Hi Brian, I think Eli is right. As always. One of your System32 directories probably is SysWOW64 in disguise. Is the program you compare with, a 32-bit one agnostic to your 64-bits Windows? Then it shows C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ as C:\Windows\System32\ (check http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa384187.aspx).
