Vista 32-bit

I just bought a computer with Windows Vista 64-bit preinstalled. I would
like to know if I could format the drive and install Windows Vista 32-bit
instead. Some of the software are not compatible with Vista 64-bit.

Thanks.

Try running the software in "Compatibilty Mode" first, if you haven't. Also
try 'Run as administrator'. It may work and then you don't have to bother
switching to 32-bit. Google the terms if you don't know what I am talking
about.
