Very frequent BSODs on Windows Vista Ultimate

Hi everyone.
I am a happy owner of an Aluminium MacBook, but, unfortunately, not when it comes to Windows. The system crashes pretty much every time I go on it. It happens upon various tasks - launching a game, watching IPTV (which is the main reason why Vista's installed on my Mac) or simply starting Firefox. But usually I just end up with a BSOD saying:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000090, 0x8B11F50E, 0x83212B4C)
appletmp.sys ADDRESS 8B11F5DE BASE AT 8B11E000, DATESTAMP 493B7A9B
What can I do to get rid of this problem? Thanks in advance!
P.S. Don't bother replying with "Google it". No use, except finding out that it's something to do with RAM, apparently. But why?

Hello? Anyone got any andvice?

Windows Vista Ultimate and Oh Crap!

Hello All,
This post is a bit of a question and a bit of advice. I am a System's Analyst / Network Engineer. I have a lot of experience with computers, Windows, and Mac OS. Eight days ago I started working with a client on a brand new PC with ALL the bells and whistles. The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows Vista Ultimate, RAID 1 (Mirror), Removable Media Drive, Great Sound via X-Fi, Great Video via Nvidia PCI-X, and SATA (Obviously since it's running a RAID array).
I got everything setup and running great and as the last step installed iTunes and Quicktime. My client has a few thousand songs, a ton of TV shows, and a whole mess of movies ALL purchased thru iTunes store. Nothing is pirated, stolen, or illegal on this computer. Now, here's where it gets good.
I did the import in a few stages to make the data transfer a little faster. I did music, then TV, then movies. I tested a song and it worked great. I went to play a TV show and the computer slowed to a halt. I let it go like this until activity started on the machine again. It took about 5 minutes and then iTunes crashed. A second later the computer blue-screened and rebooted.
As soon as the reboot occured the RAID array came up in a failed state. I had to rebuild the array and get back into Windows. I tried again with the TV show, had the same result, tried again with a movie, and again had the same result. I called HP and they told me to fresh install the OS so I did. Again, same result.
This has been going on now for a few days with several different tests and several array rebuilds and OS installs. I would have had HP replace the computer or the motherboard but NOTHING else on the entire PC was causing this problem and diagnostics showed no hardware issues. There is/was no reason to suspect faulty hardware or software other than iTunes and/or Quicktime.
Today I ran the final tests and a fresh rebuild. I found some documentation stating that iTunes had some compatibility issues with Vista and decided to try some other videos that I could run in Media Center. They worked flawlessly. I'm left thinking that these problems are specifically iTunes / Quicktime and will move forward accordingly. Apple has stated that they are working with Microsoft to develop a new version of iTunes that is fully compatible with Vista and I have chosen to wait until that version comes out before installing it again.
My question is if any of you have experienced issues like this? If you have, do you have any advice or things you did to make it work? Please comment here as I will be watching this post to see your responses.
My advice is to be very cautious when installing iTunes in Vista, especially with this sort of configuration. I've seen iTunes work fine in Vista before but this is the first time I've worked with a configuration like this. Please be aware of the potential problems. As I've stated earlier, everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. Have a great day!

