Help me try and run a 32 bit simulator on a 64 bit computer

I need to run a microprocessor simulation program that can only run on 32 bit machines on my 64 bit machine. Any thoughts/help?

doesn't windows emulate 32bit already?

doesn't windows emulate 32bit already?

yeah.

[COLOR="Red"]I understand that, but it won't work at all. Trying to run the simulator will throw up an error message.

That and my professor insisted that it wouldn't run on a 64 bit computer[/COLOR]

try visualizing a 32bit OS then?

That seemed to do the trick. Now just to get the simulator to stop closing within .1 nanoseconds.

What simulator do you use? And what OS? Usually that will help us a little bit more.

Win7 pro. The simulator is the Motorola 68k Assembler. The simulator works fine in the virtual xp, but the assembler seems to close too quickly. I'm going to see how i can fix that issue with it.

You could try using Compatibility Mode as well. Windows 7 Pro supporting using VirtualPC to operate a Windows XP Mode emulator. However, you may want to contact the original developer and ask for a 64-bit compatible version of use it's source and build a 64-bit compliant copy.

It was made it 1986. The only reason we are using it is so that I learn the assembly languages. Compatibility mode did not work, as it was one of the first things I tried.

Are you sure it's a 32-bit application or a 16-bit application. If it was made in 1986 it might be a 16-bit application. If so, try using DOSBox to run the program.

It's 32 bit. I'm running it through a virtual pc running xp. It works, but only for a second. There are two things that need to work, the assembler and the simulator. The simulator works fine, but the assembler does not. I'm currently working on trying to make the assembler work properly.

Is this the program?

It's not, but I'll give that one a try.
