Hm, what's the output of command reg query HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0 on your machine?

The problem occurs at your code for detecting whether the machine is 64bit and how different windows version reports processor information. Vista and above reports it as AMD64 but Windows XP reports it as x86-64. Your script looks for the string "x86" in the queried information and found x86-64 and assumes that it's a 32bit processor. A more accurate way of doing that is to actually run a 64bit executable and watch for the error code. If the program successfully ran, it means it's a 64bit machine. Also I wanna ask why windows XP is supported, windows 7 is supported, but windows vista is not?

image Symfetch.exe is 64bit, you can just use that one for testing.

Because I always hated that Windows version, it was the worst of XP and 7 mashed up in one release, so imho nobody is seriously using this crappy version of Windows, so why wasting time and resources on it ;-)
