Gadgets with Flash on Windows Vista x64
Users of Windows Vista 64 Bits might have noticed that our gadget is not working properly on their system. More specifically, the audio player is not working. Why is it not working? The answer is simple, Adobe says:
Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.
Here, the browser is the sidebar and if you didn’t change anything it is running in 64 bits mode. So what you have to do is simply to run your sidebar in 32 bits mode – and it will work perfectly… Yes normally you should not have to do this yourself and maybe Adobe (Microsoft?) developers should have thought of something to run the player in 32 bit even if the browser is in 64 bit..?
