Can anyone explain why Win XP-64 seems to be a leper? NO apps, no drivers
and no information.
There is plenty available if you know where to look.
Best place to start is
www.planetamd64.com
I have an Athlon 64 processor so i decided to try WinXP 64 - it IS faster
and I would love to keep using it but I am finding that a lot of stuff isn't
available - no vido software for 64bit OS,
nVidia, ATI, and nost other major video cards *ARE* supported. If you
bought a 64 bit system, you chould have dteremined that the video card you
have is supported.
took mw a week to find antivirus software (McAfee since Norton STILL does
not support 64bit OS)
Both McAfee and Norton have products that work under Windows XP Professional
x64 Edition. You can purchase them on their websites. In addition, Avast
and AVG are free and have versions that are compatible.
I would have thoughthat there would be SOME software available, someone
writing drivers but it seems to not be happening - can anyone tell me why??
BTW - one major issue right now is a 64-bit driver for a LExmard Z715
printer - any ideas???
Logitech has 64 bit drivers for most of it's products. There are several
games that are 64 bit compatible. A quick trip to
www.planetamd64.com will
show many 64 bit apps.
As for the printer, it is up to Lexmark to write the drivers. You can use
one of the "in the box" lexmark drivers for a model similar to yours.
In closing, before you come here complaining, you should do your homework.
Each statement you made is false and unsubstantiated. You are dealing with
a brand new OS...you have ot be prepared to spend a little time finding what
you need. You cannot expect Microsoft to hand you everything on a silver
plattter. If you are unwilling or unable to invest a little time and
energy, perhaps you shoudl just stick with Windows XP, where yyou cna be
spoon-fed.
