Although the 64-bit version of Windows is faster and more robust, computer users may encounter compatibility issues with software running in 64-bit mode. For instance, Adobe Flash doesn't run in 64-bit versions of web browsers. If you are having problems and wish to switch back, the solution is simple. You just need to either download the 32-bit version of the web browser, or else open the 32-bit version located in your program files folder.
