Is CS5 for Vista 32-bit compatible w/Windows 7?

I have CS5 for Visa 32-bit. How can I tell if the software is compatible with a 64-bit? I am tiring of chronic blue screen and am ready to upgrade my OS but don't want to have to repurchase CS5.
Also, does anyone think it would be advisable to wait for Windows 8? I use my pc for photo editing and storing recipies. Am also considering a Mac, so anxiety level is high just deciding! Thanks for your input.

Even though they've put out a Developer's Preview, Windows 8 isn't going to be released any time soon, and we don't yet know about the compatibility between your Photoshop CS5 and Windows 8. Some things are seen not to work properly with Photoshop CS5 and the Windows 8 Developer Preview.
Windows 7 is still a good choice right now.

Drivers for Satellite L300-1AN for Vista 64-bit

Hello,
I just bougt a notebook, Toshiba Satellite L300-1AN, and i Intend to install Vista 64-bit OS but i didn't find drivers for Vista 64-bit (only for Vista 32-bit). Can you help me withsome information or some links?
Another question (I am not an expert): my notebook have 4Gb RAM and some guys told me that only a 64-bit OS can use all my 4Gb RAM. Is this true?
Thank you,
Calin

Usually the drivers have to be specifically designed for 64-bit OS, and the installer must definitely not contain any 16-bit code (which is not compatible with 64-bit OS, but which is still a common thing nowadays - for the 32-bit drivers only, obviously). Some 32-bit drivers are somehow compatible with 64-bit OS, but there's a performance limitation (and possible conflicts with other drivers and memory resource allocation; 100% compatibility with the OS, as well as the OS' manufacturer certification, are some of the key features that will make Windows 7 better than Vista, since most of the problems are related to poorly written drivers).
Searching Toshiba's site for 64-bit drivers is definitely not a solution, since the technical specs on the website are not so detailed and cannot be used in order to narrow the search area (and there's no field to search by chipset driver, regardless the product series; even with such a field, not having the files indexed properly will bring no result).
The RealTek (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Sound) and Intel (Video, Memory Controller, USB...) drivers are easy to find, but the Toshiba-specific drivers, as well as the Toshiba applications, are a little trickyer to get. Those are the ones I'm interested in.

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

Adobe Reader for Vista-64 bit

Which Adobe Reader should I down load for Vista 64 bit? Is there a free down load? Thanks, I know just enough to get into trouble, doing my research in advance this time.

Thanks,
I found this reg fix that worked as well.For others, here it is in case they drop it on the other site in the future
add the following key to your registry;

ITunes: Installer is indented for a 32-bit version of windows. Please obtain a 64 bit installer

I get this error message when installing the itunes64Setup.
Installer is indented for a 32-bit version of windows. Please obtain a 64 bit installer from www.apple.com/support.
Originally ,I copied my old 32bit files from Vista to a new windows 7 machine and then I tried to reinstall iTunes and got the error message.
In addition, i tried to uninstall iTunes and it will not uninstall. Then I tried to clean it off manually and reinstall it. I still get the same message Installer is indented for a 32-bit version.
Any suggestions.

64bit architecture is a bit tricky, particularly when it comes to hardware. While I'm fairly sure Apple (like a lot of other companies) will work to support this in the future, the fact is that folks running 64bit right now are in a huge minority (less than 1/10 of a percent) and it's impossible to support everybody.
There are probably about 10 times the number of folks running some version of Linux on their PCs (we're not talking Macs here right now) and yet they can't use the iPhone or a whole lot of other things. It's just the way of thw world -- pick something that isn't mainstream and you pay for being on the bleeding edge.
It will catch up to you -- patience is indeed the key.

Why is there no Boot Camp support for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on the 64-bit iMac that I'm using?

The early 2008 24" iMac 8,1 has a 2.8 ghz E8235 Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a data width of 64-bits.
I am straining badly to understand why Apple is only providing drivers for the 32-bit version of Windows 7 for the 64-bit hardware that I want to install it on.

The 64 bit drivers are there, but there have been some installation
issues depending on Windows OS and Apple hardware. You may
want to post on the Bootcamp forum to get more direct response to
your issue.
FWIW, at one point, I forget when, I found I needed to manually
open the 64 bit versions of the drivers to install them that were created
on the bootcamp driver install disk (image). As I recall the was a
64 bit .msi "global" installer but even at that there was an individual
one that needed to be manually installed.
Its been a while since I last did this since I have been doing everything
in Windows virtual machines with Parallels.

4 GB RAM modules PC-8500? for Vista-64 bit, Windows-7-64 bit

More and more people people are going 64-bit Vista and especially Windows-7 is heading in that direction:

Most new laptops are now shipping with a 64-bit OS. Take Best Buy's newest shipment of HP laptops, for example, who shows 11 models listed as "new arrivals." All but three come with Vista 64-bit, with the remaining models sporting Windows Vista Business downgraded to XP Pro, also in 64-bit form

Using data from its Windows Update servers, Microsoft calculated that 1.45% of all Windows Vista machines were running x64 Vista editions in March of this year. By June, that figure was up to 5.18%. That number is actually more impressive than it sounds: by my back-of-the-envelope calculations, making that shift in total market share means that at least 20% of all Vista PCs sold in the second quarter of this year came with 64-bit editions of Windows Vista preinstalled. By fall, it’s possible, even likely, that we’ll reach a tipping point, with more than 50% of new PCs sold at retail coming with 64-bit editions of Windows Vista preinstalled.
The problem is that for laptops you need to use expensive 4 GB SODIMMs which for PC2-5300 which is used in the older T61 you can purchase for about $200 each for a total of $400 for 8 GB which is not too bad of a price:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231202
But the newer laptops use the faster PC3-8500 which comes in the 2 GB module at $45 for a total of $90 for 4 GB.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148192
And the 4 GB PC3-8500 is about $500 or a total of $1000 for 8 GB.
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT51264BC1067
Is there a way to use the cheaper PC2-5300 4 GB modules in the T400 and save $600?
Lenovo tech support? Tim?
TIA.

