The situation. The BBC iPlayer worked in IE8 before I upgraded to W2K8 R2. The BBC iPlayer works in Mozilla now! In IE8 the iPlayer tells me to get Adobe flash, when I go to the Adobe site I get mumbo jumbo about running 32-bit programs in 64-bit OS.
Question: Can you point me to a link to download Adobe flash or a 64-bit OS (IE 8 Browswer).
Best Answer
Currently there is no version of Adobe Flash Player for 64-bit browsers. There is a pre-release version but I don't think it's really production-ready.
The only solution at the moment is to use the 32-bit version of IE8 which is also included in 64-bit versions of Windows.
Adobe has also a Technote discussing this topic: Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Edit: If you have problems with the download page you can try to download the installer directly from this URL: Link
