Always use 64 bit drivers and if avable use 64 bit applications.


summery.Most 32 bit applications will run quite happily under Windows 7 / Vista 64. The main exceptions are:

• 32 bit device drivers.
• Applications that cannot function without the 32 bit device drivers that they use. Prime examples are antivirus, antimalware and firewall applications.
• Application extensions that rely on code injection into, for example, Explorer.

Some applications may work with reduced functionality. These include uninstallers, registry cleaners and tweaking programs, amongst others, since they only have access to that part of the Registry made visible to them by WOW64.
