How can I tell if I have a 64-bit OS? How can I download videos with RealTimes (or RealPlayer) if I do?

Windows 8 and 10
Windows 8 and 10 PCs run 64-bit Internet Explorer by default; however there is a built-in 32-bit add-on that means the browser can also operate as a 32-bit browser and should be compatible with Download This Video.

If you're having trouble with Download This Video, try these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click the cog icon in the upper right to open the Tools menu.
3. Select Advanced.
4. Make sure "Enhanced Protected Mode" is un-checked.

Windows 7 or earlier versions
If you're not sure whether your PC's operating system is 64-bit or 32-bit, follow these steps to check:

1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Click Computer.
3. Right-click on Properties.
4. Look for the information next to System Type. In this example, the computer is 32-bit:

If you do have a 64-bit system, the default version of Internet Explorer is 32-bit; please verify that you are running IE in 32-bit mode before using RealPlayer's Download This Video feature:

1. Open Internet Explorer and click  Help > About Internet Explorer. (If you've disabled the Menu bar, right-click the IE toolbar and put a check by Menu Bar to have Help available.)
2. If there's no mention of 64-bit, you are using 32-bit.

To create a shortcut to IE 32-bit for future use:

1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Click Computer.
3. Click on local disk C:
4. Click Program Files(X86).
5. Click Internet Explorer.
6. Right-click iexplore.exe.
7. Select Send To Desktop (create shortcut).
8. Rename that shortcut so you know it's the shortcut to IE 32-bit.

If you need to switch your browser from 64-bit to 32-bit, follow these instructions:

1. If you are using Windows XP, click the Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen. If you are using Windows 7 or Vista, on the Windows logo at the bottom left corner of your screen.
2. Select "All Programs." You will find a list of shortcuts of programs installed on your computer/laptop.
3. Scroll up to find the shortcut for "Internet Explorer (32-bit)" browser.
4. Click on the shortcut to launch a 32-bit Internet Explorer on a 64-bit Windows operating system.
