Problem with web searches today is that you have to wade through not related hits to find one good one. But that's life. Its better than no search. Arie; Thanks, I have many 32 bit programs running just fine. It's the one like Fit-it and System Mechanic that not only aren't compatible but cause severe problems that have me concerns.

Joined Mar 19, Messages 24, I made a thread awhile back when Vista x64 was RTM last year and related my experiences with it.
I have yet to see a game that doesn't work or hasn't been fixed since that time. Joined Apr 17, Messages 2, Every game I have thrown at it runs at this point. There are some minor glitches, like if I leave EQ2 running and walk away, it memory leaks in Visat 64, so after about 10 hours, it reaches the 2GB limit and vista shuts the program down.
Everything else though runs fine, Bioshock, UT3, all of orange box, and the Witcher I just started using Vista 64 like a month ago, and I am not looking back, it works great. Joined Jul 30, Messages Many games with bit protection do not work in Vista x
