kris2424: but how do I know it's 32bit?
Simple. Use the command "winecfg" and see if you can set your Windows version to, say, WIndows 98 or 95 in WIne's configuration utility. If yes, then you have a 32-bit prefix. If the oldest you can go is Windows XP, then you have a 64-bit prefix.

kris2424: Thanks! I did both:

kris@kris-Z97X-UD3H:~$ winecfg
kris@kris-Z97X-UD3H:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

and both go back to windows 2, so that must mean that the first .wine it created was 32bit, which I guess makes perfect sense since I am using the wine installed by playonlinux. Duh! Thanks! Now how do I remove the new prefix I created? I'll google...
Just erase the .wine folder you no longer need :)
