VISTA (32 bit) SP1

Over the 6 months or so I have read about various problems regarding installing Vista and also problems with the video card. Can anybody update me before I buy it! I would install it with BC v.2.0 and then download BC v.2.1. Are there still many problems or did SP1 and v.2.1 resolve most if not all?

I have noted that there was a problem with updating the video card and as I will want to run games that could be frustrating! But what exactly is the problem? I see from NVIDIA website that you have to be running Windows to download and update. So I will not know the extent of the problem until I have bought VISTA! I also have picked up that the download installer cannot "recognise" my card because Apple are using the "mobile" version for the chip (i.e. the suffix M). Can anybody tell me if this has been resolved because I am sure Apple will blame NVIDEA and vice versa if I have problems!!

  • Vista 64-bit SP1 downloading

    I suppose the rule, "All things come to he who sits and waits," applies in this case.
    I purposely did not download the huge multilanguage SP1 patch but decided to wait for MS to offer me the proper update. This morning, after a small Defender security update, I checked again for updates, and the SP1 was available. For my configuration, it's 121.5MB and the download is extremely slow - not from my end, however: I guess the MS server is busy. It even stalled several times for a few minutes; it's up to 94% right now, and stalled again.
    I will install it and report back after whatever happens happens

    Unless you have the Taskbar set to hide, it is just as clear and obvious as the Dock that there is a message needing attention.
    Took less than half an hour (Mac Pro, 10K Raptor, 6GB) for same 124MB size install. I like the way it actually prepares the update and doesn't try to make changes to the system and kernel until shutdown while it configures - I think it safer than 'live update' OS X has used, but I understand people want fewer restarts if possible. If being safe and operative.
    Maybe because I did a test run of SP1 RC I sort of knew what to expect. 124MB seems to pack a lot (highly compressed). Apple combo updates have come in 300MB. I saw a 'warning' that Microsoft expected you might need 101-15GB of free space for SP1 for Vista Ultimate 64-bit, which means there really is a lot going on during the update, which is why I ran the SFC.exe scannow plus did a disk check ahead of time to be safe, along with cleaned up temp files and such beforehand.
    I have the taskbar set to autohide in Vista, yes. But I have the Leopard dock also set to autohide.
    With Winders, there is an "icon" for each open window, but unlike Apple, you have to look for it. It does not bounce.
    I know better from past experience, but many Winders users do not know about the infamous pop-under. Why it doesn't grab priority and appear on top of all the other windows is beyond me, but again, with Apple, even with a hidden dock, when you need to do something, it bounces and grabs your attention.
    The install time may be related to the HD. I chose the larger, (250GB) and slower HD for this MBP, knowing I would be installing Vista. I think it's 5400 as opposed to 7200 RPM, but I am not sure.
    No matter, the system seems to be as good as it can get, and once again, I am at a loss to understand why Vista is so ragged on by people. I think it's a fine OS, and the fact that it runs well on a Mac makes it even more useful.
    I initially installed it as a "toy" but now I am serious about it, and will be buying another external drive for backups. I like the idea that it has built-in full backup capability to almost any media, but who is going to use a bunch of DVDs? Even a set of Blu-ray DVDs would be expensive and silly.
    I will get another LaCie 500GB drive, since the two I have are working perfectly with no problems at all.

  • Vista 32 bit sp1 hangs and printer not supported by a wireless network

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS and an HP Photosmart C4385 All-in-one Printer. Once intalled it was working fine until I moved. Now I have uninstalled and reinstalled it due to these problems. The Hp hpqddsvc.dll is causing a service hang on starting my OS and the printer keeps saying it is not a wireless printer. I let hp take control of my laptop for 5 hours and 3 tiers of techs later they got nowhere. Has this problem been seen by anyone and is it fixable?
    Sincerely,

    What type of personal SW firewall or security suite are you running on your Vista machine?  Does the hang go away if you disable or uninstall the firewall?

