Expanding Ram After Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Upgrade???

I am finally setting up my HP Pavilion DV2600 notebook that I purchased 2 years ago (It's a long story!). I bought it with Vista Ultimate 64 bit in spite of Vista horror stories and 4G ram, the max ram that was offered at that time. Since finally(!) getting this computer up and running, I removed all traces of the evil Vista and did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I upgraded the HD to a Hitachi 750G 7200, and I also want to add more ram memory beyond the 4G it came with. What do I have to do to this machine to at least go up to 8G, preferably 16G? Or, perhaps, what can I do...I'm willing to put some money into it to replace some support hardware if this will give the expansion capability I want. Any ideas? And, please do not say, "Buy another computer" because I particularly want to use this one, just with more 'guts'!
     Thanks for any help with this, & Cheers, /Dr. Cid 

Hi:
If your PC has the Intel 965 chipset and an Intel processor, you should be able to install  8 GB (2 x 4 GB pf PC2-6400) memory.
Try one 4 GB chip at at time. If it works, buy the second one.
If it has the AMD processor and nvidia chipset, the best you can do is 4 GB (2 GB x 2 GB).
See this related post if you have the intel processor and chipset:

  • Installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit upgrade version on an Apple MA877FN/A

    Hello all,
    I've an Apple MA877FN/A running Vista 32 bit and Mac OS X 10.5.8
    I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit upgrade version (student license) on my machine.
    Is this possible?

    Custom clean install.
    If it is shipped as .ISO burn the DVD in Vista, if you use Apple DU then burn at reduced 2x speed.

  • Upon Launch After Effects Pro CS3 Crashes - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    I recently installed the 32 bit version of Adobe After Effects Professional CS3 (and later applied the 8.02 Update) on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit computer (Service Pack 1 - 12 GB RAM). It's installed (along with all of my other applications) on a 256 GB solid state drive.
    Shortly after launching the application (as it begins to load), the following message appears:
    After Effects Error: sfntread library error  (83 :: 4)
    It continues to reappear several times after clicking 'OK'.
    Then a final error message appears just before the program aborts its loading process and crashes:
    After Effects warning: unknown BIB error, sfntread library error  CT, 0
    I currently have the complete version of Adobe Design Premium CS5 also installed on my Windows system. No problems occurred with its installation and all of the programs within the suite launch and load properly as expected. The only other Adobe CS3 application that I also installed before installing After Effects CS3 was Premeire Pro CS3 which also installed, launched and loaded properly with no error messages appearing during the entire process.
    I did an initial search here on the forum using the error messages but did not find a solution that is workable with my particular operating system (64 bit) and the 32 bit After Effects Professional CS3 application.
    Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's a page that might be useful:
    http://aeerrors.myleniumstuff.de/?p=370
    Note that Windows 7 is not listed as an operating system supported for After Effects CS3:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/836/cpsid_83637.html#main_After_Effects_CS3_system_requirements
    The application was written, tested, and released before Windows 7 was available.

  • Update from windows 7 ultimate ( 64-bit) hungs after setting up 9%

    I tried windows 10 to install clean on a Pc and also as VM. It works fine
    Now I tried to update a company PC with a lot af applications. The OS is windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    I seems to go very fine, but after restarts and starting with setting up, the first time I hungs after 13% and I did a roll back.The rollback was functioning execelent. I checked the space on the hard disk, which was 11,5 gigabite. The update says that it
    needs only 6 Gb. I tried to update again and it hungs again, now by setting up at 9%. Nothing is showing up with action on the hard drive, and it is not possible to see what the setting up is doing, cq what is its problem.
    Knows someone what to do and what maybe cause the update/setting up problem?

    Thanks Roger. I had to let it be for some days because of other work
    Today I tried again, becouase I got an update from microsoft ( automatic ) on the windows7 PC.
    The problem seems to be the raid. After the first restart ( after 4-9% of configuration) one of the raid drives isn'r anymore in the raid and the computer cannot boot. After repair of the reboot and shut down and startup again the PC, The Wndows 10 installation
    software repairs automatic the ols windows 7.
    I looked in the setupact.log file and here is the result:

  • CS4 Suite fails to install on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I just built my Intel i7-980x Workstation with 12gigs of ram a PNY Quadro FX3800 GPU and a 160 SSD.  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  I then began installing my CS4 Production Premium Sutie onto my new Workstation, but the install, after the 4th disk, displayed and error message that said "Done, but with errors."  I can't load the screen shot since Adobe won't allow attachments.  I called TS, but they couldn't help.  I then look on this forum and found people having the same "Language packages" not installing on their XP/Vista machines.  So after turning off the firewall with no anti-virus it still would not install correctly.  Funny thing was I could launch Pr, Ae and Soundbooth, but not Ps, Ai or Fl.  I went to the Windows 7 website to see about the "Public" folder and this location http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Sharing-files-with-the-Public-folder shows you how to turn it back on as Win7 disables it; at least the Ultimate version does.  I attempted the install for the 4th time (I removed it every time prior to the next try) it finally worked.  Tech support needs to be on top of these things, but thank God for this forum and people sharing their experiences.  Hope this helps someone else

    Ankit: you should really use code blocks when giving typing or copy/paste instructions.  This forum software keeps inserting random blanks and/or linefeeds into normal text, so when the user copied your instructions, the blanks were copied as well; thus the command failed.
    Example:
    Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> type  "cmd". In the section above you should be able to see a command.exe.  Right click on the same and select Run As Administrator)
    In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
    cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f
    The 'i' and 'ii' in the list above will probably be replaced by the forum software by something else (possibly 'a' and 'b') when I click the Post button.

