How to run a 32-bit .exe on 64-bit?

Here is my problem, I have a small executable that only works in 32bit (windows 7 64 bits tells me it's not compatible with 64bit...) is there a way to run it anyway? =/.. thank you in advance! =)

never tested (I'm still on xp) but I would follow this logic:
I'd create a shortcut then right-click on the shortcut, properties, and look for the xp compatibility options, confirm then launch the shortcut.

I can't help you because when I install 32-bit software on my 64-bit seven, it installs correctly except it places it in a folder "programme X86"

that's what happens for most of them, but not this one.. :/

@Oops: you can do it without a shortcut, already tried without success... :/

Often it's because your program is 16-bit, it can't work on a 64-bit windows...
