Thanks for this valuable information! I had not made that connection. All of the mainstream Microsoft and PC experts that I monitor have stated this either as far as I know. Even Paul Thurrott, author of Windows 7 Secrets and blogs at http://winsupersite.com/, wrote detailed instructions for every type of installation and upgrade for Windows 7, never points this out to my knowledge. He even covers all of the holes and issues with Windows 7 installation and how to get around them. Your explanation certainly makes sense.
Don MarangThere is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.

Um wait if you installed fresh you would not have windows 32 bit so what your saying is you upgraded from a clean windows 7 32 bit install which is going to be problems. The only way I have seen it work clean is if thesystem comes pre installed or if you have a full install CD and the correctdrivers for the computer.

The reason I ask is everyone and I mean everyone that I have asked if they had problems had none unless they put it on old hardware or updated from an old OS. Note when I say old hardware it could be new hardware but it came with 32 bit windows. The reason is more and more manufacturers are gearing the platform to take advantage of the OS and if you tinker you better know what you're doing.

Hi all. Nothing is broke. It's just certain programs, even Windows Explorer, had stability issues on my installation at least. Again, I have no doubts any of you have no problems with 64 bit. This is just my personal feelings on the matter. If you are happy, stick to it, otherwise consider downgrading to 32 bit. Take care.

HI all. I just don't think 64 bit is ready for prime time yet. Although many programs work, they seem to have issues. Or they did with me at least. I had problems so serious with my Windows 7 64 bit installation that I decided to downgrade to 32 bit. I may try 64 bit again in the future now that development has gone some way, such as a new version of both NVDA and JAWS. But I feel if it aint broke don't fix it for the time being. I'm not saying you will all have issues; these are just my personal feelings on 64 bit. Take care.

I'm having major problems around just about every turn with it, despite the fact that its components were extracted to the program files (X86) folder as I'd expect. For example, doing a simple select all, copy on a document throws an ugly error that cripples the system until EdSharp is manually killed through task manager. Invoking most features gets me similar results, although basic viewing and editing of documents doeswork. It's difficult to get the errors word for word as my screen reader is rendered inoperable until I kill the process. I can have sighted eyeshelp me document them if desired, but I thought I'd check with the list first on whether or not I should even spend time trying to get EdSharpworking in a 64-bit environment or if this is a known limitation with no immediate fix. I know in the past Jamal has mentioned that he hasn't theresources to debug 64-bit issues, but I thought 64-bit Windows can run 32-bit applications (excluding antivirus, drivers, etc.) successfully? Any thoughts or ideas welcome. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
