Programs, yes. Drivers, no. Especially drivers that interact with the kernel. The 64bit Windows kernels do not offer any sort of compatibility with 32bit drivers, therefore if you do not have 64bit drivers, you cannot use your device. This is why I was unable to get my EyeToy camera to work under a 64bit OS--because D-Link never released 64bit versions of the compatible drivers (And wanted me to buy a newer camera).
