I have tried to download 32 bit IE8 to use adobe flash player, but I have windows 7 64 bit as my operating system and it will not allow me to download the 32 bit version of IE8.
What do you suggest I do?
When will the 64 bit 7 upgrade be available to allow use of flash player?

Davehc is correct and to explain further. Both IE8 32-Bit(x86) and IE8 64-Bit(x64) are available from the Start Menu. The listing "Internet Explorer" is the 32-Bit version. I think you can see which one is the 64-Bit version

Currently, it's unknown when Adobe will release a 64 bit version of their flash player or PDF reader. I say that being 64 bit computing has been available for years, it's time for Adobe to s##t, or get off the pot. I mean Windows can develop a whole OS, yet Adobe has trouble developing two 64 bit programs (Flash & PDF Reader). They should be given a timeframe to get it developed and marketed, if they can't or refuse to comply, kick them to the curb.
