I had never thought of that myself. I will give it some consideration once I am sure I have exhausted options which do not require installing a new OS on the machine. Somewhat reluctant concerning risks, like, will the 32 bit drivers still work on the HW the propriatary 32 bit program is using, on a 64 bit host OS etc....also because I haven't tried using VMware etc - I've heard it should be quite easy though....
