installing 32bit programs on win xp pro 64 bit

[Guest]

I just bought an HP workstation with the amd opteron processors (2 of them)
and with win xp pro 64 bit OS installed. I am haveing problems installing 32
bit programs. Some install just fine and others won't even start the
installer. Anyone have any suggestions?

what a nice problem to have, you have a really powerful PC

Jokes aside, you may want to ask the xp pro 64 bit forum to get better
