| Vista Home Premium 64 bit | Needing help with vista 64 bit Dear guys I'm a new comer here and need some help. The point is that I'm really sick and tired of my vista home premium 64 bit running on a sony vaio fw 285.I can't even get a simple dictionary to run on this machine.I was wondering how I can swap the 64 with a 32 bit which is supposedly more flexible with softwares.In case of a clean instal what would happen to my VAIO factory-instaled applications.BTW I've already made the recovery/backup dvds. I appreciate any help and plz keep it simple as I'm not a pc pro. Thanks a million in advance. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Needing help with vista 64 bit Hello Mohsen, and welcome to Vista Forums. You can contact your computer OEM (Sony) to see if they will let you downgrade for free or for a small fee to get the 32-bit Vista DVD. Otherwise you will need to purchase a 32-bit Vista and use it instead to install on your OEM computer. The D: recovery partition will not be touched when you install the 32-bit Vista as long as you only select the C: drive to format and install the 32-bit Vista on. Hope this helps, Shawn |
