What's the problem?  I don't understand why once you've got a 64 bit 
processor you'd want to play the 32 bit version.  What's preferable 
about the 32 bit version?
Are you running 32 bit Windows still or in your buying frenzy did you 
pick up an oem copy of XP Pro 64 bit?  Looks like Microsoft lets you 
download a trial version.  Wonder what the heck that is.
