Hi

will surely try to help you out but please give us more information
1. Name (Brand) of Computer Tower/System, Notebook Brand and model [Notebook = misnomer of 'Laptop' ;) ]

2. Amount of available Memory (RAM)

3. Whether Zorin is the only OS on the computer or dual-boot (e.g. Windows [and which version of Windows!] and Zorin).

4. Hard Drive partitioning.

5. Graphics card make and model, or Graphics chipset in respect of Notebooks.

6. Audio chips/Soundcard

7. Wireless Dongle or PCI Card, or Wireless chipset.

8. Whether you ran Zorin Live first to check it worked before installing.

9. Which version of Zorin you have installed/have in mind to install.

Thanks

So we've established it is a note/netbook due to the information on madison mobile. Whilst (some) Atom Processors have 64-bit bandwidth in such devices they can only run 32-bit Operating Systems - that's down to how intel program their hardware - what OS came with the unit?

Hi

no 32 bit OS for Zorin 15 Beta - it will come when the Lite version is ready. (it will take some time)
in meantime you may tryout Zorin version 12.4 as 32 and 64 bit are available
Code:

I do not understand you want to use your distro, but the problem is still not resolved ...

I am making wild assumptions here - what version of windows came with this netbook or was it empty of any OS? ;)
