New computer vista/ flash player help!

[tink2]

Got our new computer this morning. DD9 goes to webkinz and it won't play b/c our vista is the 64 bit and it says that flash player won't play on 64 bit yet- only 32- and that to run flash player (and play webkinz), you must run a 32 bit operating system.
Anyone have experience with this and know how to make this work???

Go to:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Click on "Get Flash Player 10"

And then go through the install process.

That will install flashplayer. I just ran throught the whole process on my 64 bit Vista.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help- although I couldn't get it to work. I did find that the computer does have two different browsers- IE for 64 bit and IE 32 bit- so dd can just use the 32 bit one until I get it figured out.
Every time I go to the link or the 'download' option, it says that flashplayer is not available for 64 bit browsers that you must use a 32 bit browser?
The joys of Christmas morning!

Did anyone else figure this out? I can't get my flashplayer installed either. How do I change it to 32 bit? I can't even figure that out! I am so not good at this computer stuff!

I used the 32 bit IE to install flash.

To figure out what you are using:

Click the Window button (used to be the start button in XP)

Type "Internet Explorer" into the search box.

You will see Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer (64 Bit) and Internet Explorer (No Add Ons).

You want Internet Explorer.

Hope this helps.
