“64 bit on an HP notebook duo core 2 quad etc etc”

I bought an HP laptop, 64-bit, Turion Pavillion with Home Vista Premium. Talk about buyer’s remorse!! I wanted the fast processor to run Adobe PhotoShop, but that program won’t run on the 64-bit system and Adobe has no plans to provide a fix, or support it in any way. Our anti-virus software through Time-Warner won’t run on a 64-bit system so I had to get something else. Best Buy wouldn’t take it back or exchange it since there’s technically nothing “wrong” with it. It does make an interesting door stop. I have the “auto update” feature turned off.

And I’m always fearful with MS auto updates. When I updated my XP system with Service Pack 3 months ago, the system crashed. Had to re-image to virgin state factory settings and am sticking with SP 2. Has never worked well since. Microsoft is like the Great And Mighty Oz. You may not approach them.

OK; I’m done.
