You might have already solved this problem.

To speed things up with the rather slow Nikon Capture 4.4, I got a new
computer with a few GB of memory running WinXP x64. Now the issues:

1) The trial verison works fine.
2) My old Nikon Capture 4.1 does not install. After running install in
XP compatibilty mode, I was able to install the SW, but it does not run
and hence I cannot install the old-style license key.
3) The new version 4.4 does not understand the old-style license key.
4) In the US, Nikon seems to have terminated all its e-mail accounts
for customer support.

Great. I have to buy a new license since Nikon does not support 64-bit
Windows issues at all. Downgrading back to 32-bit XP is certainly a
solution. But I would like to keep the 64-bit version installed. Buy a
new license key for $99 is another option.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gregor

Great, isn't it? You could re-install W32, install Capture 4.1, upgrade
to 4.4, then reinstall W64 if it does not force you to erase your disk.

Alternatively, if you really do have to buy a license key, get Capture
NX instead.

You might consider investigating the massive incompatibility issues between
Win64 and 32 bit Windows programs. A large number of multimedia, video,
CD/DVD authoring programs simply will not run or will not run properly on
Win64. Antivirus and other tools are even more problematic with great
variations in compatibility relating to even minor hardware variations.
I am not aware of any color calibration devices with Win64 drivers either
although perhaps you have found one? One can transfer a monitor profile
created in Win32 but there is no certainty it will be accurate because you
are running a different video driver with Win64.
The reality is that there is absolutely no benefit to running Win64 outside
of specific server applications, because of its larger memory range, for
desktop use.
Reinvent that wheel for yourself.

It's called progress! Avoid at all costs! What's so special about Nikon
Capture anyway? I am managing to live without it since my 30-day trial
expired. Get a life!

Thanks for all the input.

What worked for me is to continue trying Nikon's customer support page.
I finally reached (via e-mail) a friendly employee you told me what to
do. I had to submit a picture of the license card with a request to
have a numerical passcode issued. After entering this passcode, NC
4.4.2 works great on WinXP x64.

I just read that also PS CS2 uses 3GB plus an additional 1GB for macros
etc. when recognizing an x64 architecture. Additionally, monitor
profiles and printer profiles work without an issue. Epson has even
updated their drivers for x64 for their photo printers. - Well, I am
glad that I upgraded. It seems that x64 is no longer the future. It's
the present. Next stop, get a beta of PS for x64. I assume that it soon
will be announced around the time when Vista for x64 hits the market.
According to MS$, Vista supports a decent model for capturing and
managing profiles.
