32bit to 64bit


Recommended Posts

Before I began my epic journey of building a new pc and up grading my software I backed up a large number of pics onto a dvd and a load of music onto another dvd, at the time I was using win7 32 bit.

 

I am not to worried about the music that was just a series of folders with programs of music in each taken from my cds, the pics on the other hand have a large history of my fishing years plus a load of pics I use for my web sites.

 

Both dvds show that they have the info stored in properties but neither will run on my 64 bit system. When I recorded them I selected use on any pc.

 

Any advise would be graciously received. :D

 

Silly me I rebooted into the 32 bit O/S same problem.

 

Could it be the program I recorded it with?

win7 64bit (well on mine anyway i dont know how any of the versions work) just run 32bit programs at 32bit (not sure i have and real 64bit programs at all?) not all will work but you can try a capability mode (RH click on the exe file should get you an option but to date the few i have had problems with haven't run using this method unfortunately )

 

but anyway if the music was recorded using a standard music type (mp3 ,wmf ,or any normal method) then it should play on any standard media player but if say it was a flv etc then it would need a dedicated player.

if you look at the DVD contents can you see anything in explorer?

generally if windows doesn't understand what a program extension is it asks what you want to do

 

can you download a win7 evaluation copy of the recording program to see if that is the cause?

 

could you copy and paste one of the DVD's onto the desktop and run bits from there?

Hi Chester

 

Since posting I have established that it is the way the info was burned, I tried opening the dvd with my Corel Photo Paint Pro which have virtually every pic file type ever created on it and it cannot open it.

what does explorer see the files as?

hovering over the file or looking at its properties?

 

if its a psp file then only psp will open them i think ,you could pm me for my email addy and send me a sample (not that one) i have psp8 which is fine running in win7

 

Oh do you mean the DVD wont run as a continual set of photos like they can bunging it in a standard dvd player on your telly?

Hi Chester

I got side tracked by a tv, however my Corel Photo software can open psp files, I am thinking along the lines of the burner I used. I was having a lot of nigs with the old pc and burning disk was one of them so I down loaded some software on a trial basis. Now I am wondering if it stitch me up, I will try and locate it.
