PowerPrep application is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit

I am currently studying for the GRE and the website includes a study great tool/application called PowerPrep or something like that. I downloaded it and it says it is compatible with Windows Vista 32-bit, I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista 64-bit and when I go to start a program I get the error message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running check system information from your computer to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program" is anyway to run the program with my computer. I thought that 64-bit is technically compatible with 32 - bit, but I don't know much about computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

"Most programs designed for 32-bit version of Windows works on the 64 bit version of Windows. 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. »

always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator

It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode

This does not work for all programs

  • LaserJet p2015 is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit

    I just got a new computer with Windows Vista 64-bit operating system.  I tried to connect my HP Laserjet P2015 printer, but it was not recognized.  In addition, the computer does not recognize the CD supplied with the printer.  Download the necessary software on this site?  I can't seem to find it on mine, and I am a novice when it comes to computers.  Any help out there?  see you soon

    Go to Support & drivers above.  Click on drivers.  Enter the model number of your printer.  A list of drivers should appear.  IF Windows Vista 64 bit is listed, click on that and you should be on your way.  BUT be aware that not all older printers are compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit.  I have a HP Scanjet 4470c which is not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit on my new HP computer.  So I have a HP Scanner perfectly although I can't use and this Scanner is not that old.  Good luck!

  • Tecra S2: BIOS 1.3 is not compatible with Windows Vista

    I just bought Windows Vist Ultimate and I tried to install it on my tecra laptop S3 and it said that I had to update my bios. so I've upgraded to the latest version on the toshiba site (v1.3), but I got the same message please provide an upgrade of the bios that is compatible for my computer vista laptop or provide where I can find the update.

    Hello

    Pilot site Toshiba says that the 1.3 BIOS Tecra S2 was released on 06/19/2006
    It seems that it s not a final version of Vista and therefore it s is not compatible with Vista.

    Unfortunately, everything that you expect the Vista installation until the new version of the BIOS is available.

  • Program, managing your money get the version of the file is not compatible with Windows Vista

    I'm trying to run an old program, manage his money, on Vista Home Premium 64 - bit. It ran OK on Win XP. When I try to run the setup.exe, I get error - "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows hou are running." I tried to use the program compatibility Wizard. No help. Same mistake. Anything else I can try?

    If you get this error and the Compatibility Mode doesn't help, then the program simply is not compatible with this version of Vista, and if you want the program, you will need to check with the manufacturer to see if they make a full install version which is compatible with Vista and buy the program more recent.  If they do not have such a version, then I'm afraid you're just out of luck with this program.  The only other option MIGHT be Virtual PC, but even that is not a guarantee and is a little extreme just to get an old program running.

    Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.

    Good luck!

  • Tecra M5 BIOS is not compatible with Windows Vista

    Hello, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft, and he pointed out that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am running version 1.7 - the most recent available I think. Toshiba will release a version that will be compatible with Vista, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?

    I forgot to mention that the machine is a M5 UK (PTM51E)
    Thank you very much

    David

    Hello

    I guess Tecra M5 Vista capable label. Am I wrong?

    I know for each unit of Vista, laptop manufacturer will offer the proper BIOS version, as well as drivers, tools and utilities.

    In short time Vista will be placed on the market and after the official launch, all this kind of stuff should be available on download page.
