Guest Bobby Johnson Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers The default one is the short cut without any other designations and is 32-bit, which is also where your add-ons work with. The one with the '64 bit' designation is just that, the 64-bit version of I.E. 8, but currently is no add-on/plug-in support for it - no Java, no Flash Player, etc. The on designated 'no add-ons' is the default 32-bit I.E.8 with everything disabled when it opens - just a nekid explorer.

Guest Carlos Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Bobby, That would be IE7 instead of IE8.

Guest R. C. White Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Hi, Judith. So, as the others said, you actually have TWO Internet Explorers: one 32-bit and one 64-bit version of the same program. (If you had only the 32-bit Vista installed, you would have only 32-bit IE installed, but in 64-bit Vista, you have them both.) Vista comes with IE7, so that's what you have if you haven't downloaded and installed the IE8 beta. If you did, then you have the two (32 and 64) versions of IE8b2. In either case, as Bobby said, you can run the 32-bit IE without add-ons if you choose. The 32-bit version is the one that is set to run by default. It is C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. You can run the 64-bit IE by clicking on C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. (If you are new to 64-bit Windows, you might not have noticed that all 32-bit apps are in Program Files (x86); 64-bit apps are in Program Files WITHOUT the (x86) designation. No, I don't know why MSFT chose to use this foldername arrangement rather than create a new Program Files (x64)). RC -- R. C.

Guest Bobby Johnson Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Thanks, Carlos! I'm not sure why I typed in IE8 since I know it's not RTM yet! It should be 'nekkid' instead of 'nekid' - but, yes that's what you do when you go swimmin' - you get nekkid before you jump in swimmin' hole!

Guest Carlos Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Bobby, English is not my native language so I was not aware of the "nekkid" expression though I was suspecting that something was hiding behind that mispelled word. :) Carlos "Bobby Johnson" wrote: > Thanks, Carlos!

Guest Tony Sperling Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Ah, Carlos, you should have followed the adventures of Fat Freddy and his friends (and cat!), by Sidney Sheldon and all of Robert Crumb's creations.

Gilbert Shelton [sic] did The Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (Fat Freddy, Freewheelin' Franklin, and Phineas Freak). Freddy's cat is certainly one of my favorite characters. http://lambiek.net/artists/s/shelton.htm http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Cats/FFCat.htm > There once was a Robert Crumb Museum Web Site - might be worth a visit? I think Crumb's work comes off as more tormented than Sheldon's.

Guest Tony Sperling Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: Internet Explorers Re: Internet Explorers Yes, I have a preciously short selection of the mags right beside me (in case of unforeseen emergencies) and noticed my horrible mistake a few seconds after hitting 'Send' - Sidney Sheldon is quite a different, and memorable creator in his own right I can only agree, the 'brothers' have a positive and humorous air about them that Crumb's characters are mostly lacking, but then, Robert was (is?) probably just that sort of character himself - no, I like their open minded perversities very much regardless. For the greater volume of the past 30 years or more - whenever I was about to feel a little depressed, I wipped out a Mr. Natural album and instantly saw that I wasn't so bad off after all!!! Very uplifting!!! The best Moral Booster on this planet. You probably need to see beyond Crumb's upfront 'sleeze' to notice the unusual intelligence of his work. And all of this tought me a lot of US 'english' that I could never have picked up anywhere this side of the Atlantic. And Fat Freddy's Cat has to be number one on any scale. (Oh, and I wasn't even aware of WW being Gilberts creation) Tony. . .

Yes, I am new to 64-bit, but so far everything is running like a charm with the exception of an infrared extender problem that I believe is a HP hardware problem. Have not downloaded IE8 beta yet.
