Question

FLV and Flash Player?

I have Vista Business and just downloaded latest Flash Player.  Won't run, and I can't find Flash through 'browse' window.  Any ideas? (I am sure it is obvious to someone!?!)

    There is no 64-bit version of adobe flash. I'm saying you need to run a 32-bit version of your browser.

    Again, thanks John. But if I am running a 32-bit version of Vista

    (which I am), then surely the browser (IE) would also be 32-bit?

    I'm not sure why Adboe doesn't make this clear with so many people having issues with flash and vista. Perhaps they aren't even aware, I really don't know.

    However, flash will have compatibility issues if you're running the 64-bit version of your browser, as it only has a 32-bit edition. So you have to install a 32-bit edition in order not to have any sustaining issues. Most people do unknowingly run the 32-bit version of our browser, but if you have business edition, you may have installed the 64-bit.

    Thanks, John

    I am not sure which version I have as I just downloaded the free version from the Adobe web site and did not notice anything about 32 or 64 bit options (but then I was not looking for them either...). I will go back in and see if there is an option box.

    cheers,

    Euan
