Updating Palm TX to 32 bit Win 7 Pro from XP: use XP mode? Or Win 7?

I am really good at making fatal errors with technology and my Palm is too critical to risk, so I bought a 32 bit laptop, with Windows 7 pro and XP mode installed.
I have scoured the forums but all I can find are problems/solutions with 64 bits (which is what scared me off in the first place of course).
First, should I install in XP mode? Or will installing in Win 7 in a 32 bit computer go smoothly?
Second, can I safely use my original disc with the 4.2 version of Palm Desktop?
Finally, for my peace of mind, would you kindly check my checklist for errors or omissions or danger zones.
1) synch the device to Palm desktop
2) backup to my SD card with NVBackup
3) Open XP mode - or do not open XP mode as you recommend
4) install Palm desktop (from disc or download as you recommend)
5) enter the same user name as on the device/ xp computers
6) change conduits to Handheld overrides desktop
7) synch with the cable. Make tea. Be calm.
8) check data on handheld and on desktop for errors.
9) When somewhat confident all is well, return conduits to synchronize except for Backup which stays as Handheld overrides desktop. (nor sure why, but it is the default I guess.)
Thanks,
Muddling

How can I do a manual install of ACR 7.4 in 64-bit Win 7 PSE 11?

I found detailed instructions on this forum that I think were for 32-bit Win 7 but I'm hoping 64-bit install is different since I followed them and still no success. I know that 8.1 is supposed to be able to be manually installed and that would be ok too but I really only need to go from 7.1 to 7.4 and the update function is greyed out. I started with a trial version on that machine so maybe that has something to do with it? It is registered and activated. Tried to uninstall/re-install and still no luck(didn't check the "de-activate" though so maybe I need to try again and choose this?
Not afraid to try a manual install if it is in fact different.
This is the thread I followed - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1266134
I have the PSE 11 on a Mac platform also and was able to update it no problem...can't get the Win 7 to work for the life of me.
Thanks for any responses.

Glad it worked.
There is one more thing you should install and those are the camera raw profiles for 8.1
Download the 8.1 DNG Converter and run the installer to install the camera raw profiles.
(those profiles would normally be installed if the updater in your pse 11 was working)

PS4 and 64 bit Win 7 on a laptop... What problems am I in for?

I'm a noobie to laptops, and I can't live without my Wacom tablet and pen. I'd appreciate knowing how detail drawings are done by PS 4 or other users with this OS and what problems 64 bit will create with this software.
Some laptop questions too: I noticed a response somewhere to use 32 bit in Win 7, and I didn't know you had a choice. True?
Are there some laptops that have both battery and wall plug availability?
Can I still use my tablet and pen via a usb port?
I'm very worried about this software update and I'd appreciate knowing what problems changing from a good PC to a laptop I'll have to deal with. Thanks so much..MM

Photoshop installs both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. On Vista, and I assume Win7, the 64-bit is intalled in the "Program Files" directory, and the 32-bit in the "Program Files (x86)" directory. The two versions look indentical in use, but many legacy plug-ins will not work in the 64-bit version. Be sure to set your desktop shortcuts and file associations to the one you use most often.
Laptops have various battery run time capacities. I used to have a Toshiba that had a big, beautiful 17" screen, but it was large, heavy, ran very warm, and gave me less than one hour on a charge. I replaced it with anAcer Timeline model that gives me over seven hours per charge. It is very lightweight and portable, but the downside is that the thin 13" screen has an extremely narrow angle of view. It does have video and HDMI out, though, so I can use a regular monitor or HDTV, so it's not that big a deal. I really like that I can carry it in a bag without dislocating my shoulder .
I'm using a Wacom Intuous with it with no issues.

Issues with 64 bit win 7 clients printing from 2008 R2 print server

Hello All,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit server built with a print server role. My issue is 64 bit win 7 clients cannot add a new printer. The clients see the printer in the list, starts the printer installation, get to the point of downloading the
driver & then fails ' Windows cannot connect to the printer. ' the error is 0x0000012 or 0x000003ee. Any way I try to add the new printer I get the same result. The only way I can get the printer added is to do a local printer with the full path \\servername\printer_name
and then "have disk" and point to the driver folder on the print server to get the printer added.
Anyone have any thoughts on why the 64 bit clients will not add a new printer from a 64 bit print server ?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Please check if you can ping the print server successfully from this Windows 7 client computer. Did you encounter
the same issue when add other printers? Or just for this one printer?
Please type
regedit on Run to open Registry Editor and follow the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections and check if there has existent printer connection on the registry key.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

DVD can't read or use 64 bit Win 7 install

I just upgraded to a late 2012 Mac Mini and wanted to install Boot Camp. With this model and OS version, I only have Boot Camp 5 which requires 64 bit WIndows. This model should support that. But the Mac doesn't seem to recognize the 64-bit DVD when I put it in, and trying to boot with it gives a message to the effect of "operating system not found" or "installer disk not found" or some indication that the DVD is not bootable.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I actually have two copies of WIndows 7 on DVD, and in both copies, the 32 bit DVD can be read but the 64 bit can not. And since Boot Camp 5 doesn't even support 32-bit installations, I can't even use that as a fallback position. Any ideas?

Update: Found a workaround to this. Basically when I was actually in Mountain Lion and when trying to directly boot from DVD, the disk wasn't being recognized as a valid bootable volume.
Then I tried rebooting and holding down the Option key for a list of bootable devices. One of them was a DVD called "Windows" and using the boot menu to launch the install worked. For some reason I was unable to directly recognize this as a valid, bootable device...

64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767. Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS). However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode. Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports? Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.

Acrobat Pro XI and 64 bit Win 8.1 installation problem

When I try to install Acrobat Pro XI on my 64 bit Win 8.1 system it's not able to find some files.
For example: Xtras\AdobePDF\Amd64Vista
If I skip that file, and the others, it says "Installation Failed". If I try to run it I get error 16.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dean

I would run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and delete any Acrobat folders that have been created, then try again. Be sure to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus when you have problems like this.

Auto-update not working on 64-bit Windows Firefox Aurora

I realize the correct directory to download Aurora builds would be http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-l10n/, but it does not have 64-bit Windows build which is unfortunately the only way to solve severe stuttering problems in Flash.
Previously I had used nightly builds, while they did work fine most of the time sometimes there issues that forced me back to standard builds, and stuttering Flash.
So instead I've been trying to use 64-bit Aurora I downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/. It's been a smooth experience otherwise but auto-update doesn't work. First it attempts to install small patch, which fails. Then it tries to install full update, which again fails.
Here's a screenshot of the full update failure message: http://i.imgur.com/8HmPjTE.jpg

Thanks for the feedback. The topic linked above suggests that the problem with auto-update lies with CA certificate. I've submitted feedback to Moziilla and linked here just in case.
If the cause of failing auto-update is the CA certificate, hopefully Mozilla is willing to correct the problem.
Stuttering Flash in 32-bit Firefox is simply unbearable and I have to either use 64-bit Nightly or Aurora builds, or go Chrome.

64-bit Win 7 and new Mac Mini

I have the newest Mac Mini (HDMI and 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo). Boot Camp's online PDF document says that Mini's can't run Windows 7 64-bit. I am assuming this is wrong now with the even more powerful Minis on the market.
Can you run 64-bit Win 7 on the newest Mini?

Yeah, I wrote this wrong. Its ITunes has stopped working and Windows is trying to solve problem, then shuts down.
I have un-installed , re-installed. Tried earlier version and that wont work any more. Changes firewall, pop-ups whatever...........nothing works. And Apple has been no help. Run test and it says all test are good even to Apple store??
