Check this out if you're trying to figure out the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit 😉

man, I totally blew it lol... ugh 😬

Man, those arguments are just painful to read.
Having an x86 Program Files folder is actually a great way to go—it lets you see exactly which apps are 32-bit versus 64-bit at a glance.
Personally, I haven't run into any issues using 64-bit versions of Windows. I've got a few machines running both 32 and 64-bit Windows 7, and honestly, there’s no noticeable slowdown.
Sure, you might see some speed difference if you look at a benchmark, but in day-to-day use? Not really. I get that, in theory, 32-bit programs on a 64-bit OS should be slower because of the n factor, but I've never noticed it with my own eyes. This idea you're pushing about 64-bit systems crawling along like a wounded animal is just plain nonsense. And seriously, why is everyone obsessing over Service Pack 1??? For crying out loud, I haven't dealt with a single crash in the six months I've been using this.

I'm having this weird issue where I just can't see any of my updates😬

I'm running into the exact same issue—it’s kind of a headache. Honestly, I'd say just go ahead and install all those updates manually. For me, everything just seemed to fix itself once I did that, I guess.

Just read what was said above.

@darkviper7/">@@darkviper7 maybe try running MSN in Vista compatibility mode on that computer

Man, is it really that hard for people to just use Google when they have a question like this?

👍
Alright folks, let's get back to the main topic.
Can someone please explain why Sticky Notes isn't just a desktop gadget anymore, but actually its own standalone app??

Nah, that’s not really why.
It’s just way easier to write out calculation formulas directly instead of fighting with Word and clicking through five million menus just to get something right.

It’s basically the law at this point, right?
Totally worth it for college—honestly, it's a lifesaver. 😁

hey guys, have you seen this yet:
omg this is HUGE

Nooo, I think he’s probably just saying that Super Bowl isn't always the top priority

It’s kind of overkill—honestly, you can probably just get everything you need by using the Start search bar instead.

If you’re running Professional or Ultimate, you should probably just grab Windows XP Mode.
It lets you run XP right from inside Windows 7

If you've got the RAM on hand, just go ahead and install it now—then I can swing by later and grab the old sticks from you.
Upgrading your RAM shouldn't cause any issues at all, regardless of which OS you're running.
Though, if I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't bother putting Win7 on a setup this weak.
Mainly because, well, first off, Windows is going to eat up a huge chunk of that 30GB drive—maybe not the whole thing, but it’ll definitely gobble up half of it right out of the gate.
Look, just give it a shot and see how it feels for yourself.

It’s gotta be. I mean, they wouldn't just kick it out like that.
Besides, why do you even need that many different operating systems? Since the startup repair tool says it didn't find any issues, maybe one of those other OSs is actually causing the trouble?

You just pop in the DVD from last week and you'll see all those options for a System Restore and other little extras—pretty much the same deal as the "startup repair tool"
