64bits/32bits
« on: July 30, 2011, 12:00:14 PM »
I have a game that is not compatible with a 64-bits Windows (FSX).
There's a way to make it work anyway?

Thanks

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? If that doesn't work you may be out of luck

Yeah. Unfortunately it simply may not work for you. I had to revert to 32 bit because some old custom designed business apps simply would run under 64 bit.

You can Download Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC IF you have Win7-64bit Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate...not Home Premium.

If you have a legitimate XP install disk you can download VMware Player free and use that to make a virtual machine on which you can install XP. It's just as good as XP Mode, and some people say it's better.
