VISTA 64bit Ultimate

[StealthTools]

I am on my new system now running Windows 64bit Ultimate..

I try to download and install drivers for my wireless internet device and I wen to Microsoft.com and downloaded windows updater and such only to find out that when I run them they say NOT SUPPORTED BY 64bit!

Will finding a way to update Vista help these problems?

From the way its looking now I won't be able to run half of the software I own...

Also windows media player on Vista will say.. "this program has stopped working"..

Is service pack 1 availaible through online updates like windows xp? or do I have to purchase it?

What wireless device to you have?

 

[StealthTools]

Belkin wireless g USB device..

Am I going to have to from now on only download programs that say "64bit" or not download anything at all?

Would service pack 1 fix this and make my computer more compatible with more applications?

This is a pain..I feel liek I cant install anything with vista anymore..

this is the one you want:

F5D7050 Version 4xxx

From here.
Belkin : Support : F5D7050 Drivers

Yes you must only download drivers that are for vista 64bit. A little searching and you will find what you need.

That is indeed the drivers.. but still.. I am still having major problems just getting this thing running smoothly...

Windows XP was easy and all updates and drivers worked perfectly..

Vista 64 just doesn't seem to want to cooperate very much..

How do I get: Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor 1.0 ?? It isn't supported by 64bit..

It just takes a bit of time to utilize that extra ram. Just go to the manufactures website for all of your drivers. Make sure they are for vista 64bit. Come on, this is half of the fun.

The only thing I liek about vista 64 so far is the music included with the installation.. keeping my nerves under control..

Vista SP1 should be on your Windows Update.

Download details: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone for x64-based Systems (KB936330)

Very first result on google and live search.

Also the Vista Upgrade Advisor is only if you are running XP and are thinking about updating. It serves no purpose if you are already on Vista.

Ok and btw how Come I have gotten the blue screen that says..

"MEMORY_MANAGEMENT"

at the top? How do I fix this?

Just telling us "Memory Management" means nothing. We need more information. All that says is Windows could not write to the spot of the RAM and crashed.

The added information will be able to tell us if it is your RAM, Drivers or whatever it may be.
