On a 64 bit system you usually have two Program Files one will say ;
Program Files - this is the 64bit version
Program Files x86 - this is the 32 bit version.
Does yours only have the one option?

I do have both folders 'Programs' and 'Programs x86', I believe you just answered my original question, so I should download the 64 bit as opposed to the 32 bit?
