It's not, generally, possible to use 32-bit thingies to augment a 64-bit
doodah, unless there's a supported method of interfacing them (e.g.
wrappers for plugins).

64-bit computing is a different technique, it's not merely wider data.
So your choices are:  Go all 32-bit with the application, which is
possible, while still in a 64-bit OS; and it may even be possible to
install both 32- and 64-bit versions of a particular application.  Or,
go *all* 64-bit; use the 64-bit version, find 64-bit plugins for it.

The latter may be a bit hard when dealing with Windows files, as that
platform is lagging behind in using 64-bit.  Though, that shouldn't be
an issue with OGM, as that's hardly a Windows thing.

I wonder if you've tried using totem to play it?
