Hi Mary,
Yes PD9 can be installed onto a 32bit set up.
If you provide a diagnostic file members can give you some additional help and check out your PC's capability.

Hi Marym

Welcome to the forum

After you have performed the request from Dafydd try downloading the trial version first to see if your computer is suitable.

Hi Mary,
Please attach the one version you have - that's ok.

Hi Mary,
I recently upgrade my computer. Before I had Windows 7 Premium 32Bit and installed PD9 Ultra and it loaded the 32bit system files. Then When I got my new Computer windows 7 Premium 63Bit i7 2600 processor and loaded PD9 Ultra it loaded the 64bit version and all the bells and whistles. The PD9 Ultra when installing install the files needed as per your system specs, be it 32 or 64 bit.
The 64bit has a few more options for the program.
