Adobe Flash Player, 64-bit Explorer 7.0

My "solution" I was given was to ditch the Flash Player, it doesn't work with
this version of Explorer; however, I have a website I use most often that
asks for the Flash Player. Would it be okay/possible to back off Explorer
versions to the non-32-bit one?

Please state your full Windows version [e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista(x64) SP1]
when posting to this newsgroup.

Ditching "the Flash Player" was your your "solution" to what problem? What
doesn't work with IE7(x64)? What version of Flash Player were you using?

I, too, am unable to download the current edition of Adobe Flash Player. I
get an error message that says to download the Flash Player, I have to use a
32-bit browser, not a 64-bit browser. What is the solution?

I am using Windows Vista 64-bit

No Flash Player support for 64 bit version of IE, coming soon according to
Adobe:

Use IE7 32-bit and/or log-on as Administrator.

I'm having the same problem. I have the 64 bit version of Vista Home
Premium and cannot install Adobe Flash because I am apparently using the 64
bit version of IE7. How do I switch to the 32 bit version so that I can
install flash? I've seen posts on other websites referring to desktop
shortcuts labeled as 32 and 64 bit. My desktop has only 1 IE shortcut, and
it apparently is to the 64 bit version. I looked in my program (x86) folder,
and there is only 1 version of IE.exe there (I assume it's the 64 bit one.)
Microsoft's website won't let me download the 32 bit version because it knows
that I have a 64 bit system. Any suggestions? As you can doubtless tell,
I'm not much more than a novice (at age 66) with a computer, so I suppose I'm
missing something obvious.
