I installed ultimate as 64bit originally. Is there a way to downgrade
it to 32 bit w/out losing all my programs via complete start-over. I
have things backed up, but they are prog's that I installed on the
64bit platform.

No, there isn't. There are no in-place transitions between 32-bit and
64-bit operating systems, or vice versa. Your only course of action is a
clean installation.
