Acad 2007 with Vista 64 bit

(OP)
Does anyone know how to run Acad 2007 on Vista 64 bit system? What Marks625 suggested seams to work, but i can't register the product (for the activation code) because it locks up at one of the pop-ups, when i hit next. If i don't register it, it runs fine, but you only have 30 days. A couple years ago Marks625 wrote:

RE: Acad 2007 with Vista 64 bit

AutoCAD only runs on Vista 64 bit in 32 bit compatibility mode. Not sure how to implement that, though... Try the Autodesk forums or the AUGI (Autodesk User Group International) forums.
