Plone problem on WinXP Pro x64 remains

I don't think WinXP x64 works 100% of the time with Zope
Server. As a few MS
apps themselves don't run on their own OS this isn't
surprising.

Am I the only person running Plone on WinXP Pro x64? I have
had the same
intermittent

problem  for many months and it remains with the last
install of Plone 3.0
just a few days ago.

Before the last fresh install I did have Plone running
reliably I could even
start and stop it from Plone controller which was the first
time ever. It
got better with each Win live update (patch) until it was
fully stable. Then
when Plone had been re installed it went back to not working
some times. I
have now been a day without it starting (\localhost is a
blank page and
ZMI is unable to connect to host). There are so many
restarts before I give
up.

Key features:
If Zope starts and you keep a connection then it never fails
for the whole
session
There appears to be a critical window after start up when
Zope will run. But
if it fails it will never come back.
Hard to say when too early is but after 10 minutes (may be
less) it will
fail if you haven't already tried and made a connection to
Zope.
If I hadn't experienced this and made my own notes over many
months I
wouldn't believe it either. Just a shame I can't run my CAD
on Mac or Linux
:( and that I treated my 64 bit CPU to a 64 bit OS.

BTW Plone 3.0 rocks (when I have it running) thanks for a
great product.

XP x64 isn't really supported or tested for Plone, AFAIK —
if you want to  
do 64 bit on Windows, you're better off with Vista,
unfortunately. XPx64  
was a stepping stone that never got much support, neither
from driver  
makers nor Microsoft.
