Download Adobe Flash Player on a Vista with a 64-bit browser

I went to a website to download information.  However, I was told that I need to have Flash Player 8.  I tried to download Flash Player 8, but I get a message that Adobe requires a 32-bit browser, and mine is a 64-bit browser.  Is there a way to circumvent this requirement or to switch to a 32-bit browser when I need access to this particular Web site?

Hi getbak

Unfortunately, Adobe has released not yet a 64-bit version of their Flash Player. Any Web site that contains Adobe Flash content unusable with a 64-bit browser.

The 64-bit version of Vista includes a 32-bit version of the Internet Explorer browser. You might be able to use to access this Web site.

See the following Web site for more information on how to access the 32-bit browser.

    Even if you are a 64-bit machine 8 default IE should be 32-bit version.  This is the version that runs on 64-bit computers by default.  If you use this version, then the problems will disappear.  As previously reported Adobe are still working on a version of Flash for 64 - bit.

    The bulk of this article applies to Windows 7, too:

    A description of the differences between 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista:
         http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946765

    You have 2 two versions of Internet explore 8 (IE8), 64-bit IE8 and IE8 32 bit. IE8 64-bit is the default value.

    It is not a 64-bit version of Flash Player (at least not yet). While IE8 64 bit is your default browser, Flash contentshould open in IE8 32 bit. If you know any page contained Flash (or dependent on one or more ActiveX controls), open an instance of IE8 32 bit to access the page.

    IE64-bit is a "level 2" browser Flash and ActiveX controls are supported in browsers 'level 1' (e.g., IE 32 bits). Seelevels of browser support on this somewhat linked page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx#section2

    You should familiarize yourself with this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

    The following is based on a related post from my colleague MVP Don Varnau aboutFlash & IE8 32 bit:

    The executable file for IE8 32 bit can be found here:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    The executable for IE8 64 bit can be found here:

    C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Browse to the appropriate Program Files folder and create a shortcut to this version ofiexplore.exe
    - - -
    Then using IE8 32 bit:

    1. download and save to the desktop, the Flash Player uninstaller
    http://download.Macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/Current/uninstall_flash_player.exe

    2. download and save to the desktop, the Flash Player installer
    http://www.Macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie
    - - -
    Then...
    Right click on the uninstall program, and then select run as administrator of
    Reset.
    Right click on the installer, unzip it and select run as administrator
    Reset.
    - - -
    Then...
    Make sure IE8 32-bit is the default open.

    When you right-click on the icons of IE in the quick launch area, the Start Menu and the desktop, then click Properties, which is in the target field?

    (From a previous post by Peter Csaszar... version)

    Targets should be either:
    IE8 32 bit "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
    IE8 64-bit "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    Change these objectives to be "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet ' (including the quotes) and IE8 32 bit should open by default

    To create a shortcut to IE8 64 bit for occasional use, navigate to the file iexplore.exe inC:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe. Right-click iexplore.exe , and then select send to. Desktop (create shortcut). Rename this shortcut so that you know this is the shortcut for IE8 64 bit.

    To make sure IE8 32-bit is the default, try this link http://www.Microsoft.com. When the browser opens lookhelp | About Internet Explorer. If there is no mention of 64-bit, 32-bit is the default value. If you have disabled the Menu bar, you will need to right click on the IE toolbar and put a controlmenu bar to have help available (or simply press ALT to move focus to themenu bar temporarily).

    I'm on a MAC and my password does not work, I reset my password and I can not even download Adobe Flash Player.

    This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

    If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

    If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

    If you are still puzzled, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • failed to download adobe Flash Player 10.1

    I tried to download adobe Flash Player 10.1 several times at the wire and ended up with the google toolbar.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and a Dell Computer Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.80 GHz

    69,92 GB of free primary system disk space. What should I do?

    Note: There is a check box for any add-in (for example the Google toolbar) that PEUT be disabled when downloading and/or installing Flash® to keep them out of your system!  In addition, these supplements can be uninstalled using the Control Panel Add / Remove Programs .

    For some reason, Windows Messenger was all or part of the Flash® Player open.
    What you had to do was exit windows Messenger.  (Right-click on the icon of)
    the task bar and click on 'Quit') you devriez also closed all browsers
    (by example, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, etc.).

    Download uninstaller and installer of flash, a folder or on your desktop.

    Once you have installed Flash Player, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    to test the Flash®.  The latest version is 11.2.202.228 at the moment.

    Changes: Adobe has changed the Flash® Player and now, there are essentially four versions.  There are 32-bit versions and 64-bit for the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer (IE) and the plug-in version (for Mozilla, Opera, etc.).  If you use a 64-bit browser, you must install the Flash® Player 64-bit.  Note that the 64-bit Flash® installation program will install the software 32 bit If it finds a 32-bit browser installed as well.  In addition, if you use IE and browsers based plugin, you need to install the ActiveX and plugin versions of Flash® Player.  Links to Flash® installers and UN-installers course changed as their file names now consider their "bittedness".
