win xp 64 help!!!

srigi001 · Post by **srigi001** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 9:41 am

I recently upgraded my system to an AMD athlon 64 and naturally i installed win xp 64 bit in order to utilise the processors full potential...but alas when i began installing SFP 4.0 the setup told me it cannot install the driver and referred me to how i should install it manually (needless to say that didnt work either)
My guess is driver incompatability with the new 64 bit OS so the question is: is there a CW fix for the problem and if not is such a fix emminent?
Thanks

no, and you have the wrong operating system. at this time there is no software to utilize 64bit processing so the question is moot. welcome to advertising where they create a demand before there's even a need. just use regular xp. it'll be a little while before anything is really 64bit. it is debatable if 64bit systems will truly do any more work in the short term(1-3 years). at first the code will not be optimized and you may find some apps that run SLOWER in 64bit mode......

i am not the ultimate expert, so any experts can add to or amend this.

there is no 64 bit drivers for SCOPE.

I would assume that it is a given that PC users usually check for drivers availabilty and support before moving from OS to OS.

no where on the creamware site there is a mention of support for 64 bit OS.

My guess is that his sad face is because:

- New hardware -> Better hardware
- Bigger -> Better
- More drunk -> More fun
- More guns ->

there is no problem - there is no fix - there is no question...

creamware is going to skip 64bit OS and will go straight forward to 128bit OS. joke

Sonar has a native 64 bit app for free trial right now so I suspect Sonar 5 will have both 32 and 64 bit apps included. Ron Kuper, the guru at Cakewalk is seeing between a 10-20% performance boost using 64 bit. Mind you, that is using all their FX that have been translated to 64 bit I assume.

yeah, cakewalk loves whatever m$ does. the real world won't be such an improvement. yet..

my sad face is due to the fact that for years of great support and reviews and what not from everyone here and i say this with all my heart, that this has been a great home for a novice like me, I've received a reply that simply made me feel like crap. Now I'm not trying to be a wuss or anything but if someone makes a mistake like forgetting to check driver compatability you can tell him something like :"sorry dude there no drivers at the time but maybe there will be soon, good luck"...you don't have to make me feel bad.

sorry you feel bad.
i know i mean you no disrespect, i don't think anyone else meant anything personal. it's not that big a deal, a little bit of money...look for an oem version of xp home, about $90us.
good luck!

everything's cool gary just caught me by surprise...any way no money was lost on my part due to the fact that 64 bit processors cost nothing above regular one's and i have the regular xp pro (i work on a p4 for years now)...it's just that i installed the xp64 and actually felt an increase in performance in comparison to the regular one installed on my system, too bad i cant utilise the AMD's full potential (yet)

CWA will cetainly be looking to come up with 64bit drivers hopefully soon.
at the moment their resources are tied into getting their ASB boxes out to make some cash to pay programmers to do the drivers for 64BIT OS.

this takes patience on the user side and some time on CWA side.
