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.

Is anyone successfully running EdSharp in a 64-bit environment? 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 does
work. 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 eyes
help 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 EdSharp
working 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 the
resources 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.
