The instructions for performing the update from v1.3 or earlier to the latest v1.4 seem to say that WIndows 7 64-bit is not a suitable OS from which to run the update.  Is this true?  Has anyone dared to try the update from Win7 64-bit?

 

If I'm reading the instructions correctly, it shows a very poor understanding of what is currently being sold with recent computers.  ALL those I have looked at have had a 64-bit OS installed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Notes:

    Starter is not supported in Vista ONLY

    Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit ARE supported  - so you will be OK.

    Have any of you an idea about Mac OS 64 bit, because there is also written that it does not work. ?

     

    Sorry. Not to change the subject. !

    Hello hewestb - Welcome to the Sony Forums

     

    Could you please let me know exactly which version of the Mac operating system you are using. I am aware that in certain Mac environments, it is possible to boot in 32 bit mode (with certain limitations) so if you give me as much information as you can, I will look into this further for you.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Simon
