I finally got around to attempting to install a game in Vista 64 SP1.
I bought Gears of War for Windows and when I put the DVD in it
doesn't even appear in explorer let alone install.
Then I tried my Quake 4 DVD and while that appears in explorer I am
immediately informed that it isn't support
Don't play games so I can't help you much there, but the funny thing is that
most game "incompatibilities" with Vista64 aren't due to the game itself,
but the crummy anti-copying/DRM infections publishers feel they must
include.
That being said, your best resource for getting game-specific inform

Thats strange, all the games I've tried have worked just fine in Vista 64.

Yeah, the socket l goofball ones. Damn, I need to chase down an fx-72 or a
pair of something else. Talk about longshots.

Picking them up & being productive with an app are 2 entirely
different things. I've O2k7 & wish I never installed it. I wish I
had installed O2k3 instead.
I haven't tried it yet but will windows let you install both? I
thought I read somewhere that it wouldn't but I'm not sure.
I like Office 2007. I am able to find most stuff in Word and Excel faster
now than I could before. There are a few things I still have to go to help
on though. I am by no means an Office Power user (I am a software
developer), but I can get around as well as I need to. I find the added
features
I had trouble doing some stuff in Access 2003 (installed after 2007) and
Access 2007, but it might have been the order that they were installed or
the fact that it was on Vista Business. I just installed 2003 into a VM and
away I went.

Hey,
Since I built my new box, I gave one of my VMs running XP Pro 2 processors
and more RAM. Do I need to do anything inside of the VM's XP to make it use
both processors? I seem to remember something about when adding another
physical processor, you had to do something to XP.
Thanks,

XP should have picked it up with a reboot. However, don't make a common
virtualization mistake and instantly assume that adding a vCPU will make it
faster. Scheduling for multiple vCPUs adds a LOT of overhead to the
virtualization layer, and will result in slower performance overall, unless
your sp
Thanks for the info. I am working on an Access program and using XP while
it is running is kind of sluggish. I was trying to make XP more responsive,
not the app. I'll try it with and without 2 CPUs and see if I can notice a
difference.
Thanks,
Bobby

What vm soft are you using (?). Normally just a reboot will pickup.

VMware workstation 6.5. Process Explorer sees 2 processors. I just wanted
to make sure there was nothing else I need to do.
Thanks,