Thank you for the great responses, guys! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
Rain-Man, your post is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. This computer is also running WD drives. I had a feeling that WD might have been some of the issue but it only happened on the SATA RAID config. The computer I set up right behind this PC (on another desk) is EXACTLY the same but does not have a RAID 1 setup and runs perfectly with iTunes.
Also, there is a Hauppauge TV tuner running in this PC and, in retrospect, I think may be conflicting with codecs. God forbid you would have multiple codecs installed on one PC....
I'm not going to sit here and bash WD or Hauppauge, but I'm not a big fan of either of these devices. One of the other things that bothers me is that the RAID is controlled by "Intel Matrix" which is the default software RAID controller in this HP product. There isn't any real control in the management console. All you can do is rebuild a failed array or view an existing configuration. That doesn't really say, "AWESOME" to me. Being an HP product I'm assuming this is pretty standard because it was the default software controller installed on this system.
Any way you look at it, I really appreciate the posts here. I agree that there is an issue that Apple needs to address. WD or not, the fact that people are having problems getting iTunes to work in Vista needs to be resolved. We pay for our music and our shows and our movies and deserve to have them working and not getting deleted, corrupted, or damaged when we try to play them or transfer them. I love the fact that Apple is incorporating new technology into their products but we pay for that technology and it should work.
If I hadn't backed up my client's iTunes folder I would have lost everything he paid for. He's a pretty cool guy but how would you feel if you lost a couple grand worth of music, TV, and movies? I would be pretty upset.
In the end, I think RAID or drive configuration on this PC is one of the major issues. It's something to do with the SATA controller and Vista combined with iTunes / Quicktime. I'm not exactly sure how that could be but I believe it's something Apple / Microsoft needs to investigate...
Please keep the posts coming as I will be checking here regularily for updates. Thanks for your input and I hope we're able to resolve this issue soon.

Windows Vista Ultimate & iPhone

Yesterday I received an iPhone for my birthday and discovered it doesn't work with Vista Ultimate. When I called Apple care they told me that the box clearly states only "Vista" as compatible. I find this very odd since I don't know of a plain "Vista". There is Home,Home Premium, Business,Ultimate, etc..
After some discussion they finally agreed to take it back without the restocking fee but I am still depressed about it.
Has there been any news about support for ultimate? Why does my iPod and iTunes run perfectly but the phone won't?

It doesn't work with Windows Vista 64-bit (I've tried) but it does work with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I'm using it now with no issues.

Windows Vista Ultimate Sign In

I have a HP Pavillion PC Laptop, dv9260us,....with the help of REO51st, I was able to sign in when first asked about the administrative password. Now I am at the Windows Vista Ultimate sign in, and no matter what I think might work, or have used in the past,...I am unable to sign in,....I have tried all the words I could think of. Any suggestions, help, techniques you gurus suggest,....please, I would appeciate any, and all ideas that you might think would work and the Windows Vista would let me in.
Continued success to all of you. By the way,....where 'do we' leave kudos for you very gifted individuals? You certainly deserve ir.............................Maxie

You should probably post your question in the Safari discussions, as it's not really related to Mac/Windows compatibility...the focus of this forum:

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on Satellite M40

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on this notebook. Vista hangs after installation and doesn't boot up. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hello
As far as I know older units are not Vista supported. I believe it is not necessary to say why. Satellite M40 is older notebook model and definitely not Vista supported. Many newer WXP preinstalled notebooks are Vista supported but Toshiba has for each model designed new BIOS version and before installing Vista the BIOS update must be done at first.
I can imagine that new BIOS is needed for M40 too but as I said before this machine is not Vista supported. I am very interested if someone will report more about Vista on Satellite M40.

Boot Camp & 64-Bit Windows Vista Ultimate

My wife and I purchased the latest top-of-the-line iMac about 10 days ago (3.06 Ghz (Core 2 Duo), 8 GB RAM, 24 inch). We were hoping to use Apple's Boot Camp in order to run a very specific 64-bit application on the Windows side.
To our astonishment, this top-of-the-line iMac cannot run 64-bit Windows (we have an additional copy of Windows Vista Ultimate). Only select Macs can run the 64-bit Windows OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
Does anybody think there is a chance that this might change with the arrival of Snow Leopard next month...?
I certainly hope so! I really need to run this one application a few times per week in association with some personal and work responsibilities.
By the way, I already tried Fusion (2) and didn't like the results (a little too slow). There are some who have said that Boot Camp is a little bit faster for some 64-bit applications. Don't know if this is true or not...

