having so many issues with network applications like Mas90 that I need to consider Converting from X64 to X86. can't find anything new about this subject. Most posts I find are about Vista. Any thoughts?

Hi, Could you please describe the issue clearly? What’s the detailed issue you have encountered? If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs. For more information about performing a custom installation, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7‍.

Hi Sabrina Our Route Accounting software company requires us to use MAS90 for our accounting and ODBC for direct connetcion to their datamart for our reporting. Trying to upgrade the MAS90 from version 4.3 to 4.4 is causing issues that they say can be avoided by installing on x86 based PCs. MAS90 says it is no issue to run on x64 - but that is what it is. Not crazy about MAS90 anyway. Also the ODBC driver that they requireus to use is PostgreSQL. The x86 version is supplied by them but when I started using the x64 machines, the driver would not load. so I found the PostgreSQL 64-bit version and it causes Data source name not found, Specified DSN and PivitTable cube function errors. I have found that the issue with the errors seems to be if the driver was installed by any user other than administrator - even by a user with admin privlidges. On the machines that were installed and not working, there seems to be no way to remove and reinstall. Even as admin, at local machine level and editing the registry to remove all instances of Postgre. thanks for any input you can offer.

Hi, According your description, this issue is related with the compatibility, and I suggest contacting with the Route Accounting software company supports. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tnmff@microsoft.com.
