Orthos won't run on my new Vista 64 rig.

[videopho]

Freshly installed and new built rig.
Orthos run resulted in a missing worker.dll?
3dmark06 run resulted in missing openAL.dll
Prime95 ran extremely slow (only one core), though it did run 6 hours w/o error.
cpuz sees only one core. the selection window is grayed out.
Super-Pi seemed to run ok.
Memtest passed all early tests. (5 passes)

See sig in 2nd rig.

Please help.

Due to Vista 64's signed driver model, many benchmark programs do not run in a normal environment. Trying rebooting. Then hit F8 between post and the Windows boot screen, and then select "Run in Unsigned Drivers mode." This should at least allow Orthos and CPU-Z to run properly. I have no problems running 3DMark06 on my system in a normal boot environment, so it may be a driver issue there.

Mark.

Worker.dll needs to be the same place as the orthos.exe. I stashed it out of the way on my desktop and it works fine. I have the same problem with cpu-z 3D mark 06 I can't address but 3D mark 05 works on my system

There is no need to be disabling driver signing to run Orthos or CPU-Z.

There are rare instances where that becomes necessary, but this is not one of them.

Both Orthos & 3DMark06 do work just fine in Vista 64, as does CPU-Z.

For Orthos, make sure you extract the entire contents to the same folder (redownloading wouldn't hurt).

Get the latest OpenAL installer here: http://www.openal.org/downloads.html

CPU-Z doesn't have a selection dropdown for the individual cores; the selection dropdown is for Processor #1, 2, etc. if you have a multi-CPU system.
Look just to the right of that & you'll see it listing Cores, 2.

Open task manager (CTRL + ALT + ESC) & check under the performance tab to see both cores operational.

Getting two Prime 95 instances to work involves some slight modifications, hence why most people use Orthos, as it's easier to use (& does the same thing).

Downloaded the attached Orthos's worker.dll didn't do a darn thing.

3dmark06 run resulted in missing openAL.dll

There is a hot-fix in Futuremark.com's FAQ by going to Creative Labs' developer site and downloaded the openAL32.dll that fixes the prob;em.
My score = 8832

Prime95 ran extremely slow (only one core), though it did run 6 hours w/o error.

Found a new Prime95 download for dual core that needs no mod.
Ran 22 hrs straight w/o error.

cpuz sees only one core. the selection window is grayed out.

N7 pointed out the differences. Thanks

Super-Pi seemed to run ok.
Memtest passed all early tests. (5 passes)

No idea why you can't get Orthos running, but glad to see you got everything else goin.

P95 is the same thing basically anyway.

I agree with others. It should work. I am running Vista 64bit Ultimate and Orthos and 3Dmark06 both run fine on my system. It is the "server" in my sig.
