IE8, 32-bit browser

A new program that I use requires IE7, 32-bit browser. I downloaded IE8 before that. I also see that the program will not support Windows Vista 64-bit.

I understand that I can use the compatibility feature to make the IE8 emulate IE7, but don't understand HOW to open IE8 as a 32-bit browser. I was told that I could do this in the start menu, but I do not understand!

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you.

I would like to know a way you can tell for sure if you have the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer other running then it was in the x 86 folder.  I'll try and a better indicator of the research.  I can tell you that I'm possitive that there not a 64-bit version of Flash.  I know that the Flash add-on works with the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, which is included on 64 bit systems.  Microsoft includes the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer on 64-bit for compatibility purposes systems.  It will take me a bit because I have to go to work soon, but I'll try and find a more surefire way to let you know that you actually run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.  Thank you for your patience.  Maybe someone else will read this thread who knows a sure fire way to know which version you have opened and will share this info with us two!

Take care

  • How will I know if it's a 32-bit or a 64-bit browser?

    While trying to install Java Runtime Environment Plugin, I was asked this:

    Should what download I choose?

    Choose the 32-bit download to use with a 32-bit browser.
    Choose the 64-bit download to use with a 64-bit browser.
    If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers, you need to download Java 32 - bit and 64 - bit.

    So, how can I know if it's a 32-bit or a 64-bit browser?

    Still, versions of Firefox from mozilla.org , including the current 37.0.2 is Win32.

    So you need 32-bit Plugins for firefox Win32.

    The 38.0 Firefox may be the first version to be built with Win32 Win64.

    The WOW64 in your Firefox useragent is a Win32 on Windows 64-bit application.

  • Netflix/Silverlight stop working, is 10 Firefox a 64-bit browser?

    It apparently takes MS Silverlight to stream Netflix. Streaming has stopped working for me every since Firefox updated to 10. MS wrote that Silverlight works with a 32-bit browser.

    I had the same problem. I am running Windows Vista and Firefox 10.0.2 (I think).

    What worked for me was to download Safari browser, then download Microsoft Silverlight from there.
    

    Then, I liquidated Safari (I just like Firefox better) and reopened Firefox. Went to Netflix and I can watch new videos!

  • 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.

  • 64-bit browser too good? Y at - there no possibility of returning to a 32-bit browser?

    We recently bought a new Dell laptop. It is running MS Vista with a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer. Our problem: is - this too good? It seems that every photo or video, we try to watch online is not available, because all software is compatible with a 32-bit browser. Can we change our 64-bit to 32-bit browser or can we download a 32-bit browser for Vista or should we expect everyone else to catch up? Any help would be appreciated.

    MTHobbs,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Forum of answers. The 32-bit, Internet Explorer must be the browser by default by default, unless you specifically open the "Internet Explorer (64-bit)". Just to make sure to open it from the executable. Please follow the steps bellow to open Internet Explorer 32-bit.

    1. click on 'start '.
    2. click on "computer".
    3. open "C:" (C = system drive)
    4. open "Program Files (x 86)".
    5. open "Internet Explorer."
    6. open "iexplore.exe".
    The path is: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Try to open the browser in this way and see if you still have problems. If you're still having problems, it could be that you are missing the Add-ons.

    Thank you.

  • 32-bit vs 64-bit browser

    My version of 32-bit iexplorer opens twice when I click on it and does not respond when I try to browse.  The same problem doesn't produce, 64-bit, however I want to run the new flash player that runs on the 32-bit browser.  Any idea what is the problem?  I'm running on windows Vista system.  The 32-bit has been installed in the typical products when I bought the laptop.

    The browser explore 32 bit simultaneously opens 2 sites and all controls are frozen when they open together.  I must uninstall the 32-bit and reinstall again.
