Running FM9 (and TCS2) on 64-bit systems

[Martinek, Carla]

What about XP 64-bit versions? We need to upgrade systems to 64-bit to access graphics out of the CAD system our engineers are using.

Upgrading the entire department to FM9 if necessary right now isn't an issue, but not being able to run FM at all in XP 64-bit will be...

FrameMaker automatically runs properly in 32-bit mode in Vista 64-bit and Windows 7
64-bit versions. There is nothing that you need to do to cause this to happen.
