64 bit does vista's bling good. just something i find a bit confusing, it seems like there's two registries now. a 64 and 32 bit one?

Apparently it's for running programs in 32-bit compatibility mode or something. It's been mentioned somewhere around here before I think.

All of the 64bit versions run something called. WOW (Windows on Windows) which is why you will notice that there is also a program files for 32bit applications as well.

64bit Vista is quite fantastic OS

I have 64 bit Ultimate on my PC, and it works well. However, came across an issue that isn't Microsoft's fault. I tried to install Adobe CS2, but the installer will not work when you point to the 32 bit Program Files folder, nor to the 64 bit Program Files Folder, because that is for trusted installers only.

I suppose I could try putting it in something like C:\Adobe, but that's messy. I like my file system neat and in place.

Asha thats adobe, they could fix it but they want people to buy cs3

CS2 worked fine in 64bit for me. So did CS3! CS4 is even better

Time for an update?
