with SATA mode to RAID
2. Install the Windows 7x64 from either the USB which as all Alien software or the Windows DVD
3. If installing from the DVD once Windows Installer comes up go to F6 and install the INf files for the Controller for the in order to load the drive Partitions.
4. Delete all the Partitions and run the Windows Install
Having the USB to install from I don't need to do the above process.
What no one is telling either from the OEM, Intel, or Microsoft is when I am in the BIO's where do I run the install from. Is it the Legacy cd/dvd or the Legacy USB.
Or do I use the UEFI DVD which clearly spells out the name and type of dvd,blue Ray drive I have.
Or do I use the UEFI USB which again spells out the type of drive it is.
Every time I use the UEF I DVD or UEFI USB the system will install the disks as GPT and this is a major mess.
There is one more option no one is explaining and that is if I install using the Legacy DVD or USB the is another line in the booting section of the BOIS that sets the system as a boot UEFI BIOS. This can be changed
to a legacy bios and I can still keep the OROM which is the Control I needed for Caching the m-sata.
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL AS TO WHICH PART I HAVE RIGHT AND WHICH PART I NEED TO CHANGE. IF EVERYTHING IS WRONG PLEASE SEND ME INSTUCTIONS AS TO THE CORRECT PROCESS.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SYSTEM FOR SO LONG NIGHT AND DAY. READ EVERYTHING I CAN FIND ON THIS FROM TECHNET TO INTEL AND SERVERAL TECH FORMS NO HAS THE ANSWER AND I HAVE A $3500 UNUSABLE SYSTEM
Thank you so much for letting my post.

Sincerely, Frances SteeleDue to the Disagreement between a few OEM techs some of them insist that I install as UEFI with GPT and yet other insist I use Legacy. So the problem starts with setting up the BIOs correctly.
When the system was received in Oct 2013 the Boot options began with Windows Fast Boot = Disabled
I had both options at that time of Legacy or UEFI
I must admit I don't remember if OROM was enable or disabled.
I have both options and I can find am unable to clearly define which options is best.
So I have made many phone calls to the OEM requesting help with this set up.
I am certain of at this point is that when they sent me a USB that was for
Windows 7 with out SP1 the system installs and the drives are formatted as MBR. The best part of this USB is that it had the correct Alienware software (AlienAutopy & Alien Respawn) both import
to this type of system.
I am also certain that when I use the USB that Alienware sent me with
Windows 7 SP1 it is clearly installing as GPT using UEFI install. I found and have a copy of the master install script that shows this action. So what I find is that when I use the USB with out any action from
me the system is automatically installed in the way. This USB doesn't have any of my drivers nor did it have Alien Autopy or Alien Respawn.
I got so tired of the back of forth misinformation I have been receiving, that I request that I pay for a 1 TB completely Imaged drive that match my system.
I received it on 4/02/14 along with a the World Wide Tech service came to install it. My first question to this tech before he even touched the laptop was, do you understand that I had a m-SATA
installed and do you know how to set up the BIOs for this.
His answer was that this was not his job. So I asked him to please wait before he installed the drive and let me call Alienware to confirm that the BIOs was set correctly and what we needed to do in order for the Operating
System to be installed correctly.
His answer was that he didn't have time. I had to let him do his job and install the drive.
So I did. Right after the install I new something was not right so I began copying every file I could find that contained drivers, Sysprep, all logs the complete System 32 Windows files and SysWOW Files.
After the first reboot I found that Alienware Respawn was not installed. So because I knew were to get it from I downloaded it. After trying to install the software I received and error message that stated that since it could not find a Windows Recovery
Enjoinment that it would not install.
I noticed that the system was formatted with the disks as MBR (I checked this under Device Manager and clicked on the HDD under Properties it showed that is was MBR)
There was a 38MB OEM partition - a 750MB Recovery Partition - and the rest of the drive was for the Operating System.
Because I made a copy of all the logs and files before the reboot I was able to go back and find the under Panther the original I found the Setupact file it is 908 KB and I wish I could sent you an attached copy of it because it has a lot of information
that would help in how the drive was installed.
Remember I told you that the Tech only allowed me to make sure that OROM was enable and that SATA was set to RAID so I was unable to set the boot to Legacy or UEFI. So from this file as you will see there are a number
of errors it would seem that that the drive was installed as UEFI. (Although everything I have read on the subject states that a UEFI install automatically formats a disk to GPT) So this is why I am so very confused.
Because I can not attach the file here and am going to copy and past some of the items that give me this impression:

