Nvidia under Windows 32

Hello,
I would like to ask whether it is advisable to use the discrete NVidia adapter under 32 bit windows (XP in particular in my case, but also Win7). The reason is that I read somewhere that video memory is mapped into the available address space, thus reducing the already limited (3.5 GB in win32) address space. This would of course be even more critical with the 2GB memory of the NVidia card.
can anyone comment?
thanks,
Chris

I'm not sure what kind of Thinkpad you got since you don't mention any model, but the Nvidia graphics adapter won't use any of your memory since this adapter got onboard memory. The Intel integrated graphics adapter on the other hand will reserve some of the memory since this adapter do not have any onboard memory. So if you want to avoid that the graphics adapter reserve some of the memory you will have to enter BIOS and disable the integrated graphics adapter ( select discrete only). Also using a 32 bit OS a Thinkpad will only give you 3gb of available memory even if you got 4gb or more installed. Using the Intel graphics adapter it might be less since the integrated graphics adapter reserve some of the memory.
Unless you have a very good reason to use 32 bit Windows i would recommend 64 bit because of the limited memory when using 32 bit. It's hard to fint a 32 bit application that won't run under 64 bit Windows these days.

Premiere Elements 9 crashes with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards under Windows 7

I've just installed Premiere Elements 9 and found that it will not run at all with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards active under Windows 7. Per all the other discussions, I updated the NVIDIA drivers and Quicktime support to the latest versions. (NVIDIA version 260.99). I have both a 9400 GT and an 8400 GS installed, to support multiple monitors. They both use the same driver. The PRE 9 organizer will run, but as soon as I create or load a project it quickly crashes.
On a long shot I disabled the 8400 GS card in the Device Manager and now I can run PRE 9. Of course this means giving up one of my monitors. Any other ideas?

Over in the Premiere Pro area (or maybe it was in the Hardware section... didn't pay a lot of attention 'cause it really didn't matter to me) I read a message about using two nVidia cards with no problems (other than no dual-card SLI support)
I **think** that was with two SAME model nVidia cards
And, of course, PPro is completely different code, so PreEl may simply not work with two nVidia cards

Is it possible to switch the graphicscard in mbp from nvidia to intel under windows 8 (like osx do it)?

i want to use sometimes the intel graficscard under windows 8.1 rather than using the nvidia one( to save energie). so under osx the system automatically changes the graficscard on the fly - is this (automatically or manual) possible under windows 8.1or windows 7? if yes, how?! iÄm using a MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 (with nvidia 750m).

Hmm, long story short. Have a look around this site and others regarding EFI installation of Windows. Some hardware will allow it (even through Bootcamp, though they're rare and late-model) and some won't. On the ones that will allow it there can be problems such as no sound, for one.
The main benefit of EFI as I see it is that you can have as many partitions as you wish, rather than being limited to 4 with the normal CSM (bios) Bootcamp method.

Premiere Elements 8 under Windows 7: HOW TO DO?

