Downgrade win7 from 64bit to 32 bit.

Hi,
Just purchased a T520 with Win7 64 bit. I am anticipating problems with this as we use quite a lot of engineering software (often old) and would be better if we had a 32bit version. Can I get a set of disks from Lenovo for this?

I believe they will sell you some after they verify what came with the serial number you have.

  • Any way to downgrade from 64bit to 32 bit Vista OS

    Is there any option to downgrade 64bit machine to 32 bit vista OS...Most of the application is not working with 64bit and Its hard to keep purchasing all softwares for 64bit machine...

    There are simpler VPN apps than Citrix, Hamachi for example. The compatibility mode is simply a case of right clicking the executable, going to the compatibility tab and setting the options. I've got a feeling the only thing you'll need to do is set the privilege level to Run as administrator. It's nothing to do with 64bit anything.

  • After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD stopped working

    After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD at first worked just fine but after about 7 months it just stopped responding as if the hardware as in the DVD Dive it compatible with Windows 7. I have reinstalled the full Windows 7 that I got from HP but it still has the same problem and when I try a full recovery it  will start to read the recovery DVD but it take way to long like 15 mins just to start reading and it stops reading with error's after about 2 min's into it.
    Were is the errors that I get
    This PC in not supported by the system recovery disc. you will not be able to continue to recover this system with these disks.
    keep in mind that the problem lies with the DVD drive not working and like stated above it will work if Windows Vista 64 is installed so this error message is not the key to the problem just part of it.

  • Unable To Sync After Migrating From Win XP(32 bit) to Win 7(64bit)

    I received a new PC, dual core platform, for XMAS.  However, I received a Com 1 port failure when performing a Hot Synch to upload my PD(,M500) data to Palm Desktop on the new PC.  Palm tech support said there is no USB driver available for the 64 bit OS.  Does anyone have a 3rd party USB driver, or any other suggestions to allow me to do a Hot Synch on my new PC.
    Thx,

    Try to use Windows XP SP2/3 compatibility mode first, see if it works for you. And use Alchemy for the Audigy 2 ZS, FS2004 is making use of Directsound after all. Read the guide for using Alchemy here and here. Download Creative Alchemy here.

  • Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

    Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
    I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and  i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
    *Edited*
    When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
    i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

    More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
    To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach.  A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group.  If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

  • Can't print from IE 8 64 bit version only

    I am running windows 7, 64 home premium.  I have a HP c4599 all in one printer.  I installed all the latest drivers/software from the HP site. 
    I have no problems printing from any application such as word, excel, opera, etc.  I can even print from IE 8, the 32 bit version.  However, if I attempt to print from IE8, the 64 bit version, when I select print and then printer and then hit print nothing happens.  I don't get any error messages or anything.  Nothing gets put in the queue. 
    Does anyone know what the issue is?  Can you not print from IE 8 64 bit?  It is strange that I have no issues printing from any other program.
    Thanks!

    Had the same problem but fixed by using other designated printer as default but printing to the same printer.
    Could print a test page from new 8500 wireless printer and docs from Excel, Word etc but nothing from IE8 using the print drivers for Windows 7-64bit....decided to use old Officejet 7680 printer and it worked for all situations including IE8......compared both  printer test pages and discovered the environment for the 8500 which didn't work was windows NT x86 and the environment for the 7680 that worked was windows x64.......interestingly the driver names were the same, the config file was the same and the help file was the same, etc  but the data file was different too. The data file for th 8500 was hpw185g3.gpd and the data file for the 7680 was hp7600t.gpd. In other words, I select a 7680 printer software to print to the 8500 hardware.
    Recommend you add a 7600 printer choice (or some other hp model) and compare printer test pages printed from the same printer .....hope it works.

  • System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

    Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
    Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
    Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
    Actions on source system:
    a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
    b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
    c) Switched logfiles
    d) Performed offline backup
    Actions on target system:
    a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
    b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
    c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
    Relevant input parameters used:
    Database schema: SAPR3
    Database character set: US7ASCII
    d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
    - copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
    - copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
    - copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
    e) Resumed SAPINST.
    David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
    ORA-12012
    ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
    ORA-06553"
    Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
    shutdown immediate
    startup upgrade
    spool utlirp.log
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
    spool off
    Shutdown immediate
    Startup
    Spool utlrp.log
    @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
    Spool off
    exit
    which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
    Help, anyone?

