Source of confused, between the header and the body of the post, as you ask your question.

Vista 32 bit OS will work on a computer that is capable of with Vista 64-bit OS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can install most 32-bit software on a Vista 64-bit operating system, with the notable exception being the anti-virus programs.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

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

  • ThinkVantage software for Vista 64 bit upgrade

    Hello

    I'm curious to know where I can find the Thinkvantage for Vista 64-bit software.  I bought my T61 with Vista Ultimate (32 bit) in 2007, but decided to downgrade to XP due to performance issues.  I have used XP for some time now and has recently purchased and upgraded to Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I've been downloading drivers from the Lenovo Web site, but I can't find the DVD software and some other applications.  Anyone know where I can go to find?  2 years ago, I have created the Vista recovery CD but I don't seem to be able to pull software out of it.  Anyone know where I can go to get the software miss me?

    BTW, yes I know that the original Vista Ultimate license includes 64 - bit.  I didn't know that until the after that I bought a new copy of the software.  I don't even know if Lenovo provides CDs upgrade to Vista 64-bit.

    DRM for your help.

    George

    The missing applications are only distributed in C:\SWTOOLS on the preload factory. Think that they will work in both Vista 32 and 64. If you do not save SWTOOLS 2 years ago, your only option is to install Vista 32 on a spare your recovery disk hard drive and copy it.

    I do not see a clean installation guide Lenovo T61, but here 's mine for Vista 32 on T500.

  • Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

    Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

    Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • How to install fixitcenter for vista 64-bit

    This show of error on the desktop:

    "fix installation Center has encountered an error.

    an unexpected error has occurred. Please close try to run Setup again later. »

    Please help me how I can solve and install this program.

    It is possible that the installation requires you to be connected to the internet and required to help with the installation page is currently unavailable.  All you can do is as it says, try again later (I cant get onto the version online because of a problem at the moment-so maybe it's the same problem that is causing your problem).

    You can try to download it again in the event that your initial download was bad.   Save it to your desktop.  Right-click on it and click on run as administrator (in case this is useful).  Make sure that you are connected to the internet when you are installing.  Here's a download site: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Microsoft-Fix-it-Center/1271432341/1.

    You realize that Microsoft Fix - it Online Center is still availalble and this program is not necessary unless you work in offline mode (and it may need to go online to help even in this case).  Troubleitcenter.support. Microsoft.com is also a beta product so there will be some bugs in which can lead to problems or do not work as it should - it may be better to wait until it is officially released - but it's up to you..

    For now, the error you have given (if accurate and complete) does not suggest a Vista problem, but a problem with the installer or the process.  Try the above, but basically be patient.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can you install Oracle 11 g 32 bit and 64 bit clients on the same machine AIX 6?

    We have a supplier who needs a 32-bit client on the application server which is AIX 6. We already have 11g 64 bit client installed there. So, we can install both or I am interested in a the first 64-bit client deinstall?

    Yes you can, please check the documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24334/toc.htm#CHDIGJJB

    From Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 (11.2), the client software 64-bit does contain the binary 32 bits client. If you need the 32-bit client binaries on 64-bit platforms, then install the 32-bit binaries from the 32-bit respective client software in a separate Oracle home.

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

    If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-

  • Can you install Windows XP Professional utility: Setup for floppy diskettes Boot Install on a flash drive?

    Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

    Can you install this on a USB flash drive, if you don't use no floppies? If you can, how?

    In addition to the above answer, even if your computer supports booting from a usb key, based on my experience, it is easier to use a cd rom. usb Flash drives can be very difficult to use to install windows. I did a couple of times but not without problems. If the computer you are using is able to boot at all, and you do not have a cd rom USB that you can try to install windows over the network.  Install windows from a flash drive is a long process. $30USD for a usb CD-ROM.
