after effects cs4 and winodws 7 64bit

[Todd Kopriva]

> I want to know how could i make sure that i installed after effects cs4 on windows 7 64bit correctly because windows 7 64bit can even accepts 32 bit softwares. how could i know that i did everthing correctly because i installed after effects and found it in program files (x86).

There is nothing wrong with what you describe. The Program Files (x86) directory is where 32-bit applications get installed on 64-bit Windows. After Effects CS4 is a 32-bit application.

> moreover,i think that after effects which is installed on windows 7 64bit and the one installed on another windows xp 32 are the same but i heard that there is a noticable difference between them.

It’s the same application. What’s different is that the 64-bit OS can see and use more memory, and that allows After Effects to more effectively take advantage of Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing.
