W.L.M. 64-bit compatable?

I was thinking of getting Vista Home Premium 64-bit for my next O.S. and
wanted to make sure W.L.M. was compatable with it. Is It?

I have it going under vista x64 ok - installed as a 32bit program though I
dont know if a native 64bit is available or not

Re: W.L.M. 64-bit compatable?

is there a 64-bit version or do you just have to install it as a 32-bit piece
of software? and if there is a 64-bit version, does that run faster? (i
would think the 64-bit version would run faster...(video and audio chat
wise)..but was just wondering.

Greetings,

Nah, it's a 32-bit app, there is no 64-bit version to obtain.

Faster? questionable. Although the processing of audio/video would benefit from some of the
advantages of the x64 architecture, the actual end-user experience wouldn't change much.
