Thanks.  I thought there was a way to edit it but I was going to have to
just look and see if I could figure it out.  This helps.  It gives me
hope that it is doable too.  ;-) 

I wonder, if I try to boot the 32 bit version if it would work? 
According to some of the things I read, it affects the 64 bit stuff but
not 32 bit stuff.  Hmmmmm.  Interesting.  ^-^

Thanks again.
