PSCS5 vs 32 bit plugins

Hi Gang,

So, I just bought a new computer running Windows 7 (Intel Core i5 2300 processor, 6 gigs of RAM, 1.5 TB hard drive):barb.

I also downloaded and installed PS CS5 and moved my plugins, filters, actions, etc from the old computer to the CS5 plugins folders. However the filters refused to show up in the filters drop down menu in CS5.

I have since read that 32 bit plugins will not run in the 64 bit version of CS5 which is a real bummer since I use certain filters, especially Noiseware Professional, very often.

I've poked around to find a 32 bit version of CS5 but haven't seen one. Does one exist? Or, do I have to go back to CS3 to use my filters? Or, is there another solution? Or, did I just screw up somewhere along the line?

As always, thanks for your help.


EDIT:
Never mind, I think. I just learned how to open CS5 in 32 bit mode and the filters show up just fine now.

    Noiseware has a 64-bit version for Windows.

    CS5 can be opened in ether 32 bit or 64 bit mode.

    I can't remember how to do it right now, but I seem to remember right clicking on the program file and going to preferences, then choosing.
