PC is right on why there's no SP3 (2003 x64 is XP x64, they're the same OS) for XP x64, but as to why it's unstable, that's very likely going to come down to drivers. Assuming the hardware in the computer is in good working order and you're not crashing, you're probably running into the one thing that actually plagues XP x64, and that's poor driver support compared to XP 32bit. Specifically, from what you're describing, it sounds like either chipset drivers or video drivers being the culprit. Are you running the latest XP x64 WHQL certified drivers for all of your devices?

If you mean "is there a way to have a full backup by using the previous backup and only adding to it so it's faster next time", the answer is no.

Note that nLite is not for commercial use, so just keep that in mind if you plan on using it for anything other than personal builds.

NTBackup is hashing the first backup you take (and any "full" backup) in the event you do any differential or incremental backups off of it in the future, so that it doesn't back up anything that's not changed. Ghost is a backup of all sectors, no real "checking" as you aren't going to also use it to make incremental or differential backups, as it's not a product feature.

True, if someone has physical access to your machine and something that you allow to boot (you do protect your BIOS with a password when it's in a public place, don't you?), unless you've got bitlocker or some other drive encryption software you're pretty much screwed. However, that doesn't negate the desire (or need) to use permissions for local and remote access to your online machine. Don't throw out permissions for normal use just because someone might be able to boot your hard disk in a different machine. At that point the only thing you can fall back on is a system-level password and drive encryption, which are just layers of security. Nothing's foolproof, but making it more difficult to breach your security makes you less a target for all but the most determined. And if someone's really determined at getting at your network, your machines, your data, etc, you would at least hope that you are generally already aware of that fact. Also, keep your posts clean of profanity. Otherwise, the banhammer will fall your way.

He's got a function called "preUnload" that he wants to fire on the page unload event. JScript sets an event handler for the window unload event, and executes the preUnload function somewhere in his code when the page unload event is raised.

I stand corrected - I thought this was not possible after the first service pack, but I guess it was. Glad you're using a newer version though, should make things easier in the future as VB6 dev is no longer "supported".

For what it's worth, that i945P board did ship with SATA II 3Gbps ports. However, I don't see optical drives saturating the ~133MBps transfer rates that PATA provides, let alone even worry about saturating even SATA I 1.5Gbps ports (let alone a SATA II 3Gbps port). Especially if you have hard drives you'd rather use in those SATA ports, which you seem to have, stick to PATA on optical media . One isn't better than the other, but there's no real "need" to go SATA for optical devices other than convenience (and to potentially remove PATA from a motherboard, which wouldn't be a bad thing) - there's no speed benefit at all.

The problem with /MIR is that it's technically just the /PURGE command with the /E option, meaning if it cannot open a file to copy it, it treats it as if it doesn't exist in the file copy (which, I guess, technically it doesn't) so it mirrors that on the destination (removes the older version of a file it cannot copy). The only real way around this is to either use a tool that doesn't work this way (perhaps look into xxcopy if you must use a command-line tool, which the /CLONE switch doesn't delete remote files it couldn't update, or at least didn't last I used it a few years ago) or look into a backup tool that backs up via a system driver that can bypass the lock (not preferred) or, better, uses volume shadow copies (preferred) on systems that implement it (like XP/2003 and newer).

eidenk, you are free to your opinions of me and what I say, but calling myself and/or Coffeefiend out as liars or idiots regardless of what we have said, fact or otherwise in your opinion, most certainly falls afoul of the MSFN forum rules - specifically rule section 7, to which you agreed to when you joined the forum. I made no personal attacks on you or anyone else here, and simply quoted facts as I see them in response to other posts. For what it is worth, I can even have a decent conversation here with folks on whom I tend to disagree with almost on everything - but everyone is free to their opinion, whether or not I agree with it, and is afforded respect from me on the forums regardless of how I may feel about their opinions or their view on the facts. Also, to everyone else I didn't mention, keep it above board. As those who know me understand I will leave a thread open for debate long after it has devolved from it's original point (this is heading that way), but I will not tolerate violations of the rules. Please treat others on these forums with respect iin your replies (including the forum administrator). Continued violation of forum rules will find yourself promptly banned. And getting back to the point, pass them along. I'll load them up on XP, Vista, and Win7 running as a regular user and see what happens with the debugger. My email address was sent to you in PM.

