I will try that procedure later. Thanks for posting!
I have a quick question though. Is your Device Manager clear of issues or missing drivers?

Oh okay, I'll just try that procedure later on tonight. I won't be home from work until around 7:00. I was just curious about that missing coprocessor that I had showing up before. Thanks for the speedy reply though!

Wow, I didn't know that was an issue with certain machines. 
I knew the 64-bit kernel was a no-go with SL, but not with Windows too. It's crazy that Apple is holding back a computer with a 64-bit processor. I just don't care for that at all. Boo!
I'm glad to hear there's a workaround though. |

@TonyMontana
It worked, but I still have that missing coprocessor in Device Manager. Were you able to check yours?

Okay, thanks for the update. Perhaps I have a corrupt file or something missing. I'm going to try trashing the partition from the BC assistant and then reinstall W7.

I apologize I was able to check yet.

Gator did you run full Windows updates and restart and then check for more updates? Maybe the missing driver didn't exist on the initial install.

There are other ways to run the x64 installers with admin rights, but they didn't work for me. The command line worked purrrrfectly.

@TonyMontana
I'm going to reinstall W7 in a little bit here. I was going to last night, but ran out of time.
I know that I ran Windows Update until it came up empty. I think it only had 11 important updates and 2 optional updates. The optional ones were for Broadcom wireless and something for my Dell display. I don't remember seeing anything else in the way of hardware.
I'll let you know how it turns out this time around.

I have to install Windows on my Mac to check for compatibility of the websites I design. This will make using Windows an easier pill to swallow.
In a related topic, does anybody know where 10.6.3 stands? 10.6.2 ruined the speed and stability gains that the original release version of Snow Leopard brought over Leopard.
