Operating Systems 64 bit /32Bit...

This is probably a stupid question but my system information shows i have 64 bit....still i have the feeling it runs on 32-Bit. I am not sure if this is possible or if i am seeing things.
Also, when i open task manager(?) and look in the process list, everywhere i see *32 is shown. iIs it normal if you are running on a 64 system or simply what does it mean?
This question was solved.

Hi,
That's very NORMAL, a lot af applications out there still use 32bit and Windows 64 bit will accomodate for nearly all 32bit applications. Anything with *32 indicates it is a 32bit application itself but is running under a 64bit OS. You can also find 2 folders in C: drive, one called Program Files which stores all 64bit aplications and another one called Program Files (x86) which stores all 32 bit applications. Please note: You run both 32bit and 64bit applications under 64bit OS.
Regards.

Downloaded safari 5.0.3 to my Windows 7 64 bit operating system. Now screen shows all money amounts in Euros instead of US dollars. How to correct?

I downloaded Safari browser 5.0.3 to my Windows 7 operating system (64 bit) on a desktop computer and now when I look at webpages that show money amounts (dollars and cents) they are all written in Euros instead of american currency. How to correct?

So you are suggesting that Safari does an on-the-go conversion of currency? I don't think so. Safari just displays whatever is coded on the web site.
Localization (Windows settings) might be the culprit, as the user is re-directed to a web-site created for that region. It's also possible, that a foreign web site was chosen or suggested by Google.
Well he states that is all webpages that show any kind of currency. He can go to Control Panel> Region Options> Region & Language Configuration (something like that).
The onthe thing that makes me think that this could be a Safari issue more than a regional issue is that the OP stated that it downloaded Safari 5.0.3, which is not the latest version. This implies to some extent that the installer that was downloaded from a source other than Apple as it is no longer available in Apple's Website (the latest Safari is 5.1.4 which was released today), and there's no certainty on the region from where that Safari 5.0.3 installer was uploaded from which could have very well be a user in Europe; but that's speculation at this point.
Let's see how the issue works out for the OP and then move forward with other possible suggestions

Updates are downloaded in 32 bit form and 64 bit form,I have a 64 bit windows 7 operating system?

why does my windows 7 operating system 64 bit download half 32 bit important updates and half 64 bit important updates. This isnt good for smooth operation of my computer and it wastes time and space while I am trying to get work done online and the downloads are always mucking up. Why does a windows 64 operating system download any 32 bit updates.This is a big problem for me and I need some direction. thankyou

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the side, back, or bottom of your computer.
Most driver packages available from most computer manufacturers and chipset providers contain setup information for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. The installer determines the version to install based on the indentified operating system. This is an industry wide pratice and nothing is wrong.

Can you tell me if I have a 64 bit operating system which Java update do I download

Please can anyone advise me on what Java update I download for a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. My Firefox is telling me I need to urgently update my Java but when I click through to update all that is there is a page of confusing information about 32 bit and 64 bit systems. It asks which version am I using 64 bit version of Firefox or 32 bit. I didn't know there were two, I thought when referring to 64 bit and 32 bit it meant the operating system of my computer. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thank you.

Of course, if you have a x64 bit system, its better to download a x64 bit Java version. However, i think Firefox won't be able to use it since Firefox isn't x64 bit (yet). So if you need Java in your browser, you'll need Java's 32bit version.
Keep in mind i could be wrong. It's just my guessing because i tried it out some months ago. I installed 64bit Java but Firefox couldn't handle it.
However in my opinion you won't recognize a difference between 32 and 64 bit, unless you play games in Java or do other resource intensive work. 32bit will always work on a 64bit PC, but not the other way around.

Installing Oracle Web Tier 32-bit on a 64-bit Linux Operating System

Hello,
We're trying to install the 11.1.1.2 32-bit web tier on a RHEL 5 64-bit system following these directions: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14770/install.htm#CHDCGDJG
We're trying to figure out the equivalent on our system to these notes:
"c.Using a text editor such as vi, create a new file called gcc41 that contains the following conent:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 -static-libgcc
-B/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/2.95.3/ $*
Note:
The file i586-suse-linux/2.95.3 may differ slightly depending on the exact version of your Linux operating system. Verify the exact version of your Linux operating system in use; search for the 32bit directory in /usr/lib/gcc and obtain the exact file name."
We think ths might be the closest thing:
[root@server1 32]# pwd
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32
[root@server1 32]# ls
crtbegin.o crtbeginT.o crtendS.o libgcc.a libgcc_s.so libgomp.a libmudflap.a libmudflapth.a libstdc++.a libsupc++.a
crtbeginS.o crtend.o crtfastmath.o libgcc_eh.a libgcov.a libgomp.so libmudflap.so libmudflapth.so libstdc++.so
Can someone tell us what "file" they are speaking of in this environment? Or is that "2.95.3" a directory??
Thanks for the help!

