[S0LVED] 32-Bit compatibility on a 64-bit system

I'm trying to figure out what packages I need so I won't have problems running 32-bit games and such. RIght now I'm trying to run Firestorm (Second Life client), and it won't start...It tells me this in the terminal.
You are running the Firestorm Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-firestorm-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde
ia32-libs-sdl
What packages do I need to solve this (I searched for ia32 and got nothing) and what packages am I going to need to install for general 32-bit compatibility?

We call our 32bit compatibility repo multilib. Check out pacman.conf. You can enable the repo by uncommenting the necessary lines.
Once you do that, I guess you would then have to figure out what exactly those packages in ubuntu would provide you with.
I have multilib enabled already...I know ia32 has something to do with the Intel processor...I have lib32-intel-dri installed, but that's the only Intel-related 32-bit library I've found so far.

MMC Console -- install fails on 64 bit systems (both W7 and VISTA Ultimate)

Hi all
was trying to install trial version (ABAP) on W7 X-64 bit
MMC snap in console fails to install -- message SAP MMC snap in
This installation does not support 64 bit Windows operating systems -- please use the the corresponding 64 bit version of the installer.
I tried also running in "Compatability mode" same error.
Since this has to be installed first I didn't bother installing the rest.
Any news -- these days 64 bit CPU's are the norm even on smaller laptops so I'm a bit surprised this doesn't work on a 64 bit Windows system.
With a decent amount of RAM in the system I don't won't to be restricted to 3GB on a 32 bit system anymore .
So very surprised here that this doesn't work.
Any news on a 64 bit update.
(It works on the 32 bit version of W7 running under a VM but I really want to run it on a 64 bit system on a physical machine).
Cheers

Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.

"For Adobe Premiere Elements a 64 bit System is requiered"
but when i check the minimum system requeirements on the side of the box it says:
"Windows Vista: all applications run native on 32-bit-operating-systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit-operating systems"
i have no idea if i can use it now or not?! i have no idea what the sentence above means!

well, thanx and enjoy your weekend

Adobe CS3 on 64 bit systems

I recently had a problem with Prem Pro CS3 coming up with an "out of memory" error.
Adobe were unable to come up with a solution so, in an attempt to at least give the system more RAM, I bought a new system with 8Gb.
Since 32 bit systems are not able to use that much memory, I went for the 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system.
I thought all my problems were solved until someone at Adobe told me none of the programs in the CS3 suite is designed to run on a 64-bit platform!
Can anyone tell me why not? Can it really be that difficult to enable Prem Pro to access more memory etc.
I wonder if the much heralded CS4 will be able to run 64bits...

> whats the chances it'll handle mobile phone (etc) mpegs without issue?
"Without issue" is a virtual impossibility. I would guess, however, that the support for various MPEG formats will be improved upon in the next release.
On Vista...I'm running Vista and have had no issues, no slowdowns, no crashes, no lost data, no memory leaks, etc. I'm running it on a laptop, and it's very very fast. Most of the issues people are still whining about were 3rd party driver compatibilities, and those were worked out in the last year and a half since Vista was released (for the most part...obviously, some older hardware and software will never be compatible with Vista because it's no longer supported by those 3rd parties, or because newer versions are available. See CS3 vs. CS2...no sense supporting Vista on old software when you built that compatibility into the new software).
I was skeptical about heading the Vista route, but most of the issues now are more myth than fact, or they are just old issues that were solved months ago or a year ago after the Vista dust settled. I discovered this through a little current events research, as well as with my own personal foray into the world of Vista.
All this being said, it's not worth upgrading most existing XP machines to Vista (any machine more than a year old with XP installed), but if you buy or build a new machine these days, most of the current software and parts and pieces were designed around Vista and are better optimized for it than for XP (for which there are usually issues running software in "XP compatible mode").
Memory issues and bloat, those were the two big complaints. I've found, however, that Vista handles memory much more intelligently than XP ever did, and makes better use of lesser memory. My notebook only has 2 GB in dual channel vs. 4 GB (also dual channel) on my workstation, and PPro and AE previews, renders and just about everything completes in less time than on my XP machines. I'm sure the nice T9400 processor is helping, but it's still all "strained" by the so-called limitations of Vista, so...I'd say the proof is in the pudding (or the render).
A final thought....before you go repeating the year-old thoughts and reviews of every blogger or tech magazine writer, make sure 1) they know what they're talking about, and 2) that they still hold those same opinions today. Lot of those guys jumped on the bandwagon for Vista after SP1 came out.

