Windows XP x64 Edition

[broken]

Yesterday, I installed the new 64 bit edition version of Windows XP on my computer. It ran a lot faster than it's 32 bit counterpart, but it doesn't like 32 bit drivers. Here are a few screen shots:

Thanks cvrk3, but it's you who we have missed here lately. We are all excited that you've returned!
I've been having to concentrate on my job much more of late, plus the weather is so nice with 14 hours of sunlight making it difficult to stay indoors. I have a lot of yard work to do , which keeps me busy in the Spring and Summer months. The moderator responsibility has added no burden upon me whatsoever, I only help look after a few forums as well. So far, so good. Let's keep our collective fingers crossed. We have a good group of Googlers here.

You mentioned you are currently running Windows 2000. That's a nice OS: security and stability. I'm too lazy to learn Linux. I'm running XP PRO SP2 w/ about 20 critical security updates so far I think, plus I use Firefox with many extensions. At times, it seems like a neverending update, but I wouldn't have as much fun if there was nothing to tinker with. Gooooogler has peeked my interest again with Opera, so I'm checking it out, too. I hate the advertisements that are docked at the top of my browser though, ARGH!! I know I'm not paying $40 USD for them to go away though. I anxiously await IE 7!! I apologize for the tangents, I get way off topic sometimes.
