T61 32-bit XP to 64-bit Win8 - general approach that may work for other models

I recently tried to upgrade my T61 from 32-bit to 64-bit Win 8 using the $39.99 download.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING THIS, IT WILL FAIL. HOWEVER, IF YOU PURCHASE THE $69.99 VERSION WITH BOTH 32-bit AND 64-bit MEDIA YOU CAN DO IT (no downloadable 64-bit ISO to burn your own.)
Lessons learned:
1. Although not "spec"ed officially, a T61 will take 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB modules).
2. The $39.99 download gives you the version you have - if 32-bit, it is not smart enough to ask you if you want 64-bit. After 2 hours of download and install, you will end up with 32-bit Win 8. Therefore, bite the bullet and buy the $69.99 hard media once (time *is* money). You can buy additional $39.99 upgrades on-line - all you need is the serial # to use with your original "hard media" - it can be used with either the 32- or 64-bit.
3. The actually ugrade went much better than expected. By going from 32-bit to 64-bit I got a clean install. Win 8 had drivers for virtually all devices except one - the SIMM stick driver for the Ricoh 4-in-1 card reader. This was identified after floating the error code out on Google. See the following to tell you what device(s) is (are) missing - www.pcidatabase.com
4. I usually partition my disk into C: (active), D: (disk image and data back-up , internal), and E: (utilties and OS ISO's to do an internal restore). I always clone all 3 partitions to an external drive incase of complete HD failure. This became essential after one trial instal of Win8 32-bit (before I figure it out), I ended up with CHKDSK's in XP on virtually every reboot with no errors found ??!! In other words, assume nothing...
5. The new version of System Update 5 is of virtually no use for a T61 - the only driver/utility identified was Active System Protection for 64-bit.
6. So what is the alternative to System Update? There are several device driver updaters out there - like Slim Device, Driver Doctor, Driver Reviver, Driver Genius, etc., etc. I ran several and they seem to find most of more specific drivers. Just remember some drivers are 32- or 64-bit specific, others one driver works for both. In general Win 7 drivers will work for Win 8 (or so I understand).
7. Fixing the Metro UI, no Start Button / Start Menu problem. What can I say, I hate the new UI - I am a developer/statsitician and have work to do. There is an answer - a "shell" that can immediately replace the Start screen with a Desktop, Start button, and Start menu of your choice of styles Win 2K, XP, and on. There are several of these. I have used Classic Shell (classicshell.sourceforge.net). There are several others. Is it perfect? - no, but I now have a functional system that I can use all 8 GB, loads relatively quickly (faster than 32-bit XP with 3 GB of RAM enabled out of 4.)
8. Older software *does* work. I still use Office 2003, SPSS 12, Stata 8, and contrary to MS' effort to get you to the latest Office, for my purposes, these are compatable.
9. Would it work for the T4x series? I don't see why not. As I mentioned, the included driver database seemed pretty functional. The real question is whether the Pentium M series is compatible; you'd have to try. I do know that MS tried to tell me that the Core Duos in the T6x series were not, but that is why I gave up with MS support after hours on the phone (again, time *is* money).
Bottom line - once again MS rolls out an OS with no clue. On the other hand if this if Win 7.5 and is relatively stable, then it just might be worth the effort.
Good luck!

More details:
When attempting recovery, the exact error message is: "The recovery attempt has failed. Select one of the following buttons: Save Log, Details, Retry". Save log supposedly saves the log to a USB stick, but the file (HP_SSRD_LOG.CAB) is only 2 KB and doesn't want to open as a CAB file. Retry just starts the hours-long process again - with the same result.
Clicking the "Details" button gives me a log (CTOERROR.flg):
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : or, check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log
How's that for most useless log entry ever? Especially since c:\system.sav seems to be a hidden directory, and the Notepad window showing the current log won't display hidden files... and when I pull out the hard drive and inspect the directory structure, there aren't any files by that name...
There is, however, a BurnBootMergeBBV1.log file, containing a couple of interesting lines:
[ 2:04:45.80] 3C12 Factory Update CD for Microsoft QFEs Installation for Windows 8 Launch Fixes Installation State
[ 2:05:49.65] KB2750945 install fail, ERRORLEVEL=-2145124329
[ 2:05:49.65] Result of the 3C12 Factory Update CD for Microsoft QFEs Installation for Windows 8 Launch Fixes
RESULT=FAILED
Standard Error information...
Standard Out information...
Result=FAILED
No idea if that's related or not. I'd still like to try updating the BIOS; if anyone can create a USB thumbdrive with the BIOS on it (using a Win8 machine) and post the files it contains, I'd really appreciate it.

