For example, NCS will not run at all because it has some 16-bit code and I believe it also uses some EDIABAS libraries that are 16-bit.

In my 3 years of coding experience with this platform, I have not figured out a way to get everything to work properly on an x64 platform. If dzenno, of all people, has figured out a way... then, great. To avoid headaches, however, I still recommend using a 32-bit version of Windows. You can even run it inside a virtual machine if you don't want to reformat your laptop. Another good option is downloading Windows XP Mode from Microsoft.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions beyond what's already covered on the forums and I'll be happy to help as I did with Vasil.

Thanks man...
