Can I run windows 7 64 bit in 32 bit

[CodeMinion]

i am trying to play a old game and it wont install cause it is not compatible with 64 bit windows.. any way i can get my OS to run in 32 bit so i can install this game

what version of windows 7 do you have ?, windows 7 pro and upwards has xp compatability mode you could try that if you have it, below pro doesnt have it.

I am sorry but you can't run 64 bit on 32 bit processors but you can run 32 on 64 bit processor.

Did you misread something?

so is there any way i can run a older game on a 64 bit system.. like i said when i try to run it it says incompatible

On a 64 bit machine you can troubleshoot the 32bit and get it to work but requires patience. after installing right click the exe file then troubleshoot compatibility . You may have to change many settings many times from here.

im using Windows 7 Pro. 'F1' for help. get some basic info 1st.
query 'troubleshoot compatibility' this will get ya familiar with what settings can be changed.

its another adventure and job. ive run into my problems with this in the past.

________________________________________

One thing though. ive never had it say not compatible. for me just just did not work and had to troubleshoot. if these ideas do not work you can call microsoft and get phone support.
also check www.support.microsoft.com phone number is there for calling.
good luck.........