My system is a MICROSTAR (MEDION) Quadcore 6600(think it's made by MSI) with 4GB memory, 2 x 1TB HD Wetern Digital GREEN (replacing the very poor quality Seagates 2 x 500Gig originaly installed) and running Windows 7 64 and 32 Ultimate. The 32 version was installed especially for PE8
Why I didn't stay with PE7?
Strange enough, PE7 worked perfectly under Windows 7 64bit RC and RTM, but with the Official release of Windows 7 32 or 64 Ultimate, it was finished with the Happy Hour, Crash, crash, crash all the time!
So I downloaded from Adobe a official PE8 and started very happily with it.
But it was CRASH & GO all the way !!!
I have send a few messages to Adobe Contact, which deviated me to this forum so I could spit my poison far from their "Ivory Tower" No answers or help from them. PE8 is paid, so go to ...
I found out immediately that I was one of the many people to regret this "Buy of the Year", but since PE7 didn't work and Windows 7 is so good that I don't want to go back to XP or Vista, I had to find a way to make this SH.. work. Luckily the Forum proposed me a few solutions for which I am very grateful.
After a few editing's with DV (about 3hours long), I am having a little bit more experience with this PE8-pre-beta-thing.
First of all I disabled the GPU-thing in the preferences, then I disabled the "Background rendering".
The Medion computer has a "diet" Nvidia Geforce 8600 so there are no 3D drivers to disable, neither has Windows 7 this Windows Defender, so that could also not be the problem.
Anyhow, these few minor changes seem to have solved a lot of crash problems.
Also, NEVER open a PE7 project in PE8 !!!!! It's really not 100% compatible: no way to render previews and crashes guarantied!
Be very careful in applying transitions and video effects, especially if you start cumulating them. Maybe they will work in preview, but you never know if you will be able to render a film or DVD from it.
For example "camera view" + "Soft edge" ( since I have a Dutch version, I don't know if these are the right names) to make a kind of 3D frame around your image. No problem in PE7, but PE8 doesn't digest it! The only way to render this to a film is to import the project in to PrProCS4 and change the other transitions which are not supported by PrPro with similar ones. Or going from New York to Chicago over Mexico City!!
If you take care of these precautions you can work very satisfactory with PE8, without crashing more then was the case with PE7 (low memory problems)
This PE8 should have been written for 64 bit, so it would have suffered much less memory problems, then now.
Some things I like better with PE8, like the ClipArt's, the Menu's and the new Smartmovie themes, which I create and then edit manually.
Automatic backup creates now 5 instead of one file.
What I don't like:
If you capture in scenes, it's still scene 11 coming after scene 109 etc, instead of counting from 001.
With PE7, you could see in which map the project you wanted to open was situated, here not.
Place of the Project changed, without reason, change for the fun of change?
Making "markers" has become more complicated, without improving. Also changed just for the fun of it?
Can still not capture HDV by scenes, for that I have to use Sony Vegas.
Until now I didn't try to edit HDV in PE8, because I don't trust PE8.
What we really need is for Adobe to bring a major update to fix al these annoying misfits and to make a customer's dialog instead of a one way street policy.
If I find new ways to make work easier and without crashing I will not hesitate to let you know.
Until then, hope this can help you a little bit!
Roald

NO, YOU CANNOT !!!!
If your project was started in PE7 and you import that project to PE8, you cannot, I REPEAT, you CANNOT render this files to a preview.
You wil get the render window, but no counter or anything else will move or happen.
Nothing, rien , nada, niets, nichts!!!!!!
At least not here on neither of the 3 installations which I did under 3 different Windows 7 !!!!

HT3492 mini displayport to vga adapter not working under windows 7

i've read the article above. How can this firmware affect operation under Windows 7 OS? I have a dual boot system and tested several mini dp-vga adapter, all of them seem to either stop working after a while or doesnt work at all. i have a macbook pro 13"(early 2011) and a macmini i5 4gb

I'm having the same problem. When I try to connect to the switch in our conference room (connecting both a flat panel display and/or a projector, both with much higher native resolutions), all I get is 640x480. This is a huge problem to using bootcamp, and I really need to get this to work. I was able to get a higher resolution 1280x800 on a separate, portable display, so I'm wondering if people have the problem with standalone projectors or only with projectors connected to some sort of switch, in my case an Extron MPX423A. I have also tried this in both Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows 7 RC1 (32-bit), with the bootcamp drivers and the latest NVidia drivers, and the behavior is the same all around.

Better Display Driver under Windows 8 than Windows 7 for MacBook Pro Retina?

Anyone happen to know if the display support for a MacBook Pro Retina is better under Windows 8 than it is under Windows 7?
Ideally, I would like to be able to run 2880x1800 at True Color as well as have the HDMI out fuction as a second display (maching the behaviour while booted under Max OS X 10.8).
Under Windows 7, the highest resolution that supports True Color is 1600x1200. This would be okay if that setting did not distort the picture (everything is slightly squeezed). At 2880x1800, the highest color depth is High Color (16-bit) which is, well, not something one can actually use if doing graphics work. On my 27" iMac, 2680x1600 supports True Color as expected.
Also under Windows 7, the display connected via HDMI is not recognized.
I've contected both Apple care support and Microsoft support about this, but Apple referred me to Microsoft and Microsoft referrred me back to Apple.
Thanks,
Warren
P.S. Personally, I think it's rediculous to even attempt to do graphics work under Windows, but tell that to the Windwows based corporate world that I freelance in.

