[QUOTE="NotReallyHere, post: 361934, member: 32276"] I don't understand how you 'updated' from 32 to 64 bit. According to [URL="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows#1TC=windows-7"]this Microsoft link[/URL] "If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs." Which basically means that your drive is wiped and 64 bit is installed. You cannot simply install 64 bit on top of 32 bit. That said, I've never had a problem with MS updates since they appeared in Windows XP (at least, I think it was XP). [/QUOTE]