    > Trying to cheer me up, are you?
    No
    > It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
    True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
    > And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
    No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
    > One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
    The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

  • Loss of quality in conversion from 16 to 8 bit

    Hi, I have a raw image taken with a Canon G12 and converted to 16 bit psd file.  When converting to 8 bit I notice a significant loss of oomph to the image - iI don't know how to describe it but it seems a little washed out, a lack of saturation, contrast or vibrance or something.  Still not bad but not as good.  With 16M colors available in 8 bit images, is this normal or have I got a setting wrong somewhere eg color space etc ?  TIA

    Hi. Progress!  I paid more attention to the conversion process and converted a 16 bit image (with Photoshop CS5 Extended 64bit),
    to 8 bit using the menu Image/Mode/8 bit, and the appearance of the images is identical in Photoshop CS5.  This would seem to rule out monitor issues.
    However when viewed in PSE8,  a significant amount of vibrance/brightness/saturation (for want of a better term) is absent from the 8 bit image.  Alternatively, or perhaps in addition to that, the 16 bit seemed to have MORE vibrance/brightness/saturation than the PSCS5 version. I checked the color settings in PSE8 and I had "Optimize for printing" checked so I changed it to "optimize for screen" and updated thumbnails, and there was no change to the discrepancy between the two copies of the photo in question. Could there be a difference in the way PSE8 displays 16 bit and 8 bit images or the way PSE8 uses information recorded by CS5/ACR 6.3 during the conversion from Canon raw .cr2 to .psd 16bit?  i.e. does PSCS5/ACR 6.3 record in the psd file, the tweaks made during the conversion from cr2 to psd, and this information be used during display in PSE8 somehow?  TIA again.

  • Restarting PXI RT from Labview 2011 64 bit

    I have a customer trying to issue a restart command to a PXI-RT system from Labview 2011 64 bit.  He says the command doesn't work.
    I currently don't have 64bit so I can't test it very well right now.
    Is this something anyone else has tried or experienced?
    Thanks,

    The real-time module is not supported for 64-bit LabVIEW. As a work around, you could install 32-bit LabVIEW onto your 64-bit OS. This should solve your customer's issue.

  • Write data from Oracle 9i 64 bit to Oracle 32 bit through database link

    Hi to All:
    We are using following Oracle 64 bit application.
    Operating System: Sun Solaris 5.9
    Database: Oracle 9i (64 bit)
    Machine: Sun Server Spark V890
    Now my questin is that I want to move data from the production database running in Oracle 9i 64bit on Sun server to Oracle 9i 32 bit on Windows Server 2002 thru database link.
    I heard that it is not possible to write data from oracle 64 bit to oracle 32 bit, no matter what operating system we are using.
    Please confirm me that whether we can write data through database link from Oracle 9i 64 bit to Oracle 32 bit.
    Please specify every possible solution or any site from where I can have the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Upgrading from 32 to 64 bit

    Today was an interesting day.
    I looked at archlinux.org. I saw the warning about KMS and nvidia. I thought "that doesn't apply to me" and proceeded to upgrade. Then I rebooted and all was not well. The screen went black just after udev started. So I played around a bit. I booted a livecd and looked for hints to no avail.
    Then I remember the usb stick with the latest archlinux image and thought "Aha. I'll use that to replace the kernel and other possibly screwed up bits." So I did that (after playing with chroot and mkinitcpio for a while). Then I had more problems. I didn't even get the blank screen.
    It turns out that the image was the 64bit one and my computer had been running 32 bit. So rather than do the obvious and download a new 32bit image or do install 64bit from scratch I continued installing the 64bit packages over the top of the old one. Then I rebooted and it worked but only programs from the base install. Everything else complained about the elfs. So, to cut a long story short, I got pacman to replace every program with the 64bit version and now everything is working perfectly (so far) and is set up exactly as it was this morning (before the upgrade).
    Anyway the point of this is that it is possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit but I wouldn't recommend it
    (I wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't been eyeing 64bit for the larger long doubles)
    oh and for the curious I think that the reason i had the initial problem was that I had nouveau installed even though I wasn't using it so all I actually needed to do was remove nouveau but I only discovered that when trying the 64bit with nouveau. Whoops

    The simplest way to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit is to reinstall your arch, in the hope you have a /home partition. Using a 64 bit version of arch since day 1 of my install and no problem at all on it. Ok, just this crappy flash

  • Print to Laserjet 1020 hosted by Windows 7 64 bit via network from Windows 7 32 bit

    I am trying to print from Win 7 32 bit to a HP 1020 connected to a 64 bit Win 7. (the 64 bit is a new computer).
    I have tried all the suggestions posted:
    Downloaded updated 32 bit driver to the 32 bit PC.
    I have also assigned the printer to a port on the computer.
    I enabled on the 64 bit printing from a x86 computer.
    Nothing helps.
    When I print, the job gets stuck on the computer connected to the printer. When i release the spool, it then prints the page.
    I was able to print when all the PCs were 32 bit (and XP before that).

  • 2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from  an external usb CD/DVD ROM

    My new 2011 MBP MC700 13" cann't install win7 from an external usb CD/DVD ROM,WHY?

    Yes, very annoying. Not unworkable though. We've a bucket load of different external devices too, tried all of them.
    It's not common to one OS either - can't boot OSX DVD, Ubuntu, Win7.... Only way I can is via the internal SuperDrive when it's actually internal.
    Even tried it with just 1 x Hard Disk & an External USB. No joy.
    Obviously not annoying enough for me to try and find a solution I just work around it now. Interesting it's been the same on my last three MBPs though - no problem on both the Air's I've owned.
