I'm also having issues with spell check on Outlook Express, I'm thinking this may be related? Microsoft knoldgebase is no help. I know my way around a computer pretty good but sometimes I get lost when using some programming lingo.
LimeWire itself should work on Windoze x64, but you'll need the 64-bit version of Java. Look here. It will work with either AMD64 or Intel EM64T processors. It's still too early in my mind to convert to a 64-bit OS. Even though the CPU and OS support 64-bet computing, almost all programs and driver software are still in 32-bit. At this point the trouble it causes overpowers the small increase in performance. Just my thoughts. Good luck.
