Yes, Windows XP Professional x64 is backwards compatible with most 32 bit
programs, running in WOW64. However, there are certain things that don't work
-- things like DQSD that runs an ActiveX component on the desktop. Or anything
that requires a driver - all drivers must be 64 bit. And a few other oddities,
but the vast majority of 32-bit programs work just fine.
Unfortunately, the 32-bit program in question, DQSD, is one of those few that
doesn't. Maybe the re-write that is intended to handle the SP2 issues will also
resolve this, I don't know. But I hope someone is checking!
