Going from Windows Vista 64-bit to 32-bit

Hi,

How can I change my system from Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit to 32-bit?
It is an HP laptop and it only comes with recovery CD's is it possible to use my serial key to get a 32-bit copy of Windows Vista Ultimate?

Thanks!

Did the laptop come with Vista Ultimate 64 bit pre-installed or did you upgrade to 64bit after you got hte computer...if its the latter simply do a system recovery . Make sure to back up your files they all will be lost after the recovery