  • Cannot install in Vista 32 Bit SP1

    Hi
    I've called support in the USA but they could not help.
    I've checked answers to similar topics on this forum but to no avail.
    This is what's happening:
    Download and extract is working fine.
    When I click on set up file windows opens for 4 secs then closes.
    Things I have tried:
    Rebooted
    Rebooted in safe mode
    Tried it with user account control on and off
    Tried it with AVG firewall turned off
    Ran system restore and re-downloaded again
    Went into msconfig and disabled start up programs.
    Any ideas? I want to try this product first before shelling out £££'s.

    Julian,
    Adobe's Tech Support for installation issues is free. In my few uses of this service, it has been fast (even limited hold time), and they have quickly and easily solved every install problem that I've had over 20 years. I'd try them again.
    You have already done most of the things that I'd have recommended. I don't have any tricks to try, beyond what you have already attempted.
    Fortunately, I (and most of the people here) have not had any install problems. It is something beyond our expertise. What I do know of install issues, I've picked up in the various Adobe forums. Only problem I've ever had was a multi-version upgrade to AI, and my ancient S/N was not in the new version's database. Adobe gave me the keys that I needed in about 2 mins., with 5 mins. hold. Quick and easy.
    You are posting into the best forum for CS3. Unfortunately, your problem is not, "where's the Ripple Delete Tool?"
    Be patient, as maybe someone here WILL have had your problem. The majority will not. Sorry.
    Give Adobe another call, and maybe you'll get a good tech rep this time.
    Also, Harm was just stating what I did, but with fewer words (and commas!).
    i Sorry, inside joke around around here.
    Good luck,

  • Vista 64-bit Won't Update after Hard Drive Replacemen​t

    My daughter has a Satellite L305-S5945 laptop (Model Number: PSLB8U-107071).  Running Vista 64-bit SP1.  She got a message that Windows detected a problem with the hard drive.  After I ran the usual virus scans (no threats or malware detected) and chkdsk route, we were still getting the message.  I did a reformat and Windows re-install and still got the message.  The old drive was a Toshiba MK1655GSX.
    I decided to replace it with a new drive, a Toshiba MK3259GSX.  Using the same recovery disks that were created off the old drive, I reinstalled Vista 64-bit SP1 on to the new drive.  Windows loaded fine, recognized the new drive, and then recovered all the Toshiba drivers via the recovery disks.
    ISSUES:
    1) As soon as it released control back to me, I immediately went to Windows Update to begin the downloads of all the updates and security fixes.  However, Windows Update remained red and informed that Windows could not update.  Then it gave me a error code: 8024A000.  It will not check to see if I need updates.
    2) I deleted the pre-installed Norton 60-day trial product (first with Windows uninstaller, then used Norton Removal Tool for all the little pesty registry entries) and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  After going through a few screens of the SE installation, I got a message that installation had failed, and gave me an error code of 0x80070643.
    3) For fun, I removed the new hard drive, replaced with the old failing drive.  Still got the message about the hd problem, but had no problem updating  Windows or running SE.
    4) On the new drive, in glancing through the WindowsUpdate log, I'm seeing a LOT of 0xc8000247 errors (relating to datastore, getservicelist, queryregisteredprovider, etc.)
    I am assuming-perhaps incorrectly-that all these errors are related?  Other than the updates, Vista is working fine on the new drive.
    Any ideas?

  • Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

    I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
    I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
    My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
    While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
    Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks!
    Peter.

    Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

    Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
    As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
    Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

  • Windows repair installation Pavilions a6720y Windows Vista 64 bit

    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    I recently had a serious PC problem. I knew that I would have to hand my PC over to someone and selected a Local Technical Specialists (Geek Squad) who diagnosed it as a crashed main HD, installed a new Drive and reinstalled the OS from recovery disks provided by HP.
    I personally had to reinstall many programs and settings. I needed specialist assistance to reestablish my home network that did work before the crash with the same hardware but not after.
    My Main PC is a desktop:
    HP Pavillian,
    Model a6720y,
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit,
    6GB Physical Memory,
    connected to a DSL Modem via Ethernet connection.
    My second PC is a Dell Pavillion B130 Laptop, Windows XP
    DSL Modem provided by Verizon, is a WestTell modem.
    I have an External 1 TB HD from HP, a HP HD3000, Ser # TH1B32Y047
    The System Recovery was performed with discs that I received from HP. System Recovery, Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, HP505283-001, Build ID 91ANv6PrA1.
    I am contacting you because I believe that something went wrong with the reinstallation or there was more that should have been done after the initial Reinstall.
    Within hours of bringing the PC home, I discovered that Windows Media Player was not working. I contacted the local support organization. They advised that yes there was a problem with Windows Media Player and downloaded an alternate program for playing Videos, VLC.
    After installing several 3rd party program that were Video DVD maker Utilities, I started to have problems that did not exist before the reinstall. This is of course with the same hardware except for the new Internal HD.
    I contacted the local support because I was having serious problems reestablishing my at home local network. I was informed that there were some serious Vista problems.
    Can you comment on the above?
    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    My PC is out of warranty but I did purchase and renew that HP Care Pack Support Service. That may also have expired. My last renewal that I can find was Tran # CA03207588-0001.
    Your response to the above, especially your advice on a Windows Repair would be appreciated.

