  I have a Windows Vista Home Premium with a 64 processor. It is able to run 64-bit programs and 32-bit. It seems (wired) LOL, to run 64-bit programs. I understand that it saves space on the CPU?  I'm desperate to run the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player, but it will only work in 32-bit version of Windows Vista. Is it possible that I can get there?  I checked my system & under Internet Explorer 32-bit, the only programs are JAVA STANDARD VERSION 6, version 1.6.0. & Speech text... Is there anyway I can use my 32-bit version of Internet Explorer to run some programs that I can't run currently not using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?

  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.

• How to run 32-bit programs on 64-bit computer

  I have an old 32-bit program and I want to install on my new hard drive that is running 64-bit

• 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!

• Running 32-bit executables on 64-bit operating system fails

  I'm trying to run a test program compiled on a 32-bit Labview (Labview 2011 running in Windows XP) on a 64-bit Windows 7 environment Home premium.

  When I open this application, it performs some actions, but there is no accumulation of front panel and then it just stop respond (there is activity Central 100%).

  Applications only use a USB-6009 module of NOR to collect data and change some faucets (what he does during the initialization of the program, so it seems to be OK).

  Does anyone have experience with this problem?

  Thank you in advance.

  Best regards.

  You can download the latest driver (OR-DAQmx 9.6.1) from here. I recommend having the latest version of the driver.

  Basic troubleshooting:

  You have the labview Run-Time Engine installed?

  Is there an error message?

  The program appears at all? What in the Task Manager/processes?

• 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:

• 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.

  This is a misleading message. The Tablet Surface RT can run regular Windows, 16-bit, 32-bit or 64-bit programs, more than an Android tablet. The Tablet Surface RT is identical to an advanced Android Tablet architechturally but running a version specially made for Windows.
