Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? (Main idea: Performance & Stability)

Hello guys
Currently I have installed Windows 7 32 bit. I'm thinking of changing to the 64 bit version as in 32 bit, Windows only use 2.72GB RAM although I have 4GB RAM on my MacBook Pro 13(you have 4GB RAM, but your computer only use 2.72GB. What a waste)
I use Windows for games, sometimes for office works (when it comes working with my friends which mostly of them using Windows)
Currently, I have no problem using the 32 bit.No lags.Fast boot
I'm wondering, if I use the 64 bit, booting is faster?Less lags?
(one of my friend use Vista Home Premium 64 bit said that boot using the 64 bit is quite longer than the 32 bit, but the performance is much better then 32 bit)
I have read some articles regarding gaming on Windows 7 64 bit. Problems, crashing and sometimes BSOD!
Quite scary on hearing that...
So, anybody can give me a piece of advice?

Well, my computer does show the installed RAM as 4GB. But, when I open Computer Properties, it shows:
RAM installed: 4.00GB (2.72GB Usable)
When I check with another tools(TuneUp), it also shows that the RAM that used by Windows 7 is 2.72GB

Windows 7 64 bit wireless latency

I have been struggling with an odd issue effecting openvpn on Windows 7 64-bit wireless. Performance is very sluggish and my ping latency is very high across the openvpn connection when compared to WinXP wireless and Win7 wired connections.
This appears to be an issue with the Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN wireless card. No firmware updates are available from Lenovo or Intel for the card.
Average ping latency is 30ms across vpn from WinXP in both wireless and wired as well as Win7 wired. But goes to 130ms+ from Win7 wireless connection! This translates to a remote session that is like working through molasses. Stepping through code in Visual Studio on a remote machine from the Windows 7 machine when on a wireless connection has so much lag time it becomes unusable. Making the remote connection on a wired ethernet or WinXP wireless N is as responsive as sitting in front of the remote machine.
Appears that my MTU is optimal for my internet connection. I tested and found that 1480 is the minimum size packet where I can ping and return a "Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set." response. So I am leaving my MTU at 1500 on both wired and wireless on Win7 machine.
So far I have (I believe) ruled out the following:
Firewalls - both windows and at router - have turned off both with no effect
Antivirus - no change with it deactivated
Router settings - put laptop in DMZ and no change
MTU - tested 1500 as optimal
Thinkpad drivers and BIOS - all latest
Has anyone else run into issues with this Intel 1000 wireless card?
Thanks,
Jeff

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a real problem with wireless performance on multiple ThinkPads with Win7 until I realized there is a new (or maybe changed implementation) power setting in Win7 which was affecting it.
If you go into Control Panel -> Power Options and click "Change plan settings" for your current power plan.
On the next screen click on "Change advanced power settings"
On the next screen expand "Wireless Adapter Settings" and then "Power Saving Mode"
Make sure it is set to Maximum Performance.
Not sure if this will help your particular problem but hope it does.

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).

look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!
Matt
he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same

RMBP, Windows 7 64 bit, thunderbolt external drive

I finally figured out how to install and run Win 7 off of my thunderbolt drive (seagate).
the rMBP requires a FAT partition to be created on the interal SSD. If you use bootcamp utility it creates a huge 20GB partition. I was able to create a small FAT partition on the internal SSD and then proceed to install and run win 7 off of the external thunderbolt drive.
PROCEDURE:
1. run diskutil command:
Code:
diskutil list
you will need to know if your internal SSD is disk0 or disk1 (in this guide it was disk0
2. Create the small partition:
***my ssd is a 512 GB drive, you can break down the partition here ***
Code:
diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0s2 494G MS-DOS FAT 5G
3. Within Mac, create a single msdos partition on the external thunderbolt drive. (GUID or MBR)
4. for the rMBP, use the Bootcamp assistant utility to create your USB windows 7 installer from an iso and also with the bootcamp drivers.
5. Reboot and press the option key at the chime.
6. Choose the windows installer
7. at the drive screen of the installer you will see your 2 drives. drive0 maybe the external. Format the external drive ntfs and then install to the drive.
8. On reboot and eventually install bootcamp drivers.
Trial and error:
I tried install without internal partition and received 0x8030024 error which in some of apple forums can be overcome by removing the main drive. I did this but installer would freeze.
Good luck. If you need any help let me know.

I have a related question. I have a 2012 top-of-the-line iMac with Thunderbolt, and I already have the internal SSD partitioned into both Mac and Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit. The internal hard drive is also partitioned into both mac and PC hard drives I just added a 4 TB external Thunderbolt drive (Seagate Backup Plus using the external Seagate Thunderbolt adapter/dock), and I do NOT want to install Windows bootcamp on the external drive - I just want to partition it so that the Mac has access to 2 TB and Bootcamp has access to the other 2 TB. Using Mac Disk Utility, I can easily partition it, although I can't format the PC side into NTSF. However, when I startup using Windows, it doesn't seem to recognize either of the external hard drive partitions that the Mac side already recognizes. The Mac side even assigned little icons (automatically) to both partitions showing the Seagate harddrive docked in its little Thunderbolt adapter/dock. The PC side didn't assign icons, and didn't recognize either partition UNTIL I WENT INTO PC DISK MANAGEMENT AND FORMATTED THE PC PARTITION AGAIN, as NTSB. Now the PC side recognizes the Windows Partitions, but still doesn't recognize the Mac partition - it says that partition hasn't been formatted yet. Oddly, the Mac side still recognizes both partitions even after I changed the PC version. So what's going on here? Does Windows require some sort of Thunderbolt driver in order to correctly recognize an external hard drive that Mac Disk Utility has formatted? I didn't have this problem on the internal hard drive that come in my iMac - it's recognized easily by both PC and Mac.
I am using only the Windows NTSF partition on the external hard drive at the moment. I transferred all my Steam games to it as an experiment (about 350 GB). The games are running just fine, but it seems that the frame rates and speeds are slower than they were on the original internal hard drive. I bought the external Thunderbolt drive because it was supposed to be faster.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks!

Lightroom 3 super slow on new Windows 7 64 bit...Why?

I've recently switched over to Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, running 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1GB ATI Radeon 4800 series video card, 1920px monitor and have found the performance in Lightroom 3.4.1 much slower than I did on Windows XP, 32 bit running 2GB of RAM with a 128MB motherboard card (laptop to boot).
Why is this happening? The main issues are extremely slow imports (minimal previews set as default when importing), very delayed thumbnail (preview) rendering (the grid view sometimes sits with half the thumbnails rendered, and half not rendered, then all of a sudden, a minute or two later, all will be rendered...), and slow, in-consistent 1:1 rendering. I've tried all the different combos when it comes to preview rendering but nothing does the trick. I've even tried switching my 10GB LR3 (ACR?) cache to different drives but nothing does the trick.
Could this be an issue with the Catalyst Control Center (software controling my video driver)? It's all I've got left to consider but would very much like a resolution.
Thanks in advance.

Try the performance optimization tips here first:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400808.html
Optimize your catalog(s), render 1:1 previews on import, and make sure your Cache folder isn't near the setting in LR preferences. If necessary, increase your Cache size and see if that helps.
If you regularly use Standby Mode to turn off your system, try shutting down Windows AND REMOVE AC POWER. If you have other connected devices (storage, camera, game, etc.) that use a separate power supply, disconnect them from AC power as well. Wait at least 10 seconds, then restore AC power to all devices, and reboot your system. This called a "cold boot," which will insure restoring ALL hardware devices, operating system, background applications and drivers to a known good state.
When I'm done for the day my OS is "Shut Down" and the main AC power strip turned off. It is the ultimate surge protection – NO CONNECTION. When I reboot the next morning I know all my system memory and other resources are freed up and available for my designated usage.
Following these guidelines I have absolutely no issues running LR 3.4.1 on my Windows 7 64 bit system.

Cannot install iTunes 12.1.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit)

Hello. I've tried to do this about 10 times now and it's driving me crazy. The new iTunes update installed first time and works fine on my laptop (Win 7 home premium, 32 bit) but it absolutely refuses to work on my desktop (Win 7 home premium, 64 bit, quad core, 8gb RAM, ample hard drive space). I've been using iTunes for years and had no problems with the previous version.
The installation hangs 75% of the way through each attempt, with the message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I then get 3 options of abort, retry and ignore. If I retry it just keeps coming back to the same message. If I ignore then the installation completes but I then get the message "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7". Then, every time I restart my machine or try to launch iTunes I get the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)".
Here's what I've tried, in various combinations:
ensured I have installed all windows updates
uninstalled all iTunes and related programmes in the order specified on the Apple support pages (via Control Panel and the executable file), restarted, removed all the associated folders and files (including all 32 and 64 bit versions) from the Program Files directory on my C drive (where the iTunes installation is located), verified that they are gone.
cleared cache and temporary internet files from my browser, emptied the recycle bin
uninstalled QuickTime
installed the executable iTunes package via "Run as administrator"
tried the "Repair" option from both Control Panel and via the executable file
unpacked the Apple Mobile Device Service separately and installed separately
And nothing makes any difference to the result. I can't help but think there that is some kind of incompatibility between the latest version of A.M.D.S. and the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit. I'm not interested in whether it's Apple's or Microsoft's fault but I would like a solution, even if that solution is reinstalling an older version of iTunes. I hope you can help.

