How to make Vista run as 32-bit 64 - bit?

Hello... I was just downloading the games and one of them gave me a message that he attested, I was running 64-bit Vista (Home Premium) and the game may not work correctly. Then he said that if I had problems I could verify that my documentation and make the computer run as if it were 32-bit. He then asked if I wanted to continue with the installation, that I made, and installed the game. I have not tried to run the game, but my question is to make the computer run like 32-bit: is - this complicated (I used a level of basic knowledge)? I can do it JUST for the games, or it will change my computer everything? Should I do it?
A second question is: we have to treat this whole compatibility issue, once again, with the new Windows 7? I had barely become accustomed to XP!

Hello Debtittle,

I worry too much having 64 run as 32-bit.  All the 64 bit version of Windows, run 32-bit programs very well.  all 32-bit programs will work on 64-bit and 32-bit programs.  the 64-bit versions of operating systems were mainly created to solve the problems of the amounts of maximum ram limit (it is an extreme simplification).
Regarding compatibility, as long as you are not trying to play a game or a program of the Win2000 or prior eras, then you shouldn't have too many problems. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

    Hello

    I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

    In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

    Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello

    Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

    I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

    I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

  • How can I CS6 run in 64-bit?

    Hi all

    I would appreciate your help.

    On my MAC, I have a 64-bit CS6 facility and also a number of plugins. I noticed that, despite the use of RAM max layout (16 GB is available) Photoshop ever uses more than 3 GB and begins to share and use all virtual memory instead. If I have the feeling that they are running in 32-bit mode...

    Who knows how I can force it works in 64-bit and what troubleshooting steps should I perform?

    Thank you very much!

    My mistake. This option was for CS5 which took 32 or 64 bit.

    CS6 is completely 64-bit and will not have this option.

    My other thought should launch Photoshop CS6 with disabled plugins.

    Hold down the shift keys to start Photoshop, and then with Photoshop open, check the preferences > Performance to see if memory is still limited to 3 GB.

  • How to make Vista use less RAM?

    OK, here's the deal... I got this computer from October 17, 2008. RAM is juicy until the past few days. I started noticing almost ALL the time my OS uses a total of 75 to 86% of RAM. It does not reflect the performance.

    Also, the Windows Task Manager says I on 65 running processes. I show processes from all users, and I can't just equal up to 800 megabytes.

    My computer has 1 gigabyte but reads 980Mb. So my question, how is using up to 86% during normal operations, while I'm only about calculate 56% use?

    OK, gotcha now. Looks like that you see right SuperFetch works like it's supposed to... "SuperFetch is trying its best to use as much RAM as possible, because if you have it you could thus make use." ;-) William Keener | Blog

  • How to install and run on 64-bit windows8 oracle forms?

    Hi all

    I am a newbie in Oracle forms and I want to install oracle forms in my laptop with the aim of learning and training.

    I tried installing Oracle forms 10 g 2, but am not able to run the forms because I'm stuck at the frm-92101 error which I am not able to delete even after many changes made to the formsweb.cfg file (as suggested by the bias on the internet). Recently I learned that this version of forms is not certified (or compatible, I suppose) with windows 8.

    So I would ask all the people of genius out there that what should be the version of things so that they work on windiws8 64-bit following:

    (a) in oracle forms

    (b) jinitiator

    (c) java

    (d) browser(preferably firefox)

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey guys!

Although I attaching me the corresponding libraries but some how it created a problem. Once I replaced it with the built in 'SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('Block.Item',Enabled,Property_true/false)' in my entire form, the error disappeared

  • How to make Vista icons?

    The question may seem semi-noobish just in his nature, but I used Photoshop and similar programs for the last 3 years of my life (I have just 17) and know my way well enough to work. I tried to make an icon for Vista (in fact Windows 7 RC, but it uses the same guidelines) and simply cannot operate. I have my icon made in a size of 256 x 256 and saved in .png. I have change the .xml file for my library that I want to the icon to go, but he simply modifies the default folder icon. XML coding is good, location is OK, so it should be in how I made the icon.

    Now, I know that the default icon in the 'Vista guides' requires 256 x 256 and 11 other sizes; I thought it would just reduce automatically. I resize the icon manually in separate layers or what?

    And I apologize if it's in the wrong place or this has been answered. I searched the internet for at least 30 minutes, searched this forum slightly and came up empty. Also sorry if this sounds more like a Windows problem rather than a question of Photoshop, but usually enter a Windows forum and request that you will have a bunch of garbage, because they may or may not have experience of making icons.

    P.S. The PNG is not interlaced; should not make a difference, but I'm trying to cover all the little details.

  • How to make Vista Explorer/folder look like XP Explorer/folder

    I love my XP machines. I tried a Vista machine a few times, but could not stand his fanciness. I just bought a new laptop. Vista is the only option for the new laptops at Best Buy and Dell. So now I'm stuck with Vista. I changed the interface classic Windows, removed the sidebar, added all the icons on the desktop, like XP. However, I can't find a way to change the Explorer and folder in the XP-like Explorer and folder.

    For everything that Vista offers that I am not fancy, style Vista Explorer and folder structure are the only thing I absolutely can't stand. It makes me dizzy, it moves with the mouse - to above, there is no button to the TOP, the look of crowded folders (not clear from who's who a subfolders). Please, help me find a way to restore the folder from Vista to XP structure. Otherwise, I have to rebuild a new laptop to use XP, and I don't want to do if I have an easier choice.

    Thank you!!

    Hello XP user,.

    Thank you for posting.  There is no way to get Explorer from Vista to have the folder structure of the Explorer in XP that you are interested in using the features and tools in Vista.  You maybe able to do it with the 3rd party tools and/or applications.

The purpose of my installer has been putting it on several computers. So I tried to do it on another computer that has Vista 32 bit and he told me that the installer cannot run on 64-bit computers.
