What 32 bit programs work on XP x64?

Im really curious to see what 32bit programs run on XP 64 bit.I could try it on my XP pc but eh i had enough of reinstalls.

 

should be any 32bit program will work on 64

64 will not work on 32

 

"64 will not work on 32"
Yeah i know,but the PC can run XP 64 bit it said in the bios uhhh.. I didnt remember correctly it said 64 bit compatible

very easy and quick way to find out if your processor can handle 64bit

 

it would appear that you can install xp 64bit,

 

Great that means i can,but i will stay with XP 32 bit since i had enough istalling XP

 

I've found some work, some dont, quite a few offer 32 & 64 versions. I never found antivirus that worked with 64, so I stay offline with 64. <- no a/v plus 8± gigs ram, XP-64 does fly!.
Tweak 64 bit version, Ultrasearch 64, Iconoid 64, etc, etc,

 

Any 32-bit programs that are compatible with XP SP2 should work on 64-bit XP. Not sure if XP x64 still has compatibility with 16-bit programs (AFAIK XP was the last 32-bit MS OS to have native support for 16-bit programs; that got dropped in Vista and hasn't made a reappearance since in any later Windows versions).

 

@cornemuse hmmm then why i was able to install avast on xp 64 bit?
here proof:

 

Microsoft Windows XP Home / Professional / Media Center Edition - Service Pack 3, 32-bit

above from system requirements for avast version 18.6.3983.0

last version for 64 was version 10.......

are you sure your avast install is not a 32bit install, which will run on 64 but not sure if it is working properly

All real-time AV scanners employ kernel drivers to hook into filesystem activity. On 64-bit systems this of course needs a 64-bit kernel driver.

 

Guess I shoulda said 'a decent antivirus', , , ,
I have run across some 32 bit stuff that does not work with 64

(me = xp pro 32 sp3 and xp64 sp2)

 

fortunately I just have 32bit

 

So avast is not a decent antivirus?

 

50/50 on avast, if it works for you then that is good, most do not like avast after it started with the many nag screens to upgrade.
