Hi Charles, Um...You got that backwards. For the record 32-bit games and software will work fine on a 64-bit version of Windows. However, a 64-bit application will not work on a 32-bit version of Windows. It is precisely for that reason why I strictly compile all my games as 32-bit in order to make them available both for 32-bit and 64-bit computers.
That said, I have considered making 64-bit versions available for 64-bit customers in order to take advantage of duel cores, more memory, more accurate floating point operations, and other good stuff not possible on a 32-bit system.
