I'm sure someone else has already noticed this, but I was amused to see that
you cannot run the Vista upgrade advisor against x64 Edition.  OTOH, I'm
sure MS doesn't feel too concerned, as it probably expects the 64 bit
aficionados can take care of themselves.  I'm still running ...

Is there any advantages to going from x64 pro to vista. As usual I bought a
system with what I thought would be good for several years. Now a new release
and I don't know. As a side note, I was using win98 untill I bought this
system :)

I tried searching the forum but nothing seemed to match.  How can I get
support on one of the newest versions of XP (x64) to play Media Center
Edition drv-ms files?  This can't be this hard to do!!  I keep getting an
error "trying to download codec"

Now that it looks like moving to Vista from x64 will require a clean install
(see recent thread in this same newsgroup), that brings up a question or
two.
1) Will my x64 drivers work in Vista? I only have two that I'm really

Does anyone know where I can get (or if microsoft offers) an update of the
drivers to my wireless keboard for x64. I've looked on their website and
found nothing.

Is there a reasonable easy way to tell if a .DLL file is 16bit or 32bit?
Thanks

When did Windows XP X64 come out?  The lack of third party support  i,e
drivers and software reminds me of when I switched from Win 98 SE to Win XP.

Do I need to download Service Pack 2 for XP Professional 64?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Can someone tell me why I cannot install this software.  I have upgraded to
xp service pack two.  When I try to install, I receive an error message,
saying, this version of windows cannot be installed on this machine.  I have
a Dell Inspiron 5160.

I probably should have known better than to ask advice in the PC World shop,
but I specifically told them I wanted to build a 64 Bit Computer to try out
XP 64 bit and later Vista. They recommended the 865PE-A7 Elite Motherboard
and a Celeron processor, but the Installation CD ...

Hi, i've just installed Windows xp 64 professional on my Asus P5w DH
