October 24, 200916 yr Hi allJust installed win 7 64bit so that I don't get any more OOMs but can'nt view Utube.I have found out that flashplayer doesn't run on 64 bit operating systems and to get it to work I need a 32bit explorer. I cant figure out how to get a 32 bit explorer to work in win 7. I have D/L a 32 bit explorer from Microsoft but it cant install on a 64 bit system. I cant find any solutions on the MS forums. The explorer in win 7 is for 64bit onlt.Can anyone help with thisThanksBill

October 24, 200916 yr I assume you are talking about YouTube?I'm in the process of "upgrading" to Windows 7 64-bit myself. Coming from XP, which is pretty much a clean install, but I wouldn't have it any other way anyway.The "default" IE, the one that gets installed into the taskbar, is infact 32-bit IE. Flash Player installs just fine in it and YouTube works flawlessly. You can verify the IE version by going to the Task Manager, it should say iexplore.exe *32. (Or go to Help > About in IE, if it's the 64-bit version, it'll say so on the version line.) I can see an Internet Explorer (64-bit) in the Start Menu, but haven't started it yet. Mike...

Don't know if that makes a difference.Bill
October 25, 200916 yr Nah, clean install is clean install. Find 32-bit IE here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieplore.exeFind 64-bit IE here: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieplore.exeNot sure if it makes a difference, but I have Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade), the English (UK) version, it came with two discs, one for 32-bit, one for 64-bit. I used the latter. Mike...
