    @Dean73, what OS are you running? Your System Specs say Linux. Windows X64 has a Program Files X86 folder for 32 bit applications. I have never had a problem running them. With X86 installation, you are limited to about 3.6 GB of ram which would hurt you in some games.

    Less than that :) I had 12gb of RAM and it was only using 2gb of RAM. But you're right though. I'm not using Linux anymore i'm on a Redstone build of Windows 10.
