Have XP Home Edition V 2002 Service Pack 3. How many bits do I have? 64 or 32. I am running this on a Nobilis lap top.

If I click on Computer/Properties it is not listed there.  I'm told this is because this is a non-traditional brand of computer.  I need to know how many bits this computer has--64 or 32.  My newer computers with XP and With Windows 7 respectively, are not compatible with my sewing machine software.  An expert for the sewing people thinks it may be because my newer machines have 64 bits.  I know the Windows 7 has 64, but am unable to tell what the XP laptop has.  I do know the laptop has Service Pack 3 installed, and the older computer that was compatible with the sewing software (very old) had XP 2002 with Service pack 2 installed.  I also know that the old computer had only 32 bits.   Do you think that the Service Pack number  would have anything to do with the computer not recognizing the older sewing machine software?

    All versions of Windows XP Home are 32-bit.

    It is highly unlikely that the presence of Service Pack 3 is playing any role here (but I suppose anything is possible).

    What is the name of the software? Have you contacted that company for support?

    It sounds like you have three PCs: an old 32-bit PC with Windows XP at the out-of-date SP2 level, a newer 32-bit PC with XP Home at the proper SP3 level, and a newer PC with Windows 7 (which is 64-bit). Which version of Windows 7 are you running: Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate?

    Have you tried running it in Compatibility Mode? For Windows XP:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456979.aspx

    Do a search on the specs for your Make/Model specifically

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on my newest main computer.  The sewing machine software is from Sears and the software says "Kenmore, R/W Soft PC-Link 19000.  Ver. 1.2.  The disk also states it is compatible with Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000.  I contacted sears and they say they do not have a patch for this.   I have a sinking feeling that I am stuck with a $4,000 embroidery machine that will not work compatibly with my newer computers.  I am kind of sick about this.
