| Vista Ultimate x64 | Vista Upgrade Problem I upgraded from 32 bit Vista Ultimate to 64 bit Vista Ultimate, and used Windows Easy Transfer to move over my files and folders. I noticed that all of the folders for my old 32 bit programs moved over [now in Program Files (x86)], but they do not show under Start > All Programs. Am I able to add those to the start menu and still use the 32 bit versions? I have already reinstalled Office 2007 and iTunes, but want to know if that could cause any problems. I tried to submit this earlier, but for some reason I can't find my original post. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Vista Upgrade Problem All programs does not include Program Files x86 and also, technically, all your files have not been registered as installed. They are just sitting there. Be aware, a VERY small number of programs will not work on 64 bit. Maybe that is the problem. |

| Vista Ultimate 32-bit & Business 32-bit | Re: Vista Upgrade Problem Windows Easy Transfer intentionally does NOT migrate applications. You will basically have to reinstall from scratch every single program you want to use. Sorry, but that's how it works. |
