I thought it was program-based, meaning that you can have both 32 bit and 64 bit applications installed.

32 bit programs should run in 64 bit windows unless it is terribly terribly written.
for these programs sometimes you need to right click --> properties --> compatability mode.

One thing I do know: when running 32 bit programs on a 64 bit machine. The parentheses "Program Files (x86)" wreak havoc on the program calls. If you reinstall the software in a "Program Files [x86]" directory, everything works normally.

Can you explain a little more about what that means? Not a computer guy, but trying to pay a little more attention.

check the mfr's website for updated 64-bit drivers
Here you go:

better than I could explain it.
The problem lies with the OS trying to interpret variables, it's been a hidden security feature in MS 64-bit OS to keep programs from executing. lol
There are plenty of ways to do it, but I have a feeling your actually dealing with drivers.
32 bit programs will usually work on 64bit windows, 32 bit drivers will not.
Printers need drivers, and drivers must be 64bit if the OS is 64 bit. The way Windows emulates 32bit will not work for drivers.
This is a common issue with older printers.

have no problems running 32 bit / 64 bit appz in Win7 32/64 bit as mentioned look for drivers accordingly. Now I have several versions of Win7 running in VMWare with no issues even running a very old version of Nero v6.16 (CD/DVD burning) if drivers are a issue you can go here:

if you feel so, create a driver pack DVD with all of the drivers on it, also go to
http://www.msfn.org/board/
for additional nfo.
SCSI device(s) by chance??

What version of windows 7?
I have been using XP mode for an older app and it works beautifully.

You don't even have to launch the VM independently. The applications you install in the xp mode vm are available in the windows 7 start menu.