A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.3 Blue Screen of Death on Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.3 on a Windows 7 (64-bit) machine. Whenever I try and use the PgUp or PgDn keys or even use the main vertical scrollbar it produces a Blue Screen of Death. Saying the Video Scheduler has encountered an unexpected error.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix?
Thanks
Martin

Kind of old this version, but I cab run the 10.1.3.3 version on my win7 64bit system withotu a problem. Only thing I changed was the theme (not sure which one as I don't have access to the pc right now).
Can be a problem with your hardware. Check if there are newer version of graphic drivers availabe.

Oh, and don't try to run it with jdk 1.6 or 1.7. Use the jdk bundeled with jdev

Spartan 3E with Labview 2012 (32 bit) on WIndows 7 64-bit - Error Code: -310602 NI-COBS: Unable to communicate with device over communication cable.

Thanks for the info, Kyle. I will probably try to find an older 32-bit XP machine. VM is just not an option for me right now.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to use the DIgilent Spartan 3E board with Labvew 2012 SP1 32 bit. I am able to compile the example code for LED shift. I am however unable to transfer code to the FPGA. I get the following error message:
Error Code: -310602
NI-COBS: Unable to communicate with device over communication cable.
Please verify that the cable is connected to a supported device and that the appropriate drivers are installed.
My system configuration is as follows:
Windows 7 (64 bit) on Dell XPS laptop.
Labview 2012 SP1 (32 bit)
Labview FPGA 2012 SP1
Labview 2012 FPGA support for Spartan3E
Xilinx 13.4 tools
DEFB LV FPGA 2012sp1 support installer
Xilinx USB cable driver v1.3 installed.
I took all the precautions mentioned by others on this forum and others, mainly that the cable must be disconnected before installing the Xilinx cable driver. All software and drivers were installed correctly. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the entire Labview software set I had. I still get the same error.
A few other questions:
1. Is the Xilinx cable different from a regular USB cable of the same configuration ?
2. When I program the FPGA I only have the USB cable connected between my computer and the Spartan 3e board. Should any other cable be connected ?
3. What should be the correct jumper settings for J1 - JP30 (especially J30, J11, JP9, JP6, JP7, etc) ?
I have been at this or over 3 days trying to figure it out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Decisions with fresh install in windows 7 64 bit

Hi community,
I'm setting up a new laptop running windows 7 64 bit, and I'm trying to decide the best way to serve Application Express.
I count 5 main options
1) Embedded Gateway
2) Install the complete 11g "companion" tier
3) Use Apex Listener EA with WebLogic Server
4) Use Apex Listener EA with Tomcat
5) Use Apex Listener EA with OC4J
I don't want to use the embedded gateway, and I want to keep things fairly light on the laptop.
This page offered concise setup instructions for the three options with the Apex Listener
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_listener_install_web.html
But after trawling many comments on one major thread, I can't determine the pros and cons for these options. I was wondering if anyone can provide a link or information with concise details why you'd choose one option over the other?
Once Apex Listener moves past EA, will it perhaps be advantageous to have selected one over the other? Is it easy to roll back installation of certain options?
I'm leaning towards WLS, since that has ties with othe Oracle components, but Tomcat seems thin an non-invasive for my laptop.
Thoughts?
Scott.

I've ended up using the new production release of Apex Listener with Glassfish.
Good work on the new installation instructions, they are much more informative.
My major hurdle with Glassfish was attempting to use the JDK that came with 11gr2. It took a colleague to spot I was using 1.5.x instead of 1.6.0.20 - I sourced this version from my Windows 7 64bit install.
Now to attempt installing 10gR2 with Apex3.2 on the same box

IMac 27" heat issue in windows 7 64-bit

I have installed Windows 7 64-bit on my iMAC27" i7 machine. it's working fine with no evident issues.
But lately I found that the fan is always blowing hot air and the back of my iMAC is hot (especially on the upper left side of the back of the screen). It gets hot even if it was locked or not activities are there.
But I don't get this issue when I am using the Snow Leopard MacOS , the MAC operates fine and everything is cold?
any help please? because I work mainly in W7 and I don't want the machine to wear down because of the heat.

