New 64 bit pains
I just set up a PC with XP pro64 and after wrangling with downloading the latest drivers and 80+ patches from microsoft update I ended up with the propsys.dll error and no audio from one side. Found out after doing a few rollback drivers, uninstalls and reinstalls that it was the HD audio program from Realtek. It seems you have to uninstall both the driver from hardware control panel and the software from add/remove programs first then install the latest driver and software together Version r1.54 and it fixed my problem.
Just not sure what is running in 32 bit and what is running in 64 bit, task manager shows the stats. but is not trusted by me 100%. This PC is for my brother in Pearl Harbor and I am using it as a shake down for future 64 bit PC's that I plan to build. One thing for sure is that when compared to XP pro 32 bit operating system on the same PC I get a lot faster response and speed numbers from the 64 bit Op.
System Info,
AMD3500+ 64 cpu
Biostar nf61v motherboard
1 gig Giel ddr2-800 ram
160 gig WD sata2 hdd
I plan to try a few different Motherboards and CPU's such as dual core x2 3800 , 4600 and 5000 along with some different PCI express 16 video cards and memory mfg's.
