Im running xp Professional 64 bit edition, Im having problems finding 64 bit versions or compatible versions of software and plugins etc.
for example I cannot view videos on yahoo (the ones that pop up in the browser to watch news bulletins etc)

When i click to view the videos it says "Your system is currently unable
to play the selected video." it has a link to get help,, but shows no further info as to what I actually need to get things fixed.

I have installed media player,flash,shockwave,java,, and im fully updated windows wise. I use mozilla firefox

I cant seem to find any similar issues on this forum, not even something to do with xp pro 64 bit edition issues.

Can anyone help ? It would be much appreciated

Thanks

If anyone has any good links for 64 bit issues could you please post them here,, thanks

I run my gaming machine on XP 64 bit but don't use it for much else.

I too found many problems running compatible programs. Most end up in the 32 bit folder when possible.

New games however are running in 64 bit mode which is a plus.

You will note in your START menu that you have two versions of IE (at least if you have IE7). One is 32 bit and the other 64 bit.