  • Convert Website to PDF on Vista 64-bit

    Hi,
    using Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on Vista 64-bit both German versions. In Internet Explorer I see the Acrobat toolbar with all menu items. But regardless what I choose (Convert to PDF, Settings etc.) nothing happens! All other Microsoft Office Plugins work fine. All desired IE-AddOns seem to be there.
    For installation I manually expanded the AdobePDF.dll_64 from Data1.cab, renamed it and used it within the installation process. The problem occured both on Vista Business 64 and Ultimate 64 (DVD incl. SP1) which I installed yesterday on a fresh formatted partition.
    Any Ideas? Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Solution: Download a current distribution of Acrobat Professional 8.
    New download: 515 MB
    Original download: 478 MB
    With the original distribution I was prompted for the AdobePDF.dll at the end of the installation process. However, with Vista SP1 installed first, neither method of supplying the AdobePDF.dll_64 (renamed of course) or AdobePDF.dll file worked.
    Note: If I tried using the *.dll_64 it would give me a javascript error when printing from a web page.
    I also replaced splwow64.exe and spoolsv.exe with copies from Vista SP1 distributable. This didn't remedy the problem either.
    I did notice that two sets of files were created during the print process:
    00001.SHD SHD File 3KB
    00001.SPL ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash 0KB
    The only way to remove these files from C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS was to issue a net stop command.
    "net stop spooler"
    The files are still in use so you must stop the splwow64.exe process (hint: use Task Manager). Then you can delete the files. If you do not delete these files before reinstalling, these files will still show up in the Print Manager.
    To restart the printer subsystem, issue the following command: "net start spooler"
    I also came across a tech document indicating that a manifest error found in the Event Viewer should be looked at. It suggested that Nero 8 could be the culprit. Hence, I removed Nero 8 completely and used a clean up too as directed (General-CleanTool.zip or General-CleanTool_2_2_0_37.exe). This didn't remedy the problem either.
    I then found a tech document that said to install the update Windows6.0-KB930627-x64 ..... (MS quote) Install this update to resolve an issue where the private data of the DEVMODE data structure may be corrupted on a 64-bit version of Windows when using a 32-bit application in raw mode to print a document. (end of MS quote) Since Vista SP1 was installed it was not possible to install this patch.
    Also, there was another tech document that suggested that I install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Redistributable Package (x64) .... (aka: vcredist_x64.exe). Once installed, it did trigger an unexpected event. It triggered the installation of MS Office 2003 Service Pack 3 via the Update process. Previoulsy, Vista did not even hint that there was additional download available. How do you like that for bugs in Vista? *sigh*
    I previously mentioned in the above postings that this only affected the Internet browsers. However, after further investigation I found I could not print a PDF from any application. This included all the applications under MS Office too.
    One other note: After finally finding a solution, I found that Internet Explorer 8 (Beta 2) was not a good choice to use with the PDF Print function. It cuts off the sides of the web page and prints only the first web page. Additional pages are left blank in the final PDF document. Therefore, I removed the update (IE 8 is considered an update by MS).