    I hope that copying the contents while in Windows to a folder and navigating to specific drivers.... isn't a secret.
    Some people will have to use Troubleshoot Compatibility (or change Properties on the installer).
    OS X DVD( Boot Camp\Drivers )open BroadCom folder and click on BroadComNetworkAdapterWin7_64bit.
    But not everyone even with that can get their Broadcom drivers working.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

  • Adobe CS3 installation problem in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I cannot install Adobe CS3 Production Premium in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (fresh clean install). I have tried everything, including turning off the anti-virus software. It just pops up asking if I want to allow the installer to make changes to Windows, etc and when I click yes it just closes and does nothing... Has anyone been able to get CS3 installed in Windows 7?
    The only reason I have a fresh install is because my Ultra CS3 that I had loaded in addition to CS4 package timed out after 30 days and I really need to get access to Ultra CS3 to finish this project. I was planning installing just one app (maybe Photoshop CS3) from the CS3 install so that I can enter my CS3 Production Premium reg info in the system so tat Ultra CS3 will work. I can just start over and do another 30 days with the Ultra in DEMO mode (it does not tell you it's running in demo mode by the way!) and finish this project, but I was looking for a more permanent solution. Once I put CS4 back on, the CS3 package installed over it...
    Does anyone knw what to do in this situation? i.e. Could I install it into a Windows XP Pro 32-bit edition and perform and UPGRADE to Windows 7?
    Has anyone else ran into this inability to install CS3 in Windows 7? I am running the CS3 install from the Adobe folder on the desktop that it maes when you run the files downloaded from Adobe.com - I get nothing. The task manager shows something open for a split second and then closes right away?! This is very frustrating.  I have even run the CS3 clean script just in case. Any help would be appreciated!
    -BC

    i had issues installing cs4 products, my reponse to others with cs4 issues may help you:
    i see 216 others have posted questions on this issue on this forum from searching "setup.exe", including myself, so i'm just responding to the recent ones.
    i recently downloaded trails of flash cs4 and web premium package cs4 (took a day to download at high speed starbuck's internet). couldnt get the setup.exe to work or the uninstaller to work. surfing tech support over next couple weeks to try various agents was useless and expensive until i finally reached someone with useful info. all the agents had foriegn accents and read from scripts and web support pages until yesterday, when i reached a guy who told me two things i'll report to various forums addressing this same issue:
    1. download the "windows install clean up" program from window's website (google: windows install cleanup) to uninstall everything adobe. then go through your folders to erase any adobe remnants. this program is different from the uninstaller that doesnt work in the programs and features area of the control panel when you try to uninstall adobe products from there.
    2. windows explorer 8, the newest version, DOES NOT download adobe software properly and leaves things out, causing all sorts of issues including the setup.exe program not working. download firefox browser from mozella (google: firefox) and use it for all adobe downloads. apparently the old windows explorer 7 will work, but if you already have explorer 8 installed its easiest to just use firefox.
    i'm spending the next couple days downloading the 4.14 G web premium trail with firefox and will report if this works.

  • ITunes 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I have a relatively new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have not moved the "Music Folder" to a new location. I have moved the "My Documents" folder to a new location tho. Inside of the "My Documents" folder, I see folders named "My Albums" and "Music Lyrics", but no "Music" or "My Music".
    After installing the 64-bit version of iTunes, I get the following error.
    The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required.
    The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
    I have researched and seen many references to this error and Windows XP, but nothing for Windows 7.
    Ideas?

    Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
    But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
    Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
    Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

  • "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS.  It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up.  First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
    her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally.  I got her a new  internal DVD burner and it worked for a while.   during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away.    Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
    launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it.   Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working".   No matter what I click the error
    keeps looping.  No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating.   I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
    I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix.   I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system.   To no succcess.
    At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that.  For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing.   When I finished updating  driverss though the error  came back.
    Please Help  as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.  Error code is 2330.  Can somebody please help me?

    I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop.  Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330."  Can somebody please help me?
    System configuration:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
    Version:  6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    System Directory:  C:\Windows\system32
    RAM:  1.00 GB.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp

    I am using a 17" MacBook Pro with and Intel i7 2.66 GHz processor, 8GB 1067 MHz RAM and a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp. I do what Boot Camp tells me to do, but when my MacBook Pro restarts to boot from the Windows 7 disc, all I get get is a white screen! I have tried to boot manually from the Windows 7 disc, but it won't boot. It freezes on the white screen and I have to reboot the Mac using the Mac OS X partition. How can I fix this ASAP so I can install Windows 7? I need to get it done TONIGHT! I just found out that I am running the 3.0.2 version of boot camp on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 version. Is this the problem? Do I need to update my Boot Camp Utility? If so, how do I do it or do I have to install Windows Vista first since the update is a .exe file?

