Vista 64 Not Running 32-Bit Applications

Hyphen · Jun 21, 2009

Hi

If cannot run any 32bit aapplications then one suspect is malware and need to head over to the malware forum and follow the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and start thread in Malware forum with logs attached.

BUT first try the below

Did you install any new software before this happened? if so what, security applications and or Drivers are more what I'm thinking of.

Not come across 6B7 error though so what help does clicking the link do next to error in Windows Udpate?

Can you boot into Safe Mode ok and run 32bit apps?

But try this first before you go malware scanning, can you run System Restore? if so pick a restore point before this happened.
