| | From 64-Bit back to 32-Bit I just purchased a HP tx2000 Table PC with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. However, I got a Palm Treo 680 that only works with 32-Bit. I need to find a way to change my operating system down to 32-Bit. Please advise how and/or where? |

| | Re: From 64-Bit back to 32-Bit I know that you can't install the 64 bit version as an upgrade to 32 bit, and I'm pretty sure that you can't go from 64 to 32. A clean install of the 32 bit OS is probably the only way. Contact HP. They may be able to supply installation media for the lowest price, if you think it's worth the trouble. Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

| | Re: From 64-Bit back to 32-Bit You would need to check with HP to see if they will provide a 32-bit version of Windows for your tablet, and you'll have to wipe the tablet and start all over when you install it - no "downgrade" to 32-bit is possible from a 64-bit OS. -- Richard G.

Here are more details: Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! - Windows Hotsync - Community Help Forums Make sure to get the x64 BT drivers for your Tablet. If you don't have BT there are ones that fit into the USB drives and don't even stick out more then a millimeter or two!  Besides, forget Vista 32 bit...it is junk. |