    It is the Windows 7 64-bit disc that came with my Dell a while back, but I no longer have that Dell. I have also tried using my Vista Ultimate 64-bit disc and my Windows XP Pro SP3 disc, but none of these worked. Same result - white screen. All of these discs came with my previous PC computers that I used to have, but I no longer have those PCs. Only their discs. Is using discs that came with other computers for those computers the problem? Do I have to use a Windows disc that has not been used before?

    The disks that come with PCs most often include only the drivers and applications required by the PC they were made for. You can not use these disks to install on other than the original hardware.

  • Boot Camp not able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit!!???

    Guys I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 & I'm having a problem installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit through boot camp. When I insert the windows installation disc it creates the partition but as soon as it restarts to proceed the installation, it hangs up there saying 'No Bootable Device. Please Insert Installation Disc and press any key to continue'. But when i was previously using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I installed Windows 7 using the same disc and it proceeded without any issues. Can any body give me a solution to it please because I want Windows 7 in boot camp and I do not want to use it in any virtual machine like parallels desktop!!! I AM USING iMAC 2010 so its quite new!!!!!!    

    I am having the same problem. I have a very recent 27" iMac 3.4g i7 and I am trying to install Windows 7 64bit upgrade.Also running OSX 10.7.2. It also stalls out after expending files reporting that there are missing files with a error code 0x80070057. I was trying to install a fresh complete version but had bought the upgrade.. I had vista on another machine but had taken it off and was going to use the key for the upgrade. No windows had as of yet been installed. I later tried to install Vista as a way to upgrade to Win7,which went ok, but when I tried to upgrade to Win 7 64bit, I couldn't. I have tried this multiple times without success and have removed the boot camp partition after each failed attempt... Any Suggestions?? Thanks in advance

  • Clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on Qosmio X870

    When I received my laptop (Qosmio x870) I immediately uninstalled its OS since it was filled with bloatware and installed a clean version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. After my install I have been trying to install the drivers on my laptop, but some don't seem to be working.
    My VGA driver has installed, but the windows experience index for my graphics is 5.5 which is much lower than it should be (if memory serves right it was 7.4 before I uninstalled the original bloated O.S). However, the biggest problem I have come across is the Network driver. I have installed every single network driver on Toshiba's driver page for the qosmio x870, but none seem to work. For some reason the laptop thinks my wifi is turned off, which I know is not (unless there is a setting in bios which should be changed otherwise I really don't know).
    I really need some help here guys, if someone can point me to the EXACT drivers I absolutely need it would mean the world to me. Toshiba should really have a bundle of essential drivers, like most other computer companies have, it makes everything so much easier for people who hate the bloated O.S that comes with their laptop.

  • P45 Platinum, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB DDR2 PC8500 Problem

    Anyone else experiencing this problem? or have a solution.
    I tested Windows 7 Beta; I basically built a computer to test it.
    Intel Quad Core P6600
    MSI P45Platinum Motherboard Supports Max of 16BG & BIOS updated to current
    4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF (Native 1066MHz Overclocked DRAMS)
    500 GB Western Digital SATAII
    HIS HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 Video Card
    No problem with Windows 7 Ultimate Beta 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 and finally Windows 7 Ultimate – Retail (RTM) 64-bit Boots in 15 seconds.
    So I figure if 4 GB is great, then 8BG should be spectacular, So, I purchased an additional 4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF memory and installed to fully populate my 4 dual channel slots.
    To my dismay, my system boot time increased to 30 seconds and then the system became unstable and exhibited random crashes with all sort of page file and system errors.
    I removed and swap the new 4GB memory for the old it boots and operates fine.
    So then I thought maybe it was bad memory so I interchanged new 4GB for the existing 4GB and it worked fine. It seem to be an issue with installing more than 4GB.
    I then searched the Internet for a solution and discovered this 8GB issue is a known problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with no solution in sight.  Some seem to think it is a hardware issue and other seem to think its an software issue with Windows 7 Ultimate – 64-bit.
    I have seen some info indicating that installing 8GB of DDR22 PC-6400 doesn't have the problem.
    Thanks in Advance

    The MB specifications state clearly that 1066 and above is OC only.

    Overclocking
    This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make
    sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while

    That means its up the user to determine if they want to try/risk the OC condition. No stability is guaranteed. Every manual states that OC is not recommended and at your own risk, possibly voiding the guarantee. How much more should the manufacturers do in terms of stating what is regarded as OC and that its risky? All the P45 chipset boards with DDR2 state the same in terms of 1066 being an OC, no matter from which manufacturer.
    Yes, with tweaking some are lucky to run at the OC speeds, but probably above the chipset, Ram and CPU recommended voltages. The more memory you add the more stress on the memory controller and subsequently an increased chance of instability, especially at the OC speeds.
