Default need help with when i reformat my rig pls?
hey everyone this is not a new build question but just really need some help
what happened was i re-formatted my computer and installed windows 7 home premium 64 bit along with internet explorer 8 64 bit. now the issue is that i cant watch any youtube vids or any vids that require a flash plugin. when i try to download the flash player here is the message i get...
Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player
even when i download and install it i still can watch any vids from youtube or etc...

is there any other option i have pls?

Linux had a 64-bit flash player as a beta for a bit, but enaberif is right - if you want Flash, just use a 32-bit browser and Flash Player will install normally. (unless you have some web page that's so intensive it uses up more than 2 GB of RAM???)
