+1 for Linux for me, would love to see native support.

I’d like to add a vote to the box marked Linux, even though at the moment as you say you don’t plan to support it.

On Vista 64, you have both 32 and 64 bit versions of Internet Explorer installed and you can choose to launch either one (so if you launch 32bit then Flash will install and work).

Rebecca & Carl: just install any 32-bit browser! I have Opera on Vista x64/Win7 x64 and Flash 10 installs and runs fine inside them.

anyone answer rebecca’s question: How do I run a 32 bit browser on my 64 bit operating system so that we can “see and hear” (e.g Flash Player) things again? Help Please

I have been using 64 bit versions of Windows exclusively for about the last half year.
These include Server 2003R2, XP, Server 2008, Vista, Server 2008R2, and Windows 7.

I am still waiting for Flash Player 64 bit. I hope it is released soon. I cannot play videos from U of M as I am using OFFICE 2007 for downloading all of my e-mails. I am sending a letter to the University to ask them to not support Adobe flash player videos or offer them in another format. [Why not just run a 32-bit browser? Have you found any evidence that a 64-bit browser offers advantages over a 32-bit one? (Presumably you don't want to allocate more than 4GB of RAM to your browser alone, so let's rule that out.) All I could find in searching just now were these numbers, but they're flawed in comparing Firefox 3.0 x32 to Firefox 3.1 x64. I'm not saying the Flash Player team shouldn't offer a 64-bit version of their code. They will. I'm just a bit tired of seeing them beaten over the head without seeing any evidence of why people shouldn't simply run a 32-bit browser. --J.]

Hi guys – I’m not a techie, so be nice…
I have CS3 (upgraded from 7.0) that I am trying to load onto a new Vista 64 bit system.
It doesn’t even come up….
Are they are patches, etc. that we need to try. I’ve been searching and I can’t find a clean answer, is there an easy fix… besides buying CS4?
thank you

I use Windows XP 64-bit and recently got CS4. I did a full install and it seemed to install two versions, one marked 64 bit. But that version does not work with my PC.
So, I use the other one.

Ok,I’m a lightweight hobby user whose files are less than 100 MB for the most part. I just got a 32-bit Vista laptop this year and perhaps in three years my next will most likely be 64-bit if this becomes commonplace. So it will be 32 bit CS4 for now.

Yea runs fine here too, vista64 + cs3 and cs4. They’re all getting along quite nicely.
Vistas been fine from the beginning, it argued with some version of acrobat once but that’s about it, so far.

Agree with Arnon, although the only filter I miss for PS 64-bit is Imagenomic’s Noiseware.

I mainly use Vista 64bit. I have a 4-core machine with 8GB memory. The main motivation is running multiple heavy applications together, not for Photoshop to use the entire RAM.
I use both Lightroom and Photoshop (plus a bunch of other stuff)
I end up using Photoshop 32 bit most of the time due to the 3rd party filter issue.

Since both I and most other folks posting at John Nack’s blog so often give Adobe a harrrrd time for all the things they screw up, I’d like to say that I think it’s simply FANTASTIC that Adobe has given us (Windows!) users a great 64-bit version of Photoshop — and ALL FOR FREE! We get both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions for the same price as earlier versions. I, for one, would gladly have paid Adobe several hundred dollars extra to get a 64-bit version — but I didn’t have to, they just gave me that, despite the sizable engineering effort this must have entailed. So all hats off to Adobe for giving us this great Xmas present! :-)
[Thanks, Klaus. You can direct the extra couple hundred bucks to the JNack Personal Development Fund if you'd like. ;-) --J.]
