i have read that the unlocker will not work on 64-bit vista. i cant promise how much truth there is to that, but i know a buddy that did it on 32, and since that guy said 64 will not work and you have both...be safe and do the 32.

and yes there is a way to re-lock it. it is described in detail in dharvey4651's great tutorial, one of the subsections. i get the impression it is very risky, but that it can and has been done safely with a lot of care and precision.

any other questions/comments/concerns?

good luck!
I was able to run the unlocker with Vista 64. It did keep telling me that SLEEP4.exe was not supported by vista 64, but it did end up working in the end.