How can I set specific bits in a 16-bit integer?

Hello everyone,
as the title says I need to modify or rather to set a specific bit in a string which then is sent to a motor. I need to be sure that my command is correct as I am experiencing troubles with that motor and need to identify if its source.
First of all my strings have to be in the Little Endian order. Then the structure of the string should be the following:
Change Velocity command ‘V’xxCR 056h + one unsigned short (16-bit) integer + 0Dh (Note: Uppercase ‘V’)
Note: The lower 15 bits (Bit 14 through 0) contain the velocity value. The high-order bit (Bit 15) is used to indicate the microstep-to-step resolution: 0 = 10, 1 = 50 uSteps/step.
Until now, I used Flatten To String to convert 32 bit integers into bytes of the correct order. I thought I could use the Join Numbers function, but that only works for at least 8 bit numbers and there is no "1 bit number". I searched for an option to build a a string and set the bits via a Boolean Cluster, but I did not really understand how to transfer this to my problem.
How can I build up the correct 16-bit integer (e.g. set the velocity to "10000" with a resolution of 50 µSteps/step)
I would like to add the "V" and the CR via Concatenate Strings to the 16-bit integer, but other possibilites are also welcome.
I have seens the examples for bit manipulation in C-code, but I wish to do this with LabView as I am not familiar with C,matlab and so on.
Thank you very much for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You really need to learn Boolean logic and how to shift bits around.
AND is really good for masking out bits (forcing them to 0) and OR is really good for adding bit values. Then Logical Shift is used to get the bits in the right places before doing the AND and OR.
NOTE: Rate is an enum with 10 being a value of 0 and 50 being 1.

Java Web Start apps defaulting to 32-bit JVM; need 64-bit

We use Java Web Start to install our client interface application.
When I install on a 64-bit Windows Server 2003 system, the desktop icon that is created points to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\javaws.exe, which opens the client in a 32-bit JVM.
How can I get Web Start to generate the icon with a target of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\javaws.exe so that it will start in a 64-bit JVM?
Do we control the string that is used for the target or is it a built-in function that we cannot change? (Note: I'm not the developer, just researching the problem so I can tell the coder what, if anything, should be changed.)

How to install 64-bit version on 64-bit OS

I am trying to install Labview 2011 SP1 Evaluation on Windows 7 64-bit OS. When I go to choose the isntallation directory it automaticaly points me to the 32-bit compaibility folder "Program Files (x86)". I believe this isntall the 32-bit version of Labview. I want to install the 64-bit version. How can I do this?

I had a 64 bit and a 32 bit version installed after the first version because there were some tools that I wanted to install that would not install on the 64 bit version. There seem to be 2 different program file directories now: Program Files and Program Files (x86) so I'm assuming that they are for the two different versions of LabVIEW. In the Program Files / National Instruments / LabVIEW 2011 directory there is a LabVIEW.exe file, but in the similar (x86) directory there is no LabVIEW.exe file. It seems like there is no 64 bit LabVIEW version still installed in this computer. When I downloaded the CAN device drivers and installed the package, the sub VIs did not show up in the tool bar when I ran LabVIEW. However, when I look in the (x86) version files I see the CAN folder installed in the 64 bit program files directory! Should I uninstall the current version and reinstall the 64 bit verson to fix this CAN problem, or is there another way to fix this
You got it mixed up here. Microsoft decided that Program Files is always meant to mean the native version, which means that for Windows 64 bit, any 64 Bit applications get installed there. Program Files (x86) is for 32 Bit applications that will run inside the Win32 subsystem in Win64. Most NI Toolkit and driver installers only install into 32 Bit. So if you use LabVIEW 64 Bit you will usually have to copy the files from the Program Files (x86) directory into the according Program Files directory, making sure you maintain the same hierarchy.

