I've got a new PC (well, 3 months old), but very high spec. I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate and all works very well, except I can't watch any video clips over IE 8 in 64 bit mode. I've had to revert to 32 bit mode in order to see them.
I got an error saying that Flash needed to be installed, and there appears to be a beta version under development for 64 bit. Has anyone used this? Does it work? Is it safe?
I'm tempted to just put Firefox on instead, which I guess is a workaround, but it seems strange that W7 was released with this incomoplete functionality (bug?) - or am I missing something basic?
Is there a simple fix with known working apps that can run video over IE8 in 64 bit mode?
