Thread: Wondering what might have changed.

Wow. That's a shock! Not teaching you to such eggs but? Perhaps your memory fails? Did you possibly have the 32Bit on, and are now trying to install 64 bit, which your laptop doesn't have??

Thanks Dave, you've now joined my wife and a huge amount of others who have some questions about the viability of my memory.
But no, I actually downloaded the 32 bit version twice when the problem occurred the first time with the one from TechNet, I decided just in case to grab the 32 bit version from the Public Release. I also have another source through Microsoft Connect for a 32 bit download but if they are that messed up then I think I will hold off and revisit the issue later.
The 64 bit version installed without a single isses (except for skype acting stupid again) on my main computer so at least there's that.

Found this on Technet, Trouble??
Enter the bios settings and find the item "EXECUTE BIT" and enable it. This will take care of the CPU problem
