I am looking at upgrading my hardware to support bigger files etc. and one of the key steps would be to move to a 64bit OS. I have checked the Epson site and they have 64bit drivers for my 7600. Is there a 64bit version of QTR that works in this environment? Any preference between Vista or XP Pro 64bit versions? Thanks! guy www.guywashburnphoto.com

I would stay away from XP64. Not really compatible with anything. You might want to check out windows 7 Release candidate as well which you can get for free from MSFT right now.

I know that Vista has a bad reputation, but I have had no problems with it and, in my experience, it is more stable than XP, which I run on another computer. I use XP64 with QTR and my Epson R2400. I have no problems with it.

Why is XPx64 not compatible with anything. I use both XP64 and Vista64 with no problems. Some drivers are not available for XP64 but that's allbut other than that it is fully 32 and 64bit compatible. It doesn't run 16bit software from Win95 or 98 but who would want to. If you need that then go XP32. XP 64 is a new generation design to make use large size Ram Memory and take advantage of multi processors. Great for photographic work. That is what all graphic people have been wanting for years. Now you say it's not compatible. --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Brentley Beerline" <brentley_beerline@...> wrote:

Xp64 is the least compatible version of the available 64 bit OS. It is actually a port of Windows 2003 Server SP1 64 Bit melded with some of the UI stuff from Windows XP. And it has very real issues with drivers that don't really manifest themselves with other applications; this is actually due to the Requirement that all user mode code not run in Ring 0 (similar to Vista and Longhorn) which was not the case with XP. This makes some software (particularly drivers) impossible to support with a re-write. The default out of box behaviors to not allow unsigned drivers and some of the more stringent requirements made it not very compatible with a number of applications (such as Anti-Virus, software and licensing) which in turns limits the items that will work well. These by design behaviors made initial compatibility not that great and driver support didn't really ever catch up as the OS did sell well enough to justify resources so most companies focused on Vista and are now setup for Windows 7. To repeat my original statement, Vista 64 and Windows 7 are better choices particularly if you are going to run 64 Bit right now.

I have been using XPx64 since 2005 with only minor issues. XPx64 was only available as OEM software at retail level when customers purchased hardware. It was well documented on Microsoft forums that there was a lack of drivers and investigation was necessary. I have been selling computers for over 30 years and XP 64 bit was never going to be for the average person due to cost of hardware. It was designed to be used by Power Users and I sold and supported all my sales here in NZ after I investigated drivers, motherboards and processors with clients existing equipment. I never once sold a 64bit lemon to a customer under XP, although I have supported alot of other dealers customers who maybe got sucked into the sale. Anyone who works with large files needed the 64bit advantage. With Vista things became easier since drivers were available in most cases. Windows 7 accepts most XP 64bit and Vista 64bit drivers that I have tested over the last 18 months of testing, but there are exceptions. I use Qimage, QTRrip, Adobe CS3 and 4, Panorama software including Gigapan software all under XP and Vista 64 with no problems. Also Dual screen and Spyder2Pro colour management.
