msblaster

[J.K.]

MS tech supports is worthless. I hope someone here can
help.

I went to go download the patch for the msblaster virus.
Now I have XP Pro ver. 5.1 2002. However, there is one
for XP 64 bit & XP 32 bit. My problem is that I don't
know if mine is 32 or 64. Can someone please help me
find out which version I have.

Thank you

You have 32 bit Windows XP.
Also 64 bit is available for Windows XP Pro not Windows XP Home.

Also use the automobile test. (junkers don't count)
Did your computer with Windows XP cost more or less than your
automobile?
If your computer cost less, you have 32 bit.
If your computer cost more, you have 64bit.

Windows XP 64 bit with the required 64bit Intel Itanium processor is
much more expensive than any home computer.

Greetings --

You don't even know what version of the operating system you're
using, and you have the gall to call Microsoft's support worthless?
That's rich.

If you have to ask, you're almost definitely running the 32-bit
version of WinXP. (I'm sure you'd have noticed paying several
thousand dollars more for the Itanium or Itanium II CPU required to
run the 64-bit version of WinXP Pro.) Additionally, there is no
64-bit version of WinXP Home.
