An oddity occurs here. Yes, x86-64 is the right installer, maybe. While 
noting your msg, my PC got very slow, and I ended up going to a related 
site for the downloads of 3.2.2 while trying for the one above. 
<http://www.python.org/download/>.

It shows:
Also look at the detailed Python 3.2.2 page:

     * Python 3.2.2 Windows x86 MSI Installer (Windows binary -- does 
not include source)
     * Python 3.2.2 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (Windows AMD64 / Intel 
64 / X86-64 binary [1] -- does not include source)

The first of the two choices does not say x-bit anything. The second 
looks off course for my HP 64-bit PC.

I'm going to just use Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2).

Wait a minute Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2). Windows X86-64 MSI 
Installer (3.2.2) shows it's associated with Visual Studio.  Why would I 
want that? Ah, I get it The single first line has Windows X86-64 MSI 
Installer (3.2.2) and Visual Studio.  That's a really weird way to 
arrange them. OK, now off to Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2)

I'll be back shortly after I've made the install.
