I Think Though your not a gamer that you should use and keep Windows 7 64 Bit. From how old you computer is it will have 95% chance of having 64 bit processor. and this is what 64 BIT versions of windows need. My other thing is 32 BIT can use up 3 GB ram where as 64 BIT can use over 3GB which will last you for years.

Thank you Coco. I think I am now convinced that I should retain the 64 bit. I was hoping that it would be simple task to sort out the problems with my computer, but now realise I need professional help. The computer is less than 4 months old, and so is under warranty. Not keen on PC World, but that is where I will have to take it. I am certain the problem is linked with my transfer of files, and the upgrade to W7, but we will see. Thanks for all your imputs.

I'm not too keen on PC World either, although I'm a forum member, and receive tons of emails from them. Some is useful, some is old stuff and some is just plain old common since. But you should keep the 64 bit OS, because it's the future for Microsoft. There will be no more 32 bit releases, period. Should you step down to 32 bit Windows 7, most likely the OS will live as long as the computer does, but it wouldn't hurt to retain 64 bit OS. Should you need help, there's plenty of it here, just post it. Welcome to the forums, Cookie!

Many thanks for comment catilley1092, and for the welcome. Obviously I must use the warranty facility, but I can see myself making use of this forum in the future - so many willing and helpful posters. Maybe one day I may be able to offer some help to others, instead of just taking it!
