I had finally come to an understanding with Vista x64 and was able to get it working pretty much the way I wanted it to with a lot of tweaking. However, I've found that I just can't resolve one issue. I can't shop on Korean websites. I think the problem lies with the Korean credit card software not playing nice with 64 bit systems, because it hasn't worked with XP x64, either.

Is there any way you can think of the resolve or work-around this?

Cheers.

Use internet explorer for buying stuff. X64 is available.

Use the 32-bit version of IE and try running it in compatibility mode?

Shopping on the Korean internet (or banking, etc) is not something I would expect Vista x64 to do well.

From what I've heard, doesn't Vista disallow ALL Active-X? That would rule out using it for just about anything in Korea, right?

To my understanding, many Korean sites require Korean citizenship (you must be pure Korean or get help from one) to use so that might be why what ever site you're attempting to purchase from is not letting you.

Does the site require you to enter your national ID to register and you're entering your ARC #? If so, get a Korean to help you make the purchase.

I would not think for a second Korean systems are not compatible with Vista as Korea tends to keep technically up to date when it comes to internet and systems.

I use internet banking and buy w/ credit card from K-online sites and have vista x64. Can't use firefox but everything works fine w/ internet explorer.
