(1) *Only applications* can show the "_Open in 32-bit mode_" option.
If you are using "Get Info" on some other filetype, not seeing 32-bit is expected. However, you should still see the Get Info window.
(2) Test as follows: select any application's iCon by clicking once on it in your Mac's "Applications" folder. Then hold down the "⌘" key and tap the "i " key once. The Get Info window should open.
(3) Having used the process in (2), if you still see "... nothing comes up ..."  
Does that mean that no Get Info window opens?
If you are uncertain that you are seeing a Get Info window, here is a picture of one:
  (Yours will contain different information.) 
(4) If you do not see any "Get Info" window, try using the *File > Get Info* menu command instead of the "⌘ i" keyboard shortcut.

I do not understand this.
(5) If this paragraph is still related to your +Get Info+ problem, see the suggestions above.
(6) If this paragraph relates to "download issues", please provide some explanation of the problem.
(7) If this paragraph is still about help with More iChat Effects problems, my best suggestion is you carefully follow the developer's uninstall instructions to remove this third-party add-on if it will not work with the Mac OS.
If you want keep trying to use MiE with SL, take a look at this recent thread about the same 32-bit and color-inverted problems you mention for other suggestions:
