[QUOTE="JCyrus, post: 1003521, member: 90599"] So I have a macbook that I purchased in April of 2008. I recently needed to install Windows XP to run ESRI's ArcGIS software for school/work, so I asked a buddy who is a computer science major if he could get me a copy of XP from his MSDN account. He did, and it almost works wonderfully. Except when deciding between 32 bit and 64 bit, it seemed like the only difference was memory, and while I only have a macbook, I upgraded the memory to 4gb, and so I thought 64 bit was the best option. Of course, when I went to install the drivers however, it said something to the extent of "64 bit is not supported on this device." Is there any way to work around this? Or do I just need to swallow my pride and go back to my friend and ask for a copy of the 32 bit XP. [/QUOTE]
