LabRat Report post Posted May 30, 2009 From http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=11523 Vista compatible software that runs on Vista x64 but is only available as 32-bit will be installed into the x86 Program Files folder. 64-bit software will install into the other one. e.g. You have 2 versions of Internet Explorer with x64 Vista, one is 32-bit, one is 64-bit. 64 bit is noticably faster, but plug-ins such as flash etc will not work. Usually Vista will automatically install any programs into the right folder. Long story short, you are running Vista 64 bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
