Hello,
Recentley i deleated the 34 bit version of what i believed to be either
internet explorer 7 or 8. Currentley i am using the 64bit version of ie 8. I
have recently noticed that flash does not work with this web browser. Upon
going to the flash website, i am told to download the lower version of
internet explorer 8. How do i do this? I go to the microsoft website and find
the internet explorer download but it does not allow me to download the
program. How can i install the 34bit version? Or, more preferably, how do i
view webpages that require flash in internet explorer 8 64bit?

Hope this makes sense....and i am running windows 7.

Thanks!

May I ask why you purchased a Win7 64-bit computer, K?

First there is no 34 bit version, there is 32 bit and 64 bit, both of which
come with Windows 7 64 bit, you cannot install a version of Internet
Explorer in Windows 7 as it has the latest version already installed. Flash
does not work with IE 64 bit, if you need to view flash content you need to
run IE 32 bit.
