Testing on Windows 7 64 bit

If you are trying to get your current .NET code running on a 64 bit system (in my case windows 7 x64) there is a problem loading DLLs If your app needs to load a 32-bit DLL, using LoadLibrary then you'll often find that it fails and the returned pointer is always NULL! This happens if the project target is 'x64' or 'all'. You need to set the build options to build for x32 chips only. That will allow the 32 bit DLLs to be picked up again.
