I don't have a 64-bit machine yet so can't test this. According to Microsoft, "Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs." (See 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions.)

What happens when the SCS tries to load the demo file? Does the program hang or throw an error?

Anyone else tried SCS on a 64-bit machine?

Hello, It Just Hangs, if I go to task manager it says "not responding" I run shows on my XP Pro laptop so it's not critical but I would like it to work.

Regards

I've just run SCS 10.6.2 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine without any problems, so I've emailed you a request for more information.
