How do you run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer?

It is impossible to run 64 bit applications on a 32 bit based system. You can upgrade to a 64 bit version of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7... unless you use a Virtual Machine to run a 64 bit OS. Note that this could be very bad to use if your computer is physically not capable of running a 64 bit OS.

∙ 14y agoYou buy a 64 bit processor or a 64 bit machine so you can run 64 bit programs! Otherwise, you look for an emulator. That would be a program that uses a section of memory to act as a processor. It would need to take a number of steps for each step that a 64 bit machine would take to do the same thing. It takes a 64 bit instruction and breaks it in half. Then it sends it to the CPU. It Takes a 64 piece bit of data in half and sends it to the CPU. It stores the partial answers. This goes on and on until everything is sorted out to complete one instruction. As a result, emulators run extremely slow. If you have one program that you need to run once a month, then an emulator could be the way to go. Otherwise, You need to upgrade.

Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you're trying 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.
Keep in mind "Windows 7 Pro" arrives in both 32 and 64-bit.
