I have Windows Vista 64 processors w/a & able to run 32-bit & 64-bit programs. How can I go about installing of some 32-bit programs?

I have a Windows Vista Home Premium with a 64 processor. It is able to run 64-bit programs and 32-bit. It seems (wired) LOL, to run 64-bit programs. I understand that it saves space on the CPU?  I'm desperate to run the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player, but it will only work in 32-bit version of Windows Vista. Is it possible that I can get there?  I checked my system & under Internet Explorer 32-bit, the only programs are JAVA STANDARD VERSION 6, version 1.6.0. & Speech text... Is there anyway I can use my 32-bit version of Internet Explorer to run some programs that I can't run currently not using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?

Hello

 
1. what happens when you try to install 32-bit programs?
2. you receive an error message?
3 are you facing this problem with any program in particular?
4 is that the problem is with addons like adobe flash player works only in Internet Explorer?

 
Most of the programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows works on 64-bit Windows version. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs. Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. At the same time the programs designed for the 64 bit version of Windows will not work on the 32-bit version of Windows

  • I run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3) on a desktop, not a laptop. How can I go about connecting to a Signal Wi - Fi?

    Whenever I try to make a link to a Wi - Fi signal, it doesn't let me. I opened my network page and it just says this: "CONNECTING to the NETWORK LOCAL IS DISCONNECTED a CABLE IS UNPLUGGED." I went through and tried to set up networks, and again, it won't let me.

    What did you do to 'set up network '?  Please be as complete and detailed as possible.

    What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?  (right click on desktop and select Properties, if you are not sure of your level pack Windows version or a service).

  • I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

    I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

    P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

    THANKS X

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

    So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

    Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

    See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP

    If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com

    If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.

    If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.

    If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
