Hi all,
Am back to square one with my recent instal of VISTA PREMIUM X64 BIT.
The only problem i have encountered so far with x64 bit explorer is the inability to play or display flash content.
I am aware that ADOBE are working towards a cross platform solution to the x64 bit problem in 64bit explorer and despite yesterdays release of the beta version of flash player 10 with this fix, , its only available for LINUX users.
The true cross platform release isnt to be seen anywhere on the horizon just yet and as such, i am still stuck with a x64 bit internet explorer that doesnt display ANY flash content. I thought that going x64 would bring an improvement to my pc, and always presumed that x64 was the next big step up and finaly see the end of 32bit operating systems altogether.
Quite obviously i was wrong and it seem to be evident from the rumour mill that most research funding is at this moment, is geared towards 128bit and even 256bit operations , , posibly spending little on the present 64bit problems , , , the rumour mill is as always subject to scrutiny and it has to be remembered that rumours like this abound all the time, , it does however lay a few seeds of thought ! !
Anyway, , my real question is , , , How do i get to use 32 bit internet explorer on my fully 64bit operating system ? ?
I know that 32 bit explorer WILL work on x64 vista OS, but i only have the option to use the installed 64bit explorer.
Contrary to popular belief, , there was NO option during the install to opt for either 32 bit or 64 bit explorer, , i wasnt given a choice and although i love my 64 bit system and have NO hardware or software faults so far (apart from flash) i want to keep it.
I just want flash content to be displayed, , , , for gods sake, , i cant even view or use the embedded player on MY OWN WEBSITE, , !
How do i get 32 bit explorer to work in a system that only presently has 64bit explorer ? ? ?
Or better all round question, if it can be answered, , , , , when is ADOBE going to release FLASH PLAYER 10 with the full cross platform version for x64 compatibility, , any ideas when this might be, , beta or otherwise ? ? ?
Would very much welcome any answers, , clarity , or indeed , further debate.
Many thanks, , kev