Yes, there is a better display driver for the MacBook Pro Retina while running Windows 7 Pro.
And, the answer is so obvious, that I feel a little silly having started this thread in the first place!
The Windows 7 Professional NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M card need to be installed manually by downloading them from NVIDIA directly.
If you need to do this on your MBPr Boot Camp volume, use this link:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Then, set the pop-up menus based on your MBPr. [Mine were as follows: GeForce; GeForce 600M Series (Notbooks); GeForce GT 650M; Windows 7 64-bit: English (US)]
What tipped me off to this is that the CUDA drivers need to be downloaded manually on the Mac OS X side to take full advantage of raytracing in Adobe After Effects CS6 and CC. As soon as I started to run that installer it dawned on me, "Hey, you probably need to install the drivers on the Boot Camp side as well." And sure enough after doing so, I am able select all of the expected resolutions as well as run 2880 x 1800 at Millions of Colors (32-bit).
I guess I'm showing my nearly three decades worth of being a Mac user where I'm accustomed to having about everything needed included with the OS.

Macbook 15" Pro Retina under Windows 8.1 is constantly overheating because of lack of Iris Pro graphics driver

This issue must have been raised many times already. The problem is that modern Macbook Pros under Windows are limited to NVidia graphics making Intel Iris Pro graphics unavailable. And Nvidia graphics in its turn produces pretty much heat, sometimes to the point when it "boils" on your lap.
As an answer to this i heard that Windows is somehow limited (i honestly doubt this in regards to Windows 8.1) and doesn't support dual graphics and other stuff. Well, then give users an option to completely turn off NVidia graphics and use Iris Pro only. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, there is no way to switch. It requires removal of the BC/Windows and re-installation in EFI mode. W7 has some challenges with EFI mode, but W8+ are much better. If you want to try the EFI method, then
1. Backup Windows and all your files.
2. Remove Windows using BCA (do not use any other tools) - Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac
3. Create a partition of the size you want the Windows to be, using Disk Utility. This should be a Free Space partition.
4. Use the Windows Installer and choose EFI boot from the USB built using BCA.
5. Install Windows. The Free Space partition will be split into a 128MB MSR and the remainder as MS Data which will become NTFS during the Windows installation.

MBP 17" freezes once in a while under Windows 7 64b

Hi,
CONTEXT
I have purchased a MBP 17" a month ago and installed successfully Windows 7 64 bits & all MBP drivers through Boot Camp.
ISSUE
However, once in a while (let's say once every 4 sessions), my laptop just freezes: it can be at start up (before logon screen), or when I'm
working under Windows. There is no way to anticipate this freeze: it just happens.
ANALYSIS
I would assume this is caused by my graphics card (?)
By the way, under Windows 7 Control Panel > Maintenance Center (*), I found a generic warning (twice) about an error on my video card
(*) Sample screenshot (not mine): http://www.notebooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/MaintenanceChevron.jpg
Would anyone have an idea what I should do here? Is the BootCamp NVIDIA driver outdated? Is there any risk to download & install a new driver from the NVIDIA website?
FYI I've browsed previous topics, and couldn't find relevant fix for it.
Many thanks for your help!
Regards,
Nicolas
CONFIGURATION
Default OS (450Go partition): Windows Seven 64 bits with BootCamp
Native OS (50Go partition): Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M et Intel HD
Chip: Intel Core i5, 2,53 GHz
BootCamp: 3.1

Hi PSolt,
Thanks for your feedback.
Actually I've applied a fix found in a different post (see below).
I will now "test" it for a few days to check if it definitely fixes my issue, and will then update this post.
Post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2507994&tstart=0
Solution suggested by opus131:
1. Go to the nVidia driver download page: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
2. Go for "Option1: Manually find drivers for my NVIDIA products."
Product Type: GeForce
Product Series: GeForce 300M Series (Notebook)
Product: GeForce GTS 360M
Operating System: Your OS (I used Windows 7 64-bit)
Language: Your Language (I used US)
3. Download the driver. At the time of writing this, the current version was 260.89, the filename of the download was 260.89notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
4. Start the installation and made sure to check the "clean install" option. The installation should go through without any trouble.
Thanks!

