64-bit instead of 32 bit programs running program by default

I have a 64-bit of Windows 8. I'm just wondering if there is Any Way to launch has (primarily Windows program), let tell Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player 64-bit instead of 32 bits by Default Instead Of having to Open program files in the c: which is quite tedious.

I have other downloaded programs in A 64 bit Version which is why it always works in 64-bit Mode.

Any answer will appreciated.

    This is not quite accurate. 64-bit Windows 7 (which must be what you)

  • 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.

  • Why my windows 64-bit 8 running only 32-bit programs,

    I bought the computer only 5 months with Windows 7 x 64 HP, purchased Windows 8, for the price of offer 2 months ago and I noticed that all my programs run thirty-two versions of the thing,

    the reasons why? the copy of windows 8 is also a x 64 bit pro with media center edition

    Until the past two years, the 32 bit is all it was. There was some 64-bit machines, but not enough to make the penalty for software authors.

    The 32-bit programs will be running on a 64-bit computer, makes it also less urgent.

    64-bit programs may run a little faster in certain circumstances, but most of the time, you will notice little difference.

  • Compile 32-bit programs on the cDAQ RT Linux

    I have a (OR-9134) running Linux RT NI cDAQ

    I am unable to get it compile 32-bit programs. The steps I've done were:

    1 used "opkg" to install all the 'gcc', 'CPP', "gcc-symlinks", etc. - that I could see associated compilers.

    2 export CFLAGS = "-m32' export CXXFLAGS ="m32", export LDFLAGS = 'm32'"

    3 CFLAGS = "-m32". / configure

    However only 64-bit binary are generated.

    I'm unable to find through "opkg" all packages associated with 32-bit builds or anything related to 'multilib '. Could you get it someone please let me know how do NI Linux RT generate binary 32 bits?

    Looks like you are saying that you need a 32-bit library to work with 32-bit LabVIEW. However, LabVIEW on your target cDAQ is 64-bit, as all software on our basic objectives of Linux RT Atom (the ARM-based targets are 32-bit). So, if you want your HDF5 library to run on the target of the cDAQ to 64-bit, you must use a 64-bit version of HDF5. This is true even if you connect/deployment to the target of a 32-bit version of LabVIEW.

    Of course, if you want to run HDF5 on a 32-bit system, as a target of LabVIEW RT with ARM 32-bit processor, or LabVIEW RT older targets that use VxWorks or Phar Lap instead of Linux, or a 32-bit desktop machine running Windows or any other OS, you will need a 32-bit version of HDF5. But I would not recommend trying to build HDF5 for these environments of your cDAQ. I recommend compiling natively on the cDAQ, if you at all (*), for the code, you intend to run on the cDAQ.

    (*) You should be aware of this already, but you can cross - compile your HDF5 library using Eclipse, i.e. http://www.ni.com/download/labview-real-time-module-2014/4846/en/ - some people prefer this to the compilation on the target, which is a little limited resources.

Unfortunately it is not.  I was told so that you could change the version of the operating system, but I unfortunately can't remember where to find these settings.  I really need to be able to use this language program.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

    Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer?

    Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows running on a computer running 64-bit Windows versions. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs, and some hardware drivers.

    Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you try to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows. For information on updating drivers and troubleshooting issues with device drivers for 64 bit versions of Windows, contact the manufacturer of the device or program.

    I would be using a 64-bit computer?

    The benefits are more obvious when you have a large amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In this case, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently as a 32-bit, 64-bit operating system can be more responsive when you run several programs at once and switching between them frequently.

    If I am running a 64-bit version of Windows, I need 64-bit drivers for my devices?

    Yes. All devices devices need 64-bit drivers to work on a 64-bit version of Windows. Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running 64-bit Windows versions.

    To learn how to check for drivers, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly or go to the website of the manufacturer of the device. You can also get information about drivers by going to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor website.
