OK one question though did you install fresh, get it on a computer, or did
you update? 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.
