This is a real annoyance.
I'm not sure if this ia a problem due to the x64. I notice it install all
32-bit programs in a x86 Program Files folder.
The problem is that when I install a program all links created (on the
desktop) are looking for C:\program files\etc... so none of the links and
icons for these links work...
Once I open up the properties for them, they must manually set. Is this a
x64 specific problem? The more I use x64 I'm not sure what the benefits
are... unless there is software that is x64 compiled. Vista x64 also runs
slower at the operating system level (less snappy) -- same reason I don't use
wireless mice.
I understand x64 is the way of the future, but what use is it if it doesn't
serve today's purposes? Just posting to see if anyone else is experiencing
similar problems. Thanks.
Things I like: Stability is much more solid than XP. For the same reason I
stayed with Win2k (for quite awhile) before going to XP, I am switching to
Vista. It's overall alot more stable and that is what people who don't turn
off their computer for weeks and expect to be running hundreds of things all
at the same time... need.
