Looks like there is no reason now for me NOT to switch to XP x64 for my main computer now

The final 3 obstacles have been overcome.
1. Sound drivers for my X-Fi card
2. Drivers for my WebCam
3. Drivers for my Printer

I have a fully capable system in which to work in XP x64. Yeeeeeeeee
Haaaaaaaaw.

Congrats Wayne.

Thank you Andre. I am using XP x64 to write this with too.



Wayne

 

And your spelling passed spell check

 

Although I have done everything in 64 bit in the past two weeks, I'm keeping
XP Pro active since I paid for it and used it for about 2 days before I
installed 64bit. Maybe I can activate it on another new build, because I
certainly don't intend on using it if I don't have to....

 

There's the ticket. Welcome to the fold.

 

If it's the retail version. And you remove it from the current machine, you
should be able to move it to another machine. If it's OEM, though, it's tied
to the hardware.

 

ROFLOL. Yes, I can even spell works like antidisestablishmentarians, and
not look stupid. LOL


Wayne

 

Well it's OEM, but I never thought I'd be moving so quickly to 64 bit.
Actually it's not a bad thing to keep the dual boot since it's sort of the
ultimate safe mode, in case I bollix things up in 64 bit. I can't afford
much down time on this machine... I've also got 4 more fresh XP Pro disks
for future builds anyways (man I love that company credit card...;-)

 

Sigh. I get to pay for my own. OTOH, this machine(the Ferrari) is running
the Acer OEM copy that came with it on the C: partition, and the beta
payback freebie of x64 Edition on D:, so I can't really complain.

 

Spell check corrects spelling not words. did you perhaps mean words instead
of works ;-)

 

Yes.

 

Yes, and the helpers here at this board are part of the good fun - Da Costa,
Russel, Barnes & others give good advice. Not me, I'm just a newbie.

 

Glad to hear it. I'm snagging an X-Fi tonight to get away from the crap
drivers for my A2ZS. (No, it's not good to reward Creative's failure to turn
out good drivers, but hey, I wanted the card anyway.)

Enjoy your new OS.

 

Glad you think so, I'm learning myself at same time, so its win-win for us
all.

Would I be out of line to ask where you found the drivers, Wayne, or anybody?
