Look for it at www.start64.com IE 64-bit There is currently no Java, no Flash, no ActiveX support. Java support seems closer but it is not there yet. Eventually we will have it.

Re: Vista x64 runs 32 bit version of all built in apps by default? "John Barnes" <jbarnes[ at ]email.net> 5/16/2007 12:24:02 PM Sorry, but you can't. You can go thru the registry and change any that are defaulted thru the registry, but for the most part any that are launched by a 32-bit program will be the 32-bit version of IE.
