is there going to be any support for 64 bit operating systems?? this is making me want to send my compu 1024 back and get something that can handle 64 bit. it runs perfectly on my 32 bit os. but not my 64 bit.

i think i am going to take my computer back and get a 32 bit. i really like the program
isnt there a way to downgrade vista as 32bit? And if you have 4 gigs of ram swap it out for 3?

Sincerely,
There is no downgrade from 32bit to 64bit. Instead, Windows XP x64, Vista 64 and Server 64 all have 32bit emulators in them to make 32bit programs work on them. The issue is drivers for 64bit are completely different for 32bit.
As for the RAM issue. You can use 4 gigs of RAM on a 32bit OS. The way RAM limits are determined are by your physical extensions and how much your CPU can handle. Most processors now a days are are 40bit, meaning 2^40 bits of memory or 1,099,511,627,776 bits of data. 128 gigs of RAM to be exact. I know AMD's newer processors are 48bit, or 327,680 gigs of RAM. The reason for this is because 64bit can actually do 17.2 billion gigs of RAM, which no one in this day and age will ever need.
Now as for your computer being able to use it, yes a 32bit OS can. The reason you don't see all the RAM in the OS is because the system actually uses some of it. The stuff like video cards, LAN cards, RAID cards, chip sets, etc. They all use RAM, just a bit (or a lot in the case of integrated graphics) of RAM to do what they do. So when you add 4 gigs of RAM to a 32bit OS, the system takes some of that RAM for those things and uses it there. This is the reason why some people see 3.5 gigs, others 3.25 gigs, and some 3 gigs. So your computer is using it, you just can't use it in Windows is all.
Lastly, your motherboard is generally the limiting factor with the amount of RAM you can have. Most are 4 gigs max, some are 8 gigs now but you have to generally set it up to be, running RAM at a lower speed, more voltage to the RAM, and possibly more chip set voltage as well. The two towers I have 8 gigs of RAM in, one I had to add .05v to the chip set, the other I didn't. Both had to be set to DDR667 to run. All of my other computers are running 4 gigs, only a couple with Windows XP, most Windows XP x64.

any word on 64 bit compatibility? according to microsoft that is the way computers are headed is to 64 bit operating systems, and the amount of 64 bit computers with 64 bit operating systems has tripled in the last year..
our developers have said they are working in this but can't give us a timetable of when the compatible drivers would be done and ready for distribution.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
According to the engineers, they are waiting on Microsoft to release a key.
This key is essential for Compu to work with 64 bit.
They are taking there sweet time to do this, and all we can do is wait.
But, the system is in place to work with 64 bit already.

Any updates on this?
I still cannot use my new laptop with CompuWare which is really annoying!

Microsoft has not released anything.
just got word from our software engineers that they have no plans for a 64bit driver.
Sorry.
Sincerely,
Sorry.

Ouch. That really surprises me. Biggest reason is since Windows Bloatware aka Vista wants a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM, 4 recommended. Next OS's are most likely going to want 4 gigs minimum. That means 32 bit OS's are done. 64 bit is the wave of the future, and we probably won't see 128 bit in our life time, or our children's lifetimes either. So it is going to be here, and it is going to be here to stay.
I got a message from the engineers boss this morning. They have other engineers working on it but the one I was talking to is not working on it. 64 Bit is on track.. still no ETA.
Any updates to this delima? I have new laptops and a 32 bit OS isn't an option. I really need to have this work, especially before I buy 3 more units for my new lighting design services.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I am still waiting for confirmation that we will be releasing a 64 bit driver sometime soon. I will get back to you as soon as I know something.

any updates on the 64 bit? this is getting irritating. its been almost a year since i originally posted this topic, and yet nothing has been do as of now, to fix this problem.
i havent used my compu1024 yet, ive had it for over a year, and am not going to buy another pc, as 32bit os are becoming a thing of the past.
thanks,

I was recently informed that 64 bit will only be available on the compu Show SD that will be released within the next 60 days. So it's coming.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
so are we going to have to buy compu show sd or is it going to be a free upgrade i have compu ec
I Don't have that information yet. Sorry.

Hi Sonic, Both Compu 1024EC and Compu 2048FC will not be Vista 64bit compatible.
We will shortly be releasing Compu Show SD.. it is similar to Compu 2048FC.. and will be Vista 64bit compatible.
When we finally release the Compu Show SD we will offer upgrade oportunities..
We are not certain at the moment how these upgrades will work however if you have a Compu 1024EC then I am certain their will be an upgrade fee. We are trying to release it as soon as possible. but don't have a release date at this time.
We are anticipating a release within 60 days.

Sincereley,
I am also having problems with my new laptop not recgonizing my new compu live interface...
Since I have an old copy of Windows XP would that be a solution to this problem?

Is your laptop 64 Bit?
Yes, my new Dell is 64 bit. But the interface worked on my old Dell which was also 64 bit... I just got a new one cuz the old one got stolen... I orderd the same exact laptop and now the interface wont work...
Your Compu live should not have worked on a 64 bit OS. But if you Try to reinstall the Os on your 64 bit machine. I have heard you cannot downgrade from a 64 bit OS to a 32 Bit. I am on a 64 bit desktop and i cannot get my Pc to see the interface. So I feel for you. We will have a 64 bit solution like john said within 60 days.

What about downloading the driver updates from the website?
Those drivers on the compu live software downloads page is only for 32 bit OS.
But correct me if im wrong didn't you use My DMX? Or am I mistaken?

What is My DMX? I actually found out that my old comp, the one that got stolen, was a 32 bit comp. which is why it worked on the old laptop. I am wondering if I should get a 32 bit comp or wait for an update from you guys. Any suggestions,
My DMX is a simpler version of Easy stand alone software. and it is sold by American DJ. It does support 64 bit Os. you can look at my dmx here.

But if you compare the two side by side compu live is more advanced with better features in my opinion. and i would prefer compu live if i had to choose.
As far as waiting for us that's entirely up to you. We do still expect a release in the next 30 days or so.
