    I am stuck using windows 64 bit.

    Okay, so just like HUNDREDS of other sysops are doing.

    Are sysops 'stuck' with 64-bit Windows though? With enough RAM and drive space, a 32-bit edition of Windows could be run in a VM in such a setup, and DOS doors would be easier to set up with such a setup.

    Yeah, absolutely... That was Phil's choice of words, and I was just responding to the idea that MANY other folks are able to run Win64
    without ANY of the self-induced problems that he has. It wasn't really directed at being stuck with that OS/ver, more so just the *HE* can't
    make it work.

    Well.... to be honest I'm not sure of the correct number. That does
    sound a little high when you put it like that. I'll adjust that and say
    "at least a hundred" sysops are running Windows64...

    This includes more BBS software than just Synchronet, of course. ;-)
