Hi,

I recently purchased a Vista 32 Bit Home Premium operating system on a new
Dell computer. It was much faster than my old XP but some of my multi-media
software would still freeze on me.

So I purchased a 64 Bit Vista operating system. I now have both the 32 Bit
Vista and the 64 Bit Vista installed on my new Dell computer. But I can only
log into one operating system at a time.

But after getting all of that set up I am seeing that the available memory
on my 64 Bit Vista hovers between 40% to 65% compared to my 32 Bit Vista
which hovers between 75% to 100%. So I am expecting more software freezes and
other such problems from the 64 Bit OS.

I have ordered additional memory and hopefully that will help.

But in case it does not do that much I am hoping that I can create a Shared
Network between the two operating systems and that I would then be able to
access my software that is installed on my 64 Bit OS from my 32 Bit OS and
visa versa.

On my 64 Bit Vista - My Drive L is my 32 Bit Vista's C Drive. The Main drive
on my 64 Bit Vista is C of course.

On my 32 Bit Vista - My Drive D is my 64 Bit Vista's C Drive. Drive C is my
32 Bit Vista's main drive (which is Drive L on my 64 Bit Vista).

So my question is, how would I set up a Shared Network between the two
operating systems so that I could access the software that resides on one OS
from the other OS?

Any help would be appreciated from anyone who can wrap their head around all
this :-)

Thanks,

You have to have the Software Programs installed on both operating Systems.

Hi Mick,

Is there any way around that?

The licensing on some software only allows it on one computer.

Would a Shared Network not give me access to the software installed on my
other OS on my computer?

No!
You do not have a Server/Client setup on your computer!
You have 2 partitions,
2 Operating Systems, and you will be dual booting!
There is no way around it!
You boot into 1 or the other.
All your software has to be installed on both OSs (such as Office, Adobe,
flash, etc)
They are totally indepentent of each other..
