Default New computer = problems

A couple of days ago I bought a new computer.
I tried to download RealPlayer, but got the message
that my 64-bit computer might not work with RealPlayer.

I guess I am not the only one with a computer like this.
Does anyone know what I can do?
And what does the 64 bit mean?

Thanks in advance,

trashcanman

You probably have Windows Vista 64 on it, and yes Real Player has problems with it. Who knows Microsoft probably did it on purpose the do not like Real having a proprietary format. But try this and you should be able to watch them using media player classic

Yes its because you have a 64bit OS. It has compatiblity problems with older software which were made for 32bit OSes (WinXp or older). The pc industry is doing a transition to 64bit (Windows 7 and Vista 64bit) because a limit for how much RAM memory can be used by a 32 bit OS (such as WinXp or Vista 32bit) has been reached.
