<H2>16-bit applications </H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 does not support most 16-bit applications. </P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Most 32-bit applications that use 16-bit Microsoft ACME Setup versions 2.6, 3.0, 3.01, and 3.1 and InstallShield versions 5.x install correctly.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>No 32-bit applications that are installed by other 16-bit setup programs are supported. If you try to install one of these applications, the message "\Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application" appears, and the setup program closes without installing or starting the application.</P>
|
|
|
|
<H2>32-bit device drivers</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 does not support 32-bit device drivers. Applications that depend on 32-bit device drivers will not function correctly and might cause an error during installation or operation. Most 32-bit antivirus programs are affected and should not be installed on computers that are running this operating system.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>If Windows does not start after you attempt to install a 32-bit driver, start the computer using the last known good configuration as follows:</P>
|
|
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Restart the computer. </LI>
|
|
<LI>When the message "Please select the operating system to start" appears, press F8. </LI>
|
|
<LI>Press an arrow key to highlight <B>Last Known Good Configuration</B>, and then press ENTER. </LI>
|
|
<LI>Press an arrow key to highlight an operating system, press ENTER, and follow the instructions. </LI></OL>
|
|
|
|
<P class="note">Note</P>
|
|
<P class="indent">Completing this procedure provides a way to recover from problems such as a newly added driver that is incorrect for your hardware. It does not solve problems caused by drivers or files that are corrupted or missing. When you start the computer using the last known good configuration, only the information in the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet is restored. Any changes that you have made in other registry keys remain.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<H2>Internet Explorer and 32-bit Web components</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The 64-bit version of Internet Explorer will not load 32-bit Web components from Microsoft, such as the MSN® Money Ticker, or 32-bit Web components from companies other than Microsoft. To load these components, use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer. </P>
|
|
|
|
<P>To open the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, click <B>Start</B>, click <B>All Programs</B>, and then click <B>Internet Explorer (32-bit)</B>.</P>
