in reply to Problems with Configuring PPM and Module Installations on Win XP-64 after Win XP
I am no expert on Win XP-64, but I understand that there is some kind of mode that can say "X" is a Win-32 app and you can run in some kind of compatibility mode. Most 64 bit boxes are pretty fast critters and if the 32 bit version is adequate for you, this could be an option.
