That's not what I've read. But i've not actually tried it. e.g. "Application Compatibility: Windows Vista 64-Bit" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756962.aspx "Applications or components that use 16-bit executables, 16-bit installers, or 32-bit kernel drivers will either fail to start or will function improperly on a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. In this case, the following error message is displayed: The program or feature "[exepath]\[app16bit].exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
