Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
Device drivers   designed for 32-bit versions of Windows won't work on computers running a 64-bit version of  Windows. If you're trying to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows

depends on what program.

AutoCAD - No.  Not with the newer versions (2010 and higher)
There is a work around, but you have to give up the ability to use any VisualLisp.
