Is it possible to change a Windows 7 64-bit computer to a 32-bit?

[jb10061990]

I have had my Windows 7 computer since December 2009, and it has worked perfectly for the last year. I was positive that my computer was a 32-bit, because I had checked by right-clicking the 'Computer' button from the start menu. But, starting on December 29, 2010, none of my programs would open correctly. The only program I can open is Internet Explorer 64-bit. I checked the computer settings, and it now states that my computer is a 64-bit, which makes no sense to me. I cannot open Media Player or any other programs I've downloaded.

Is it possible to change a Windows 7 computer from 64-bit back to a 32-bit? If someone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it :D

Welcome
There is only one way and that is to take your 32 bit DVD and reinstall. I never heard of such a problem. Does someone have access to your computer?
You must do a clean install with format to go to 32. I really dont think, with the circumstances what you are saying is even possible

Alright, I see. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a DVD with this computer. I'll have to go out and buy one. Thank you for helping me

There is another way
If the computer came with Seven, you can restore to factory specs.
