Computer Assesment says 64 bit Windows is not supported

Question:I was trying to work with a company. I ran their Computer Assesment test and the results say "64 Bit Windows is not supported. (Build Service Pack 26002)"  Do I need to download something else from Microsoft or what do I need to do to be able to pass this assessment? I am on Windows Vista and have run all the important updates???


Answer 1:I ran a computer assessment with a company to work for and it didn't pass.  It said "64 Bit Windows is not supported. (Build Service Pack 26002)"  What do I need to do in order for my computer to meet their requirments?  I've downloaded all the Microsoft important updates.  I'm on Vista.  HELP :(
Thanks

Answer 2:

Hi Swillsn,

 Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows will work on a computer running 64-bit versions of Windows. However, some may not be fully compatible.

 Things that we always need to keep in mind are, whether the program is fully compatible running on 64-bit versions of Windows and whether we have the correct updated drivers for 64-bit versions of Windows.

 I would recommend you to verify with the manufacturer of the Computer assessment test, that whether the assessment test is compatible running on 64-bit versions of Windows or whether they have any updated version of the assessment test that works on 64-bit versions of Windows.
