32-bit OS on a 64-bit system

All,
I am considering getting a new comptuer. I have found a refurb Gateway
http://www.microcenter.com/single_produ … id=0263686. My question is this: It's a 64-bit processor so will the 32-bit version of Arch run on it? I realize I may not be able to take advantage of all the 64bit optimizations, but it should run right? Thanks.

I only wanted to explain that there is more than x86_64 in 64-bit world, without suggesting PA-RISC at home.
However DEC Alphas can be found in some enthusiasts homes.
Oh, I understand, and I think it's good information, but when it really comes down to it you've got to ask yourself what the chances of any random, average, desktop computer user asking about 64bit having/inquiring about anything other than x86_64. With those processors becoming the mainstream and most widely used in any desktop built/bought today, it's not too much of a shot in the dark to assume this.
Any user who's going to know such things in enough detail to fully understand the differences between the basic x86_64 and others isn't going to be asking about them to begin with. But again, good information...

TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

BUG: Apple Software Update installs 32-bit iTunes 8 on 64-bit Systems

Hi, all! Jon here. Just wanted to point out that when Apple Software Update updated my iTunes from 7 to 8, it installed the 32-bit version on my 64-bit OS, and so when it finished and I opened up iTunes, I got a message that it wasn't compatible with my operating system, and therefore I had to go to Apple's website and download iTunes again myself. I think ASU should check to see which operating system the user is using and download the correct program accordingly.

Due to our operating system we only have 32 bit, purchased lightroom 6 and download cancelled as says needs 64 bit, is there a 32 bit version i can get, otherwise need money back

thanks for that, but having tried the various options, still not managed to organize a refund, or anything for that matter, been on hold now for 25 minutes, first time was for 17 minutes, spoke to someone who was putting me thorough, to then have automated message saying issue could not be dealt with and it then hung up! been on to live chat and this was posted: -

Which would be funny if i havent already spent 3 1/2 hours trying to sort this. I am really not enjoying my adobe experience, never known such a difficult company to speak to a 'live' person. Now on hold for 29 minutes and need to go out so nothing to be done now until tomorrow. If there is a real person from Adobe reading this, i would appreciate a call/direct email to get this resolved. now 31 minutes and I have to hang up as need to go!!! aarrgghhh!!!

System is 8.1 64-bit. iTunes is 32-bit. Why?

My computer is running Windows 8.1, 64-bit. iTunes is 32-bit. Why did 64-bit iTunes not install?

I have Windows XP-64 bit and have been using XP 32 bit successfully for several years (on launch it always says it needs reinstalled but has always worked fine) because there has not (was not then at least) a iTunes version for my OS. I bought a new iPod and it now won't connect unless I upgrade to iTunes 8.1. I still cannot find an XP-64 bit version but the 32 bit installer says it highly recommends the 64 bit version, there is a Vista 64 bit version but it requires Vista. Is there a XP-64 bit solution?

How can I run a 32 bit application on a 64 bit machine?

A program I use: Easyeclipse seems to only support 32 bit. Since I have a 64 bit system, I can't run it. Is there any way I can run a 32 bit executable on a 64 bit system?

I have 32 bit iTunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit because the 32 bit will not uninstall (or run).

I have 32 bit itunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit itunes because the 32 bit willl not uninstall.

Excellent news.
That one can sometimes hit people if they've used the PC Mover utility to transfer a 32-bit iTunes program onto a 64-bit system. Similar issues can arise if a 32-bit Bonjour or 32-bit AMDS get transfered across to a 64-bit system by PC Mover, so it might pay to keep a weather eye out for that (if you've used PC Mover).

Essbase Excel Addin on 64 Bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Office 2010

Hi Everyone,
I have installed 11.1.2.2 on server with Essbase and Shared Services.
Now, on the client I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit office 2010.
I tried installing Excel Addin client only (without Essbase client) and restarted machine after install.
After install Addin didnt come up automatically and i tried to manually set the add-in, I'm getting an error "This is not a valid add-in"
Is it because i am using 64 bit of office and have to go back to 32 bit.
Isnt 64 bit supported for latest 11.1.2.2 Essbase ?
Any ideas or experience in this regard will be helpful to me as our company is going for Windows 7 and Office 2010 across the business users and if 64 bit Office is not supported or has issues i would have to suggest them to go with 32 bit Office 2010.
Thank you.

for 64 bit i guess its not avaiable for 2010 excel

Installing SAP GUI on 64-bit Windows 7 with 32-bit Office

Until about 6 months ago, 64-bit systems in my environment had 64-bit Office 2010 installed. That caused some problems with other applications, so I made the decision that, going forward, ALL systems would have 32-bit Office 2010 installed.
Apparently, it's taken 6 months, but I finally have a need to Install SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 6 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system with 32-bit Office 2010. It turns out, that doesn't work.
I receive this:
Not all package prerequisits [sic] are fulfilled
Outlook Client extension for the synchronization of SAPoffice calendar with Outlook calendar... No compatible version of Microsoft Outlook found.
I am assuming that since this same installation works on my 32-bit systems, that it is upset about my architecturally-mismatched Office.
Am I correct about the source for this problem? If so, is there anything I can do to make the GUI work in this environment?