  • 4 GB RAM modules PC-8500? for Vista-64 bit, Windows-7-64 bit

    More and more people people are going 64-bit Vista and especially Windows-7 is heading in that direction:

    Dated: 7/30/2008
    Using data from its Windows Update servers, Microsoft calculated that 1.45% of all Windows Vista machines were running x64 Vista editions in March of this year. By June, that figure was up to 5.18%. That number is actually more impressive than it sounds: by my back-of-the-envelope calculations, making that shift in total market share means that at least 20% of all Vista PCs sold in the second quarter of this year came with 64-bit editions of Windows Vista preinstalled. By fall, it’s possible, even likely, that we’ll reach a tipping point, with more than 50% of new PCs sold at retail coming with 64-bit editions of Windows Vista preinstalled.
    The problem is that for laptops you need to use expensive 4 GB SODIMMs which for PC2-5300  which is used in the older T61 you can purchase for about $200 each for a total of $400 for 8 GB which is not too bad of a price:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231202
    But the newer laptops use the faster PC3-8500 which comes in the 2 GB module at $45 for a total of $90 for 4 GB.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148192
    And the 4 GB PC3-8500 is about $500 or a total of $1000 for 8 GB.
    http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT51264BC1067
    Is there a way to use the cheaper PC2-5300 4 GB modules in the T400 and save $600?

    I have been looking into this subject for the past month and, being a total geek, think it might be fun installing 8 gigs of RAM on my system.
    I know it's overkill, but why not...
    edited my question out because i found out the answer and now feel like an idiot.

  • Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

         Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not!  I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
         I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me  significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
         Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer.  Probably late next year for the new computer.
         Thanks for any advice.  Jean

    Jean,
    I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
    One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
    Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.

  • Our Setup: XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit?

    Let me break down the situation here:
    A year ago we built a computer from scratch. I'll list some of the basic specs here:
    A nice Tyan motherboard (can't remember the model)
    4 GB of RAM (4 x 1 GB sticks)
    an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX video card
    TWO Dual-Core AMD Opteron 270 (2.0 GHz) - [dualcore + dualprocessor]
    10k Raptor hard drive for operating system
    3x500GB RAID as "video" hard drive
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    Now, after building this computer over a year ago, Windows Vista had JUST been released, so we weren't interested in installing Vista yet, due to not knowing how great it would be. So with this awesome computer, we ended up just installing regular 32-bit ole' Windows XP on it.
    Now it's been a year, and the computer is in need of a good format. We're trying to decide which operating system to install now. Obviously, XP32 is the SAFEST choice, but probably the slowest, considering we have dual-core dual-processor here and 4GB of RAM, and want to take advantage of all of this.
    So I guess we're kind of wondering what to expect if we go to XP64 or Vista64. Which is going to give us better performance? This computer is basically ONLY for video editing, not much else. Literally installing Adobe's software, and maybe small needed things like Nero and whatnot. I haven't really heard too much about XP64, and a lot of the stuff I hear about Vista is conflicted. AND also keep in mind that next month, XP will be upgrading to SP3 and Vista will be upgrading to SP1, and VistaSP1 sounds quite promising.
    All of the hardware and software we have apparently has Vista drivers (I've checked online), so there should be no concern here.
    So it's simple. We're on XP32 at the moment. Should we go up to XP64 or Vista64, and if so, and which one and why?

