OK I am new to this forum but I think I can help.
I my self have been using the 64 bit xp for only a few days and have found only a few flaws.
When your installing a 32 bit app you must use WOW.
How to do this: Right click on the program installer and go to properties and you will see a tab called compatibility..click on it and you will get a list of modes going back to win 95 (not that you will need to go back that far) and be sure to click apply.
Now run the install and TADA!
