32bit application in 64bit
Hi Experts,
we have some old programs for 32bit system.
Now we switched to WIN7 64bit.
The old programs are not working anymore but I have to find a way to run these programs.
Do you know a way ?
Is it possible to use a virtual machine in WIN7 ?

You mean VT support for the CPU? That isn't needed for XP Mode (it was only needed with the first versions of XP mode, but now when you download XP mode you should have, I believe 3 files to download, and one of them is a patch that disables the need for VT mode.
But since you are using a 64bit capable PC it is quite likely your PC has that option.

Also, did you check your application with what the first poster suggested, to change the compatibility mode?
ASKER
change compatiblity mode is not working, I checked it several times
ASKER
can you give me the link to download the XP mode software for WIN7 Pro ?
If you check the 2nd Link which Hanccocka posted (the second message in the thread), there is a "Download" button in that Link, then you are sent to the download....
