Downgrading from 64 bit to 32 bit

Hi there,
I would like to find out how do I downgrade from a 64 bit to a 32 bit. I bought a Lenovo Essential B570 but alot of software won't run...
Is there a link with the drivers?
Please help, I am battling to get hold of the call centre.
Thanks
Nikki

hi nikki,
here's the link for the drivers but you'll need to run 64 bit softwares on 64 bit operation system. if you are trying to run 32 bits, it won't work.
about downgrading, there are a few threads about it. please, search the forum first, then if you still have some questions, feel free to post it back.
hope this helps.

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.

Downgrading from Win 7 64 bit to 32 bit

I know it's odd, but I have programs that won't run in 64 bit windows 7 but work fine in 32 bit win 7.
I have a G570 (4334) (64 bit win 7) and would love to download or get Lenovo disks for the 32 bit windows 7.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS007940
Looks to be the spot to create such a disk? As I would like to do a clean install of the 32 bit version with the Lenovo drivers and such. I don't know if that will create a disk or not. Nor do I see anyway to order such a disk.
OR could I use my old OEM disk 32 bit win 7 from my old computer and the key from the G570?
I have three computers and three Win7 keys, one for Win 7 64 bit professional, one for Win 7 Home Premium, and the one on the laptop for home premium 64 bit. I know the Home Premium doesn't care if it's 32 or 64 bit.
My laptop is brand new. I've only tried to install my most critical program and it chokes on 64 bit win 7 (it doesn't like XP Mode on my Win 7 64 bit Professional either, but runs beautifully on my 32 bit win 7 machine -- but that one is going to be leaving the state when I give it to my daughter). Anyway, formatting the drive is of no concern to me as nothing critical is on it. Suggestions? Links?
THANKS!

Hello,
Can I ask what the program is that will not run in the 64-bit version of Windows 7?
It is pretty rare to see a program that runs in the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit. Usually it's tied to something like the program installing 32-bit device driver, or having some 16-bit (e.g., Windows 3.1-era) code in it, neither of which are supported in the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
If it's not something like the above two scenarios, than perhaps by finding out more about the program we can find a way to make it work without having to go through the inconvenience of reloading the operating system.

15-f019dx downgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 7 home premium 64 bit: need drivers

Hp Pavilion 15-f019dx downgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Stopped:
Internet driver
Wireless
USB controller
Network Controller
PCI Device
PCI simple communications controller
SM bus controller
maybe other stuff I haven't noticed?
I see others on this forum have had similar problems going back to windows 7. I tried some of their driver solutions that were posted, but to no avail. Can I get some help? Maybe some links to where I can find drivers to help me? Windows update cannot find and automatically install replacement drivers.

Hi:
Looking at the hardware specs for your model you should be able to use all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G2 on your model except the BIOS and firmware files.
Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver and the Realtek RTL8188EE wireless card driver.

Downgrade Windows 8.1 64-bit to Windows 8.1 32-bit on Surface 2?

While this is not the ideal fix for a programming issue we are having, I need to consider all possibilities. Would we be able to gracefully downgrade from a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 to a 32-bit version on a Surface Pro?

Why not run Win 8.1 x86 in a hyper-V VM on the surface?

Hello @HPpowerUser,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you have downgraded your system from Windows 8 (64-bit) to Windows 7 (32-bit), and that your system is displaying a atikmdag.sys. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
According to the available drivers and software for your computer, Windows 7 is only supported for the (64-bit) version of Operating System. To maintain a compatible set of drivers on your system, I recommend downgrading to a 64-bit version of Windows 7.
I hope this helps!

OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

Hi guys,
I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
My question is,
Will the following work?
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
5. Configure the project with the new server
OR
Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

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).

Hi NDK
The host base driver is the same for both Win 7 32 & 64 bit operating systems.

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.

Upgrading Solaris 10 from 32-bit to 64-bit in a VirtualBox VM

Hello,
I am running 32-bit Sol 10 u5 x86 as a guest in a Sun VirtualBox (Vbox) virtual machine on a 32-bit WinXP host with 64-bit VT-capable Xeon processors, and am considering upgrading Solaris 10 to 64-bit using the latest version of Vbox (2.0.0). After installing WinXP Professional x64 and the 64-bit version of Vbox, will I have to completely re-install Sol 10 to get it to run in 64-bit, or is there some way to get it to 64-bit without a re-install? The Vbox forums suggested that I post this question on a Solaris forum, as they don't know the answer.
They apparently also do not know if Windows XP x64 is a compatible host OS on which to run 64-bit guests. They list only Vista, Linux, and OpenSolaris as supported 64-bit host OSs. Has anyone used WinXP x64 as a host for Vbox 64-bit guests? Due to policy, Vista is not available to me on my system/network.
Thank you...

The x86 installer will place both 32-bit and 64-bit code on the disk.
The loader fired by GRUB will attempt to detect the proper hardware and launch the correct kernel.
Other portions of the upgrade could conceivably cause a problem, but having the CPUs go from 32-bit only to 64-bit capable shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to make any changes.

Moving from 32 bit to 64 bit

What is the recommended method to move a RAC cluster from 32 bit to 64 bit architecture with the least amount downtime. I am using NetApp for storage in a 2 node cluster.

You didn't indicate the current version. Anyways, if you are planning to move from Oracle9i to oracle10g RAC, you don't have do anything explicitly, the upgrade process would covert from 32bit and 64bit. Or, please refer to metalink note:62290.1 for pointers on the actual procedure.

Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit on Oracle 9.2.0.5

Hi guys.
I have two question for migration 32 bit to 64 (x86_64) bits on Oracle 9.2.0.5 for SAP 4.7 Enterprise?
1.- When i migrated 32 bits to 64 (x86_64) bits is necesary migrated to Oracle 10 ?
In the note SAP Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64), say that, pag 4:
" Oracle:
=====================================
On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722"
But, in the pam matrix say that support for 9.2.
I confused for the information.
2.- In the case that is not necessary to migrate to oracle 10, i can execute the migration to 64 bits the SAP 4.7 with the procedure Backup/Restore?
I don´t have the new server, the server for the migration is the same. The procedure you want to follow is:
1.- Backup Offline all server.
2.- Delete the server, i install the server on Windows 2003 64 bits.
3.- Install SAP 4.7 on kernel 64 bits.
4.- Restore de backup offline (only data): datafiles, archive log, redo log.
Aprecciated for the help.
Best regards,
Desiré

Hi,
According to Note:814834
#Note that there is currently no 64-bit support for the x86_64 platform
for Oracle 9.2 because Oracle does not provide a 64-bit DB client for this purpose,
and, in addition, 64-bit operation of the DB server is not supported.
This means that this DB version can only be used in conjunction with SAP components on
Windows 32-bit on x86_64 hardware in 32-bit mode.
For more information, refer to the "Oracle" section in the note.
Furthermore, it states 32bit SAP instance can connect ot a 32 bit Oracle 9.2 or 10.2 database instance.
So for your case, its better to upgrade your current database to Oracle 10.2 and then proceed with migration.
