I purchased an HP notebook with Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed. None of my
periferals work with the 64 bit processor.

Can I "downgrade" to the 32 bit version of Vista?

Thanks,
Craig.

You will need to do a clean install. You should contact HP and see if
they will take the machine back for an exchange or let you exchange your
64-bit restore disks for the 32-bit ones you want.

I have the same problem, hit the HP chat, and:

Rep: as your Notebook is preinstalled with vista64 bit there is no option
to get the vista32 disc from Hp.
Rep: However, you can purchase retail version of vista from microsoft
 
Please keep in mind that computers purchased from companies like Dell have
OEM Vista installed. This means you legally cannot move it to a new machine.
Thus you wouldn't be able to just trade the discs.
