    Hi

    Not n easy one to answer as the majority of applications will work in Vista 32bit, however some applications need to be specifically 64bit compatible, so best advice if to check the developers homepage and see if they mention that they have a 64bit version available for maximum compatability.

    Also try the applications you want as many will work ok as Vista 64bit has compatability folders especially for this as in your C directory you will se two Program files folders one names (x86) this is where 32bit applications get installed, these are not true 64bit but work fine.

    I use 64bit OS and not found many applicationsthat dont work ok, bit of trial and error, plus some checking as I mentioned at the developers homepage.