    Adobe Dynamic Link "Import After Effects comp" fails in Vista Business 64 bit
    I am posting this, since in my search, I found no other reference to this problem on the web. If someone has a fix then great. Should someone have the same issue, it may confirm a glitch running CS3 Production Premium in Vista 64 bit. I run XP 64 bit and Vista 64 bit on a dual boot (same hardware) so it was easy for me to troubleshoot the " serious error" Premier gave me when I tried to import an After Effects comp through Dynamic link in Premier Pro. Below is the scenario.
    1. The following sequence for Adobe Dynamic Link>New After Effects Composition works fine in both Win XP Pro 64 bit and Vista Business 64 bit :
    I open After Effects CS3 to an untitled composition then leave AFX running in the background. Next I Open Premier Pro CS3 to create a new project in the following format:
    Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced). 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
    Editing mode: DV NTSC
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 720h 480v (0.900)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    In Premier Pro CS3 I choose File> Adobe Dynamic Link>New After Effects Composition. My project window now has a 11 sec dynamic link linked comp 0 movie file which is black video. I return to After Effects and find a new comp named "dynamic link Linked Comp". I import a Microsoft DV 720 X 480 48.000kHz/16 bit stereo 30 sec video into the AFX Project window then drag it to the timeline. I return to Premier Pro and find the 30 sec movie in the Premier timeline. I am able to make changes to the movie in AFX and they reflect in the Premier timeline.
    2. The next sequence for Adobe Dynamic Link>Import After Effects fails running on my Vista Business 64 bit OS. It works perfectly running on Win XP Pro 64 bit.
    I open After Effects, import an NTSC Microsoft DV 720 X 480 48.000kHz/16 bit stereo 30 sec video, drag video into the "create a new comp button" at the bottom of the project file then save the comp. I open a new Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced) project in Premier Pro CS3 then choose File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition. I get an Adobe Premier Alert " Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." I click OK and Premier closes.
    System: Dual boot Win XP Pro 64 bit and Vista Business 64bit, 3.2 GHz Pentium D 940 Dual core, Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard, 8 gig Crucial DDR-2 667 ram, WD 5000AAKS and WD 7500AAKS SATA hard drives, Dual Asus EAX300 Video cards.
    The above comparisons were done on a fresh load of both OS's with the latest drivers and the only programs I had installed were Microsoft Office 2003 Pro, Quicktime, Firefox and Acrobat. I have all the latest CS3 updates for Production Premium and the latest Windows updates.

  • VISTA 32 BIT DRIVERS

    Okay, i have purchased Vista Home Premium SP1 32 Bit. I will install it later, but i would like to know if there are any other drivers that i need to install besides the drivers included in the OS X installation disc. I have a 15.4" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro with NVIDIA 8600 GT 256MB graphics card and 4GB RAM with a 160GB 5600rpm HDD. I have read that you need to install the latest drivers for my graphics card and i understand that.
    1.) What other drivers do i need besides the graphics card drivers?
    2.) Can i download them and put them on a flash drive and upload them to my Windows OS
    P.S. one more question:
    3.) Do i need to download DirectX9 for my 32 bit OS from the internet running Windows, or can I download the setup and put it on my flashdrive and transfer it. Also, can i download DirectX10 on my 32 bit? or is that just for 64bit? Or, better yet, does DirectX even need to be downloaded onto my new OS??
    THANKS SO MUCH!
    cheers

    Well, the Mac OS install disk includes all the drivers you need for all the hardware you have. You don't need to download anything separately.
    You don't need to download Direct X. Direct X 10 comes with Vista.

  • Trouble installing Vista 64 bit home premium

    I am trying to use boot camp to install Vista 64 bit home premium. The disk is a full install. Boot camp works fine, but when I insert the windows disk and attempt to boot off of it, I am confronted with a screen that gives me two options with no names, labeled only 1 and 2, and instructions to select a CD boot type. However, I cannot select any of them because my keyboard does not work! I have tried several times, with several partition sizes, and even brought out an old USB Microsoft keyboard, which is still not recognized. I have done this with only non-apple peripherals, as well - microsoft mouse, acer monitor, and all USB devices plugged directly into the back of the computer. I have not seen this problem listed anywhere else, so can anyone here help me? I have looked everywhere. Thank you.

    It is an issue iwth our older EFI 1.x (or EFI32) and Vista SP1 64-bit that needs UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
    Sort of the same issue as the Nvidia 8800GT had to come out in two flavors.
    I have Windows already installed, older pre-SP1, and from there I can install SP1 DVD.
    At this point, I much prefer Windows 7 over Vista x64 SP1 or SP2(beta). Just runs better. Last day tomorrow maybe to download.

  • ITunes Not Responding with Vista 64-bit Running on Dell Studio 15

    Hi!
    I am running Vista 64-bit SP2 and downloaded the newest 64-bit version of iTunes. My music is located on an external network drive. Every time I open iTunes it starts to load the music and then just sits there and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.
    I had the same setup only using XP on my old laptop and iTunes ran fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing a problem? I started with a brand new laptop with Vista SP1 and had the same error. So I just upgraded to Vista SP2 thinking that might help but it had no effect.
    Thank you for any suggestions, I don't know what else to try...

    Have you had look at this page, it may be of some help: iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch failures
