I just installed win xp x64 I can't any of my software to load and work like
work suite. or WIN Plus! I thought that this os was to have some emulator
that would alow 32 bit programs to work. Also I it possible to just load my
version of windows pro and wait to install x64 verison latter when the world
catches up? Please help!!!

It's called Windows on Windows64 (WOW64) and it works very well unless a
device driver is involved, like Distiller in Adobe Acrobat. Office 2000,
2002, and 2003 work fine as does Works. OpenOffice.org 1.4.x works. But
you may have a problem with a printer driver. Many printers work or work
with a generic driver.

After installing Win xp 64, you did install your programs into the new
system, right?
As you know, there is no upgrade from win32 to win64.

Works Suite 2002 works fine. You will probably have to activate Word again
if they allow you, or buy another copy if they don't. Win Plus I don't know
about, but about 1/2 my programs don't work either(or only partly work), so
I hear you. Depends on whether you used TAP to receive your x64 version.
Then your x86 license would be invalid and you would have to buy another
license for it.
