Is anyone using Windows XP 64? If so how are they getting along? Many problems with drivers and such?

I gave it a test drive; M$ give out a trial. I donwloaded it. It ran great with no problems but; -

1. real Player would not run as it does not support 64 bit technology I can live without BBC to liten to.

2. Canon scanner driver is 32 but only; I am supposed to be scanning our family photos so this was an essential.

Oddly everything else I had ran fine; office appliacations, San Andreas etc.

After a couple of days and investigating I returned to 32 bit land to get back the use of the above. It's amazing what a reformat can do to speed!

I initially encountered the same problem. Luckily Real Alternative works just fine. I'd be at a loss without streaming stuff from the bbc.

Lack of a 64bit printer driver is the only remaining annoyance for me.
