Flash on IE8 (64 bit)
OK to be honest I ran 64 bit IE on my Vista installs to simply DL the browser I wanted

On Win7 7100 I wanted to check out IE8 and still using it Judas seems to like it so I said WTF. No real issues with it except Adobe Flash apparently doesn't support 64 bit browsers.

I discovered this trying to run the test on this thread.

I ended up copying the link for the test into a 32 bit IE8 window and it was fine. Just a mention

Re: Flash on IE8 (64 bit)
yeah you can't use the 64bit version of the IE8 for flash related to tasks... i wish i could use the 64bit version... but alas..... adobe are being lazy asses.

32bit zero issues imo

Re: Flash on IE8 (64 bit)
Perhaps something Adobe should look at addressing there is a lot of Flash related content online.

Maybe they already have it...but are trying to figure out how they can justify charging 999.00 like the do with Photoshop CS4

Re: Flash on IE8 (64 bit)
so the default IE icon made available doesn't allow you to use flash.... i know the 64bit versions still don't work with flash due to adobe's bs..... but the 32bit versions work flawlessly....

not sure about firefox.. i give that program a shot every once in a blue moon.. but it still performs horrible even after a fresh install and no addons....
