HI guys, im currently trying to install Windows 7 on my PC. Im having an issue, when I insert the disc it comes with an error: 0xC0000005. Im looking to see if you guys can lend some insight as to how to get by this problem.

Also, im trying to install the 64-bit version of this Windows. My question is, what is the difference of 32-64-bit?:confused: Ive read on here and other sites that 64-bit is what everyone is using. What im trying to do is network my PC to my PS3, so that I can watch all the movies i have on my PC on my PS3. I read somewhere that this will allow me to view movies in HD. Correct me, or point me in the right direction if you will. Thanks to anyone that can help! :)

Thanks In Advance!

Thanks for the info. I just tried that and the results tell me that I can run 32-bit only until I upgrade my ram. The only issue that it sees is:

Program:
NVIDIA PhysX
Version 9.9.0203 (not compatible)

Requirement:
Virtualization technology not supported

What does this mean?

Thanks again for any help!

Thanks for asking, because your question made me more aware. Im actually booting from a what my gf bought at a store to upgrade her windows on her labtop. What she bought is: Windows 7 Home Premium edition. On the side of the box it says, Upgrade designed for Windows Vista. Then again it goes onto say that it will also upgrade XP. Im currently running XP Professional Edition.

When I insert the disc i now get this message:

'This installation disc isn't compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, check your computer's systems information. To install a new copy of Windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installtion disc, and then select Custom (advanced).

Any insight?

Thanks Again!

Also, how much RAM do you have? I'm running WIndows 7 Ultimate x64 on a system with 2.5 GB RAM, never had an issue. Doesn't even utilize more than 1.5 GB at peak times, most of the time it's 600-800 MB.

You can't upgrade from XP to Win 7.
It has to be a clean installation.
You can actually do clean installation with "upgrade" DVD.

Not entirely sure at this moment, but im thinking 2gb of ram. I will double check when I get home. All I know is the results told me that I would need to upgrade my RAM to run the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

U think I can try and isntall the 64-bit?

Thanks!

Yes, I do. I upgraded from 1.75 GB of RAM not because I needed to, but because I had it laying around. 7 doesn't use as much as they say it does.
 
When I had 2GB installed (on my old rig, one of my stick died) windows 7 liked to keep 25~30% of your physical memory for itself.

With 4GB, it's about 18-25% but it also depends on what you're running, services, startup options etc etc
 
Just let me say that I have NEVER ran out of RAM on my desktop, and I run games like AOE3. I have virtual machines, several browsers, Nero 9, MSO 2007, etc. Never had a problem.

2GB is perfectly enough for Vista and 7, no matter 32-bit, or 64-bit, unless you're running really demanding applications.
 
The amount of RAM you have? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a system with 2.5 GB of RAM, never had a problem. Even the use of more than 1.5 GB maximum, most of the time is 600 to 800 MB.
 
Trouble loading Windows 7

Don't know if this is a Windows 7 (64 bit) problem or DVD/CD device...with wiped hard drives, I loaded Windows 7 in my DVD/CD player the DVD/CD player light blinks 4 times then just stay on...I get nothing on the computer screen and sounds like nothing is happening.

Do I have to have a certain type DVD/CD player (mine is about 6 years old) to load Windows 7?

My system does have 2 gb ram installed
