Windows2008R2 and filePro

[Ryan Powers]

I'm sure this question has probably come up before. I have a client of a
client, he has 5 workstations sharing a drive containing filePro 5.0.0.9 and
Java 1.6.  

For years they were using Windows Small Business Server 2003 and everything
was running fine. They recently upgraded to Windows2008R2 (64-bit). 

When one person is running the program, the speed is slower than before.
When more than one is using it, it slows to a crawl. Their IT guy has run
diagnostics and says that the server is hardly being tasked.

So, my client wants to know if this is a question of having to upgrade to
64-bit filePro. The IT guy of course thinks so, since "64-bit servers aren't
meant to run 16-bit programs".

I don't see the logic behind this unless the server is doing something
stupid in order to be backwards compatible with 32-bit I/O calls. 

Any suggestions?
