Am I the only living human being that has experience significant issues with getting 64 bit running reliably?

Everything from the 64 Bit iExplorer not having Flash support at launch, Intel Storage Matrix software trashing my RAID 1 arrary, lengthy stalls in performance, non-installation of mainstream 32 bit applications are just some of the issues I've had to work through.

This was a clean install on a Quad Core Duo box with 4 GB RAM, 1.5 TB RAID 1, with Win7 Ultimate.

Unfortunately, there is no 64-bit version of flash at the moment, so you're pretty much stuck here. Just have to use the 32-bit version of IE xP

It sounds like you are not familure with the beast. There is currently no flash available for 64bit, and you may need to go directly to Intel to get the latest software matrix software and driver for Windows 7.

It's screaming right along here, especially after installing an SSD X24-M.

Everything's fine now. I did go to Intel, AMD/ATI, and many others to grab the latest fixes for 64 bit. That'll ultimately stablized things. I was mostly venting...

I had a great experience running Win 7 32 bit RC from the beginning, but I shoulda known better to expect a perfect 64 bit experience.

I'm anxiously preparing to run the 64 bit beta of Office 2010 next...

Um... no, a quad processor can't be called duo. It's either a quad (4 cores) or a duo (2 cores). Q6600 (Kentsfield) would mean it's a quad, 2.4GHz.

Intel? Core?2 Quad is its proper name. That's what I'm running as well. So far no problems running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I'm running Office 2010 x64 and it flies, much faster than Office 2007 on the same machine. Not only that but it seems extremely stable for a beta build.

Been running X64 Windows, first Vista and then 7 for nearly 2 years now with no issues at all, only thing that doesn't work is the original Trackmania, and that doesn't work on Vista or 7, 32 or 64 bit due to the outdated Starforce driver

Try getting it through Steam or gog.com, i'm using Trackmania Nations Forever and that works fine.

Trackmania Nations Forever works fine, all of the most recent Trackmania games work perfectly well for me, it is only the original Trackmania game that doesn't. The original Trackmania game isn't available on GOG, and Steam only has the most recent Trackmania game in its catalogue.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
