sort to do 32-bit works in 64

Probably a silly question but here goes... Is it possible to my 32-bit games run in a 64 bit system?

Zeznar,
If the games are old it could be any more a problem of compatibility with the version of the OS and not that it is 64 bit.  (Cannot run a game BACK on Windows 7).  Here are some links that may be useful for you.

    Hello

    32-bit to 64-bit is never a way of upgrading; It must be done with a clean install.

    And before you buy Windows 7, you would like to read this information:

    Go to the HP website and check if Windows 7 drivers (32-bit or 64-bit) are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  • Theme Hospital, set of 16 bits works is not on Windows 7 64 bit

    coupl'a day there, I tried inttalling one of my favorite games ever hospital theme but is a set of 16 bits and I have a 64 bit system could there be an update for win 7 64-bit to fix this quite annoying version of windows or not?

    PS just wonderin

    You cannot run 16-bit applications on a 64-bit system. Try dosbox (www.dosbox.com), a program of emulator BACK (32-bit = works on x 64), version 0.73 is compatible with Theme Hospital (1997).

    There is nothing to blame "this quite annoying version of windows. Some older programs require direct access to material which is prohibited on modern systems, some require drivers that do not work on 64-bit. Backward compatibility to the stone age could be achieved with a lot of programming but no 64-bit OS do that (not just Windows), because the affected applications are too few and mostly out of use.

  • Drivers Vista 32-bit works on XP 32 bit?

    I got this HP model a6544f since a few months now and find that much too much my older hardware (scanner, etc.) and 16-bit software (which I use daily) simply does not work with Vista or a 64-bit OS. I prefer to use XP 32-bit where all happy lives on my old machine. But the driver for this system only specifies Vista 32 - bit or 64 - bit. I already added a "real" video card to get digital and put output at power level to manage this card. If necessary, I suppose I could live with the 32-bit version of Vista, but would really prefer to use XP. (I think of all the "improvements" in Vista as nothing else that candies for the eyes, and you have disabled as many of them as possible anyway.)

    Does anyone know if Vista drivers 32 - bt for different systems of motherboard will install on XP 32 bit? It will make you life easier if they do!

    Thank you

    Motherboards are circuit boards, which don't require drivers.  Components (i.e. the device IC) soldered to the circuit require drivers.  They are made by the respective device providers. for example peripheral chips done Intel Intel, NVIDIA is peripheral chips NVIDIA, Realtek is peripheral chips Realtek, so on and so immediately.

    And no, HP does not motherboards.  Even if it did, nothing would change, he wouldn't have the IC device used on the motherboard.  HP gets the device drivers to the sellers of the device, as everyone (including the motherboard manufacturers).

    That said, you should have no problem getting the current XP drivers.  All devices in this system are suppliers that make drivers available to the public.  There are some sellers who don't release drivers for the public, like Atheros, Analog Devices, Broadcom (only for wireless cards), Sigmatel (IDT) and a few others, but your system does not all devices from these suppliers.

    You are using a PCI-E graphics card so the drivers are not necessary for the graphics card Intel integrated, which is automatically disabled when you use the PCI-E x 16 graphics card.  FireWire and USB controller drivers are now provided by Microsoft for OS later to Windows XP SP1, make sure you get those through the operating system, service packs or Windows Update.

    To answer your original question, some driver packages can support Vista and Windows XP.  For example, I downloaded a driver Atheros WiFi Dell's who did the support for Windows Vista.  But when I extracted the driver files, it contained drivers, and other files required for both Vista and XP, but the real drivers for Vista are not compatible with Windows XP.

    Hello

    I've never heard of a Toshiba laptop that is supported by Windows XP 64-bit. That's why Windows XP 64-bit was not so popular, and the driver support wasn t so good.
    Also, I checked the Web from Toshiba site and there is no XP 64 bit drivers available.

    You can try to install but need to look for the drivers by yourself. You might find working drivers.

  • Registration key for XP Pro 32 bit works on XP Pro 64 bit?

    I just bought the version upgrade Win8 Pro and had installed XP Pro 32-bit. So the upgrade of the disk only let upgrade me to the 32-bit version of Win8.

  • ReadyBoost Windows 7 Pro 64 bit works only not with the reader flash 32 GB USB high speed...

    Hello

    I did what I could find in support.microsoft.com search/read them all using ReadyBoost on my Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, because he seemed much more cost-effective to install a properly sized USB key from the bombings of hundreds of dollars to replace and modernize the planks of installed RAM, I, 4x2Gb @ 1066

    My basic material is:

    Intel i7 920 CPU using Gigabyte EX58 - UD3R-MOBO with 8 GB of RAM installed 1066.

