Will XP 64 install OK? XS11E <xs11e[ at ]NOSPAMyahoo.com> 6/20/2007 5:17:32 PM Probably a weird question but, will XP 64 install and run on my computer with no problems? I'm running Vista 64 and all is fine, I have Vista 64 drivers for all my hardware and the software I've installed is all working after solving a few minor problems. But, Vista isn't what I want, too much stuff I don't use and had to remove, disable, etc. Basically my Vista 64 looks like my XP 32 bit which looks exactly like Windows 2000 which is the last OS I actually liked! Very soon I'll have to redo my PC and that includes changing hard drives. I'm thinking of doing a clean install of the OS (I've got images of XP and Vista 64 so I can change my mind if I need to) and that OS might just as well be XP 64 so..... Does anyone know of any Vista 64 drivers that may NOT work in XP 64 or any area I might encounter problems? -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html

There are substitutes which produce inferior results, especially on higher print levels and printer controls.

I have, however, found a new problem which may not be fixable. I had downloaded all my MSDN product keys and lost my HD, I've recovered most of it, including some of the CD keys but not the XP 64 key, it's possible I never got that one. My MSDN subscription expired in April so I can't go get the keys again and I suspect I'm totally hosed, I'll keep looking but I'm not very hopeful. :-( -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html
