When I installed the trial version my computer crashed to the point where I had to hit the power button. I am running NOD32 in the background and I think that was the
problem. However, I thought since it was an anti-spyware program, it wouldn't interfere.

For example, after hitting the power button, the AVG icon appear in my taskbar, but NOD32 wouldn't start.

Do I have to uncheck the resident when I install? I just don't want to try the install again untill I get some feedback.

AVG Anti-Spyware and NOD32 are perfectly compatible, I have both open and monitoring all the time. Are you sure you didn't install anti-virus? You can only use one anti-virus.

Oops, you're right, I download AVG anti-MALWARE

Now I have another problem

AVG anti-spyware is unsupported in the 64 bit version of Vista. Is there a way I can make it work?

Probably not.
Application compatibility is why most places still say its better to use 32bit vista.

I remember a post that had a microsoft link that would allow users to download a 64 bit version if the user had a 32-bit
Vista, can the opposite also happen?

I don't know, but you could probably call MS and ask.
