SOLVED: There is not really any solution I was looking for. Read the replies for a possible, if exensive solution.

Is there any way to run my 64bit version of vista as if it were 32bit, without requiring a large amount of time to switch from 32 to 64bit?

I'm having a problem which is related to me using 64bit on a 32bit only program - those who have 32bit systems don't experience it, yet every 64bit person does.
So, anyway to do this? +rep

I'm pretty sure you cannot do this, unless you install a 32-Bit OS and Dual Boot it in conjunction with your 64 Bit version or use Virtual Machine.

What program is it by the way, if I may ask?

Indeed, that's not possible. If you've got an OEM Vista license, it's either 32 bit or 64 bit. If you want both, you'll have to purchase a second license. A retail copy may be installed as either 32 or 64 bit.

Additionally, if you'd like to run a 32 bit version inside a virtual machine on your 64 bit host, you'll need a separate license for it.

Shame.
Anthrax - I need to do this as when you import an OBJ on a 32-bit program when using a 64bit system, it will strange import errors (vertices in wrong position) when using booleans.

If I import the obj into a 64bit program, it displays correctly. However, the programs I use are 32bit only.
