By default, the x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003
and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition use the 64-bit MMC snap-in. However,
you may occasionally require the 32-bit MMC snap-in to successfully run MMC
snap-ins in the WOW64 subsystem.
A MMC snap-in can contain other MMC
snap-ins. When you start a 64-bit MMC snap-in that contains a 32-bit MMC
snap-in, a dialog box is displayed that prompts you to choose between the
64-bit MMC snap-in and the 32-bit MMC snap-in.
Technical support for Windows x64 editions
Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and
assistance for Microsoft Windows x64 editions. Your hardware manufacturer
provides support because a Windows x64 edition was included with your hardware.
Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the Windows x64 edition
installation with unique components. Unique components might include specific
device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance
of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you
need technical help with your Windows x64 edition. However, you might have to
contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to
support the software that your manufacturer installed on the
hardware.
