| | 64-bit versus 32-bit Vista On Windows Vista Compatibility Center http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/ is a list of 32-bit/64-drivers and compatibility. Non-compatible drivers to Vista 64-bit is apparently still a problem no matter what is listed on the Windows Vista compatibility page. I've just bough a PC with the i7 Intel processor, 6 GB RAM including the 64-bit Vista version. According to my net-bank using Java from Sun Microsystem I have to use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer if I wanna use the net-bank since the drivers are not compatible to the 64-bit version. 3 questions: How do I force the installation of Internet Explorer to be 32-bit and not 64-bit version? Is there a trick to have both Internet Explorer 32- bit and 64-bit on the same PC? Do I have to have another PC with 32-bit Vista if I wanna use programs with 32-bit drivers not compatible to Vista 64-bit, or is it possible to configure the PC to have both 32-bit Vista and 64-bit Vista? |

| | Re: 64-bit versus 32-bit Vista The standard browser in 64 bit Vista IS a 32 bit program. You have to purposefully start the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, which does not allow flash player to operate. It will say Internet Explorer (64 bit). So, if you can not access your banking site with the 32 bit version of I.E. you do not have Adobe Flash Player installed or the install is corrupted somehow. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "MAT" <non-exit@xxxxxx-exit.com> wrote in message news:%23cMlyVqEKHA.4316@xxxxxx Quote: > On Windows Vista Compatibility Center > http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/ is a list of > 32-bit/64-drivers and compatibility. > > Non-compatible drivers to Vista 64-bit is apparently still a problem no > matter what is listed on the Windows Vista compatibility page. > > I've just bough a PC with the i7 Intel processor, 6 GB RAM including the > 64-bit Vista version. > > According to my net-bank using Java from Sun Microsystem I have to use the > 32-bit version of Internet Explorer if I wanna use the net-bank since the > drivers are not compatible to the 64-bit version. > > 3 questions: > How do I force the installation of Internet Explorer to be 32-bit and not > 64-bit version? > > Is there a trick to have both Internet Explorer 32- bit and 64-bit on the > same PC? > > Do I have to have another PC with 32-bit Vista if I wanna use programs > with 32-bit drivers not compatible to Vista 64-bit, > or is it possible to configure the PC to have both 32-bit Vista and 64-bit > Vista? |

| | Re: 64-bit versus 32-bit Vista Thanks for prompt answer: I'll continue using the 32-bit version of IE8 using the 64-bit Vista and see if I have access to my bank account when I receive my new security code (to the new PC). I didn't know that IE as standard was 32 bit and that the flash player was the issue. Concerning the flash player according to the Windows Vista compatibility page Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10 are 64-bit compatible http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...ayer&os=64-bit "Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS@xxxxxx> skrev i meddelelsen news:%23EiNgcqEKHA.4316@xxxxxx Quote: > The standard browser in 64 bit Vista IS a 32 bit program.

| | Re: 64-bit versus 32-bit Vista Hi again: According to this link to Adobe http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ Adobe Flash Player 10 released 7/30/09 is 64-bit compatible (4 days ago). Version 10.0.32.18 is downloadable from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ The other link (mentioned earlier in this thread) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html indicating that Adobe Flash Player 10 is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser, was apparently an old information last updated 2008-10-14.
