Jun 11, 2013 6:06 AM in response to BobTheFishermanby Timothyfrazier69,I used the instruction from this site and was able to get it installed and working. The installation was not the problem of Windows it was just the bootcamp install and this helped with that. The problem is solved.

Windows 64 bit is working fine on the late 2006 iMac. I still have to get all the other software installed. Then I might run into problems but for now all updates are installed, printers and other hardware.
I just wish they would make a cheap MOBO that would changeout to make it true 64 bit and all issues would be resolved. I have even thought about buying and newer model with the screen broken and see if the MOBO would fit or the screen from mine in that one.
Thanks for the information and the help,
Tim
