I was wondering this for a while after looking at my device drivers on vista 64. A lot of them have system32 in them, would that suggest that these are in 32 bit drivers and not for the 64 bit OS that I am running? I have had some problems and I am pretty much lost on what it could be.

I am not certain, but I think that the 64-bit operating system still has some of those drivers for backward compatability. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here...Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Re: Drivers for Vista HP 64
From what I can see system32 is just a file name ... not a reference to 32 bit or 64 bit. I guess the makers of 64 bit windows could have renamed that file to system64 but why?
Looking at my drivers I was a bit surprised to see reference to "longhorn rtm" in a lot of the basic drivers (dvd driver, floppy disk controller, etc)!Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64
