    Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the eMpowering software for Vista 64 bit? I've downloaded the standard edition, but I don't think that it'll work on 64 bit... Vista complains when it loads at startup..

    What sort of errors are you getting, i've used the empowering software on 64 bit before and it worked, but i never use any of it anyway, most of the stuff in the empowering suite can be found in windows.

    It says that the software has known incompatabilities with Vista, and shouldn't be run....

    So I'm sure that its a 64 bit thing now...

    Sounds like you downloaded a version for XP, not Vista.
