this is why i'm a shitty nerd.
i've just started fucking around with windows 7, which i really like. then again, i liked vista, so there's that. the way win 7 is set up though, points you towards using the 64 bit version of internet explorer. they do include the 32 bit version as well, but it's less prominent.
and of course: problems arise.
adobe makes flash, and distributes the flash player. i.e. does not come with this pre-installed. there is no 64 bit version of the flash player. to get that to install, you need to be running the 32 bit verison of i.e.
$5 to the first person who comes up with a concise explanation of that issue i can pass along to the people at the office wondering why they have to deal with 2 different i.e. shortcuts on their desktops. bear in mind that the people i work with do not understand the difference between outlook, internet explorer, and windows.
also, adobe? your fucking help file should not have this in it:
"I can't get Adobe Flash Player to work on Windows 7.
TRY THIS FIRST
This problem is related to the browser you are using. Try using another browser, such as Firefox from Mozilla."
you are snakes and liars. if steve jobs wasn't a bigger douchebag, i would hope he is correct and html5 renders flash obsolete.
