Motorola Software Update for x64?

I have Windows XP x64 on one of my PC's, and I've always used the MSU program with P2K Commander to add ringtones (under the x86 XP architecture...couldn't ever find anything to do it under linux though :-/) to my phone. I tried installing MSU to my x64 PC, and it just came up with an error saying it can only be installed on a 32 bit OS. Does anyone know of either a 64 bit version of MSU available for download, or some other programs I can use to achieve the same thing? I hate having to the laptop to add ringtones.

Thanks in advance

Oh, by the way, the phone I'm adding ringtones to is a vzw krzr k1m, modded with the alltel firmware

There isn't another version of MSU.

Why not? Probably for the same reasons that other software vendors have for not having an x64 version

Blazing trails isn't always the most productive place to be, that's why I went back to 32-bit, even on my Sun Ultra here at the office. Besides, the liklihood of having 8GB of memory on anything but my Sun servers any time soon is just about nil.

And a Linux version? Dream on...

Sounds like you might want to play with VMware...

It'd be easier than setting up a VM

If you see the way the app looks, it's obviously VERY consumer oriented. Should be no surprise that x64 isn't supported. And it's not the app itself that won't work. The app includes the USB drivers, which are 32-bit. These get installed EVERY time the app is run because consumers won't be downloading their drivers from motodev.com...
