my laptop is making me work more  

if i open internet explorer 64 bit.....it can't sometimes cope with some downloads and I have to change to internet explore 34 (i think)...and its a bummer when I am searching and also want to watch something on youtube.

Found out also its a problem when I come to eBlah page (in 64 mode) and want to use youtube code....I had to switch again.
It didn't take me long to work that out though...when I got the red X in the preview message.


GOODBYE fellow eBlah's .....it sure has been nice meeting yo'all here and I will miss everyone of you

Windows 64bit systems can run most, but not all, 32bit applications. Most sites offering downloads will tell you if their program is compatible with 64-bit Windows. If it doesn't tell you, you can write to the developer and ask.  If it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't,  sometimes it's easier just to try something than it is to wait around for someone to write you back. On the flip-side: If you see a program made specifically for 64-bit Windows, it won't run on 32-bit Windows systems.

This should help you   http://windows.microsoft.com/e.....ntly-asked-questions

A major problem with the 64 bit version of IE is plugin support specifically Flash player since so many sites use it, youtube for example requires Flash but Adobe so far have done little about releasing it in 64 bit. By default the 32 bit version of IE will startup, you can tell which version you are running from the processor tab in task manager, 32 but programs will show *32 after their name in the list
