t43,
I don't remember what chipset was in the T60p, but I am sure they are all the same and will not address more than 3GB of memory even though the processor fully supports the 64-bit instruction set.  I don't believe that there are any programs out there that can tell you what particular chipset is installed in a system but use can use the link below to find a number of motherboard enumeration programs.  I tried the HWINFO32 program and it is quite good.

To summarize, yes, on 3 GB systems, you are better with x86 than x64.
Note that since I wrote my original post, I purchased a new T500 with 3.06 GHz processors and 4GB memory. I am now running x64 and I must say that the system is much faster than x86. Photoshop (or Photopig as I call it) loads in 1-2 seconds. Can't wait for the price of the 4 GB DIMMs to go down so I can go to 8 GB memory!

  • Installed memory 4GB (932MB Usable )

    i cannot fix this proble.
    please reply fast.
    i can't download cpu-z from geven link.

    Hi,
    There was a fix implemented in Bios version F.25 for your notebook series that corrected an issue with machines not using the full memory capacity when running a 32bit OS in conjunction with greater than 2Gb of ram being installed.
    As HP Bios Updates are cumulative, you're probably better off just installing the latest version ( F.26 ) which can be downloaded from the link below.  Although not noted on the page, the cva file lists this update as compatible with the following operating systems.
    W732EN=OEM
    W764EN=OEM
    W732HB=OEM
    W764HB=OEM
    W732HP=OEM

    Note:  Once started, do not interrupt the bios update in any way until it has completed - the machine may perform several restarts and may appear to be doing nothing for short periods of time, but just let it complete until it has loaded back into Windows.

  • PSP [Playstation portable] not recognized by Windows 7 RC Build 7100

    Hello all,
    I have a PSP [Series 1003]. Firmware : 6.10 [latest] . My PC's OS : Windows 7 64Bit RC Build 7100. Ever since i installed Win7 in my PC [new PC] , it was not able to recognize my PSP.
    In the PSP it shows "Please Wait" when in USB mode. The USB ports of my PC are fine, because all other devices work properly [printer,joystick,Pen-Drive,external HDD -these are all what i've already used] . 
    Sometimes it shows it is properly connected, but when i go inisde the mem stick [from My Computer] it shows that the card is empty [I have songs,games,videos,other PSP folders etc in the mem card]. Otherwise it shows that the driver is not available etc.. PSP usually does not need a special driver as it act as a mass storage device.
    It works properly in my laptop , OS : Windows XP Home Edition SP3. I have not tried connecting my PSP to any other win7 computers since i dont have any other.
    Please help me with this.
    Thank You
    kamalesh

    Hello again to all,
    Sorry that i didn't reply for a long time. I've been away.
    My problem with PSP have been solved, surprisingly the solution was 
    "Tried connecting the PSP to a port behind my tower instead of the ports in the front panel".
    I tried this because i read something similar in some other forum . I don't understand how or why it worked.
    Also how and why it did not work. I dont think my USB ports have any problem because all other devices work 
    properly. 
    Thanks for all your help.
    Regards,

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

  • Windows 7 Build 7100 (release candidate): Boot Camp drivers not compatible?

    I had a go at installing Windows 7 Build 7100 on my MacBook (aluminium) via Boot Camp. Windows 7 installed fine, but the Boot Camp drivers of the chipset and DVD drive don't seem to work.
    I'll have a look at Intel's website for the chipset driver, but what's really annoying me is that I can't eject my optical discs.
    Anyone else tried 7100 yet? I had none of the above problems in build 7000.

    Tried 7077. A word or two of caution, these (Apple Boot Camp) is known to cause problems and was blocked.
    Programs and drivers/installers that worked previously aren't, but that is the purpose of an RC.
    Also, Apple iTunes has used GEAR drivers which have also disabled optical drives in the past and may do so again.
    *What you will see when a program is incompatible:*
    this has been formalized with an appearance by the familiar Program Compatibility Assistant window shown here.
    http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2009/04/25/security-softwar e-changes-in-windows-7-rc.aspx
    Everything works well except Apple TimeServices when you change OS; OSSwitcher (control panel "Boot Camp" to change the default boot OS). Otherwise 7077 has run smooth, fewer problems than Vista (including SP1 and SP2(RC), and definitely much much better than build 7000.

