    Yes indeed you can. In fact I have found the 64 bit version more problematic then the 32 bit one.

    32 bit applications will 99.9% of the time run absolutely fine on Windows x64. However some of these 32 bit applications use installers that are 16 bit. Running 16 bit applications is not supported on any of the Windows x64 operating systems.

    There is a way around that 16 bit issue -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9...on-64-bit-win7
