Hello everyone!
First off happy holidays!

OK i just upgraded my computer to amd 64bit running winxp 64bit os.. I use
both firefox and internet explorer. I can get firefox to install the macromedia
flash program, however internet explorer wont let me, i just get a red x in the
upper left corner. Am i missing something that i should be doing with ie 64bit?
or does flash not work on ie 64bit?

Thanks

Shawn

You aren't doing anything wrong. Macromedia is behind the times and don't have
a 64bit version of flash. The reason flash works in firefox is that you most
likely installed the version from their site and they only have a 32bit version
on their homepage (you have to build it yourself or download from somewhere
else to get a native x86_64 build for windows).
