    Many scanned maps are in SID 16 bit image format. MrSID that the government and other libraries are still using will run on 32 bit Windows XP.  I spent money on Vista 64 and don't want to have to spend more money to re-install Windows XP on this computer.  My son has the same MOBO and CPU running XP and MrSID runs on his system, but, not mine with Vista 64. Does anybody know how to get this standard to display for conversion to jpg or another format on this Vista 64 I have? example of the standard that I'm talking about can be seen at the following hyperlink, thanks for assistance.
