I am moving from XP to 64-bit Vista and I'm wondering if certain driver
programs will work...

For example, I use MagicISO's virtual CD/DVD driver.

And I use FinePrint virtual printer driver.

Will they still work?

Thanks!

In general, no.

However, there appear to be Vista X64 compatible versions of both. I suggest
that you contact the manufacturers as to the costs of the upgrades.

They are called "drivers," not "driver programs." If you are referring to
the drivers you've used under 32-bit XP, not they will not work under 64-bit
Vista. You need to get the new appropraite 64-bit Vista drivers for the
hardware. If those drivers are not available, you won't be able to use those
pieces of hardware.
