64-bit apps running in 32-bit mode?

I just installed Vista x64, so maybe I just haven't found some feature somewhere to fix this, but I installed the 64-bit version of Daemon Tools, but when I looked at the Task Manager, it's running in 32-bit mode. I've looked everywhere for people having the same issue, but I can't find anything anywhere about this. I've also tried installing a few other things that are supposed to be 64-bit programs, but they all want to install in the Program Files (x86) folder and even if I install them in the regular Program Files folder they still only run in 32-bit mode. Does anybody know why this is or how I can fix it?

agrajag9,

Vista x64 can run x32 or x64 programs. Only the drivers need to be 64 bit compatible. A lot of program developers make their programs as x32 for the most compatibility and only patch the x32 with x64 drivers when needed. It will work fine, but it would be better if they actual made the program itself 64 bit.

I think the problem is it requires them to buy the compilers for x64 and do some other changes... I am not sure about this, but i think the difference itself is in the compiling.
