• 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!

• How to solve (can't run 16-bit windows) Windows vista.thanks in advance

  try to load a legacy program that requires Windows 3.1

  Hello

  Windows Vista does not include a 16-bit subsystem. You will not be able to run 16-bit applications on Windows Vista directly.

  You can check if the program works in Windows XP compatibility mode.

  Make older programs in this version of Windows

  If you use Windows Vista business, Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows Vista Edition integral, you can try to install Virtual PC 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:
  Download the full version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

  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.

  Hello buddd, welcome.

  If the application is fully 32-bit and not actually from 16 - bit, you will be able to run it. In addition, there is XP mode for Windows 7 Professional and higher editions. Have a look here:

• Can I run windows bit defender with Norton 360? »

  Please let me know how to disable bit defender if the answer is no, I can't do it.

  It have BitDefender and Windows Defender.

  And you can't uninstall Windows Defender from Vista. It is part of theVista operating system.

  If you use BitDefender, it's an anti-virus program; Windows Defender is an Anti-Spyware program that is installed with the Vista operating system.

  And you shouldn't have 2 anti-virus installed/does work at the same time.
  If you do, it may cause blockages of the system, etc.

  If you only use Windows Defender (and not BitDefender), here is a link to the Forums of Norton re some of the problems encountered with the combination

• How can I run the malicious software removal tool?

  My apologies in advance if this seems trivial, but all the articles I have read on the forums refer to download (easy bit) and run the MSRT tool, but are rare on how to actually run it. Or if it runs automatically as part of Windows Defender?  I'm sure the answer will be obvious, but for now I'm stuck! Any help is appreciated. Thank you. JOCK McSQUIGGLE

  It's nothing to do with Windows Defender.

  It is a completely separate program.

  Perl (CGI) scripts are not used much more.

  PHP is most widely used on Linux servers.

  ASP or ASP.net is the language of programming available on Windows servers, but sometimes they support PHP, too.

  Some hosts have to e-mail form scripts that you can use that are already installed on the server.

  Some others like GoDaddy (not my favorite) allow you to use scripts third 3rd on shared hosting accounts.

  Find a host of good reputation. Ask them which scripts, you can use. From there...

  32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions

  Here are answers to some common questions about the 32-bit versions and 64-bit Windows.

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

  Most of the programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows works on 64-bit Windows version. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.

  Device 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. If you don't know if there is a 64-bit driver available for your device, go online to the Vista Compatibility Center"" href = "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=142444" > Windows Vista Compatibility Center

• When I click on 'Run 64-bit DxDiag' the DxDiag tool closes.

  Original title: DxDiag 64 bit problem

  How can I run 64-bit dxdiag?  I tried opening dxdiag & clicking on the 'Run 64-bit DxDiag' button on the bottom, but it doesn't close the window.  What I am doing wrong?

  Hello
   
  Method 1.
  When you click on run 64-bit DxDiag it minimizes the window. But it performs the test and you can click next page to view the errors.
  If the page closes directly can be a third-party application is causing the conflict. Let us check if the problem exists in the boot. See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

• How can I run a 32 bit support software on windows 7 64-bit OS?

  I want to run the software Microwind 3.1 lite on my windows 7professional 64-bit operating system. But it is not compatible with the version of windows. It works fine on 32 bit OS W7. Is it possible to run on the 64-bit platform?

  I'm curious to know regarding if it can be a 16-bit program (which works a lot on 32-bit operating systems, but not on 64). Have seen no info on Microwind website.

  Try the Compatibility Mode with the option of Windows XP. You can also try the XP Mode, which is a virtual machine that is running Windows XP 32-bit. Furthermore, VirtualBox or another virtual machine software would work.

• 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.
