Posted by ajt (85.211.xx.xx) on Sun 2 Mar 2008 at 10:30 You are of course correct, however running some 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system is always a pain. You can run a legacy 32-bit applications I agree, however you often end up being forced to run any program they connect to in the same legacy 32-bit mode (the browser as you say in this instance) which now means you have to maintain a non-standard part of your OS by hand. Or you can install a shim which lets 32-bit browser plug-ins run in a 64-bit browser, which can also be a pain. It would simply be a lot simpler if there were native 64-bit browser plug-ins available. -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
