I mostly use it as a reference to check for invaled registry entries and manually edit them myself.

OT,

I like the x64 Vista better as well. Although I wish more support for it will hurry up and catch up with it. So far, I had no problems with it either.

Thanks, I'll have to uninstall it and do that. I thought the days of manually editing registry entries were over, but apparently not. Just today, I had to do remove an entry. I installed Adaware 2007, but apparently it's not fully Vista compatible (or at least Vista x64) and even after you delete it a screen comes up saying that it can't find lsdelete which is part of Adaware. Even when you run registry cleaners, it won't get rid of it. You have to manually delete the Lavasoft entries as well as edit the lsdelete line in the bootexecute value. Only then will it stop.