Now of course there is so much in the file I have skipped around and just pointed out the parts where I am hoping you will see installing legacy drivers and software were being skipped.
I called Alienware back and requested a level 2 tech I explained the situation and received a new 1 TB imaged hard drive today.
As I explained to the tech on the phone who again was uncertain if the BIOs should be set to UEFI or Legacy. I told him that we should try installing the drive with both USB's another possibility is to use Acronis Universal Restore and reinstall
from the backup that I made of the 1TB drive that is currently in the System now.
My worry (which I am most certain is valid) this that if we just drop the new drive in the system which making sure which BIOs setup is the most appropriate another Windows 7 x64 SP1 Ultimate will be destroyed. Because there is not
way to change the system from GPT to MBR or legacy to UEFI without having to reinstall the OS.
I have to admit that after 7 reinstalls on my own for one system I am really getting pretty sick and tired of working on this laptop. If I had the money I would make the purchase of an Origin PC in a heart beat but that would be $3200 that would match
the specs of this system.
I couldn't see the Recovery Partition so I Installed Acronis True Image 2014 Prem, and Backed up the disk. With this installed I was able to open the 750MB what I found was 1 folder for System 32 that has a folder with the name Recover but I am unable
to access it. was empty, 1 folder with the name Windowsre, in this folder there are 2 files one boot.sid and one winre.wim
I am not sure what you can do with any of this information but honestly any help would be most appreciated. Before Thursday 04/10/14 when I requested the tech who I spoke to today to return my call. At that time I am suppose to test out 3 or 4 difference
ways to install this drive and see if I can not find out what I am supposed to have in place for the BIOs before he helps me install the new 1TB HD. (which is the easy part)>

Firefox 20-22 on Windows 7 x64 unresponsive after Hibernation (Suspend to Disk)
Since Firefox 20, Firefox keeps unresponsive after using Hibernation mode (not Stand-By, Not Power Save) on 2 of my Windows 7 x64 systems (most recent Java, Flash & Operating System updates). Even in Safe Mode.
The problem is, that none of the elements respond to clicks ( site itself, tabs, menu-bar, close, toolbars,status bar, minimize maximize etc.) or scrolling nor does firefox react after killing the plugin container or flash player via the task manager. Seldom (1 in about 20 times) a "script unresponsive" dialog showed up without effect when selecting "Stop Script".
The problem seems independent from the site opened (be it Google, Facebook, plain HTML sites without any active content) and also independend from the number of sites opened since it shows the behaviour even if only one page is opened.
The one strange thing is that one is able to save all currently opened tabs by using CTRL+SHIFT+D. "The Save All Bookmarks-dialog" immediately shows up and has absolutely no responsiveness issues.
The problem persists until you force close it via the task manager and restart it.
Things i tried:
- Wait for 20 Minutes
- Power Save Mode (Stand-by that reacts on mouse movements) -> Problem not occuring
- Firefox Safe-Mode -> No positive effect
- Reinstall Firefox -> No effect
- Reinstall Flash & Java (x64 Versions)
- Machines are:
Lenovo U410 (Core i5, 8GB, SSD, Firefox on HDD) &
Custom System (Core 2 Duo E8500, 4GB RAM, 256GB Samsung SSD 830 (Firefox on SSD), 2x2TB Seagate Barracuda Green)I've had a similar problem since upgrading to Firefox 22 on Windows 7 x64. After resuming from hibernation, Firefox appears unresponsive; however, I believe it is a problem with redrawing the window. If I click to a different tab, nothing happens, but if I minimize Firefox and restore it, it now shows the new tab I switched to. If I have a video open and I click play, there is no visual change, but I hear the sound start. The normal functionality is resumed when closing Firefox and re-opening it.

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????
If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5. If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version. Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say. -
Interrupted Installation - Acrobat XI Pro - Windows 8 (x64)
Hi -
I am attempting to install a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 8 (x64). I use the Adobe Download Assistant to download the files and initiate installation (choosing to save the files to my desktop). I choose "use trial or subscription" and the installation wizard begins; however, each and every time the wizard ends up "rolling back" and ending with a message that the installation was interrupted. It does not indicate what the interruption was, so I cannot figure out how to solve the issue.
Other possibly important info:
- running Bitdefender Internet Security
- have already run the acrobat cleaner tool to ensure any partial installs have been removed
**new development: I can no longer get past the Use Trial or Subscription / I have a serial number screen.Yeah, you botched your activation. Nothing you can do at this point. It will only ever work if you buy it (ignoring your technical issues for the time being).

Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox
Hello
It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
Also a new and strange and disturbing function has appeared.
In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.Hello
Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.
