HP Printer Driver

Hi everyone, I need to download a driver for my HP printer, but I'm a bit confused about my OS. The HP website is asking me to confirm whether my OS is windows vista or windows vista (64 bit). Asfar as I know, I have vista - I'm not aware of a 64 bit version. Can someone please tell me how I can find out which version I have.

    Thanks for your reply, but is there a way I can check to make sure, as I don't know the consequences of choosing the wrong version.

    To be sure press "start", right click on "computer" and choose the properties option.

    This will list all sorts of info on your system and it will tell you if you have 32 or 64 bit Vista installed.

    Nothing adverse will happen if you choose 32 bit. It will work on both. But 64 bit might not work, so if you don't know, choose 32 bit. Do you not have a sticker on your PC telling you what the processor is?
