But, applications don’t always indicate if they are 32-bit. Applications usually say in the application name, such as "Internet Explorer (64-bit)", if the application is a 64-bit version. For example, you can buy a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 or a 32-bit version, and they’re both called "Windows 7." You need to look at your computer settings (or possibly the box it came in) to find the version your computer uses. See also, Shockwave Player on 64-bit Mac OS.Ħ4-bit refers to the size of each piece of data the operating system or application uses. Many operating systems and applications are sold as either 64-bit or 32-bit applications, though it’s not always obvious which version you have.


Shockwave Player does not run in most 64-bit browsers in Windows. If you can't view content with the Shockwave Player, it could be that your computer is running a 64-bit Web browser on a 64-bit Windows operating system.
