Hey, I don't know if I am in the right board, sorry, but I just got a new Dell with Windows Vista. It is all great, except I can't watch YouTube videos, or do a million others things because I can't download Adobe Flash Player.

When I go to click "get flash" it brings me to an error screen and says "Flash player can only run on a 32-bit operating system/browser" and I have a 64-bit, so I am unable to download it. I don't know how to change my browsing system to 32 from 64, I don't think it is possible, but please, how can I get flash to do all of the normal things (like viewing the front page of GameSpot.)

Thank you so much for the help.

You are using IE 64, there is a 32 bit executable as well. Or you can just use another better browser(chrome).

I get it from filehippo.com..................try it from there. Is there no 64-bit version? I would expect there to be since i know Mozilla is working on a 64-bit Firefox.

Here...

However I recommend chrome it's better than both. Based off of webkit, safari 4.0 uses it too. Gets 100/100 on the acid3test firefox 3 gets 72/100. Ie 8 gets 20/100.

adobe apps don't support 64bit.
