Best Free Windows 64-bit Software
|
Introduction
|
|
Here are the top freeware picks for 64-bit Windows in their various categories. This list will continue to grow as we add new categories and new products on most days. Go to the page index for the category you are interested in or read more about 64-bit Windows by following the links in the related articles. Where a product has a review in another category I will usually provide an excerpt from that review. Other comments will usually relate to 64-bit compatibility and operation. My primary goal is to find the best native 64-bit applications ( The secondary focus of this article is to identify 32-bit applications that are compatible with 64-bit Windows ( Although we do mention Windows XP Pro 64, all testing has been under Windows Vista 64-bit and 7 64-bit. Let me know if you have an idea for an application or category I could cover. Anyone can leave a comment at the bottom of this page, Registered users (free to anyone) can contact me in the forum under Contact Info or may post in the 64-bit Freeware forum. |
) in each category. Where a 64-bit application is recommended the Quick Selection Guide will only include details related to the 64-bit version and not the 32-bit version, if any.
). These 32-bit applications will usually run slower (due to emulation of the 32-bit environment) but are either the best in their class or have features that will be particularly useful to many 64-bit Windows users.|

You don't talk of Photofiltre http://photofiltre.free.fr/frames_en.htm I used it for a few years and be very happy with it, great freeware interface, for photo edition...
Only the portable version of Photofiltre is free. The installed version comes as a 30 day trial and is bundled with the unwanted Ask toolbar.
There is actually a free version of PhotoFiltre, on a different link. I have edited the link in the comment to point to that. However, I do not see any mention of a 64-bit version being available on their site.
You should look into Windows System Control Center (http://www.kls-soft.com/wscc/) for its ability to download both Sysinternals utilities and NirSoft utilities, with an option to DL 64bit utilities where available - and it comes in a portable version as well.
Rainlendar is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions, both free and Pro (see http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?option=com_rny_download&all=1). In contrast, I could not find a link for a 64bit-specific download for Money Manager EX (See http://www.codelathe.com/mmex/mmex_download.php)
That is all.
guyz... K-Lite Codec Pack 64 bit is here:
http://www.codecguide.com/klcp_64bit.htm
i didn't see, not even mentions about "Kingsoft office suite 2012 free" why is that?
I haven't tried it yet.
As of about a week ago I no longer get sound on YouTube videos (though other videos - marketing, on websites, etc. work fine). I researched the problem and did all the obvious stuff (like checking settings - duh) and nothing has worked so far. I read somewhere that it would be a registry problem so I came here (have gotten lots of great stuff here several times before) looking for something to check the registry with but there are too many choices! I already have CCCleaner installed but from what I read it is not the best registry cleaner. I also downloaded and scanned with WiseFix (161 registry errors?!) but removed it when I discovered it cost almost $40.
Does anyone have experience with the problem that could tell me what program to use to try and fix it? Or is there something else besides a registry cleaner I should be doing to fix it?
Thanks :)
Your technical support problems are better resolved in dedicated support forums. In those forums you should at least say what versions of software you are using: operating system (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1), browser (e.g. Firefox 8.0a) and, in this case, Adobe Flash Player (e.g. 11.1.102.55).
I won't be providing that sort of help here but I will try to clarify your understanding by saying A registry cleaner should not be used to fix a registry problem for software you are actively using. Instead follow these three steps.
1. Check the controls and settings to make sure that you haven't turned the sound off.
2. Clear or reset any setting or temporary file that might be the cause of the problem.
CCleaner is useful for resolving many problems with browsers (including add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, etc) because it cleans up all the files and settings to return the browser to a near-pristine state. Here's some examples. It can clear your DNS caches so web pages no longer take ages to find. It can remove files and reset settings that are causing your YouTube videos to play without sound.
3. Install or reinstall software to get the latest version with the correct registry settings.
For most software, simply installing the latest version should do this but some software will have to be uninstalled and then installed. In your case the software with the problem is most likely to be the Adobe Flash Player plug-in to your web browser.
CCleaner is not a "deep" registry cleaner as it largely limits itself to cleaning up the loose-ends from installs and uninstalls. CCleaner registry cleaning is not cleaning any parts of active and dependent applications. So, if Wise detects 160 issues then CCleaner will likely find only 10 or so (and most of those will not be issues detected by Wise).
In your case, CCleaner registry cleaning might be useful after uninstalling software and before installing the latest version.
Love this article. I'm very interested in the latest and best 64 bit software.
I've recently installed the 64 bit version of Waterfox 9 and it is blazing fast. Blew away google chrome on my machine.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Hi all,
For Video capture, editing & conversions, VirtualDub 64 bit is also available for Windows...
Download link is:
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
Thanks,
SS
There is a 64bit version of cdburnerXP that should be included in the cd/dvd burner section. You have to go digging for it on the website. When you go to the cdburnerxp download page
http://cdburnerxp.se/en/download
Instead of clicking the download button, click the link underneath that says "More download options" You will then see listed 32/64 bit default installers (with open candy), 32/64bit installers without open candy and 32/64bit zip portable versions.
Theres a 32bit MSI installer but no 64bit MSI unfortunately :-(
Thanks. I'll try it out.
Just a heads up to let you all know that Comodo CIS 5.9 has just been released.
Thanks for letting us know about the CIS update. Greatly appreciated.
For the category "Best Free Windows 64-bit CD and DVD Burner"... There are of InfraRecorder available in 64bit ^_-
Other than that... There is no category "Best Free Windows 64-bit Audio Player" ?! *O*
Me again x'D
For the category "Best Free Windows 64-bit Non-Adobe PDF Reader"... There 'NitroPDF Reader' in 64bits, also including the plug-in for IE FF and Chrome ^_-
Thanks for InfraRecorder and picking up my mistake: I evaluated 64-bit NitroPDF but, for some reason, referred to the 32-bit version.
Thanks for that advice
i would like to download ths software..how?
What problem are you having?
This is a review spread across several pages. Select the category you want to look at and go to that page. The page will list various sub-categories with reviews of recommended products. At end of the reviews is a Quick Selection Guide that contains all the download links.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/doublecmd/files/
The 64 bit download serves only the 32 bit version.
The 64 bit download is available at:
http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/
Thanks for picking up my mistake.
Are you kidding us? iTunes????
that thing is intrusive, spies on the users activities, music and video files and calls back home, and here we have it as recommended?
For the welfare of the users, please remove that abomination... that thing from this useful site.
Not kidding, and I knew it wouldn't take long for this to be pilloried. :)
As you've rightly pointed out there are hidden costs to using Apple products and iTunes is no different.
The problem in this category is that 64-bit applications for 64-bit Windows are curtailed so I will list as many as I can with appropriate ratings.
iTunes is recommended as an option for those who want a free 64-bit media player as it caters for the many with Apple devices. Daum PotPlayer and Media Player Classic are superior in many ways but they don't do much with iPods, iPads, and iPhones.
In future, I may move it to a special category for products that support Apple products. Handbrake is another Apple-oriented application.
Take a look at Lazarus/FreePascal. It is the first 64 bit compiler for windows, and a nice RAD/IDE.
Thanks for that. I'll try them out.
What is wrong with Pale Moon x64 (Mozilla 7.0.1 at the time of writing) http://www.palemoon.org/palemoon-x64.shtml Flash x64 is also pretty usable now, even if it is still Beta. ;)
