    Hi

    Yes a few sites that use Adobe Flash are not happy as yet with IE x64 as Flash does not support 64bit browsers, its coming soon but not here yet,

    So my best advice is that you can add to the Windows 7 taskbar any app you wish so type in the Start Search box internet and you will see two internet explorers one just named Internet Explorer and one named Internet Explorer (64 bit) just drag and drop the normal one to the taskbar to pin it and maybe re-name it to IE 32bit as a reminder.

    I will try to do that Halo, but am also having problem with icons staying in the taskbar.

    When I booted today all the settings there were gone, even as the bar was locked.
    Do you know why. Doesn't windows remember the settings, it did in my XP ??
    Thanks' very much:)
    Also the cookies I keep in CCleaner don't seem to work, I have to sign into MG every time even though I have a cookie saved there.

    Thanks so very much Halo what you suggested with the 64 bit and 32 bit works just fine. I have them pinned and have just named one 32 bit, the other one being the 64 bit from programsx86.:) And I can now get to my paid ecard site. Very important for me...............

    I'm still not sure why the os doesn't keep the taskbar settings. Any ideas keeping in mind I have just had win 7 os for about a week ?
