Re: Downgrade - Vista Home Premium to XP

Thought as much - as I would only want to downgrade for a short time until
the compatibility issue wasnt so bad cant really justify buying another
windows licence. What about switching to the 32bit version is that possible
as I have now discovered the main program I require is 32bit compatible?
