Thanks everyone, I learned some more.
Any old .arx or .dll will need to be updated when going from 32 to 64 bit system.
Got everyhing working, no more glitches...but I am looking for an update on the following .dll file, need a 64 bit version:
AxAcadStatusBarButton.dll
;; Requires AcadStatButton.zip available from ManuSoft at
;;
http://www.manusoft.com. See the Readme.txt file for instructions
;; regarding registration of the ActiveX interface. Specifically,
;; the use of AxReg.bat and AxUnReg.bat.
;; Thanks to Owen Wengerd.
;; Note regarding button pressed/not pressed status. Since a reactor
;; is not used to monitor the pickstyle variable, a change to the
;; variable via command line, or Options, or Ctrl-Shift-A will not
;; automatically update the button status. However, the button will
;; correct itself the next time it is picked. By design intent,
;; keep it simple and assume the button will be used in lieu of
;; other methods.
