I ordered my upgrade to x64 via the MS website over 2 weeks ago now, and it still shows pending when I check the order status

Did anyone else choose to upgrade for $20 and is suffering this extreme wait time too ?

The website I use to check my order is -> https://microsoft.productorder.com/clientx64/orderstatus.aspx

Is anyone having problems installing the Catalysts? Mine just refuse point blank to install. Install shield just drops out, no error message, nothing.

ajgoodfellow · 15 May 2005 at 21:09

They were fine on mine - have you got the x64 ones?

Can't remember whether you had a choice on whether you could get the ones which required the .NET rubbish or the ones without? I've always found the ones without the .NET carp to be much better & faster

Apopcalyptic · 16 May 2005 at 19:54

Yeah I got the ones linked to in this thread. I might try installing the .net framework then trying again...

im after some canon drivers for my printer (i250) and scanner (LiDE 30)

.Griff. · 17 May 2005 at 19:02

Does Nero work with this? I've just tried reinstalling Roxio and it wouldn;t even think about installing...

Also what AV and Firewall programs are people using with x64?

ajgoodfellow · 17 May 2005 at 19:58

Nero does - you need the Ultimate edition though

AV: I use Avast, very good & free

Firewall: At the moment I'm stuck with the inbuilt windows one

.Griff. · 17 May 2005 at 20:02

Cheers!

As for the firewall I came across this - http://www.tinysoftware.com/home/tiny2?s=5375286922905538956A0&&pg=content05&an=news_tf64sp1

Hi...thanks for looking for me, looks like the maya card will be up on the for sale board soon *l* my audigy card died a few weeks ago.

Will nod32 work ok? or will i need to wait for esnet to release a 64bit version?
Thanks again.

Regards Nat

its not is it. I sent an email to canon asking if they had plans to release any drivers anytime soon, and their response:

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.

In response to your query, be advised that unfortunately no specific Windows 64-bit compatible drivers have been released so far by Canon. We recommend that you check our website regularly for any future updates.

so i put my 32 bit version of xp back on.

tutu · 17 May 2005 at 23:51

HP and Epson are on board, but Canon is not.

The only thing you can do is continue to write in until you get the right response, which I did and eventually got someone at Epson.

Is anyone having problems with Speedfan? It install's fine and detects the temps ok but I simply cannot control the fan speed at all!?!?!

(Tried 4.23 and 4.24)

Wyrdo · 19 May 2005 at 10:56

Any of you guys running 64 on wireless? Looks like I need to buy some new wireless PCI cards, might be a good time to upgrade to something a bit faster than 11mb too

I'm currently running Linksys cards and from my quick searching around the various sites I'm not going to get these working on XP 64.

Just need to buy a couple of cards that I know have drivers for XP 64 so if any of you guys know of any that work, please let me know!

Otacon · 19 May 2005 at 11:33

Wireless card drivers were thin on the ground the last time I looked at x64 (which was before the final release).

Whats the model of the card(s)?

Wyrdo · 19 May 2005 at 13:26

WMP11 and I'm pretty sure from what I've read there's no plans for Linksys to release 64 bit drivers.

A lack of wireless drivers is currently the only thing stopping me from going to XP 64

So if you know of any wireless adapters that run on XP 64 and I can get hold of easily, let me know!

BoomBoomer · 19 May 2005 at 20:41

For all those with squashed frogs (the usb modem by Thompson) the Speedtouch website now has a link for an x64 driver.

Unfortunatly it's got n/a - yet next to it but it's encouraging that they've acknowledged the fact one's on the way.

Kaygeebee · 19 May 2005 at 21:43

my Belkin 802.11G card wouldn't work thru x64, I even rang the freephone number to see what was what, they blatently turned me down and said that they just didn't support x64......currently!
What I did find and remedy from my own snooping around the net was that most generic wireless chipsets including my Belkin ones are made by Ralink, I downloaded there generic drivers and its worked a treat ever since... not a problem...

Might be worth looking into for your Linksys kit.....
http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm is the link I used for my drivers... hope this helps someone...
