oh ok............i'll have to keep my eye out tho cause I swore I saw 64 bit
somewhere,
maybe I just remember reading something else...........who knows??? lol
I did not downgrade from Vista.............I guess it was done for me by the
store
CompUSA............I was given the DVDs/CDs, whatever they are, to switch to
Vista if I should want but I don't want ;-)
OK, I'll check the site about any problems on not all the thumbnails showing
as they're supposed to.
I didn't realize any site except the MS Update site would know info about
my pc unless they have some type of scan that's run from their site, like a
free virus scanner or something.
thanks for the help!
sandy
ps. I've had like 8 updates appear from MS today.........busy day for
updates.

It appears that you do *not* have a 64-bit operating system. Nothing in
the description you linked to says the OS is 64-bit. The processor is
64-bit but not the OS. On the General Tab where it identifies the OS
it will say something like "Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit". That
will be followed by version ID and Service Pack number if any is installed.
If the phrase "64-bit" is not present it is a 32-bit OS.
My suggestion: return to the 32-bit version. Check the support at the
website for info on the icon problem. Since you downgraded your Vista
Business to XP Pro ask specifically if that will affect the programs
appearance or functionality. Some software will function properly but
differently in different operating systems. This difference is
dependent upon the capabilities of the OS and the hardware. With Vista
being 10 years newer than XP I would expect substantial differences.
Whenever you connect to a website a lot of non-personally identifiable
data is sent to the website. This includes info about your browser and
OS amongst other things.
