Re: [amibroker] 64 Bit

[mrdavis9]

I am a very low tech capable person, so I would like to download the Amibroker 64bit Version into the "Program Files " folder where I am understanding that 64 bit programs are supposed to be placed.   I  am currently  running Amibroker Pro Version 4.75.2  dated  January 3,2006.     It is running from my Program Files(x86) folder under  my Windows XP Prox64, operating system .   I want to leave the Amibroker Pro Version 4.75.2  dated  January 3,2006 in my Program Files(x86) folder till I am confident that I I am having no problems with the 64bit version of Amibroker.   Assuming that I will never have both versions open at the same time, does anyone know if this is this possible, and also OK  to do?  Ron D.           ----- Original Message ----- From: Tomasz Janeczko To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 4:56 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] 64 Bit Hello,   Almost all 32 bit programs run just perfecly fine in Windows 64 bit. Windows 64 bit has WOW64 mechanism that provides 32 bit "environment" for all 32-bit applications so they don't need to be modified at all. I have lots of legacy 32 bit applications (Macromedia stuff, Visual studio, MS office) and they work all fine in 64-bit Windows.   The only thing you should take care about are drivers, but most recent hardware already has 64 bit drivers either built in into Windows (network cards, USB memory sticks) or coming from hardware manufacturers (NVidia offers 64- bit drivers for ALL its graphic cards and all recent motherboard chipsets, the same with ATI - it offers 64-bit drivers for all recent graphic cards), if you have machine with Athlon 64 it must be recent and you won't have any problems with getting 64 bit drivers.   If in doubt, list your hardware in detail (all cards and chipset)   Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Ross G To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 5:57 AM Subject: [amibroker] 64 Bit Hello All,   I have Win XP Home SP2  XP 32 bit and AMD Athlon 64.  If I switch to XP Professional 64 will this just install over the 32 bit without problems? Have I got to go to the trouble of partitioning and taking data over?  Then reinstalling my software ?Further, what about drivers?  I assume that some of my software will not open without driver upgrading.   I do not want to be left behind future developments.  If the above is too difficult I would hope the 32 bit will be developed in unison with the 54 bit.   Any Comments?   Thanks, Ross Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
