hi all

i have win7 64 bit installed but on my harddrive it says programmfiles x86. And that means 32bit ?

Pretty much. If the program is 32-bit, it gets installed in the Program Files(x86) folder. If it is a 64-bit program, it is installed in the regular Program Files folder.

x86 refers to 32 bit. They are the same.

but my system is 64bit right?

It might be, which did you install? As mentioned above even a 64bit (x64) copy of windows will have a x86 program files folder. That's where all the older 32bit programs go.

Most software is still 32bit because they don't benefit from 64 bit. If you look at computer properties, it'll say if your os is 64 bit.