I have been looking into this subject for the past month and, being a total geek, think it might be fun installing 8 gigs of RAM on my system.
I know it's overkill, but why not...

Has anyone tried installing BC2.1 for Vista 64-bit in the Safe mode?

Before I go ahead, has anyone attempted to install the BC2.1 64-bit update for Vista using the Safe mode?
The thought occurred to me earlier, and before I bothered, I was wondering if it had been tried yet by anyone?
As with most others with Vista 64 bit, the exe runs, asks for permission and then dies. Not even a whimper

I attempted to install the BC2.1 in the safe mode, but it still did nothing.
In the normal mode, viewing the Task Manager, when I click the update, after a long while the Task Manager shows a message, something to the effect, "BC2.1.exe is waiting for administrator approval."
After I check the box in the approval window that it's OK to run, the warning in the Task Manager disappears and nothing reappears, meaning the process died.
The system logs don't show very much, but I did not bother too much with them.
This is an issue that Apple has to address. I am confident that they will.
Meanwhile I will post a note on the developers board about it.
http://developer.apple.com/contact/
I presume when it's fixed, the update will show up in the Apple Software Update window, just as the XP update appeared on my other MBP.
Until then, it's just a bit annoying.

How To Download 32 Bit PE10 for Vista 64 Bit PC?

I purchased a bundled Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & Premiere Elements 10. When attempting to install Premiere Elements 10 I received an error stating..
This installer does not support 64 Bit Windows XP or Vista. If you are installing from discs pelase remove ths disk and insert disk #1. If you are not installing from disk please download the 32-bit version of Premiere Elements 10.
I have only one disk in the bundle for Windows (the other is for the MAC OS) Where/How can I download Premiere Elements 10 or a 64 bit installer for Vista for the disk I have. I'm guessing my serial numbers are only valid for PE10.
Thank you.

Thank you both B. Hunt and J. Smith for the time and thought spent on my issue. I feel the root cause of my issue is described in my post #4 through the
Adobe support link: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/cannot-install-premiere-el ements-10.html
which describes the the 64bit installer not working on 64 bit XP or bit 64bit Vista PCs. The support article further describes how to download a 32 bit version of Premier Elements 10 and install on my 64 bit Vista machine.
While the OEM version of the software seems to be a contributor to the confusion and lacking multiple discs, the support article did not suggest that it was a packaging/bundling issue, but more so an incompatibility of operating systems and software installers. I agree that the bait and switch by the seller (picture one thing and ship another) didn't help and I will be taking it up with them (and Amazon). That said, not seeking to pay list price for cars, appliances, or software isn't unethical, switching or not disclosing what one is selling however is unethical.
I followed the instructions in the Adobe support post and the 32 installer worked on my 64 bit Vista machine. I stopped just short of entering the license code as I plan to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit in order to use the 64bit version of the PE10 - which I feel would perform faster. I'd expect that the installer would work as it did for Photoshop Elements 10 on the same OEM bundle. My fallback position is to run the 32 bit version on the Win7 64bit machine after I upgrade.
Finally, I'm a hobbyist, just looking to create a DVD capturing a recent family reunion. That was my objective and I'm closer to achieving it as a result of Adobe Support and your contributions. Thank you.

It seems iTunes for Vista 64 bit isn't itself a 64 bit application

When I am on my 64 bit Vista box and I go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ site and it identified my system as "Vista (64-bit)" and I proceed with the download, and run the installer it provided it installed into c:\program files (x86)\ which is where it installs 32 bit programs. I also verified the file name to be the 64 bit one as identified in this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301.
If it is installing into x86 folder it is not a 64 bit application. It may be a special 32 bit application that works correctly on the 64 bit version of Vista but it is not 64 bit according to Vista. Most of what I have seen seems to be misleading and not be clear on this, it seems to be implying that it is a 64 bit version of iTunes when it is not. This may have been unintentional on Apple's part.

Yeah I am not disputing that it is doing what it is supposed to. I am just disputing that it is misleading. I think it should be very clear and state that this is a 32 bit version of iTunes specific for installing on 64 bit versions of Vista.

No download available for Kernel 32-bit i586, only Windows on IA32 32bit

Hello,
on marketplace we don't find kernel for Windows Server 32-bit i586.
There are only for Windows Server on IA32 32bit.
This is in all Releases from 4.6C to 7.0
Also in PAM are only entries for Windows Server on IA32 32bit.
Does anybody knows the reason?
Best regards
Petra Wöritz

IA32 32bit is the official architecture used by Intel for the 32 Bit Chips.
For Windows there is only one 32 Bit Architecture (even there where several different CPUs I386/i586 etc).
IA32 is already used since some years in http://service.sap.com/pam and also quite a while in the patches download areas of the service market place.
