Windows Xp/vista 64 Bit Backwards Compatible

WeaponX
Does Windows XP/Vista 64 bit editions work well with 32 bit applications? How about in terms of the processor (64 bit Dual Core) being compatible with a 32 bit Windows OS and its applications?

This is my results and it is very conclusive. The support for 32-bit application on Windows Vista x64 is superb (however, some may cause system hiccups). As for Windows XP x64 ... don't bother.

    Vista, and it was. Here are some of my opinions: 1. It makes using your PC a breeze, if Windows is
    responding most of the time. Also, many users have complained about User Account Control, which say
    that it makes using the PC not a breeze. I haven't tried it yet, but from others' point of
    view, it seems to be intrusive and annoying. 2. Your music may be a click away from your re....

  13. Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?

    I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
    the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
    Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
    somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
    for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
    later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

    2000 : in the command prompt, type "control userpasswords" and you see the user admin pannel coming

  17. Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
    Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (19)
    I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
    renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
    Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
    the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
    when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
    I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
  18. Problems Installing Vista

    only been giving me headaches. I've been getting all kinds of errors...most likely related to
    the amount of disk space I allocated for the install or the memory assigned. Well, I gave it all I
    got today. I set VMware to give it 15GB of hard drive space and 512MB of memory. It seems to work.

    users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
    this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
    stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really

    computers in my house and don't want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them all
    myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA
