x64 Incompatible / Compatible Applications

[ming]

Think I'd like to help with this, but not yet. Need to get my exams over and done with first, then need a new HD to run 64-bit windows.

How do I register on the wiki mate?
And also do we put all info we know on there?

Yeah, let's get as much information up there as possible.
How to sign up:

If any fellow x64 users here would like to help, just send me a PM or an email - netryder [at] osnn [dot] net. You'll need to pick a password for yourself, enter it into the box here and send me the encrypted version in your PM/email. I'll then create an account for you and you can start editing.

Done. We have 4 people on board now, including myself.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Added a few I could think of.

 

[NetRyder]

Interesting. Only two entries (both desktop search) in the list of incompatible apps so far.
Nobody else has anything to add? That's pretty damn good!

 

[Khayman]

OK, added another one just for fun

 

[NetRyder]

Ha, well done.

I'm going to talk to a couple of people and find out if it's being worked on and when they're expecting to release the thing!

Nudge nudge

Recent experience shows that Diskeeper 10 Pro edition is made for 64 bit.
I also managed to find out that installing Macromedia Flash 7 partially solves the problem. It stops after it loads part of the page which is better that the way Flash 8 works.

Hi all I am new here normally talk on speedguide forum but this discussion is very usefull to me as i have just taken the plunge, so far my story go's,


No driver sopport for my zyxel 630-c broadband modem - my isp is sending me a new one.

Norton net sec 2006 sent back for a refund won't work - installed avast antivirus and Ghostwall firewall both look like very good and free apps.


Gigabyte easytune5 seemed to install but won't load - not sorted yet


Lexmark x5150 all-in-one printer not looked for driver yet.


sisoft sandra works well as a 64 bit app.


Gigabyte motherboard ins. disk had x64 drivers on disk.


3DMark works fine and have gained 110 points on my score over normal win xp pro.

 

[Gbaitey]

cpu 32c

Mainboard 25c

power/aux 70c !

[Gbaitey]

I have one other problem i can't seem to get a printer driver for my lexmark x5150 printer any ideas people ???

 

[Khayman]

The only lexmark printers with x64 drivers are listed here

and here
http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-perl...0:133:0:0&framed=&docid=ENUS14005&relevance=0

Try emailing them and asking if they plan to release 64 bit drivers for your printer. if not, then its time for a new one

 

[Gbaitey]

Ok it looks like i will not be able to get a driver for my printer is there a list of all windows 64 compatible printers, i want an all in one job.

Also a little note on the firewall situation i can't get tiny firewall to install properly but ghostwall firewall seems to work fine allbeit not very user freindly- no instructions but still have run several security testing sites and none found any security holes:- http://www.ghostsecurity.com/index.php?page=ghostwall

A number of Canon inkets also have x64 drivers. I have drivers for my Canon PIXMA IP4000. XP x64 also supports my old HP DeskJet 930C out-of-the-box, which is pretty cool.

The Epson CX3800 series have 64 bit drivers. They aren't as flexible when formatting page sizes but they do work ok.

Windows Defender Beta 2 (previously Microsoft AntiSpyware) is a native 64-bit app now.
