More of a tech question, coming here for help
Ok so bascially my question is how do I run internet explorer in 32 bit instead of 64 bit? For the life of me I can't figure it out, my default IE just dissapeared yesterday and the only one I can find to run is 64 bit which can't play any adobe flash player which is very very annoying. I've looked everywhere and can't find out how to download it or how to run it so any help is needed, thanks.

do you have the newest version of Adobe?
www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx there is a link to download IE 8. Yeah i hate how you cant use flash in a 64bit browser. Devs need to get with the times and start making more 64bit programs, there is no excuse not to we've had a 64bit os available for a long time now. I wish there was a 64bit version of firefox cuz I like firefox better than IE.
There actually is 64 bit firefox. What comes to flash, 64 bit version only exists in linux, lazy coders.
The 32-bit version binary is iexplore.exe. Simply find the program and then create a shortcut to it.
Adobe Flash will be released eventually with a 64-bit build. Adobe Creative Suites are slowly being released with 64-bit versions of their programs - such as Photoshop. So, in time will the Flash editor which will require a 64-bit Flash run-time for Windows.
BUT - There is a MAJOR upside to running the 64-bit version of IE. Most spyware that I have seen out there are plug-ins. I don't know of any spyware out there at the moment (other than people tinkering) that is 64-bit.
By defualt, 32-bit version is located in:
"..:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe"
for 64-bit version the path is:
"..:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe"
