computer it automatically comes up with a mesage saying : Setup can not run
on this version of the Operating System. to install Windows please try
booting from the install media. This message keeps pooting up whenever i but

What did you do to fix that problem?
And do you think it will help if I download the 32-bit?

It
sounds like you're trying to run the installer under your existing version of
Windows. If your BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD, enable this option and
restart your computer. The burnt DVD should be detected and the system will
boot from this DVD, rather than from your hard disk.

If your BIOS does not
support booting from CD/DVD, you will either have to upgrade it or make some
boot floppy disks.
 
Just curious - but your current OS is 64 bit?
