I bought a new machine and installed Ulitmate 64bit. I have
discovered by reading the groups that 64bit is no good. Now how do I
put 32bit on?

Nobody says that 64bit is no good. What they do say is that some
consideration is needed especially in respect of driver availability for
some external devices and some 32bit programs.

Do you have a specific problem with Vista 64bit?

No, that's completely false. It may or may not give you any
substantial performance benefit, but it will not hurt you in any way.

If you installed the Retail 64-bit version, all you need to do is install
the 32-bit version over it. During the install, delete the partition,
create a new one and format it. I personally have used 64-bit versions for
3 1/2 years and agree with the previous posters.
