Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

I learned today there is a known issue where Flash cannot play in the 64-bit version of IE (available on Windows Vista 64-Bit). I believe other browsers on 64-bit operating systems (Linux, for example) are affected, too.

The workaround in Vista is to create a shortcut to point to the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.

1. Copy the shortcut for Internet Explorer
2. Right-click and select Properties
3. Change the target location for Internet Explorer from " C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

The good news for Flash Developers is that, according on one source, 32-bit IE is the default for Windows Business 64-bit- though the 64bit version is, of course, available.