As long as the machine is operating fine forget about it, you are simply noticing heat leaving the machine through the exhaust vent. My suggestion (and it's probably unpopular) is if you can leave Windoze just dump it and run everything in OS X. Leave virus's, malware and other maintenance headaches behind.

Roger

Connecting to MS Access In Windows 7 64-Bit

Hi.
As usual, Microsoft has done its best to make this as difficult as possible. The essence of a solution to this problem that I found at http://sushantnayak.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/connect-ms-access-using-jdbc-odbc-in-windows-7-64-bit/ is as follows:
1. Download and run AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c06b8369-60dd-4b64-a44b-84b371ede16d&displaylang=en)
2. Change the connection string in your code to:
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ= <-db name and path here
Though the author of the tip had used VB to make the connection, it looked as though the same technique should work with Java. However, I found that the attempted connection kept generating an SQLException. The code that I tried to run is shown below.
import java.sql.*;
public class JDBCTest2
public static void main(String[] args)
Connection connection = null;
Statement statement = null;
ResultSet results = null;
String fileName = "F:\\Temp\\Finances.mdb";
I also tried the following (with different fields below):
String fileName = "F:\\Temp\\ExamResults.accdb";
String dbString =
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ="
+ fileName + ";DriverID=22;READONLY=false}";
//I also tried the above without ';DriverID=22;READONLY=false', but the
//result was exactly the same.
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbString, "", "");
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfEx)
System.out.println("* Unable to load driver! *");
System.exit(1);
catch (SQLException sqlEx)
System.out.println("* Cannot connect to database! *");
//The above message was displayed.
System.exit(1);
try
statement = connection.createStatement();
results = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Accounts");
catch (SQLException sqlEx)
System.out.println("* Cannot execute query! *");
System.exit(1);
try
while(results.next())
System.out.println("Account no. " + results.getInt(1));
System.out.println("Account holder: " + results.getString(3)
+ " " + results.getString(2));
System.out.printf("Balance: %.2f %n%n",results.getFloat(4));
catch (SQLException sqlEx)
System.out.println("* Error retrieving data! *");
System.exit(1);
Any help in solving this problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe that my problem may be due to using a 32-bit Access database, rather than a 64-bit one. I am fully aware of how to use c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe to get round the problem of setting up the required ODBC data source, and that is what I shall be making use of for at least the next year, as I have just been informed that it will be the 32-bit version of MS Access (with Windows 7) that will be used at my institution for the coming academic session. (I lecture at a university.)
As a consequence of the above, it turns out that I don't really have a problem for the foreseeable future. However, I would like to know (for personal satisfaction, if nothing else) whether the test program would work if it were used with a 64-bit Access database. Unfortunately, it looks as though I won't have the use of a 64-bit version of Access. Consequently, I would be most grateful if anybody out there could try out my test program with 64-bit Access. Obviously, the appropriate database would need to be set up (or an existing one used and the name/path changed accordingly), but the fields wouldn't even have to be set up to match mine. As long as the program gets past the 'Cannot connect to database error message', I'll be happy.
Thanks.

HP Laserjet 1022n & Windows 7 64-bit & spooling

My home network has three desktop computers, one laptop and one tablet. Two of the desktops, plus the tablet are all running Windows 8.1. The laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit Professional, while the third desktop is running Windows 7 64-bit Home. All of the computers use the network to connect to the Laserjet 1022n printer that is also connected to the network (hard-lined). The Laserjet does have the latest Firmware installed onto the printer. All three of the devices that are using Windows 8.1 are able to connect and print fine from the printer, however it is the two Windows 7 computers that are having issues with the printer.
The problem is that the spooling is not resetting once a print job has been sent. The print job will continuously print the print job indefinetly unless I go into the "c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers\" folder and manually clear out the spool. I have downloaded both the Full HP software as well as the basic driver for the Laserjet onto both Windows 7 computers. I have tried running the repair feature and as well as just using the basic driver to add the printer. Nothing seems to be working correctly.
The ONLY way for me to get the printer to work is to use one of the Windows 8.1 computers as a middle-man; connecting to that computer and sending the print job through that computer. Only issue is that it takes forever to spool the print job to the Windows 8.1 computer before it can start printing. These are fairly new computers; both purchased in the last year. Both have 4 Gigs of RAM so that is not the reason. So I am not sure what is going on.
None of the computers are directly cabled to the printer and the main Windows 7 computer that I really need to have working with the laserjet is on the opposite side of the house (the Windows 7 laptop does not use the print feature that much, so it is not AS critical).
Any help would be much appreciated.
