Your running a netbook so your win 7 is likely to be 32 bit. Just do a full restore and save yourself the pain. -- Best Regards: Baron.

But that's not the question. The question is, is Win7 in both 32- and 64-bit? I have two friends that bought Vista 64-bit systems that came with a free upgrade to Win7. the upgrade was not available to Vista 32-bit systems being sold at the same time. This makes me believe that Win7 is always going to be 64-bit.

In turn creating more hardware sales. -- Best Regards: Baron.

Right answer. I reloaded Win7, then Uninstalled McAfee -- the installer that comes with the machine has McAfee built in, and I cannot deselect it -- then called my ISP's tech support line and found that their stuff has merged with McAfee (or otherwise joined forces). In any case, the problem isn't exactly what I thought it was. It's just as bad, but not what I thought. One of the things that my ISP offers is something called Family Protection, and it protects the family by not working right. They connected me with a guy in India that had me uninstall the Family Protection, and my machine works right with the ISS running. Now I have to re-evaluate my situatin with my ISP relative to the ISS they offer. |
