• Visual Studio moving pages forward - CR recalculates data per page

  Hello all, I am very new to CR and I am using the version that comes with VS 2003.

  I know this sounds like a dumb question but here is why I am asking. I recently installed the .NET 2005 Express versions of C++, C#, and J#.  I have a 64 bit laptop running win64.  It has 2 program folders one for 64 bit apps and 1 for x86 apps.  After the installation was complete I notcied that all of the Visual Studio Express versions were in the x86 folder.  There is however one folder name MS Visual Studio 8 in the 64 bit folder for the Remote debugger.
