Ok, I tried my latest release of Windows 7 [put in the latest updates], and I tried running an old 32 bit video game - Pacific Fighters, - and it wouldn't install! Same thing would happen to Vista 64 bit too!

So not every 32 bit program is gonna run on Windows 7 64 bit! Now you gotta have a backup XP install for old 32 bit programs!

I hope Adobe CS4 has no problems... - Anyone try this on Windows 7 64 bit?

What other programs do you know don't work on Windows 7 64 bit?

This is not news to anyone who's been around computers for a while.

Not news in the least bit, an ancient video game isn't a big surprise, CS4 is actually available in x64 I believe.

Rather than recreating lists that already exist, take a look at some of the Windows 7 discussion forums for app compatibility.
Software - Windows 7 Forums

Nothing new. There are Win95/98 games that won't run on XP.
