    Hi Jeff

    welcome to the forums.

    64 bit OS'es usually 'thunk' down to 32 bit when needed.

    Jeff,

    While the application itself is a 32-bit program it does run under Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows XP 64-bit. We have not yet tested it under Windows 7, but there is no reason it shouldn’t work. The USB drivers are compatible with 64-bit operating systems as well. For details please see the following link. Take care.

    By the way, in the future you might want to post in another forum.· This is for testing signatures and avatars.