Migrating an SAP 4.7x110 system on W2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64)

We want to migrate an SAP 4.7x110 system on Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64). Afterwards we want to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0.
According to PAM, 4.7x110 is not supported on Windows 64-bit.
According to note 960769,
"After the migration to the 64-bit hardware, your SAP system may have a status that is not supported by SAP for productive use (see Note 814834). You may need to upgrade to a new SAP release. In this exceptional circumstance, SAP offers support for the duration of the upgrade. Note that SAP does not support a longer, more productive use of such a system for the period after the migration and before the upgrade....
...We generally recommend to use SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) for the productive use on x86_64. However, the 32-bit operation of SQL Server 2000 on Windows x86_64 64-Bit (supported by Microsoft) is also supported by SAP...
...The following table illustrates which OS/DB combination supports each SAP release in the target system.
Source System   Target System (Kernel, DB Software)     Support Comment

"SAP supports the x86_64 platform on Windows 2003 Server SP1 x64 for kernel 4.6D and kernel 6.40 and higher. ... For product versions based on kernel 6.40 and higher, only 64-bit operation is supported."
According to note 905634, about SQL Server 2005 support (where a mention to R3E 4.7 x110 is missing)
"Supported SAP products based on SAP_BASIS 6.20 and SAP_BASIS 6.40

According to all this information, may I move our 4.7x110 system onto a Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and after that we would upgrade to ECC 6.0?

Sorry, I forgot posting the SAP answer, which is also "Yes":

Dear Eva,
Yes, you can move to the 64 bit platform with SQL Server 2005 according
to note 960769.
Information in note 905634 means there is no installation DVD for
release 47x110 for SQL Server 2005. So it is not possible to do a fresh
installation of 47x110 except if you follow the workaround of note
899111 (for x64).

TAPIOVERRIDE not working w/Outlook 2010 64-bit & Lync 2013 64-bit

Hi all,
I have a Win7 64-bit machine with Office 2010 Standard 64-bit and Lync 2013 64-bit. The user would like to use the Windows Dialer instead of Lync to call from his Outlook contacts. Prior to my installing Lync for him, this worked very well. However, thereafter
Lync attempts to do the calling.
There are dozens of threads out there for using the TAPIOVERRIDE registry fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959625/en-us) to correct this issue, but it is not working for me and I assume it's due to my combination of application versions. I've confirmed
both approaches (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\... -vs- HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\...) fail to work even after rebooting entirely - for the record, I would assume the "32-bit approach" is what I need.
Has anyone gotten the TAPIOVERRIDE fix to work with the aforementioned software versions? Can anyone else make a recommendation on a TAPI add-in for Outlook which would inherently override Lync's calling functionality?
Thanks!

Aaron0001,
Good news. As an Office365 subscriber, I was able to open a service ticket on this issue, and I believe we've got a solution. As it turns out, these Call Integration/TAPIOVERRIDE keys do work (as a precaution, I created both); however, it appears
they have to be in-place when you install Lync to have any effect. I'm guessing that these keys may impact how Lync installs, but have no effect if Lync is already installed.
I had uninstalled Lync so that I could use Outlook with Windows dialer ... dialing functionality was restored as soon as I uninstalled Lync. However, when I got online with the Microsoft technician he had me reinstall Lync 64bit (after the keys had
already been created) and, presto, Outlook is still using Windows dialer rather than contacting Lync to try to place the call.
I hope this is helpful to you, or to anyone else who happens upon this page with the same problem.
All the best,
Kevin

