| | Windows 7 64-bit compatibility with 32-bit programs Thanks for any help. Program was written using Windows XP Pro on a 32-bit computer. It also runs on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. Person is having trouble running the program on a Windows 7 64-bit computer. What are my options to assist this person? Is there a compatibility mode in Windows7 64-bit to run 32-bit programs? What about a virtual box under these conditions? I don't own a 64-bit computer at this time  |

| | The same compatibility mode is available in Windows 7 x64, simply by right-clicking the shortcut for the program and choosing an older OS. The one big hurdle is if the app is a 16-bit program, or uses a 16-bit installer. |
