sure it can. I’m running on Windows 7 x64 for long time. Almost any x86 application can run under 64-bit OS (with 16-bit it’s different story).They just run in x86 mode in emulator. Also installed x86 applications have dedicated folder in x64 OS:
x64 Applications: C:\Program Files or %ProgramFiles%
x86 Applications: C:\Program Files (x86) or %ProgramFiles(x86)%
I am having same problem with Notepad++ crashing constantly on a machine I just started using it on. It freezes, does not respond, and has to be killed with Task Manager. I’m running Windows 8.1 64 bit with all the latest updates. Any ideas? I don’t see a place to look for reported bugs.
Problem solved: Notepad++ needed to be restarted after installing WinCompose. (Notepad++ obviously hooks into the keyboard handling at quite a deep level – it also needs to be restarted after changing keyboard layout.)
Sourceforge is no longer used for Notepad++. Issues for Notepad++ can be created here on Github. Also, it looks like this exact issue has already been reported.
@tomas-chrastina Thanks very much for your help! This solved my issues! Also, after trying this, I noticed that right-clicking within the text box shows a “right-to-left reading order” toggle.