Hi John,
Actually, there is no mismatch in having 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows. In fact, this is probably the preferred environment. SAPGUI in general is much happier with 32-bit Office, especially older patches (by the way, 7.20 is no longer in support -- you should upgrade to 7.30).
The errors you're receiving are most probably related to lingering 64-bit components of Office on your workstation. We had the same situation in my office a while back, when we first started rolling out 64-bit Windows to a few users, and the PC techs mistakenly thought that meant they had to install 64-bit Office. That caused lots of problems, since 64-bit Office is incompatible with many things, not just SAPGUI, as you found. Correcting the error by simply reinstalling Office 32-bit resulting in workstations with some 64-bit and some 32-bit components, and that just made things worse. Systems where 32-bit Office was installed from the beginning (on 64-bit OS) had no problems at all.
So, what you're probably going to need to do is to uninstall all Office components (including Outlook, Visio, anything like that, not just Word and Excel), and also uninstall your SAPGUI, then reinstall 32-bit Office (with Outlook) from scratch, then reinstall your SAPGUI. This will probably clear up your problem.

How to use Internet Explorer 11 64 bits rather than the 32 bit version, on Windows 7 familial premium 64 bit

Hi,
my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
is already installed on your computer". Thanks

Hi,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.

Hi Alex, we are also using tuxedo 32-bit on Solaris 64-bit operating
system. There
is no problem doing this as your solaris version supports both 32 bit
and 64 bit
programs. The things to watch out for are when you are building a tuxedo
application,
you have to make sure that all the libraries you link with are also 32
bit libraries,
including oracle. We ran into build problems when some libraries were
32 bit
and others were 64 bit.
There's good information about 32bit v 64bit on solaris at the following
web site...
http://docs.sun.com/?p=/doc/806-6543/6jffrdmee&a=view
I personally would use 64bit if possible, but it's no big deal to build
32 bit
applications because my tuxedo application does not need a 64bit address
space
and is not computationally heavy. Most of the CPU takes place in the
database,
which in our case is Oracle, and which happens to be 64bit anyway. So
it's not
a bad thing to build a 32 bit tuxedo application that runs on a 64 bit
operating
system, for most types of tuxedo applications.

If the platform list shows that a 32-bit build is certified on a 64bit

If you want an actual 64 bit build, it is because you want the big
address space, longer longs in FML, and everything else you get from
64
bits.
If you want to have an application span Solaris and Digital UNIX, which
is always 64 bit, you might want both to be 64 bits so that you do
not
lose any data in the conversion.
On HP, you can't link 32-bit Tuxedo with another product that is 64-bit
(Oracle for example). You might need a 64 bit Tuxedo in order to work
with other products.

Running a 32 bit app on a 64 bit server issue

Please help! I have been trying all of the fixes on the internet and nothing seems to work. I am trying to use the Oracle OLE DB Provider to run a 32 bit application on a 64 bit server - tried on a 2008 R2 and a 2003 SP2, both fail. I have tried with Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6.0 client and the 10.2.0.4.0 client - both fail.
It keeps installing the bin and inventory directories into the Program Files (x86) folder and I am assuming it is trying to run the 64 bit dll's instead of the 32 bit Oracle OLE DB provider DLL's. I have made a new installation and had it install into C:\ProgramFilesx86 but it still installs the bin and inventory files into C:\Program Files (x86). I have tried moving the contents and editing the registry, all I can find is that the inst_loc is pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory so I change it to the file I created and restart the computer, still get an error when trying to test using a udl file.
Error shows: "Provider is no longer available. Ensure that the provider is installed properly."
I have also tried unregistering the OLE DB dll's located inside C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB for oledb32.dll and oledb32r.dll. It only lets me unregister the oledb32.dll. For oledb32r.dll it says the entry point for dllregisterserver was not found. I then register the oledb32.dll file inside of C:\program files (x86)\common files\system\ole db and then restart the server. Still get the UDL error and when i try to connect the application it just say DNS is not reachable. In the tnsnames.ora file there is no reference to the Program Files (x86) directory.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get a 32 bit application using Oracle OLE DB provider to run on a 64 bit server?
Thank you!

To clarify further.... It is important to note that Forms/Repors 11.1.2.x software (including WLS and JDK) must be of the same archetecture as the machine. In other words, you cannot use the 32bit Forms/Reports 11.1.2 software on 64bit Windows. If you are using a 64bit OS, you must install the 64bit software. Again, this would include Forms/Reports, WLS, and JDK

Can't seem to find oracle native 32-bit cleint for a 64-bit Windows 2008 op

Hi,
We have a Windows 2008 server (64-bit) and have installed oracle 64-bit client on there.
Have a third party application which is usggesting need also a 32-bit oracle native client.
Had a look on otn but can't seem to find. For 64-bit o/s can only see 64-bit oracle client.
Any ideas/links much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems there is a 32 bit client and a 64 bit client.
We have a 64 bit operating system. (MS Windows 2008 SERVER).
Is it correct theses are the only2 versions of the client a 32bit client and a 64 bit client and the operating system is irrelevant.
i.e. no 32 bit client for 32 bit operating system operating and 32 bit client for 64 bit operating system?
Thanks

32 bit version on a 64 bit OS

Hi,
I have been using SQL server now for a year (self taught). I have recently been given a new laptop by work and advised to install my own SQL Server from my MSDN subscription.
I have however unwittingly installed a 32 bit version of SQL Server 2014 on my 64 bit machine. After noticing, I have tried to uninstall it but I get the message "the operating system on this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for sql server
2014".
I have been advised that the only way now to remove it from my laptop is to get it completely re-built again.
Can anyone suggest an answer that could avoid me having to re-build my laptop and allow me to simply uninstall? It baffles me that it would allow me to install an incorrect version yet won't allow an uninstall.
I have tried changing the compatibility settings of the setup.exe in the bootstrap file and had no luck.
Thanks

Try this https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c2bb8040-02f3-4fc7-ad3e-77241e65fe0b/uninstall-sql-express-2014-error?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade
Probably changing the compatibility level of setup.exe might help.
However you dont really have to uninstall 32 bit SQL to install 64 bit. Both can go side by side.

Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.
