sorry if this question has been answered before, i did do a search first but
am not finding my answer.
i am so frustrated right now i could throw this stupid computer out!
bought new pc with vista installed and have had nothing but problems. this
latest one is that it looks like microsoft did the auto download thing to
upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit around august 29th??
all i know is that around the 29th i tried to go on IE7 and it wouldn't
display the webpage, i can't remember the error message. so then when i'm
looking around after repeated tries, i looked under programs and it shows two
versions of IE7- i try the 64 bit and it works! great! problem solved! so
i think this must have some sort of advantage if microsoft is having this new
upgrade?? then i notice that Java and Flash and pictures aren't showing up
on websites and that I can't watch videos on websites. i also have this
constant ActiveX control come up but when you install it - it changes
nothing. aargh!
finally after about 2 weeks, i get so fed up with it cuz i'm trying to do my
first LightScribe and go to the website to see a demo to do it with and Lo
and Behold - i can't see it! so i call HP and they tell me to do a recovery
disk and take it back to 32 bit! well, i can't find my recovery disk right
now and not sure if i wanna go through all THAT trouble thinking microsoft
has gotta know they put out a crappy fix and that maybe, just maybe, they'll
come out with a patch????
can anyone help me through this??
this stinks!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

There is NO upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit, manual or automated. If you have
Vista Ultimate 64-bit, you had to install it.

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

please forgive me for jumping the gun! i called microsoft and they fixed
it.. i was just so ticked from calling HP and them tellling me to uninstall
the 64 and go back to 32 bit.
around the 28th of august i couldnt log onto ie7, then looked and seen 2
diff versions of the ie, the 64 bit worked and the 32 didn't so i removed the
32 and that led to this problem.
the guy at microsoft had me do a search for "internet explorer" and it came
up with two "ie7 for 64 bit" and one that just said "internet explorer" so i
moved the one titled just "internet explorer" to my desktop and now that
works fine with java and flash. it also fixed the problem i had with activeX.
i don't know why i had two different versions of IE7 in my Start>Programs, i
thought it was just an auto update thing.
sorry i threw mud before i exhausted all resources but i thought i'd have to
pay to call microsoft since that's what the support website looks like it
means.
they were great and easy to understand, by the way.
*me looking sheepishly away but understanding that i need to correct myself
since i was so willing to bash microsoft when it was my own dumb fault*

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

Hi, John.

That was my first reaction, too. But reading through Angel's
obviously-frustrated post, I get the impression that he/she is talking about
the 32/64-bit versions of IE7, not of Vista.

Angel, Vista - both x86 and x64 - originally comes set to default to 32-bit
IE7 when we click the big blue "e". To get 64-bit IE, we must specifically
run it, perhaps by navigating to Program Files, rather than to Program Files
(x86).

>> it looks like microsoft did the auto download thing to
>> upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit around august 29th??

Was there a change on 8/29/07? MY Vista Ultimate x64 still runs the x86
version of IE7 unless I insist on the 64-bit version. (To see which you are
running, start IE7 then click Help | About Internet Explorer. If it doesn't
say "64-bit Edition", then it's the 32-bit version that is running.)

What are you really asking, Angel?

Sadly, some websites and some programs have not been updated to work
properly with IE7 x64, which is why it still defaults to IE7 x86. (It took
a long time to get many websites updated to work with IE7; a few still
require us to claim we're running IE6!)

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

There is no IE64 available on a 32-bit version of Windows. As I said, she
still had to have Ultimate 64 installed initially. There is no update from
32-bit to 64-bit IE, they coexist in different install folders. Both are
available from the time the OS is first installed.
IE64 does not run several add-ons, java and flash being two.

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

Glad it is fixed for you. Incidentally, you should have 3 versions
available from the start menu, one titled Internet Explorer (no-addons).
You may have to type internet explorer in the search box if you ever start
having problems with IE and need to see if it is caused by an add-on.

Re: 32 to 64 auto upgrade doesn't support flash!

Hi, John:
Now I wonder...
How can you tell, from the name "Angel", that it is a "she" rather than a
"he"?
Am I missing something from my (poor) knowledge of the English language?
Please help this southern Spanish speaking x64 guy a little bit.
:)
