I'm using Windows7 64 bit and love it. I'm using the new Beta of JAWS 12 and did great with JAWS eleven. I really like it myself. There was one problem I had though. I put Office seven standard 32 bit on my computer and Outlook shut down the wrong way. When I finally got a copy of Office 7 professional 64 bit, I have had no problems. It works great. Remember, cars aren't the only things recalled by their maker!

I will bear this in mind when ever I decide to get a new computer in the future. If I remember rightly although this was sometime ago so I don't know where it stands now that you got a 64 bit OS not sure which one though but you changed back to 32 bit because Jaws was having issues. If you can remember what were the problems at the time and do you know if they are fixed?