  • Help! Need advice on how to upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 7 Evaluation Copy: Build 7100

    I am on an HP Pavillion Media Center m8200m PC.  The computer came with Vista on it and did not come with any Vista operating system installation discs when I bought it.  I did make a set of two system recovery discs from this original Vista operating system,  About 3 months ago, I decided to put on an evaluation copy of Windows 7 (Build 7100).  In order to do this, I had to remove Vista completely from my computer and then install the the Windows 7 evaluation download from Microsoft.  It has worked fine since, but will expire shortly.  I now want to put on a permanent installation of Windows 7, but am unsure how to do this.  Can someone please explain the procedure to me.  I have read that I cannot upgrade to anything directly from the Windows 7 evaluation copy.  Do I need to recover the computer and install Vista from the recovery discs  (providing I can reinstall Vista from these recovery discs), then upgrade to a permanent version of Windows 7 (from a less expensive Windows 7 upgrade).  Or, will I have to buy a full version of Windows 7 and start from scratch?  Also, is there a way to retain all my data on this computer during this new installation of Windows 7, or will I lose averything including programs, data, etc. and have to reinstall it once I have the new permanent operating system on the computer?  
    I'm usually pretty good with this stuff, but can't seem to get a straight answer.  I want to do this as soon as possible, so would greatly appreciate a straight, clear explanation of what to do.  I would truly appreciate it.

    It is possible to upgrade the evaluation version to the RTM version with some fiddling as shown here.  It would be better to do a clean install.

  • Windows 7 RC Build 7100: No Audio on MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo)

    On Thursday, I installed the brand new Windows 7 RC Build 7100 on my MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo). This version of Windows seems to be zippy and far more polished than Vista: boot time is much, much faster. So my main problem is this: I can't get sound to work at all. In the Device Manager, the audio device is banged out and shows as a "High Definition Audio Device" rather than AC'97 or whatever it's supposed to be. If I check the properties, under status it says, "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried to installing the drivers from RealTek about a zillion times, the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard install disc and I've run all the little setup programs as Administrator and in Vista compatibility mode, but no luck. Has anyone else had any luck in getting the Windows 7 (7100) to run on an early model MacBook Pro with working audio? Thanks!

    Can't speak for MacBook, but for the desktop Mac Pro, the audio issue with Windows 7 install on boot camp is a known issue. You probably need to install the Realtek driver from your leopard install disk. It worked for me. Fixed the audio in about 5 minutes.
    Try this:
    while running windows 7
    Insert 10.5.4 or later Leopard disk
    Go to Boot camp folder
    Locate the Realtek driver .exe file
    Run it, it's an installer file
    Restart.
    Fixed my problem, similar to yours.

    Nothing wrong with that. According to the spec, you should have 1 GB of memory.

  • Windows 7 RC Install on Unibody MBP went BEAUTIFULLY!!

    I recently installed Windows 7 RC on my unibody Macbook Pro (late model, 2008) using Boot Camp and everything went very smoothly! So I thought I'd right a post to possibly help other users through some minor glitches that I ran into that I was able to figure out logically. And I am NO computer expert, so just about anyone should be able to do this!
    Boot Camp Assistant is going to recommend that you print the Boot Camp Install Instructions before you begin. DO THIS!! It was very helpful!
    First off, I had a copy of the Windows 7 RC ISO on a DVD burned from in Windows Vista (I don't think this part is very important - I think the ISO is fine from anywhere).
    I completely backed up my Macbook using Time Machine and then I ran the Boot Camp Assistant to load Windows 7 and created the 32-Gig Partition.
    You will be asked at some point to choose the partition that you want to install to - I was installing to the partition named with "Boot Camp", obviously, but I failed to realize that I needed to format that partition. You will notice that the "next" button is grayed out and cannot be clicked. There is a link right above the "next" button that needs to be clicked in order to format the partition - I failed to notice this so I thought I would mention this too!
    I inserted the Windows 7 disk when Boot Camp instructed and the installation began - YOU WILL NEED TO BE PATIENT HERE - the reason I mention this is because I've seen a couple of posts where people state that the Windows 7 Install begins but that their computer hangs up at the point where the files begin "expanding" and they only see "0%" and three animated dots, but nothing else happens. This part of the install was very quick when I used Sun's Virtual Box instead of Boot Camp. But, for some reason, it was a good three or four minutes before the "expanding" changed from "0%" to "1%" and so on - so, again, be patient! Your files should expand after a couple of minutes!
    The only other glitches I ran into was when Windows 7 would restart during the install - I kept expecting my Macbook to restart in Windows, but it kept restarting in OS X. All I did was restart OS x and my Macbook automatically restarted back into the Windows Install. I had to do this a couple of times - I THINK the reason is because the Boot Camp Control Panel doesn't get installed until the end of the Windows 7 Install - but I'm not absolutely sure. In any case, just restart OS X anytime you need to go back to Windows 7 Install and you should be okay.
    Before I knew it - WINDOWS 7 HAD INSTALLED!!!
    Next, just let Windows 7 do it's thing and install drivers, etc. As soon as all of this is done, I recommend a couple of things: FIRST: Go into Internet Explorer then go to Mozilla.com and download Firefox! This is merely my own preference over Internet Explorer, but I like it SOOOO much better!
    As soon as you've downloaded Firefox (or if you chose not to), go to www.antivir.com and download their FREE Anti Virus Software. You will find it under "downloads" and then it should be the first option you have under "desktop software" and it should say "free personal anti virus software". DO THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!
    After that, feel free to begin exploring Windows 7 on your Macbook Pro! And good luck!!

