12/04/2015: how to run 32-bit software on a laptop teacher Win7 64-bit?

12/04/2015: initially, my laptop running Win 7 Home Edition, but I want to run Topo series National Geographic, which had been purchased several years ago.  Since I had invested so much money in the complete series of Topo, more accessories drives and NG had no 64-bit version, I thought (wrongly) that Win 7 teacher would allow me to run 32-bit sessions at the same time, or at least to switch back.   I bought the upgrade professional Express - no luck.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.  The laptop has 8 GB of memory.  (NG US Topo series offers topographic maps of the whole, as well as detailed maps of smaller areas, with the ability to print customized maps with different parameters.)  It was a substantial investment, and one I am reluctant to throw.  Yes, I could go buy a 32-bit computer, but that seems extravagant only to run a program.

Dear Sir

64-bit Windows is capable of running 32-bit programs and FYI if you have a product key for any architecture of windows, you can install a version that suits, but in this case you have 8 GB of RAM, so 64 bit is right for you.

Best choice is to go for a clean install of Windows 7 Professional (X 64), and then try to install your software.

Another test is right click on the .exe program then properties then compatibility then choose the configuration that you want to try.

Good luck.

    Hello

    Windows Vista does not include a 16-bit subsystem. So, you will not be able to run 16-bit applications on Windows Vista directly. However, you can install Virtual PC on your
    Vista computer and then you can install Windows XP on your virtual PC to run 16-bit applications.

    You can download Virtual PC for Vista from the link below:

    This is not quite accurate. 64-bit Windows 7 (which must be what you)
    have) does not 16-bit, but Windows 7 32 bit programs.

  • How to run a 32-bit program written in foxpro for windows (fpw26) under a window of 64 bit 7 or 8

    Original title: compatibility issue

    How to run a 32-bit program written in foxpro for windows (fpw26) under a window of 64 bit 7 or 8

    Thanks in advance

    32-bit programs work fine on 64 bit versions of Windows.  In fact, over 95% of the software that comes with the 64-bit Windows version is 32-bit, because there is no reason for re - programming software for upper bits when it would not net any performance gain.  Even Microsoft Office is 32-bit on a 64-bit computer.

    So to use a 32-bit program, just run it normally.  If there are failures, let us know what said failure.

    PS. the program may have other failures that are unrelated to the number of bits of the processor.  Try right click on the program and choose to resolve compatibility issues to try to fix it automatically.

  • I have Windows Vista 64 processors w/a & able to run 32-bit & 64-bit programs. How can I go about installing of some 32-bit programs?

    I have a Windows Vista Home Premium with a 64 processor. It is able to run 64-bit programs and 32-bit. It seems (wired) LOL, to run 64-bit programs. I understand that it saves space on the CPU?  I'm desperate to run the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player, but it will only work in 32-bit version of Windows Vista. Is it possible that I can get there?  I checked my system & under Internet Explorer 32-bit, the only programs are JAVA STANDARD VERSION 6, version 1.6.0. & Speech text... Is there anyway I can use my 32-bit version of Internet Explorer to run some programs that I can't run currently not using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?

    1. what happens when you try to install 32-bit programs?

    The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar, and in the x 64 Vista Start menu will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?

    There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "Programs" menu Why two and what is the difference?

    This is the title of each and they run exe:

    Internet Explorer
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.

    One runs IE in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second is the 64-bit version.

  • Re: Satellite T130 - can I run 32-bit Client VPN on Windows 64-bit?

    Just got my T130 yesterday but unfortunately realized, it is a machine that is 64-bit and all my corporate apps like VPN Client 32-bit (like all our Office Tools). Is it possible to run 32-bit on this platop mode please... ?

    Thank you for your support.

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. According to your VPN software it will maybe work on 64 bit OS because it s also able to handle 32-bit programs normally

    In your case I would try to install the software and then you can give us feedback: how it works. It would be interesting, and I think for other users. :)

    Good luck!