    According to the info I've read ReadyBoost, the ratio is 4:1 for the size of the Flash drive compared to installed RAM or, in my case, a 32 GB USB device.

    I had the OCZ Rally2 32 GB because it tested faster about 30 GB Read and 5 to 10 MB write.

    When I go to activate the USB 32 GB for ReadyBoost flash drive, I get the "impossible... to use this device to ReadyBoost...". "error message.

    TWO QUESTIONS:

    1 knowing that my USB 32 GB current is at a speed of 31 GB read/6-10 MB write and can be replaced if necessary:

    a. y at - it a necessary range of recommended read/write speed?

    2. further, saying: the range of tested USB disk read/write speed are correct or I will get a correct drive 32 GB and with 8 GB of RAM currently installed.

    b is it? or what is the advantage in any computer processing speed using a 32 Gb USB flash drive when it is 8 GB of RAM installed (knowing that a replacement/upgrade RAM is off-budget for the foreseeable future)?

    Finally, I pass first OCZ support but received no conclusive answers.

    1st answer to yesterday 20:11

    Win7 is limited to 32 GB size by device for ReadyBoost. I've seen this problem before when the USB key is at the maximum limit. Never seen a work around so.

    AND, more interesting for me, 2nd answer:
    Today 02:37

    Few people I know with this problem that I've never heard of a solution. I don't know anyone who devoted a lot of effort as with 8 GB of memory system is not a necessity for ReadyBoost so they just moved.

    NOTE: The support guess I are underutilizing the 8 GB of RAM installed. In fact, due to the needs work I will typically have anywhere for applications and utilities operating at 20-35 someone time, using 4-6 GB of RAM at peak use.
    Ideas?  Suggestions?
    Thank you.
    John

    Hi John,.

    A flash drive may appear to meet the requirements, but Windows may detects it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.

    Look for a note from the manufacturer that the flash player is Compatible Windows ReadyBoost. Not all manufacturers of this list on their packaging.

    You can check with another flash drive

    Answering your questions

    a. speed for Windows ReadyBoost requirements are at least 2.5 MB per second throughput for random readings of 4 kilobytes (KB) and 1.75 MB per second throughput for 512 k random entries.

    Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer

    (Article is for Windows 7)

    b. ReadyBoost acts as a cache of HARD disc (hard drive) and is not a replacement for direct system memory. It will not improve processing speed, but will help the launch of faster applications and push background applications that serve much in memory reserved ReadyBoost.

    For more information, please visit the links below

    Turn ReadyBoost on or off for a storage device

  • Problems printing L7590 (Vista 64-bit); works perfectly on XP Pro SP3

    Hi all

    New L7590 on Vista 64 bit on HP Pavilion A6720F has problems.  When I print a page to test simple (or something else), she prints about half the page and prints then completed three pages, each with one or two lines of strange characters at the top (small faces, @ signs, hearts, call you).  Meanwhile, the computer makes that sound that you hear when you connect a new USB device about 4 to 7 times.  It also provides that the sound when you copy just a document, but it works.

    I have attached the printer from the box of my XP Pro SP3 and it printed as a champion of CorelDraw and Adobe Acrobat Pro, in addition to a good one to test page printing.  None of these USB connection sounds were heard.

    ideas?

    The problem is not with the printer!  It is with the Pavilion/Vista 64 operating system.  HP Pavilion support solves the problem.  HP OfficeJet does not know how to solve the problem.  Here is the address that they realized that me and once the drivers have loaded issue resolved.  http://www.NVIDIA.com/Object/nforce_vista64_15.24.html good luck.

    By clicking on "Sort by name" has no effect. No sorting occurs.

  • Office sort by name DOES NOT WORK! By selecting once must rank in alphabetical order (you know A TO Z!) Selecting again should sort in reverse alphabetical order - PERIOD!

    (2) choose "sort by name".

    (3) try to understand new interpretation of what Microsoft of 'Alphabetical order' means!

    I jumped through all the "hoops" that Microsoft requires to submit this issue, as all other users here.  I have faithfully install all blessed Windows updates.  Yet, there is no solution.  This issue causes me to serioulsly are wary of what makes Windows 7 to correctly reflect my intelligence to others by running other applications developed by Microsoft.  I am running Windows 7 Professional, and the Virtual Machine XP always knows her alphabet!  Should I buy Windows 7 Ultimate for "Enjoy" the function of sorting in alphabetical order?    REALLY!  It is a legitimate problem - GET the number of POSITIONS!  After having examined them, if Microsoft still believes that there are really that many stupid people here, then fine.  Just fix it in the next update of Windows 7, and all of us, "stupid" people will at least "happy fools!
