No, there's no problem with 64bit.

Try to turn on "true drive emulation".

"Just won't load" is useless. How are you trying to load them? What is going wrong?

I've not had a problem with WinVice 1.15, 1.19, or 2.3 (the 64 bit version yay!)
I even have had the 1.19 version with tcpser, Image 1.2a setup bundle, (I believe put together by Mr. Brain) up and running without a hitch.
Are you Attaching, the .d64 then typing LOAD"*",8?
or are you Autostarting an image?

Thank you friends. i just managed to load all the games with the first option on the menu - something like automatically load or autostart option ( i dont remember the correct command).

as for now everything works great as it did on the 32bit OS.

Well, personally, I have a problem with WinVice on 64-bit that I can't seem to fix at the moment.

I'm using a Quad Core (Q6600) running on 64-bit Windows 7 Pro, with a Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR motherboard with an added in Parallel port (attached to the mobo header).

Can't seem to get the darn thing to read my disk drive, True Drive Emulation on ... does anyone have the proper parallel port settings that will get this puppy to run?

Like to see how this thing works on 7.

All the best, folks,

Curt
