[H] Word 2007 track changes issue
Another weird one. Recently. when I open Word documents which have track changes in them, Word opens the doc and default to showing the final document without markup. This is quite dangerous to say the least, if you don't realize there are changes and comments. When the document is first opened, the tracked changes are shown very briefly and then the view quickly shifts to just showing the final. I did some googling and people said that the option which controls the default track changes view is under the privacy settings in the Trust Center. However, I looked there and the box is checked to show track changes by default. Any idea what could be overriding this and causing the default view to shift? --- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation http://www.secureworldfoundation.org +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US
[H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
Hey guys, we have a site volume license for Windows-I might not be being precise about this as I'm not sure, but I work at Citrix Systems, Inc. and we're a pretty close Microsoft partner and so get licenses for a lot of MS software so I think that's what it is (in case it matters). For example, I have to authenticate to the KMS server using slmgr.vbs from my laptop, and have been having issues reaching it and just got it figured out recently! Anyway, I want to install Win7 Enterprise (that's what we get; basically Ultimate minus the games right?) on my somewhat new laptop and was wondering whether I wanted the 32bit or 64-bit version... I know you get the full support of the 4GB of RAM on the 64-bit version (well, that you can actually address/use over 3GB) and btw I only have 4GB on this laptop... But are there any other reasons to go 64-bit? Or are there reasons not to go 64-bit still, like app/program compatability/issues? I'm not going to be playing many games on it (though I might install one or two simpler ones for travel), but that's not a main concern for me... Thanks for any input! BINO

Go for 64bit and use all memory.no reason not to. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Bino Gopal Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 5:25 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?

Re: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
I second that. Last year installed Win7 64bit and never thought of going back. Drivers, for the most part, are no longer a problem. I even got an update driver from M-Audio (that's why it snowed in Maine this weekend) Steve On 4/29/2010 6:38 PM, Gary wrote: Go for 64bit and use all memory.no reason not to. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Bino Gopal Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 5:25 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?

Since the OP only has 4.0GB, how will that help him? Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) -Original Message- Go for 64bit and use all memory.no reason not to.
Re: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
IIRC, the BIOS and video RAM will not have to map into the 4GB address space (in 64-bit). He will have the whole address space for RAM.

Even though you might not need 64 bit for memory reasons, a lot of applications that are 64 bit will run faster. This includes the OS itself too. -- Bryan G. Seitz

So what will they map into instead? As far as I know, the video has to map into RAM, regardless if the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Re: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
It maps into the address space of whatever the 64-bit address space is (8 terabytes or something like that). When you have a 32-bit OS, the address space is only 4GB, the system maps in the hardware memory (BIOS, graphics card RAM, etc.) space from the top of the address space down. That is why you get between about 3-3.5GB of actual RAM when you have 4GB RAM on a 32-bit system.

Re: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?
If you have 1GB video card it helps a lot moving it above the actual RAM address space. There are other devices that would also otherwise map onto the 4GB space. 4GB RAM + 512MB video + misc hardware would yield me about 3.25GB under x32 where I get fill 4.0GB on x64.
