Right click "computer" and select properties, it will state either 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS under System Type.

I didn't know it was 64 bit until I saw it on the invioce. it wasn't
something that was rewuested it was just put on there.
"64 Vista comes with both the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of IE.
So you may be running the 32 bit version of IE8 on your 64 bit OS."
but why wouly it say in the computer system info that is running a 32 bit
Operating system when it is 64? and where can I find out if it is 64 or not.
