Hey fellows i have just switched to windows 7 64 bit os few days ago.
Now i am facing problems while installing programs that i was using earlier on 32 bit version of win7.
Can you please help me out.
I would appreciate if you guys provide me direct download links to some kind of simulator/emulator kind of software which can make all the 32 bit programs run on 64 bit version.:)

If you're running a genuine copy of Win 7 then get the XP mode,install it.This is the easiest method because it basically makes every 32-bit program run as if it on XP.
theres no other way then..@saurabhreigns (175)

64 is faster. Programs written for a 64bit system will be right at home on win7 and with a fast computer you are laughing.
Some software needs 32 bit, some software written for win xp needs win xp to work properly etc.
One solution is to have a dual boot system. One hard drive for win7 32bit and one for win7 64bit.
That is all I can offer as a solution for the present.
