    You can install using Compatibility Mode. I'm assuming that you have a version that runs under Windows XP SP3 32bit.

    it should just work with no problems.

    64-bit windows runs 32-bit software seamlessly - it only has trouble with legacy 16-bit stuff.

    most software is still 32-bit, and if windows x64 couldn't run it, it wouldn't be much use as an operating system.

    have you actually tried installing it yet?

    Sorry jc836

    It appears this is a 16 bit version.

    16bit software will not work on a 64bit OS at all.
