You are correct. Well, sort of. According to
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/resources.aspx?mkt=en-us&s=1#mainNav
it runs on WinXP Sp2 or Sp3, Vista, And Win7. Nothing about a 64 bit
limitation. I know my own install is Win7 64 bit and it works.

Indexing is a Good Thing on modern computers with large hard drives. I
like the Win7 indexing, but I also have Google Desktop Indexing
installed. Of course, if I was like you and had a lot of super secret
things on my hard drive I can imagine this might be bad.

No, the Security Essentials program although designed for Vista will
install and run on both 32 bit WindowsXP and Windows 7.
I don't think it will run on the 64 bit version.

Anyway, if you can't even install an AV app, clearly it's time for a
clean OS reinstall. There's stuff building up in there and you're
fighting a losing battle.

It's probably used for transferring more data then the older cameras did. I
always used a card reader anyway, because transferring directly from cam to
computer always seemed to suck the batteries dry faster than anything else.

Many newer cameras have two connection modes. One of them makes the camera look
to the PC like a disk and one makes it look like, well, a camera. So, check
your cameras and see if they have two
connection modes. If they do, switch to the other one and try again.

Yes, I am ridiculously annoyed by those extra 4 drives as well, so I
