Here are some of the replies I received and additional questions I have:

Yes, I agree the problem is the kernel. I'll install a new one.

I don't know. How would I find that out?

How would I do that? And if it is 64 bit, how do I determine whether I have a
32 bit subsystem?

I didn't see one.

Good idea, but I really want to get to the bottom of this 64 bit amd problem,
because I know it will keep coming up.
Thanks for the replies.
