Hi,

 If you want to access the 32-bit browser follow the below steps.

  To create a shortcut, please follow these steps:

 1. Right click on the desktop.

2. Click on New, and then click on Shortcut.

3. Once you click on Shortcut, you will get a box as Type the location of the item.

4. Type the following command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

5. Click next and finish the process.

 Then you can open a 32-bit Internet explorer.

 Download the latest version of adobe flash player and install.

 Please respond back for the status on the issue and let us know if you have any issues.

Hi!

I tried the above with no success.

I have Windows 7.

I have problems connecting with the Internet and the people in COMCAST told me to change the browser from 64 bit mode to 32, since they do not support 64...

I carefully followed your instructions but it says that it doesnt find the program.

Could you please help me... thanks in advance!

I have Windows 7 also and the proposed solution doesn't work. My laptop is 32-bit, so I guess I'll have to use that .

I had no problem - entered the thread and got the new shortcut.  Can I suggest you copy the command instead of typing it in.  This worked for me.  I have Windows 7.

I followed your instruction and created the short cut
Loaded Flash Player 10
However if I use my regular iExplore I get the same old Msg " need to install flashPlayer 10"
but if I launch the short cut which I called it iExplorer-32.. then all web pages work fine and I no longer get the error Msg. anymore...
so I think most of people still having problem are continue to use thier iExplore-64 and not the 32 bit you shown in your original Msg...
good luck U all...

I have a 64-bit, windows 7. This fix worked perfectly for me, just saved a copy in my start menu with the name 32 bit explorer so I can access it again when needed. Thanks for the solution, easy to follow and works great!
