|
Answer» I was just looking into my java problem when I saw that I had even 2 IE's, one 32 bits AND a 64 bits!!!! And both work....could that be the problem with Java and Opera 10.54??? An undecisive OS? Quote from: Peterwolfe on June 30, 2010, 06:44:28 AM I was just looking into my java problem when I saw that I had even 2 IE's, one 32 bits AND a 64 bits!!!! And both work....could that be the problem with Java and Opera 10.54??? An undecisive OS? No.wow, most of my drivers won't install because they are 32 BIT! and apparently, nobody has made 64 bit drivers for my hardware. I noticed that too. maybe the 64 bit lets you do something firefox doesnt.Please clarify what you are stating...

Not sure what problem you're having, but I can tell you that you're using a 64-bit version of Windows. 64-bit programs will NOT run on 32-bit Windows. 32-bit programs will USUALLY run on 64-bit Windows, as long as they follow all the rules established for them to work in the WOW6432 emulation layer. Therefore, you can install BOTH the 32-bit AND the 64-bit version of Java in 64-bit Windows. Now, as far as Opera is concerned, we're not mind readers. It WOULD help if you say exactly what the problem is that you're having with it...32-bit programs will always run on 64-bit windows, unless they need a 16-bit component or TRY to do some goofy thunking or something. However, one must also realize that a 64-bit program can only access 64-bit libraries- and a 32-bit program can only access 32-bit libraries. So, a 64-bit program will require 64-bit plugins- and a 32-bit program (such as Firefox, Opera, etc) will only be able to use 32-bit plugins. the 64-bit version of Java does not install a 32-bit PLUGIN. |