Install HP Laser Jet printer 1022 in w7 - 32 bit system

hi
Anyone can help to install HP Laser Jet 1022 printer to windows 7, 32 bit system.. because i can't install it correctly.
is thier any compatibility issue between the printer and the O.S ??
Thanks,

Hi polyester,
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 understand that you are having a problem with installing a Windows XP 32-bit printer driver. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. If you have an older version of this print driver or other older LaserJet print drivers installed, then this could be causing an issue.
Use the HP Officejet Pro Software and Driver Removal Utility and do a level 3 uninstall to remove all the printer software and drivers.
Here is a document for Installing the Printer Software in Windows XP for a USB Cable Connection that explains the steps to installing the software and drivers.
Here is the link for the HP LaserJet 1020 and 1022 Printer series Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver download page.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

Having a problem with wireless connection. On my Windows XP 32 bit system and a 6510 printer, initi

On my Dell Latitude D620, Windows XP 32 bit system and my 6510 printer wireless connection (Linksys EA4500) , everything works fine after the computer is booted. After a period of time (usually overnight), I lose connection to the printer (the scanner icon with a red x is shown on my Windows task bar and I can't print. Ran Windows Fix and the HP fix programs. The only thing that solves it is to reboot the computer. A second symptom is that my IE8 stops connecting to the internet at the same time (gives a 'waiting for' response that never changes). Firefox still connects OK when this is happening. So I suspect the problem isn't with the printer, but with my Windows set up. It is a fresh XP SP3 install (hard drive crashed, but it happened before also). I reset IE, checked my proxy, no malware, happens with or without firewalls and security programs.
Hoping that someone else has run into this problem. Been all over Google, and the IE doesn't work / Firefox works is fairly common, but none of the fixes helps.

If you want you can reload Firefox 4.0 or the last "old" version is 3.6.16 and is available here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Just reinstall your choice of FF. The bookmarks are in a different directory and are NOT overwritten. Some of the Add-ons that worked in 3.6 DO NOT work with 4.0, pay attention and head any warnings when you start 4.0.
I had to disable extensions: Flashblock and WOT
Firefox SafeMode? - A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

Unable to install iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 64 bits system

I am not able to install the latest version of itunes, version 10.5.0.142, released by Apple last week.
I think it is important to note that there are three pending updates on my system (Windows 7, 64 bit), which keep on failing again and again no matter what the mode of update (manual via microsoft website or automatic via the program provided by microsoft). These are:
1. Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2556532)
2. Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)
3. Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)
The methods that I have tried to install the latest version of itunes (all have failed as of now):
a. Automatic via the previous version of itunes. This tries to download and install itunes in parts, but ultimately leads to the error originally pointed in this thread. Failed.
b. Uninstalling the previous version of itunes completely as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and also using Microsoft Fixit and then trying to install the new version. Failed.
c. Uninstalling all but apple software update, and then trying to update manually from the software update file available in c:\Program Files (x86)\Apple Software Update folder. Failed.
d. Uninstalling all the versions of visual c++ (2005 and 2008), and then trying to install the latest version of itunes. Then re-installing the latest versions of c++ (2005, 2008 and 2010) along with updates but three as pointed above, and then trying to install the latest version of itunes. Failed.
e. I have tried various permutations and combinations of keeping the firewall, antivirus and even the internet off and on. Failed.
The combination of errors that I have received:
- An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version=“8.0.50727.6195″,type=“win32,publicKeyToken=“1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=“x86”. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712
- Error 7 indicating installation of microsoft .net framework 4.0 for me (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074) and
- Error 2 - "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
However, I have seen on some websites that people have been able to install the latest version of itunes on their windows 7 64 bits system (surprising, but yeah).
I would appreciate any pointers as to:
?1 How do I install the latest version of itunes on my system.
?2 If the steps are not included in the solution to ?1, how do I update 1., 2., and 3. mentioned above.
?3 If I am able to install itunes 10.5.0.142 on my windows 7 64 bit, would I be able to successfully my iPad2 to iOS5?
Many thanks.

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

WIndows 7 64-bit system printing to a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server

Is there any way to configure a new Windows 7 64-bit computer to use a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server ?
The printer that I would like to connect to is an HP 4240n LaserJet. I appears that there is only a 64-bit Universal Print Driver available. The server currently uses HP 32-bit PCL5e or PCL6 drivers for all other connected computers. Connection is through a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, using DLC/LLC transport for the embedded 4240n print server.
Installing the HP 64-bit UPD to the WIndows 7 64-bit system, and then attempting to redirect the local port to the Win2k network print server has not worked.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi:
See if this works...
Run msconfig.
In the System Configuration screen, Boot tab, Advanced Options, if there is a check mark in the box next to Maximum memory. Remove that checkmark and save your changes.
Reboot and hopefully Windows recognises all the Ram ( minus the reserved ) after restarting.
Please give that a try, and post back and let us know if that frees up some system memory for you.

