g'day, have just purchased a dell desktop online with Vista 64 bit operating system. Need a compatible home accounting system but are struggling to find one. Quicken appear to have suitable product in the US but not in Oz. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks,
mike

Just about all 32 bit applications will run on 64 bit Vista. See the question "Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit Computer?" in:

So, the 32-bit Quicken should work just fine. Device drivers (programs that come with a piece of hardware like a video card) are a different story.

Thanks rstuart, Unfortunately quicken personal 2009 has a warning that it is not available on Windows 64 bit operating system. Microsoft Money have shut down for the time being - they are the obvious people who should cater for their own customers' needs but don't. I'm trying to find where to go from there. Your link to software compatibility is handy. Thanks, Mike