PLEASE HELP ME. 12.1.1 itunes does NOT work for my windows 7 64 bit

I have read all the tutorials on here and elsewhere online and nothing works. My cousin goes to school for MIS help and she couldnt even figure out whats going on.
I HAVE DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES!
- Made sure my windows had all the necessary updates and everything was installed.
- I uninstalled ALL itunes products in the proper order according to apple discussions.
- Went through all the folders in program files.
- Reinstalled it and I get an error message. ( Apple mobile device service (apple mobile device service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services )
- I have gone through the Services window and tried stopping and restarting the program but I get an error message. (Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device Service service on Local Computer - Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion) I have gone through all the start and stop tutorials and none of them have worked.
- I have tried clicking ignore and sometimes it finishes installing but then gives me an new error message. ( iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (windows error 193) - I tried reinstalling and nothing.
- I tried finding the ituneshelper download but couldnt find it, I've also tried repairing and nothing works.
- I had downloaded and older version of itunes a few days ago that WAS working the 12.1 version (NOT 12.1.1) but then my cousin came to see if she could fix it and now I can't even download that version.
I am OUT OF options and I dont want to have to spend the money on support. Can some one PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have been trying to fix this for days.

Hi Thank you, the apple mobile service links did not work, i had tried them all. however that same link with the previous versions worked. I had to download the one below and I can at least use itunes.

UnsatisfiedLinkError running 32 bit on a 64 bit windows server 2008

Hi,
I have developped a JNI solution a while back and it runs fine on a Windows 2008 server 32 bit computer, but when running on a 64 bit windows server 2008 it gives me the following exception

I tried specifying the library path by using the -Djava.library.path= property (once again this works fine on 32 bit version) but the same error.
I used the old Visual studio 6 compiler to create the 32 bit DLL. Do I need to re-compile the DLL for 64 bit? And any pointers on how to do that?
I am a C++ newbie so any help would be appreciated

Don't feel like researching it myself but you might start here and get back to us with what you find.
[http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2008/10/20/9006720.aspx]
Although seems conclusive I would research it more since 32bit apps must run somehow.
I suspect that you will need a different VS IDE though to make a 64 bit build.

Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
(Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
ODBC call failed
[Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

Thank you for your reply.
I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
I found this small comment:
“There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
I tried it and it solved the problem!
With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
Solved.

I have 32 bit iTunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit because the 32 bit will not uninstall (or run).

I have 32 bit itunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit itunes because the 32 bit willl not uninstall.

Excellent news.
That one can sometimes hit people if they've used the PC Mover utility to transfer a 32-bit iTunes program onto a 64-bit system. Similar issues can arise if a 32-bit Bonjour or 32-bit AMDS get transfered across to a 64-bit system by PC Mover, so it might pay to keep a weather eye out for that (if you've used PC Mover).

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have. My computer is only a few months old. What do I do now?

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

HP Color LaserJet HP 3600DN Windows 7 drivers (32 bit and or 64 bit)

This just seems outrageous....... it seems that no drivers for the HP3600 series printer for Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit). Can't find anything, from the few post I have seen, no response from HP, or others that the printer is not supported ???? a printer that is only a year and a half old!? Don't know why I purchase HP printers if HP does not intend on supporting them. This is the second (yes, second) HP printer I have had this happen to - totally inexcusable. I seriously don't think I will purchase another HP printer (work or personal) if HP does not support their hardware. At this stage, ready to get rid of my HP laptop or anything that has an HP logo on it.
Now that I have vented, is there ANY simple solution to make my non functional HP 3600DN printer work with Windows 7 (64 bit) - or am I just forced to retire a 16 month old printer and purchase another brand that supports their hardware? Thanks,

I posted in that thread as well....it seems the Vista 64 dirvers do work but as telee mentioned, the grayscale function does not (it seems to print the reverse...what's white is black and what's black is white), kinda like a negative. Not only does this waste toner, but it's not a useable print.
Most of my work is done in colour anyway....and any black print is normally condusive to printing text, so the grayscale problem has not really affected me much.
Having said that, I am sure one day when I need to print in grayscale I am going to probably start punching the wall because I won't be able to reproduce a proper print.
I really do hope HP creates Win 7 drivers for the 3600 CLJ. Having worked for HP I can tell you that it usually has nothing to do with not being able to "do it" from a programming perspective....the decision to not support a product when a new OS comes out is normally from a product lineup perspective wherein HP wants you to spend money to buy a newer printer....one in a similar price range that would probably end up costing you more from a cost per page perspective....which equals $$$ on toner sales.
HP makes money on ink and toner...and many times printers are sold at cost and sometimes even at a loss.

Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Internet Explorer 9 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, HP laptop - Flash objects do not display properly in browser; right-click Settings window does not display properly either; i have to scroll down and back up to see parts of the Flash object but it disappears anyway when i mouse over.
I took video of the issue and have now linked to it. In the video, I show two browser tabs - one from this site and one from a Bank of America (BoA) site with a flash object. You can see how the BoA flash object disappears when I make that tab active.
Please help!

Thanks for the reply and the link. The driver update did not work because it says I have the latest one installed - even though the driver date is 10/8/2009. It's the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD, version 8.15.10.1968.
Can you believe that...the latest is from 2009?! I tried to install an updated version anyway - first by going to the Intel site. I found a driver update from Jan 2012 that matches my system, but the install aborts with the error message "A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver."
So, I searched through the HP support site and finally found a link to my computer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4121236&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&task=&lang=e n&cc=us
And I downloaded and installed the "same" driver anyway:
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD Driver ►
2009-12-04 , Version:8.15.10.1968 B, 29.91M
This package contains the driver for the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD in the supported notebook/laptop models.
But it does not correct the problem.
Maybe this problem is because of an old graphics driver - but this is apparently a dead end for me.
Is there any possibility it is caused by something else?

Possible to run a 32 bit program in 64 bit Windows 7 Pro?

Hi
I've ordered a Thinkpad X220 which here in UK only comes with 64 bit version of windows 7 pro. Problem is that there a couple of programs which i use which only run in 32 bit windows (no 64 bit version available) and they run fine in my existing Win 7 32 bit version...i've tried them on a friend's pc running 64 bit Win 7 Ultimate and they do not work. Is there any way to make these programs work in Win 7 Pro 64 bit on my soon-to-arrive X220? If i downloaded and installed 'Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC" on my X220, would this help in making the 32 bit programs work on my 64 bit Win 7?
Cheers

Phychopomp1,
Windows 7 64 bit is able to run 32 bit programs. However, some programs will have issues.
Have you checked your programs against the Windows 7 compatibility list: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=2394
This should tell you if they are compatible or not with Windows 7 64-bit.
There are compatibility settings that you can try once you have installed the software also. Right click on the shortcut and choose properties, then go to the compatibility tab and try the various OS settings.
If those things fail, then you should try Windows XP Mode (convenience link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx). This will allow you to install your programs in a virtual copy of Windows XP SP3 using Windows Virtual PC. Once XP Mode is installed, when you install your software into it, you will get a shortcut to use the program from your Windows 7 start menu without even seeing the XP Mode window.
Hope this helps,

64 Bit Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 - does it work for anyone?

Hi,
Is anyone running 64 BI Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 without any problems? Mine is totally unusable due to wild erratic brushes (clone, healing, eraser and more). I have had zero success with Adobe. Two weeks after posting a support incident, they finally responded with an answer that had absoutley nothing to do with my support ticket. Unbelievable. SO maybe I'll get another response in 2 more weeks.
I have another thread that explains my problems, but that is not the purpose of this post. For this I am interested in what configurations people are using with 64 bit CS4 and 64 bit Windows 7, especially, what graphics cards are you using in the situations where there are no problems. I will even buy new graphics cards, because I have to. I cannot work as is.
Is anyone using dual graphics cards successfully with 64 bit Win 7 and 64 bit CS4. if so, what cards?
Thanks

PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
Set up is simple:
M4A79T delux MB
8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
Simple USB keyboard
MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

T61 32-bit XP to 64-bit Win8 - general approach that may work for other models