Hi,
have a look at the hatters post in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9730296&#9730296 for a workaround.
Hope it helps

MXF clips do not open in CS3 of CS4 (windows vista ultimate)

I have Sony DXCAM's MXF's which I can not import in Premiere (neither CS3 nor CS4). I did convert the original MXF's using Sony's DXCAM software.
Adobe claims it supports MXF files. Another editing company which uses CS3 can import XMF's using a Windows XP machine. I work on Vista Ultimate.
I have an itch that I am missing a vital codec of somekind, but I can not find out why my copies of CS3 and CS4 of Premiere Pro do not allow me to import MXF files. From within the Media browser in CS4 it results in the same disappointing result. It doesn't open.
When I tried to open one MXF file in CS3 the program crashes and forces me to close it. In CS4 I get an error message after importing which reads; "Unsupported format or damaged file."
Any help is very much appreciated, as I need to start my editing ASAP>
Thx!
Jan.
System specs short:
Windows Vista Ultimate

No Additional codecs installed.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your feedback. The first thing I tried was to import the MXF packages (I don't see lone MP4's) into Premiere. That did not work. So I exported the MXF files using Sony's U1 player/recorder.
I think its a Vista and/or codec problem, as my friend who workes on an XP machine is able to open MXF's in CS3.

CAM for Windows vista ultimate 64bit

Hello can some one tell me what cam I should buy for my 64bit windows vista ultimate please,
i would like to buy a new cam and want one that will work with the 64 bit vista,please advise.

OK, you're looking for a webcam.
I admit I don't know what's supported by Vista64, but I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and am very happy with it. Since it's USB Video Class (UVC) compliant it may even have drivers built into Vista (not sure of this, I don't run Vista on any of my machines, just XP and Linux.)
Do some research on Logitech models and you should find some with good Vista64 support.

Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
Please advise what to do.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.
Regards
Stefan

Problem with the new 64-bit edition of iTunes -- Windows Vista Ultimate

Very recently, I upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit to the 64-bit edition. I also downloaded the 64-bit edition of the Windows-based iTunes.
My individual iTunes music files were stored on a separate internal hard drive that was never a part of the upgrade overhaul (C: drive was upgraded to the 64-bit edition; my iTunes files are located on the D: drive).
After opening iTunes, I immediately went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced (tab) and changed the "iTunes Music folder location." I located my iTunes folder on the D: drive and clicked "Select Folder."
Unfortunately, nothing happened. Meaning, iTunes does not recognize any of the files located within this iTunes folder. This is the exact same iTunes folder that I used under the 32-bit edition of the OS.
I have nearly 50 GB of music files, none of which are now part of my music file library.
What's going on?

If the songs are not tagged correctly (title, album, artist at a minimum), they will go into Unknown.
If they are tagged correctly, go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced and uncheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized* then close the prefs.
Re-open prefs and recheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
All my music was imported from CDs using iTunes.
After unchecking "Keep iTunes music folder organized" it doesn't make any difference. Virtually everything is in "Unknown."
I can't believe this..... it's like iTunes doesn't recognize its previous handywork.
Very frustrating!
If anyone know a way to quickly clear this up, let me know.

Windows Vista Ultimate and Error -42018

Hi there,
I upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate about a month ago. I was trying to play music and download new content and the new content downloads would stop with -42018 - unexpected error.
I had to run the compatability wizard and allow Windows XP SP2 settings with administrator access to correct the issue.
I also lost most of my licensing when I upgraded. Hold off for I-Tunes to work with Vista if you are thinking about upgrading.
And on a side note, I think that the new Windows Media "Experience" in Vista is not all that great.

Live! Cam Voice - Microphone compatibility w/ Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently got the Live! Cam Voice for my computer with Windows Vista Ultimate. And for some reason the built in microphone won't work at all - even the voice recorder, the Yahoo! Messenger in which it was built for and Windows Live Messenger. However the actual webcam works fine. Is there anyway to get the microphone to be compatible with Ultimate?
