Q: Can I install MM or Metrix3 on a 64 bit operating system?
A: Yes and no. MM and Metrix3 are 16 bit programs, so they cannot run directly on a 64 bit operating system. There is a way around this. This method allows you to run MarketManager on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate (not Home Professional).
See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ for support with the XP emulator.
