Any way to run a 32bit exe in 64bit?

Hi guys I have an irritating problem here to do with GTR Evolution.

Simbin haven't sorted it out, and others are having the problem.

Can someone tell me if Windows 7 still has the 2GB process limit on x86 applications?

Problem ..



Basically everybody has to lower the graphics ingame to get the game running properly. This is most noticable when trying to turn the texture settings up.

Running with car filters stops the problem, but enabling filters (loading all ingame cars) (using much more ram) brings this error up, along with trying to push up the settings.

I had a comfortable settings configuration that I was using which was working fine with everything up to the Nordschleife (2nd largest ingame track)

Today I go to load up the largest track, and boom the error comes back, I've now had to reduce my settings even more, now the game looks like ****

I've yet to find a way to remove the 2GB limit in Windows 7, so was wondering if theres anyway to make this exe run under 64bit so that the limit wouldn't be there?

I've tried using a different C++ Redistribute version, different OS's, (Works in XP) but doesn't want to work under Vista or 7...

Any help?

Thanks
 
Not even working under Medium now :mad:

Gone over 1.75GB ram & Crash!

EDIT: Yep as soon as it hits around 1.7GB of ram usage the error arrives..

I'll have to play on low for a bit :eek: :(

EDIT 2: Scratch that, LOW looks horrendous, I'll play with filters off for a bit (hope it reduces ram enough)

Wow, THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK!

I'll try high :) *Preys* :eek:

:(

Medium it is.. (Hopefully) this track is a total ***** for ram!

Okay so it works @ Medium, Using 1.5GB ram, car filter off.

Yeah not sure why it was using that many,

Don't really have much installed on this system, its around a month old installation.

I have 46 processes running right now, wouldn't make any difference to my problem anyway

All I had running was Photoshop with its updater (nothing in it) + Paint.

Right now I have Firefox, Winamp, Task Man & Win Explorer, shouldn't really struggle at all. I have 6GB ram

This occurance was present when I had a Quad Core also.

Windows 7 doesnt really slow down with 60 processes, (Depending whether they're shit ones or not lol)

Windows 7 runs around 35-40 processes for me.

Vista runs 45-50.

It really only affects boot times, as most of those processes are idle.

Not really sure why yours would be so high in Win 7.

Btw, I couldn't run Steam games on my x64 install of Win 7 either.
