Windows 7 Software problems on Triple Channel Memory systems.

[Nick79]

Has anyone had any problems with running software on systems equipped with Triple Channel memory ?

I currently have a program that will not install on my main PC running Windows 7 Pro 64bit with an Intel i7 960 CPU (Bloomfield Core) with Asus P6X58D Premium Motherboard and 6 Gbyte of triple Channel Memory. The installer fails within a few seconds of starting with what appears to be an attempt to execute non-executable address.

It will install OK on my Laptop running Windows 7 Home 64bit with an Intel i5 CPU and 4 Gbyte of dual channel RAM.

I have had a similar problem with another program that would not run on my main machine (it failed when attempting to load images saved by itself), but would run OK on the laptop.

The software supplier could offer no help on this issue, but when later version of the program was installed when it became available the problem was cured.

This leads me to assume that the original program was incompatible with systems running Triple Channel memory.

Has anyone else had similar experiences ?

Is so, was a cure found ?

The issue you are facing with programs not installing or running properly on a system equipped with Triple Channel memory is not common, but it can occur depending on how the programs interact with the system hardware and memory configuration. Here are some insights and steps you can take to address this problem: 1. Memory Configuration: - Triple Channel memory configurations are not inherently problematic. However, some software applications may have compatibility issues with specific memory configurations. Ensure that the installed RAM modules are compatible with the motherboard and are functioning correctly. 2. Compatibility Mode: - Try running the installation and affected programs in compatibility mode. Right-click on the program's executable file or shortcut, go to Properties, and set the compatibility mode to an older version of Windows. This may help the software run correctly. 3. Driver Updates: - Ensure that all your system drivers, especially motherboard chipset drivers and graphics drivers, are up to date. Outdated drivers can lead to compatibility issues with certain software applications. 4. Check System Requirements: - Verify that the software you are trying to install meets the system requirements of your PC. Some applications may have specific requirements that are not met by your hardware configuration. 5. Contact Software Support: - Reach out to the software vendor’s support team to report the issue. They may have insights on compatibility issues and could provide a solution or workaround to get the software running on your system. 6. Update the Software: - If possible, ensure that you are using the latest version of the software. Newer versions often come with bug fixes and improvements that may address compatibility issues with different hardware configurations. 7. Registry Settings: - In some cases, adjusting specific registry settings related to memory management can help resolve compatibility issues. It’s important to exercise caution when making changes to the registry. By following these steps and investigating the compatibility of the software with your system's hardware configuration, you may be able to resolve the issue and get the programs running smoothly on your main PC with Triple Channel memory.
