I have a computer (IBuyPower 4g 64bit with Vista) and I can’t download Adobe Reader because it doesn’t like 64 bits. It wants 32.

How can I switch from 64 to 32, or do I have to get 32 Vista.

Mannnnnn! I friggin **hate** Vista.

Thanks for any help, kids.

Quit hating vista. It hears you and that’s why it’s messing with you.

Go there and hit download and then run it. I’m on vista 64 and it works for me.

Dear **Kinthalis** ,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! It has saved me from so much grief!

I talked to one guy at TigerDirect, where I got my computer, and he told me to wait for Windows7.

I talked to tech support at IBuy, and **he** told me to get IBuy customer service to send me Vista 32.

I asked **you** , and bless you - **you** fixed it!!!

So thanks so much. If you need a Grandpa, I’ll be the first in line!😃
