Click Start -> Run...
Type "winver"
Unless it says "64 bit" somewhere in there, it's 32 bit

Start>>Run>>Type "winver", You will see 64Bit if you have 64Bit. If it does
not say then you have 32Bit.

Greetings --

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.

You do what you should have done before posting - you search the group(s) to
see if anyone might conceivably have had a similar problem. Had you done so,
you'd have found at least 5,000 answers to your question - please visit the

You know what *you* should have done? Stop wasting bandwidth, the question
was already answered 3 times. As well, CDO search capabilities are little
to none.

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.
