Adobe flash and windows 7
I have just installed Windows 7, 64 bit, and when I go to load a jigsaw from
www.jigzone.com it tells me that my computer is not able to handle the flash applets required to do this. A Google search seems to indicate that Adobe have yet to overcome the problem I am having. Is this correct or has anyone a solution to offer me please? |

If you look in All Programs, you should have IE8 32 Bit & IE8 64 Bit. If you need to run a Flash program, use the 32 Bit until Adobe releases a 64 Bit patch. (I have a shortcut for both IE versions on my Taskbar). From: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems issue -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system. Reason -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA |

Adobe flash and windows 7
Hi, Bunny.
As it says on the Adobe site (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html ), Flash will not work in a 64-bit browser, but will run fine in a 32-bit browser in a 64-bit Windows system. As you may not have noticed yet, Win7 x64 comes with TWO versions of IE8, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. You can run either (or both side by side), but the 32-bit version runs by default. To see when version you are currently running, just click Help | About Internet Explorer. The 64-bit version says "64-bit Edition" on the Version line; the 32-bit version does not mention "bitness" at all. You should find both versions at: 32-bit version: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe 64-bit version: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe You can create shortcuts, pin to Menu or Taskbar, etc., as with any other Windows app, to run the version of your choice.

My solution was to use Mozilla as a browser when IE8 would not work, and eventually all the time. That works out fine! |

To confirm what others have said, I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and I just loaded and worked a puzzle at that site using 32 bit IE8: (C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) -- Crash "The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do." ~ B.
