Hi List:
As for 64 Bit Windows, my understanding is that you can run 32 & 64 bit
applications in it. Just like you can run 16 & 32 bit applications under
Windows 32 bit operating systems. However, you can not run a 64 bit application
on a Windows 32 bit operating system, because Windows 32 bit is not forward
compatible with 64 bit applications.

Hi List:
First of all, 64 bit computer systems will run 32 bit applications. In fact a
lot of computers sold now a days are 64 bit hardware running all 32 bit
software, because of the lack of many 64 bit applications.
Secondly, according to a computer magazine article I read recently, Window
Vista is screen reader compatible. If I understood it correctly, you will have
to run Windows Vista in windows XP/98 classic mode, and not the new GUI,
(graphical user interface) mode.
I hope this helps!
P.S.
I'm sorry! I don't remember where the article was.
