Of course I'm not saying that it can't happen, but it's definitely not common.

What is the software that you're having problems with?
16 bit software stopped running "out of the box" with Windows 7 64 bit. Microsoft even tried to stop running 32 bit software, but the hue and cry was too much and they released a 32 bit emulator.

Word 97? Funny, it does everything I want in a word processor....
