Why I Installed 32 bit is not the point and this was already explained
 
BUT here you will see why 64 is crap, here you can activate all memory you want with this bootkit. I DID IT !
Go ahead, make your day : www.itsec.it/2012/08/06/x86-4gb-memory-limit-from-a-technical-perspective/#comment-3836

 
 

K, relatively new to this, but tried nevertheless. I run a 32bit  version of Windows 7, and want this due to the fact that it'll take me ages to reinstall everything I have on a clean x64 version (also, asides from memory, have no actual need for x64).
I followed the instructions start to end and encountered no errors whatsoever. I rebooted, chose the "All memory" option, and it seems to work fine (shows all 4GB now and though the lower right corner of the screen says "Test Mode Win7").
However, after a relatively short period of time, with little to no action on my part, I get BSODs stating either 'page fault in nonpage area' or 'PFN list corrupt'.
Memory was tested and is fine, and I have new drivers for everything as far as I can tell. Any ideas what might be screwing this up? Really want this to work...
 
Thanks in advance!

Probably a driver issue being mapped into the wrong or unexpected memory space. You can probably narrow it down by booting into safe mode and going into device manager and disable individual hardware and reboot. Start with say, your audio device, then Ethernet, etc etc until you find the one that doesn't cause a BSOD.

Sorry if this is old but, when i did this (after some common sense work around some problems) my computer's resolution is limited to 1600*1200 when the actual maximum is 1920*1080.  
How the heck do i fix this?
Oh and btw my computer specs:
Amd Phennom 2 x6 1055t @2.8 ghz
8gb ram (this is why i did this)
Amd radeon 4250 biult in graphics
Asus m4a88td-m

Huh....

Glad I didnt have to necro this thread, as its easily the best thread on this subject out there.
Anyhoo, like that one guy a fair while back in this thread, I've hit a snag at the;
 
editbin /release ntkl64g.exe
 
command. I get the same error as well:
 
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ntkl64g.exe'
 
I'm currently running Windows 7 (32x, but I guess thats obvious), and any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
 
p.s. Oh, and another question. If I've exited out of command prompt at this stage (I cant wait all night for a response, no offense) will I have to re-input all the commands?

Wouldn't it just make sense to install a x64 OS in the first place?

this is useful but you just tried it on VMware, is it really work in a real windows 7 ?
and can you give me the link for visual studio 2008 edition because the version you gave is the 2012 edition, I can't find the 2008 version.
I really want to to try this, no I don't want to try, I have to do this, it's just a waste if I have 4GB ram on windows 7 32bit but it just read 3.15gb, so please help me

Why do you need 2008?  You can use 2012, it's the same thing.

sir, I have problem here
when I decided to proceed anyway, when i typed the command: makecert -r -ss my -n "CN=My Cert"    ....
It says that: 'makecert' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
please, reply ASAP, I'm doin it now
I'm running windows 7 ultimate version.
 
please help..
I dont want to mest something up..

makecert.exe comes with both Visual Studio and the Windows SDK, just download and install.

Forgot to ask, can you do this on windows xp pro x86?
will be amazing

 
I don't see why not but it is far easier just to migrate to Windows XP Pro 64 bit

I cannot find on win xp pro any of these hex strings
7C 11 8B 45 FC 85 C0 74 0A and 7C 10 8B 45 FC 85 C0 74 09
are you sure this works on win xp ?

I am searching for the xp hex strings, they are nowhere to be found so far :(, is it true that xp pro x86 SP1 with /PAE works without any patches ?

I have SP3 and those hex values are not there, I was wondering that maybe I should use SP1 instead :)
 
but if the values are different and they are nowhere to be found, what should I do ?
