Window 7 x64 or x86?

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009...
I know I will have problem with sound and the iSight webcam, but I was wondering if it is better to install the 64 bits or the 32 bits version of Windows 7.
With Vista it was a no brainer since most of the drivers for the most common peripherals where available only in 32bits.
What is the most trouble free option for Windows 7? x64 or x86?
Cheers
Luca

I assume anyone reading, realized I meant "go from x86 32-bit to 64-bit" but I didn't catch it at the time!
Apple support for Windows could be improved and much better - a lot better. BootCamp drivers cause problems, need to be updated and current, and the warning message from Microsoft, you can say "okay but install anyway" and sometimes you just need to navigate the DVD (or copy to hard drive) and find the BootCamp64 part yourself - that is all, you could have stayed with Windows 7 x64.

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

Mavericks Bootcamp! Should I use Windows 7 or 8? x64 or x86?

What version of Windows works best with Mavericks Bootcamp? Should I use Windows 7 or 8? x64 or x86?

My preference Windows 7 because Windows 8 is designed for and works best on a touch screen computer.. Regardless, use 64 bit.

Installing x64 and x86 drivers for a HP Laserjet p1505n printer on Windows Server 2008

How do you install both x64 and x86 drivers for a p1505n on a 2008 server? I have now managed to install 64 bit drivers but can't install x86 drivers in the normal way using Additional Drivers from the Sharing tab. I am also trying to do similar for a laserjet 1022n printer.

On the 2008 Server x64 I installed the FULL driver package 163mb.
I installed the HP P1505n on Server 2008 and made sure that was working.
Then I went back in and did the Additional Driver thing and when it asked for the driver for x86 I went to the
C:\hp_P1000_P1500_Full_Solution folder and scrolled to the bottom and there was the x86 XP driver.
I hope this helps someone.

How to install apex on windows x64 with 10gR2?

Hello,
today I tried to install the http-server for our 10gR2-database. We are using windows x64.
But I cant find OHS for this release. How can I install apex then?
Regards,
Mark

have you tried the installation, or did you just ask in advance?
in the last wekks i did a lof of installation stuff on an x64 system using the old x32 versions. even oracle sw like 10.2.0.3 client etc.
and most oft the stuff was up and running just like on an x32 system.
just keep in mind that the directory structure an x64 is slightly different #
if u install x32 software the default installation path is "C:\Program Files (x86)" and in the registry a speacial key hklm\software\wow6432node
just in case you need to patch.
in my opinion it would be worth to give i a try, but remember not on a productive system.
i'd like to hear about your results
regards peter

No PKCS#11 support in JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64?

Hi there,
I successfully installed GlassFish 2.1 on Windows 2008 x64 with JDK 6 Update 13 for x64. Everything was ok until I wanted to access my USB token with a certificate on it trough an EJB.
I then had to reinstall everything based on 32-bit versions. Now it works again, but I'm not very satisfied with the solution because I wanted to have everything based 64-bit.
Why JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64 does not contain PKCS#11 support? When you have look to the x86 version support is available there.

If you load successfully your pkcs11 lib into java 32bit mean that the lib is 32bit.
You cannot load a 32bit native lib into java 64bit ( http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/HotSpotFAQ.html#64bit_native_porting ).
If you find the 64bit lib for your token, you should be able to use java64.

Hyper-V on Win2k8 SP 2 - windows server standard x86 not installiing

Hi,
I tried to install the Hyper V on the Win2k8 SP 2 - windows server standard x86 server but it doesnt work.
Downloaded the KB Windows6.0-KB950050-x86.msu. Couldnt install saying "The update does not apply to your system". Dont know why. Checking wmic qfe list it lists the KB file. Cant find it in server roles anywhere.

Hyper-V is only available on x64 Windows versions. No Hyper-V on x86/32 bit OS. In addiction Windows 2008 is only available on 32bit version. Starting from Windows Server 2008 R2, only x64 version is available.

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

J2SE 1.4.2 for Windows x64 bit download link

Dear All,
Can any one give me the link to download J2SE 1.4.2 for Windows x64 bit architecture?
Your help is highly appreciated.

