    Help!!! Got a new computer. Now I cannot run my old software! They worked well on XP. I don't know what to do. Can't find updates. How do I get 32bit? Pop up message said to check my system info to see if I need 32 or 64 bit. I have 64 bit. Thanks. Rare.

    Hi

    What software is not running ok on your 64bit Vista PC? please name them.

    What you could try is to right click and choose Properties on the shortcut to the application and then click the Compatability tab and choose from the dropdown XP SP2 or SP3 and see if that allow the application to run.
