Bummer. Thanks for the quick reply though. One more question, is it possible to downgrade my 64bit to a 32bit?

Most hardware for quite a while has been 64bit.
To upgrade or downgrade 32bit/64bit you need to do a clean install so back up your files to another drive/external drive.

You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
