The level of each user depends on how much time he spends on the computer. Mastering is quite simple, and, over time, it happens more and more. In addition, the speed of completing tasks, their quality increases, and the printing speed also increases.
Sooner or later, each of us reaches a level where the installation of third-party programs is required.
Their application may be different, but it does not matter. So, sometimes during the installation process an error “is not a win32 application” occurs. Many novice users rush into a panic and do not understand what is the matter. But the fact is that the system’s capacity prevents the launch of the installation. Let's see what it is.
With the evolution of computers, operating systems have improved . Bit depth of the operating system is a vivid example of this. Now "let's get personal." In the late 80s, the first 32-bit processor was developed, which was able to process 32 bits of information simultaneously. This was a breakthrough in the field of information technology, which by the year 2000 led to the emergence of 64-bit processors.
Then the increase in the number of nuclei began, but this is a completely different story. So, it was customary to designate the capacity of the system as x86 and x64.
Using the first completely excludes the use of applications for the second, however, on the contrary - it is possible. The
capacity of the system directly affects the
performance of the computer, since the same number of operations is performed in large "batches". In a 64-bit operating system, for using applications of different bit sizes, there are two similar folders, one is a system folder for 32-bit applications, the other for 64-bit ones.
Now let's talk about how to know the capacity of the system. There are quite a few ways. To do this, there are many programs that are designed to diagnose the entire computer. In addition, there is a CCleaner application that cleans the PC of system junk. After installation, it will determine such parameters as the type and frequency of the processor, the amount of RAM and the installed operating system.
Naturally, there is another way to find out the capacity of the system. To do this, just go to "my computer" ("explorer" for Windows 7, 8). Then call the context menu and select the properties.
It is problematic to encounter 64-bit XP, this division began after the appearance and refinement of Windows 7, and then 8. If the computer has at least 1GB of RAM, then it is advisable to install only the 32-bit version, because it simply will not be able to work normally with 64-bit, it needs at least 2 GB of RAM. In addition, although the manufacturer claims that the processor must have a frequency of at least 1 GHz, it must be said that this figure slightly exceeds 1.5 GHz.
After reading this article, you should not be afraid of the error that was mentioned at the very beginning, because most programs are released for both bits, and you just need to show a little patience and skill to find the right one. Nothing complicated.
