Can't run 32bit program on 64bit windows 7

[Frank000]

Folks:

I need your help. I own a registered copy of FSHOTSFX program. I have this program runing very well, on 64bit windows xp pro .
But I have been unable to run it , since i migrated to 64bit windows 7 home premium edition. Unfortunately the program manufacturer does not offer support services anymore. The sad thing is that virtually all of my 32bit programs from way back to windows 98 are working well on 64bit windows 7.
You can download a free install copy of this program for testing here:http://fshotseat.com/dl/FSHSFXFull11.asp

Here is the error message i am getting when i open the program:

<< Fshotsfx failed to load properly. check the Fshotsfx.log file in the install directory. If you do not understand the error codes,email the log to [email protected]
Fshotsfx will end now..>>

then after clicking ok, I get the following message:

<< Run-time error '91': object variable or with block variable not set. >>

the after clicking ok, the program shuts down.
Thank you for your help.
Frank.

I'm not a gamer but this site might help you.
Runtime Error 91 - What is it and How to Fix

 

[Frank000]

Hi,
Thank you for the response. But it didnt help.

 

[pweegar]

Have you tried running this game under Windows XP compatibility mode???? IF that fails, you can try installing a virtual machine (vmware, virtualpc, virtual box) then load XP as a guest OS and see if it works that way.

Have you tried compatibility mode?

 

[Frank000]

Hi,
Thnak you for the response. Yes I did try to run it under windows xp sp2, compatibility mode on windows 7.
The program would start..then craches each time. Followed by the run-time error 91...message

 

[LiquidSnak]

Did you install using compatibility mode as well?

 

[Frank000]

Hi,
Yes..i did install under compatibility mode. Under " previous versions of windows ".
the install file is an MSI extension file.
Thnak you again...

 

[LiquidSnak]

Well, I think you might just have to wait for x64 support. You could try emailing the company, as well. That might let them know that it's needed (or at least by one more person)

 

[Frank000]

Ok,
thank you for your consideration and suggestions..
