Re: [LegacyUG] 32 versus 64 bit
MANY 32 bit programs can run fine under 64 bit windows, but not all. Utility programs are potential problem programs (drive scan type of programs), and some programs that really max out your system resources might be potential problem ones. So, while you do need to be careful with what you install, most day-to-day normal programs are USUALLY ok. But it doesn't hurt to check with the program vendor before you install. So don't feel like it was a dumb question - better safe than sorry! (I am also running Win7 - 64 bit and legacy runs fine) Bob On 04/13/2012 16:53, Charles Apple wrote: Lyn, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and also run Legacy 7 Deluxe, 32 bit, with no problems.

Re: [LegacyUG] 32 versus 64 bit
Lyn, Legacy is a 32-bit program and runs perfectly on 64-bit WIndows Vista or Windows 7. I have a *lot* of 32-bit programs on both of those versions of Windows and have absolutely no problems. with the programs. 64-bit Windows will run 32-bit programs just fine. I don't know what those people were talking about. You can't run 64-bit programs on a 32-bit computer, but you can run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer. Just make sure you install Legacy as per the instructions at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/helpWindows7andVista.asp.
