c++ visual-studio-2010 64-bit configurationmanager building

I am currently trying to build a project for a 64 bit computer, but the configuration manager doesn't list 64 bit as an option. It gives me Win32, but no x64 (under "Platform"). I am using Visual Studio 2010 C++ Express.

It works on my other computer, but not this one. Most everything I have read has been saying to go up to the "Active Solution platform" drop down, and add 'x64' to it. I have tried that, but it still only lists Win32.