There should be no issues with using SAP JVM from the start.
Probably no notes because is straightforward:
- Extract the SAP JVM (e.g. c:\sapjvm_4)
- Set JAVA_HOME (c:\sapjvm_4)
And start installation as per guide.
We have done this recently with Solman 7 EHP1 and NW 7 EHP1 (J2EE stack).
We did have issue on central instance install where the J2EE instance would not start part way through installation (server0 continually crashed and restarted with memory issues) so we had to adjust the instance settings as per SAP Note#1603093, before retrying in SAPINST and continuing.
We had this problem with both Solman & NW 7 EHP1.

Hi,
Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).

Oracle Express Database - Windows x64

At the risk of being seriously repetitive, I'll post a question I have seen in various forms for approximately 3.5 years. The user community needs to have a specific, fact-based answer to the problem of no x64 support on Windows. In several threads one can find via Google, people purporting to be Oracle representatives claim a supported version will be available "soon". Soon in my neck of the woods generally means a time frame less than 3 years, but what do I know. Can someone please, please provide a definitive statement of direction on this issue, and assuming this is coming "soon", it would be overwhelmingly wonderful to have a specific date. My company plans/desires/hopes to release software that would embed an Oracle Express db, and frankly I'm about to throw in the towel if I can't get some visibility to this question. As I've heard from many ex customers, "there's always Sql Server".
Regards, Roger Carter, President, DBConnect Solutions, Inc.

Thanks for the update. I followed up with Oracle internally via our Oracle Partnership channel, and they checked with the VP of development responsible for XE. The official response is "there is no date where this will be provided for Windows x64. It is, however, under consideration." In my 25+ years of working with Oracle, I will give you my translation - it is not going to happen anytime soon, and to your point, it will probably be version 12 before you see anything. For us, this is a huge disappointment, and it means we will be abandoning many thing with Oracle. It's my view that they don't care about this vertical one bit.

Oracle XE on Windows x64

Hello, is possible to install Oracle Express Edition on Windows x64 ? When I try to install I get error "Error: 1719 The Windows Installer Service could not be acessed"

Hi,
In fact, Oracle didn’t have a x64 version for Oracle XE, but usually 32 bits softwares run without problems in x64 platforms ... Have you checked out if is there any O/S user's privilege issue related to this problem?
Cheers

11g R2 - 2 node RAC on Windows X64 2003 Server

hi
we are soon going to start building a 2 node 11g R2 RAC on Windows X64 2003 server
questions
1. In 11g R2, is creating 2 disk group DATA and FRA still considered the best practice?
2. On which disk group should we place the OCR and Voting Disk
3. If there are issues placing OCR and Voting Disk on ASM (there definitely appears to be some concerns / reported issues on this), is using OCFS2 still a viable option?
4. Can someone point us to a document such as step by step installation of 11g R2 RAC on Windows with ASM or best practices 11g R2 RAC on Windows?
thanks

A bit late maybe, but you can check Note 811271.1 - RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows).

Installation XE 11. on Windows x64 ( 64-bit) 2008

Dear All ,
I want to know if latest XE edition is certified on Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) 2008 OS ?
We have installed specific version on Windows x64 (64-bit) 2008 OS.
We get the following error :
OER 7451 in Load Indicator : Error Code = OSD-04500: illegal option specified
O/S-Error: (OS 1) Incorrect function. !
and there is a respective Doc ID :
Note 1060806.1: OER 7451 in Load Indicator : Error Code = OSD-04500: illegal option specified
Action Plan
========
1. Install 64-bit version of Oracle database software.
2. Upgrade the database from 32-bit version to 64-bit version.
Can we use Oracle XE on specific OS ?

Hello,
I want to know if latest XE edition is certified on Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) 2008 OS ?No. See [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH]XE's System Requirements for details.
Similar error messages have been reported here before, e. g. in {message:id=10665775}.
It seems possible to get XE started on 64bit Windows, but it might be a hard fight, especially on a server OS with other possible traps..
Can we use Oracle XE on specific OS ?Sure, all certified 32bit Windows versions or 64bit Linux versions would be fine. See {thread:id=2278170} to get a full report.
