Microsoft Zune Software and 64 bit XP Pro

Postby a1 » Sun Jun 29, 2008 1:56 am

Will it work? Has anyone tried it?

I am planning to buy the Zune 3.2 80Gb version and was wondering if it would work on 64bit XP pro. I know that it can work in 64bit Vista without problems but XP seems to be in the dark.


Also is there a compatibility mode in XP Pro 64bit so applications can work in the 32bit version without all the asking and searching for the stuff needed?


Thanks

oh and MPEG-4 video file format is commonly known as mp4 correct?

Lots of questions as if I buy this it is the first portable media player aside from portable CD and cassette players i will have.

Thank you.


I have found the workaround for the 32bit software that is need by the Zune but I just need a 32bit computer to use the workaround :-/.
