how can i install 32 bit driver on 64 bit?

hello

i have several programs which i want to install on vista 64 but i dont know how
1) one is a fingprint reader program which doesn't support 64 bit, even though i saw this on one site:
Quote:
DigitalPersona is only available for 32-bit Vista at the moment, but it really works. It’s also been confirmed to run on Windows Vista 64-bit edition if you force the usage of unsigned drivers.. so that won’t be a problem for our 64-bit friends out there.

here is the site:IntelliPoint, IntelliType, and DigitalPersona Officially on Windows Vista! at The NeoSmart Files
2) the second program is peer gaurdian2

how can i force usage if unsigned drivers?

thank a lot

Hi ras81,

To run unsigned drivers in vista go to this link and follow the directions:

http://www.vistax64.com/tricks-n-tips/60393-disable-driver-signing-x64.html#post293253

To run a signed 32-bit driver in x64 Vista will be a hit and miss situation. Some will work some will not. You could try using the compatiblity mode for the drivers install program. You could also manually select the driver's .INF or .DLL file while manually pointing Vista to the driver.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
