• Running a program designed for x 32 bit machine Windows XP x 64

  Hello

  I try to run a program designed for Windows 32-bit on a 64 bit machine x x. I installed the program and moved the directories in the directory Program Files (x 64) in the regular Program Files directory - it's where shortcuts have been pointing.

  When I run the program I get an error message "" an unhandled win32 exception occurred in "PROGRAM NAME" ". Is there a way I can run this program on this machine?

  Good reading this forum:

  If it takes you get launched, you can probably get a 32-bit virtual machine running.

• If I switch to windows 7, I'll beable to run a program 16-bit legacy that was designed for windows XP?

  If I switch to windows 7, I'll beable to run a program 16-bit legacy that was designed for windows XP?

  There are a number of variables here.  First of all if you go to the 64 bit version of Windows 7, you will not be able to run 16-bit programs in normal mode.  However, if you go to the professional version of Windows 7, you can install the free XP Mode and run 16-bit programs under that.  XP mode runs as a task under Windows 7.  It works fine as long as you can live with the limited graphics.  I have 900 x 600 16-bit color at home.

  If you go with the 32-bit version of Windows, you might be able to run your 16-bit program in compatibility mode.  It depends of course is the compatibility with Windows 7.  Some work and some aren't.  The limitation with the 32-bit version is that it supports more than 4 GB of RAM.

  Good luck.

  Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

  You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

  (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
  To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
  http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
   
   
  (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
  Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:

  After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:

  2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
  3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
  4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
  5 continue with the installation.
     
   
   
  First of all please note:
  1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
  2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
  3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
  4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
  (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
  (B) install it on a spare computer.
