I will be installing a new system and have no experience with the 64-bit version, only the 32-bit version. On my 32-bit system I use NOD32 for my virus checking program and Acronis True Image as my backup program. Does anyone know if these programs run on Win XP Pro 64? If not, anyone have recommendations? (Do viruses run on a 64-bit system???) Thanks Ken K |

The name is a bit off-putting but it is 64 bit if you down-load the right one :-) -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK If you ever find something you like buy a lifetime supply because they will stop making it |
