That's unfortunate. I use my virus to add new texture and sounds to my orchestral compositions. So I'm switching exclusively to 64-bit so I can take advantage of the extra memory allocations to load my entire orchestra into RAM.

Anyone know of a way that I can install the drivers on XP64 to possibly use in a wrapper or bit bridge?

just be carefull with installing 32bit drivers on a 64bit OS,
since they may render your OS unbootable ...

the only possible workaround i could image would be:
to install the 32bit drivers on a 32bit machine ...
and the connect them over Wormhole VST into your 64bit studio.

would recommend a shielded cross-link cable for that,
because this way it would be a direct connection.

have no experience with it ... it's just an idea

Increase your "page file" size... that'll help you to load your orchestral samples... it'll increase your virtual ram. It works.

virtual RAM = poor performance

also problematic with timing, due permanent harddisc access.

... definitely not recommend for an application like this.
