I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit edition.

Ive noticed that i cannot play 32 bit games such as the Zork series.

How do i play 32 bit games, i have heard of people doing it with WOW64 i have WOW64 but i do not know how to use it.

Please help?

What exactly is a "bit" anyway...?

~~you cant obviously~~

I have a 64-bit computer and you just have to live with it.

I think you can run the program in compatibility mode, though.

Why did you buy 64 bit?

Yes you can because people have done it before in WOW64.

And also 64 bit runs better on my computer.

64-bit computers:

They can contain PETABYTES of memory, for one.

WOW64 is made for 64-bit computers.

They're probably 16 bit.

Doesn't 64 bit run 32 bit parallel?

If you have windows 7 Ultimate then it should still work. Try running it in windows XP compatibility mode.

And it should run it anyways...

Yep. Zork isn't 32 bit. It's probably 16 bit.

Your a loving idiot thats called an operation system. An operating system is what you computer runs and it has nothing to do with 64 bit or 32 bit. Lets say i run in Windows XP service pack 2. That would be for my computer Windows XP Servicepack 2 64-bit.

Would Age of Empires 2 work on my Win7 laptop? :I

Hey I was actually right about 64bit for once! Sue me, I don't use 64bit that much. I only have it on my laptop.

Anyways like Marcem said, it's probably 16 bit. Try googling for an emulator. I really doubt it'll work but it's probably the only thing you can do.