Well, it won't "fix" anything, but it'll tell you what is happening.

Look at the memory tab - how much is used for each type? If it's being reserved by hardware, resmon should tell you so. For instance: You can see my machine has reserved ~81MB for hardware.

Again, if it fails only in PASV, we're gonna need a network trace or a fiddler log from the client running IE8 to see what's happening. I do not have this problem on my IE8 box, so it's specific to this configuration it may seem.

Probably reserved by hardware. If you're running RC1 or the RTM, run resmon and click the "Memory" tab to see where it's all going. Also, what apps does she have specifically that won't run in x64 under WOW64 emulation?

You can make an exFAT drive bootable for WinCE 6.0 devices via BIOSLoader, but I do not believe that there's a version of windows yet that would support booting from the filesystem.

The thing that scares me the most about Firefox is - what will happen when the browser does have the vast majority market share? It's not the most secure codebase, and like anything else it'll become a target. What then? Do we send folks to Safari or Chrome until they get dominant and start showing security weaknesses? Do we go back to IE <insert latest version here>? Just a thought.

This isn't Slashdot. Your car analogy doesn't work. See, now that is funny!

Give it a try - never tried it, as I just use the bcdedit commands. But, it might work, so give it a shot.

You might be able to boot to a WinPE disc and use bcdedit to swap the boot around (this is what bcdedit is for, technically), but if each partition "sees" each other you may make them unbootable. It might work, and you can always switch things back with bcdedit, but just be aware it may not.

It's possible on NT4 and 2000 unpatched, yes, but the process receiving the data has to be running as admin or higher, again backing up my point (it's possible if you're an admin before Vista to basically do the same thing as 9x, as an admin is an admin). Because at that point, the user has to be lazy or conned into allowing it. At least in an NT system, you have process separation, and user privilege limitation on top of that - again, using an NT system as admin is inherently insecure - the admin is supposed to be the *admin*, not a regular user.

I'm taking a wild stab at this being either a recovery CD from an OEM, or it's a warez'd copy of XP. Either way, the OP needs to give us detailed specs (including HDD RPM speed, etc) about his rig. Power Supply, HDD speed and size (and manufacturer), Video card (RAM and manufacturer), etc before we can really help. Also, I'd like to know the XP install disc is valid too, given the details. It sounds sketchy.

You could put the drivers on a USB key, and use the install routine to find them. This is probably fine for a one-off install, so if this is just your home machine and you don't expect to do this again, this is my recommendation. However, if you want these as a part of your Vista install routine automatically, you'll have to do some "heavy lifting" so to speak. To achieve this, you're going to need a Vista machine running SP1 or SP2. First, download the driver package, and extract it to a folder with winrar. Next, extract your Vista installation media to a temporary folder on the hard disk. Next, mount the Vista x64 WIM file and image number you plan on installing from your extracted Vista installation media with imagex (you'll need the WAIK 1.1 installed on your Vista SP1 machine). Next, integrate any (or all of the) drivers from the nvidia driver extraction into the temporary mount folder with peimg. Lastly, use imagex to /umnount /commit your Vista WIM file, and then use oscdimg to re-ISO the Vista installation media you've just modified. That can then be burned to disc, or the extracted Vista installation media copied to a USB key. Instructions on imagex, peimg, or oscdimg are a bit above and beyond a simple post here, although you can find the information on the web at technet and MSDN (and non-Microsoft sites too) on how to do it. Otherwise, you could use vLite, if you're ok with potential Vista servicing upgrade problems in the future from using it. If you can figure out how to use the WAIK directly, it's safer, as vLite can cause upgrade problems (like upgrading to a new service pack, for instance).

According to the windows headers, this looks like your activation has indeed been marked invalid, as that error code maps to "ERROR_BLOCKED". Assuming this was a legitimate install that's just been off for awhile, consider contacting the activation clearing house at 866-740-1256.

Your search skills need improvement. I found it in ~30 seconds, as part of the nForce driver set:http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista64_15.26.html
