I have a 64 bit processor & IE 7 64 bit Edition that the latest Adobe flash player won't run on. Without the flash I cant watch anything. Their fix is to use a 32 bit browser but they don't say which one to use. Has anyone run into this problem?

What make (Mac/PC) and OS (Windows/OSX/Linux) are you running?

Regardless, I would suggest ditching IE in favour of Firefox...

I know that there has been A LOT of problems with Vista, so I am wondering if this is causing your issue.

I'm by no means an IT person, but I would suggest trying a different browser (Firefox and Safari are 2 popular alternatives to Internet Explorer) and see if that allows you to watch the videos on this site.

Perhaps one of the site admins has heard of this issue and has a workaround?

No its the 64 bit processor which is very fast. SO MS created a 64 bit OS to take advantage of it and MS IE7 64 bit version does the same. However Adobe Flash player doesn't run on a 64 bit processor/OS. All the other OS; Firefox3, Google, etc also have 64 bit versions.

That's why I'm looking for a reliable 32 bit browser that will run Flashplayer.

Sorry I wasnt very specific. I suppose I could go steal my kids old laptop which is 32 bit and give him this brand new one!!!

Just an afterthought but on a Mac, go with Safari. Definitely the most stable and quickest browser.