    Windows 7 would restart during the install - I kept expecting my Macbook to restart in Windows, but it kept restarting in OS X. All I did was restart OS x and my Macbook automatically restarted back into the Windows Install. I had to do this a couple of times - I THINK the reason is because the Boot Camp Control Panel doesn't get installed until the end of the Windows 7 Install - but I'm not absolutely sure. In any case, just restart OS X anytime you need to go back to Windows 7 Install and you should be okay.
    Windows (Vista and all builds of 7) have always and will set the system to restart in Windows. 7-RC adds a new entry for "Setup" (I am not 100% sure of name). And at one point that was something like "Rollback" to an earlier point. If you have ever had more than one Windows system you have seen the boot screen list. If you have Vista and Windows 7 they will be listed there as such.
    May have something to do with I can - and always do - remove any drives with OS X, too.
    Formatting to NTFS (or delete FAT Bootcamp, and create NTFS) has been there as one step since Vista.
    There are a number of free AV programs, most all though have got to change their API hooks into the OS, and 7100 has changed a lot under the hood that way since the public beta in Jan (which expires June 1).
    Windows will take you to a page to find AV program - it isn't current or complete, and Kaspersky is finishing up 2010 version but their beta product for 7 is on hold - and 2010 KIS is killing IE8 for me.
    Norton beta NIS2009 and N360v3.5 both seem to be very good and compatible, and a real change from older pre-2009 editions.
    Firefox: there are some excellent extensions like NOSCRIPT which I consider a must.

  • Install Failure: Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1.

    I have problem with installation Win7 x64. Installation stops on disk selection with mesage: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information". I tried ICH9 controler in mode AHCI and RAID. Loading intel drivers (Ver:8.7.0.1007 and 7.5.0.1017) gives me masage "Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1." Details: "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001". I can see drives, make new partition and format it.
    Spec:
    CPU: Intel Q6600
    RAM: 4GB
    MB: MSI Neo2 FIR (intel P35 and ICH9R)
    HDD: 2x 640GB SATA (empty)

    I had the same problem. On a new build, ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen4, I a pulled a WD 1TB Sata HDD from another computer I had and put it into my new computer.  The drive was previously used just as a data drive, not a boot disk. Win 7 didn't want load on it.
    I followed the instructions posted by BenFreefly (although abbreviated slightly) and it worked. For reference, here are the steps;
    1) After Windows gives you the error, hit SHIFT-F10 to get to the command prompt.
    2) From command prompt enter the following commands:
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 0    (your disk may be a different number)
    clean
    create partition primary
    exit    (exits diskpart)
    exit    (exits command prompt)
    3) Click on Refresh
    4) Windows now sees the disk as a primary disk
    5) Select the disk and click Next.
    From there, Windows will extract files and the install will boot several times.

  • Bootcamp and Windows XP/7 Install Questions

    I got an iMac a few months back and want to set up BootCamp for a Windows install.
    I have a Windows XP Full install disk w/the product key.
    I also have a Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
    From what I have read, the newest version of Bootcamp will not install XP, which I could then upgrade to W7 (I assume this is correct).
    Can I then install from the Windows 7 Upgrade disk and at some point indicate the XP Product Code?
    Secondary question - assuming I get Windows installed and running properly, if I boot to the Mac OS, can it see/access the Windows partition?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    If the Windows 7 Upgrade is a full install. What you would do is install, then reinstall over itself. And only then will it activate.
    There are upgrades that are to go from Home Premium to Pro and that isn't a full install.
    Windows 8 CP is free and works.
    Windows 7 System Builder are $99 for Home Premium 64-bit

    Computers, which are built by large manufactures that come with Windows Pre-Installed, come with two (2) Product Keys:
    A)   OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes from the Factory. This key is geared to work with the special instructions found only on that Manufacturer's computer hardware. So when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP key (at the factory) Windows 7 looks at the motherboard and sees the special instructions and Self-Activates. (that's why you did not need to Activate your computer after you brought it home)
    B)    COA SLP: This is the Product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or bottom,[ or inside the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but should only be used in limited situations (such as if the OEM SLP key stops self-activating for whatever reason). The key must be activated by Phone. (Note: All manufacturers that use the OEM SLP system are required by contract to include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker, that has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