For anyone that might run into the same problem, here's what needs to be in the gcc41 for a RHEL 5 64-bit platform:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 $*

MICROSOFT OPERATING SYSTEMS: 32bit vs 64bit & THIRD PARTY HARDWARE / SOFTWARE

As WINDOWS 7 is the newest, and latest O. S. product from good ole Microsoft, in upcoming weeks and months, lots of people; professional Techs, and regular Users are going to be faced with thousands upon thousands of new obstacles and miscues. Purchasing the 32bit version of WINDOWS 7---or a combo pack of 32/64---is currently the easiest and safest way to go! Still few manufacturers offer their Hardware with Software support for 64bit. Of course, most likely this will be the next wave of the future, but for now, most PCs are operating 32bit Motherboards, components and such.
Performing a CLEAN INSTALL vs an UPGRADE is a matter of decisive choice. Though, if you've been having problems with your current Operating System and PC, then chances are, an UPGRADE type of Install is not going to fix your problems. Of course, a CLEAN INSTALL guarantees you will most likely lose previous info and data, but if you back that data up onto a separate Hard Drive, you will be able to retrieve it later (if you don't have two or more Hard Drives installed in your PC, then a stand-a-lone USB type of Hard Drive can be purchased for under a Hundred dollars ($100).
With most of the 32bit Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, technically knowledgeable advanced Users, or Techs while paying exclusive attention during an Install, can direct the Operating System Setup to install without overwriting existing data, however this procedure and process requires a lucid working awareness and understanding on manipulation and navigation of existing Hard Drives.

You don't want those page outs and swap files.
1GB is really meaning that just running web browser, email and something else you will page.
Paging is slower than RAM
Laptops have slower hard drives for the most part still compared to desktops.
I would say 2GB will make a difference even for casual use. Safari alone has been known to use 600MB and up quite easily. Throw in Office, Logic, CS4 and you have a real problem and need that 4GB and up.
64-bit is more about the plumbing and address pointers, registers and can actually take more work to move things around. Your programs would need to be such that they benefit, and that each application or process can benefit from 4GB or more - each. And more than 4GB RAM.
Technical, but the best review of what Snow Leopard can mean for developers and the future of Mac.

The open/save dialogue has been in need of more views for a long long time, and that alone is worth the cost of Default Folder was; Finder has been in need of a rewrite for four yrs finally got it; send windows to its own application in the Dock and not left orphaned on the side and lost.
Multi-core isn't a big issue with dual-core but it has been and would have gotten much worse in the future without SL's Grand Central and other improvements. Moving to new compilers and with the help of Intel to better use new chips and hyper-threading.
Windows 7 runs smoother and faster and showed a lot over Vista and why those that used both won't go back. That is what I would expect to see from 10.6 eventually. There were problems where 10.5.x would get lost, not respond, the mouse would move but no interaction with the system itself, like a run-away train.

Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?

Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
Thanks in advance

>No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
>I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version.

Only Pentium 3's do not support running 64 bit operating systems Or there are others processors as well

Hi,
I was told that 'Unfortunately Pentium 3's do not support running 64 bit operating systems.'
However, I really noticed many other people say that I should run a hardware reading program, such as 'SecurAble' to be sure that my processor will be capable to run 64Bit operating systems or not.
Thus, if [b]only Pentium 3's [/b]do not support running 64 bit operating systems, then there is no need from running such a program(screen shot below).
I really run this program using Windows 7(64Bit) with HP Laptop Core i5. And this is the reslut:
64-Bit Processing Available
This processor does offer 64-bit modes of operation. This means that this system is able to run the significantly more secure 64-bit versions of Microsoft's Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
The biggest challenge for 64-bit Windows systems is the fact that existing 32-bit device drivers cannot be used by the 64-bit operating system kernel. So if you do plan to try switching to 64-bit Windows, you should be sure to have a means for reverting
to 32-bit operation if your system's hardware turns out to be incompatible with 64-bit operation. Many people have reverted to 32-bit operation after bravely giving 64-bits a try for a short time.
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Pentium 4 CPU s may or may not be 64bit capable depending on the specific model. Intel introduced 64bit versions after a number of 32bit only models. All mainstream later Intel CPU's are 64bit capable. The Atom processor may be 32 or 64 bit capable.
There is similar path with AMD CPU's, e.g. early Athlons were 32bit only, with later models 64 bit capable.

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?

How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?

I want to make a intro but it dossent allow me to even find/ istall it.
I hope some one will help me by anwsering my question.
Than you for time.

If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements you have to go back to a version that does. Try the direct download links you'll find here.. CS5 comes bundled with CS4 for AE which is the last version to run on a 32 bit system.

Hi,
Oracle WebLogic Server Downloads can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
I believe Oracle WebLogic Server is not certified yet on Windows 7 64-bit, and this explains why you cannot find installation files to download. More details about the product certification can be found at:
