Really dumb computer question

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to download the Blaster worm patch for a friend whose computer runs Windows XP Professional. Microsoft lists two patches-- one for the 32 bit edition of XP and another for the 64 bit edition. Which one should I download???

Look under contol panel and system see what edition he has. Most likely I would say it is the 32 bit but you need to make sure.

You'll have to see if you have the windows/system64 or windows/system32 directories. Unfortunately control panel->system->info doesn't tell you. Maybe it does if it is 64 bit.

But unless you are running an itanium processor, you probably aren't running the 64 bit version.
