Windows 64-bit Edition!

Hoss827

I just got a new laptop today...3.8 ghz 64 bit AMD processor, 512 Ram, 80 gig harddrive, 9600 Radeon video card....And i'm wanting to get the new windows 64 bit edition since my laptop is compatable with it. Now, here is the problem...

I have a program on my computer by factory default (i have an E-machine) called Roxio CD/DVD creator. Now I downloaded windows 64 bit edition, and the file extension is .iso ...unfortunatley, thats the same format as the Roxio CD/DVD creator. So when I try to run the file, it opens Roxio CD/DVD creator preparing it to write that file to a disc...Any ideas on how to fix this???

You need to change your file association. Your computer has as an association with your .iso file extension, Roxio - your headache. Right click on the file, select properties, and then on the general tab, click change. Hope this helps!

damn nice ass laptop.. i think you meant athlon 3800 not 3.8 ghz.. the 3800 runs at 2.4 ghz, either way its a bad ass system. I have a mobile Radeon 9600 w/ 128 on my laptop and I love it !!! Good luck with the Win 64 and let me know how it goes.

ACtually an ISO is a CD image so you will want to burn a CD from that image. I do not know the steps the burn a CD from an image with Roxio though. Check it out. If you read the directions on the MS download page it even states this:
