Is there any softwares and games compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit

[fellah]

I have Windows Vista 64 bit with 4 GB of RAM on my computer. I want to know if their is some software and games compatible with Vista 64 bit?

Do you have any compatibility problems?

[Fabian]

Hello friend

Even I am using Windows Vista 64 bit since 6 months and never faced any knid of such issues. Everything is working very well. However there may be 3 to 4 software's which will not work but does not bothers me at all. Games like Counter Strike (all), Far Cry, Crysis, etc does not have any problem under Vista.

[fellah]

OK, so there is no problem with the games. That seems to me a good news.

Now about your RAM, how many do you have? If its 4GB, didn't you felt a difference in games?

To know with certainty, we must open an executable file by loading it into a text editor. You can see two letters "PE" (Portable Executable) or "NT" (New Executive) somewhere in the first five lines in the middle of the small square which include non-printable characters. If it is "NT" then this is not good because the format "New Executive" is the old 16-bit. If it is "PE" then it's good because the format Portable "Executable" which is good 32-bit/64-bit.
