If you can run 32 bit, you can run 64 bit..

..I think. Thumbs Up

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

im running xp 64 pro. If you want to run, check ALL of your hardware being supported with 64bit drivers. Especially older peripheral equipment such as printer, webcam, scanner.... might have no driver support for 64bit XP.

Also check firewall and anti-virus programs.

Oh, and newest msn does not run on it. you need to downgrade to msn 8 Razz

It also helps if you have 64 bit compatible hardware, otherwise it won't even install, never mind work.

Annoyingly Vista lacks the ability to properly execute applications in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit system, but I believe there are some third-party applications that can do it for you.

BTW, every time you need to play a game on Vista, you need to right-click it and select 'Run as administrator'.

BTW, this is very bad advice. Most (99% of) games run just fine with reduced privileges, as they should. This *includes* Renegade. The only issue you may run into is a crash on startup because of retarded coding by Westwood. However, I created a launcher which fixes that specific bug when it's used to start the game.

That's the first I have heard of that one, do you have some examples of those third party applications? I tend to just run 32bit apps that won't work in Vista x64 in a virtual machine...
