what is the file name of the .iso you downloaded? if it has a i386 on the end, it's 32 bit. if it has AMD64 on the end, it's a 64 bit version

You mean the ISO file? If it's got "i386" in the name, then its' 32-bit. If it's got "amd64" in the name, then it's 64-bit.

Ola! That's clear, but I installed Ubuntu with wubi and I don't remember the details; I even don't know if
I had saved the file or where I could find it. It must be possible to check the version without knowing the
downloaded file?! Dieter Klaus

Of course it's possible. Open a terminal and enter:
uname -m
If it displays "x86_64" then it's 64-bit, if it displays "i686", then it's 32-bit.
@Cameron W: See, great minds think alike! :) (But then, fools never differ! :) )