How do I retrieve a hWnd required to draw an image created by an ActiveX object on a windows 7 64-bit system?

I'm calling to the NaturalPoint Optitrack SDK using activex controls and am trying to pull tracking data from a trackIR 5. I have connected to the camera and wanted to start by just viewing a captured frame. The Optitrack COM provides a function to draw the frame, but needs a hWnd handle for a window to draw to. I tried to call FindWindow from the user32.dll, but only found FindWindowA, FindWindowExA, FindWindowW, and FindWindowExW. I'm using Labview 8.6 (32-bit) on a Windows 7 64 bit system (trying to figure out how access the universities liscense manger to install LV2010 64 bit). Thanks
Jarad

The other functions are variants, depending on how you're dealing with strings:
FindWindowW : Unicode names
FindWindowA: ANSI names
FindWindowEx: Searches child windows for the window that has the specified name. You can provide a parent window handle as a starting point. The "A" and "W" follow the same Unicode/ANSI names as FindWindow.
You'd want to use FindWindowA or FindWindowExA since LabVIEW doesn't support Unicode.

Crystal Reports XI R2 SP2 on Windows Server 2008 ( 32 bit system)

Hi Forum,
I am trying to run a .NET application on a windows server 2008( 32 bit system) with Crystal Reports X1 R2 SP2 installed.
The application does not run and throws the following error in the event log.
Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e023cf, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0171ab98, process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10.
The same application runs fine on a windows server 2003.Also, the same application runs fine, when i remove the crystal reports code. It loads the .NET pages fine.
Please suggest me if i am missing something. Please let me know how can i debug this issue?

Hello,
Crystal reports XIR2 is not supported on Windows server 2008.

Will photos created on a 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium be readable on a Windows 7 64 bit system?

I have around 25,000 photos in jpeg and tiff and in version sets plus some slide shows and blurb books created in the 32 bit system of Windows Vista Home Premium with PSE 10.0 and Premier and have to change to a 64 bit Windows 7 system since Adobe is discontinuing the Photoshop Elements programs in early April of 2013. Will these photos created in 32 bit be readable and editable in the 64 bit system?

Yes. PSE works on both 32bit and 64 bit systems.
PSE is not being discontinued. The on-line service at Photoshop.com is simply moving to Adobe Revel.

Is there a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system.

I was wondering if there is a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system, because photoshop won't recognize the pen pressure on my graphics tablet (yiynova msp19u) I read that some users got it to work in 32-bit mode on macs, and all my other programs like zBrush, art rage, sketch book pro recognize the pen pressure on the tablet.

well I am going to assume that the application marked photoshop is the 32-bit application, since the other on is marked 64-bit and I don't see one 32-bit. in any case it still not recognizing pen pressure and i have the newest drivers. The only thing I can think of now is that wacom drivers are interfering with it some how since they don't get along, although I was pretty sure i got rid of all wacom software.
Sigh, it's starting to look like I have to format my computer

Why is my 8 gigs of ram not fully usable on a Windows 7 64-bit system with an HP G42?

The title contains most of the details, but to re-explain briefly, I recently installed two 4 gig sticks of ram in my HP G42-415DX. The full 8 gigs shows as installed, but only 3.74 gigs is showing as usable. I have verified that I have a Windows 7 64-bit system (Home Premium to be exact), and I have recently updated drivers (at least I'm sure I've updated all the drivers, but it is possible for one or two utility type drivers not being installed) to try to solve the problem, to no avail.
If there's anything more I can provide, let me know.
EDIT: And while I'm thinking of it, they are 8500's.

Hi:

What to re-install from Lenovo on a Windows 7 64-bit system

Hi,
As we already have volume licences for Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit systems, I made a clean install on my new ThinkPad X201, Type: 3323, Model: 8TG. Now, apart from the rescue image in the special partition that was there when the computer arrived, I would like to have all other "Lenovo features" that were pre-installed with the factory installation that came with the computer.
I have downloaded and installet the ThinkVantage toolbox and ThinkVantage System Update. It seems that Access Connections also is installed and the Power Manager.
However I have also downloaded and installed the Fingerprint Software for Windows 7, 64-bit, but I am not sure where to find it!!!
What else would you recommend that I download and install to make it work like the pre-installed x201 version from Lenovo?
Also I would like to know if I should use Windows 7's system image builder or Lenovo's own version?
And what about the migration tool from Lenovo? Is it better in anyway than Easy File Transfer that came with Windows 7??
Thanks!
Regards,
Dag Wolters
