<title>Using MathXpert on a 64-bit machine</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you should be running a 64-bit version of Windows, you may find that an additional step is required to allow MathXpert, which is a 32-bit program, to run. If MathXpert runs fine after installing it, ignore this message. Otherwise there are two approaches, one thoroughly tested and one newly discovered by a student, but maybe simpler.</p>
<p>The tested approach involves telling Windows that the program is "compatible", whatever that means. The instructions for doing that vary from one version of Windows to another, unfortunately.</p>
<p>For 64-bit Windows 7: right-click the MathXpert icon in the Start<br />
menu, and pick the Compatibility Troubleshooter from the pop-up menu.<br />
When the Troubleshooter is finished, it will pronounce MathXpert<br />
"incompatible", but nevertheless, after that it will run fine.</p>
<p>For 64-bit Windows Vista Home: you won't see the Compatibility<br />
Troubleshooter when you right-click, so that won't work. Instead,<br />
using Windows Explorer (available from Start | Accessories), browse<br />
to where mathXpert.exe is located, namely \Program<br />
Files(x86)\HelpWithMath, then right-click mathXpert.exe and choose<br />
Properties. Under the Compatibility tab, check boxes as shown <a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/">here</a>.<br />
Then it should run fine.</p>
<p>These steps can also be used with other programs that were originally<br />
written for 32-bit machines.</p>
<p>The newly-discovered approach might be simpler. The installation program installs the "Help With Math" folder under "C:\Program Files (x86)". To remedy the problem on 64-bit machines, simply move the folder "Help With Math" to "C:\Program Files". Then, of course, the icon on the desktop and presumably in the Start menu will refer to the old location and need to be fixed, which I think you can do by right-clicking them.</p>
