    Hey everyone, doing some research on using 32 bit programs with Win 7 64 Bit that are set to install in a 16 Bit mode. If you do an install to a USB Flash drive or hard drive, you can then copy the entire install file location from the flash or HDD and place them in your X86 Program File location on the 64 Bit system. Tried this with Photoshop 5 and 6 and it worked beautifully! Have some older programs that are set to install using 16 Bit but run in 32 Bit in X86 Programs. I'll pass on how it works. So far, only one thing will not work and that is a 32 Bit Cardbus CF card reader for my Canon EOS 1 DS. Still searching for something to drive that reader along so I can use it.

    Did you try unknown devices program and then looking for a driver based on the chipset in the CF reader ?