X230T graphics performance under Windows 8

My Thinkpad originally came with Windows 7 Pro, but I have changed to Windows 8 in order to resolve problems with VSS. OOB, both Windows 7 and Windows 8 gave me a "Desktop graphics performance" rating of 5.7. Under Windows 7, upgrading to the latest Lenovo driver improved this to 6.1, leaving my HDD (at 5.9) as the limiting factor in performance. Under Windows 8, however, replacing the Windows driver with the latest Lenovo driver has reduced "Desktop graphics performance" to 5.6! What gives?
P.S. I just discovered a Power Options advanced power setting "Intel Graphics Power Plan", which was set to "Maximum Battery Life" for both battery and plugged in. I changed it to "Maximum Performance" when plugged in, but the Windows experience Index (WEI) for "Desktop graphics performance" remains a mer 5.8.

After you changed the setting to "Maximum Performance" , did you run the WEI test again?

Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

Running DS-5 armcc compiled code (PIC) under Windows EC 2013

Hi All,
i just wanted to know if it is generally (officially) supported to run code that is compiled via the armcc (5.03) from DS-5 under Windows Embedded Compact 2013. Or if this is discouraged (reasons?).
The problem i have:
The bootloader contains some code that must be run during Windows EC Startup. So this code is loaded from the Flash, copied to RAM (reserved and commited via VirtualAlloc and marked as executable) and then the functions are called via FunctionPointers.
The code is compiled and linked as position independent and the stack base register is set accordingly before any function is called via pointer and reset when it returns.
This works in about 9 out of 10 tests without problems. But sometimes i get all sort of exceptions (Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Unknown Instruction, ...). Most (if not all) of the time they occur when the position independent code runs on one of the two
cores.
The code runs on an i.MX6DQ (dual).
If i only enable one core, i can't reproduce the problem (i assume that multicore-handling and multithreading in WinEC 2013 Update 10 is really well tested and works without problems, so this can't be the real reason).
I've thoroughly checked and debugged the code, i'm really sure there is no illegal access or other problem with the code itself.
Could it be a problem to call code compiled via DS-5 armcc? I've compared assembler code that Visual Studio/Platform Builder generates with code that DS-5 generates (but i'm no assembler expert). I can't see any obvious special code that is added by Visual
Studio/Platform Builder (i.e. that functions need) that is not there in the DS-5 code.
Best Regards
Sebastian

So I think you could be able to image some code for ROM from another compiler and without knowledge of Windows CE. However, if the code will be called from Windows CE, this becomes more difficult requiring very careful isolation from the
MMU state, processor state, kernel/user mode, etc. Code that works great when called from the bootloader might not work at all from Windows CE itself. The main problem with mixing code from different compilers is the object file format and conventions for
entry and public names. Very unlikely that you'd be able to "link" code from any other compiler with PB-compiled code.
You might think about the x86 image which can easily call BIOS from the bootloader but which can't even begin to call BIOS from CE itself. The problem isn't the compiler (which is different), but the operating environment differences and assumptions.

JavaSoundRenderer now running under Windows

Hello,
I found out that the JavaSoundRenderer could run under Windows but only if you use Java 6.0 Beta.
So if you've problems of playing audio in Windows then just install the new Java (6.0) and it will work.

Firefox 6 running under Windows 7 64-bit does not render fonts correctly.

The default sans-serif font for Firefox is Arial. Running Firefox 6 under Windows 7 32-bit, the font renders properly, but under 64-bit Win7, the font is too heavy, and bold or strong makes no difference. I run Win7 64-bit on a laptop computer and use Firefox 5 on it, and the fonts render properly. Possibly a Firefox 6/64-bit problem?

Hi strangerland, don't give up hope -- I'm using Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 7 right now.
That said, I understand troubleshooting fatigue and when you find time to think about Firefox again, and have the opportunity to shut down and restart Windows, you might try testing in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, a mode that blocks some external programs that can interfere with Firefox.

Installation problem under windows XP

My PC runs under Windows XP. I want to install LabVIEW. The installer begins to copy files and displays the message "L'application n'a pa réussi à s'initialiser correctement (0xc0000142). Cliquez sur OK pour arrêter l'application). " (I've the french version). If I click on OK, the message appears again, ant the task is very difficult to kill. despite this message, the installation continues to run but never ends. After a moment, there was no more activity. The only thing I had to do was to reboot the PC.
The anti virus was desactivated. I tryed again with the administrator profile but with no more succes.
Could someboty give me some explanation?
Thanks.

Try copying the CD to your hard drive and installing from there. I have never received this exact error but have seen other installations repaired by this procedure. It's worth a try.
