Vista 64-bit - 32-bit downgrade

I have my software work that they won't change for Vista 64-bit, only running Vista 32 bit, my laptop is practically useless, how can I downgrade from Vista 32 bit to run this program?  What are the negative implications of decommissioning?

You will need to buy a COMPLETE Vista 32 bit Operating System Disk/license and do a clean install of it.

Save all data that the HD will be wiped clean during installation.

There is NOT a downgrade; It's a completely different operating system.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  • Vista 64-bit for XP Professional downgrade

    I have problems to run a number of games on the Vista 64 Bit OS, so decided to buy and run a clean installation of XP Professional. I have run the XP installation, but tells me that I don't have install disks (they work fine under Vista!). I have a 500GB SCSI hard drive and a pair of RAID HDs. If I choose the option to manually select a driver installation disk loads loads many SCSI drivers, but can not find mine (Microsoft iSCSI, band of NVIDIA and SAMSUNG HD502IJ hard drive) and because I have no floppy drive in my system, the installation will stop.

    Y at - it an easy way to install XP and the problem of hard disk, what can I do?

    Hi Jonathan

    You'll need to try to locate the SCSI or RAID drivers for your Raid Controller for XP and then during the initial start of XP, you press F6 when you are prompted to load additional drivers.

  • Satellite A300 - need drivers for Vista 64 bit

    Hi all

    I have the satellite A300 (PSAGOS - 03401C), I did a fresh install of Vista 64-bit, but unable to find the drivers for the device. Research on Toshiba driver support has not been successful.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you

    Hi married,

    Satellite A300 PSAG0S unknown to me, but on the European page, I created a similar model, PSAG0E. But the problem is that there is no drivers for Vista 64-bit, so I tried a Windows 7 64 bit and here I could found the more pilots. Normally, Windows 7 drivers should also work, they are compatible to Windows Vista downgrade.

  • Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

    I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
    You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.
  • I have Windows Vista 64 bit, but I need to use a 32-bit software

    I have a new computer with Windows Vista 64-bit and I need to use a program he wrote in 32 bits. The computer maker refused to get off my computer to Windows Vista 32 bit. They offered me to return my new computer (keep restocking fees) and buy an older version of the computer that is also 64-bit, but they are allowed to downgrade it. This 32-bit software is vital for me and now I'm stuck with this useless computer.

      Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer?
     

    Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows running on a computer running 64-bit Windows versions. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs, and some hardware drivers.

    Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you try to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't know if there is a 64-bit driver available for your device, go online to the Vista Compatibility Center"" href = "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=142444" > Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  • Can we install windows vista 32 bit OS on a computer that is pre installed with windows 7 64-bit OS?

    Can we install windows vista 32 bit OS on a computer that is pre installed with windows 7 64-bit OS?

    @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.
  • ThinkVantage software for Vista 64 bit upgrade

    Hello

    I'm curious to know where I can find the Thinkvantage for Vista 64-bit software.  I bought my T61 with Vista Ultimate (32 bit) in 2007, but decided to downgrade to XP due to performance issues.  I have used XP for some time now and has recently purchased and upgraded to Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I've been downloading drivers from the Lenovo Web site, but I can't find the DVD software and some other applications.  Anyone know where I can go to find?  2 years ago, I have created the Vista recovery CD but I don't seem to be able to pull software out of it.  Anyone know where I can go to get the software miss me?

    BTW, yes I know that the original Vista Ultimate license includes 64 - bit.  I didn't know that until the after that I bought a new copy of the software.  I don't even know if Lenovo provides CDs upgrade to Vista 64-bit.

    DRM for your help.

    George

    The missing applications are only distributed in C:\SWTOOLS on the preload factory. Think that they will work in both Vista 32 and 64. If you do not save SWTOOLS 2 years ago, your only option is to install Vista 32 on a spare your recovery disk hard drive and copy it.

    I do not see a clean installation guide Lenovo T61, but here 's mine for Vista 32 on T500.

  • Windows Vista 64 bit does not install last version of iTunes

    I just updated my iPhone, the recent phone must have the latest version of iTunes installed, I currently have 12.3 but I'm unable to download the latest version, I have Windows Vista 64-bit on my desktop, can anyone help?

    I don't think that Vista will support the latest version of iTunes, which is necessary for the latest version of iOS. I will check something quick and get back to you. What iPhone do you have? What happens when you try to download the latest version?

  • Vista 64-bit and D7360

    My Vista 64 bit laptop computer connects to my LAN via a wireless router.  My printer is connected to the USB port on my router.  My computer laptop 32 bit Vista print on my printer as expected.  My new laptop 64 bit will not print.  It goes into the print queue and just stays there.  If I connect my portable 64-bit on my printer via a USB cable, it will print.  What it will take to print when connected wireless to my local network?

    Did you mean that the machine is connected to the router via USB? What kind of router is it and a USB device on the router is treated like a network or USB device?

    I guess that it is treated as a network device. Installation of D7360 asks if the unit is placed on local (USB) or network, if the USB was chosen first, the SAME connection through network does not work. You need to reinstall the driver (or if you know pilots, you mangle via the reguistry). By the fact that you can print via direct USB, I think the easy way is to uninstall the driver (not just delete the printer) and install it again as a network device.

    Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
    Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
    You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
    This should disable the AutoPlay option.
    Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

    Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.
