Unable to download & install FlashPlayer since Microsoft update

I have managed to reinstate JavaScript but not Flash Player.  It says it is not compatible with a 64-bit  browser.  It worked perfectly until about 2 weeks ago!  I have uninstalled Flash Player completely but cannot re-download and install it.

Any suggestions??

    You mean 32-bit of course.  The default browser on Windows 7 is the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 8.  As long as you continue to use this, Flash Player will install and work fine.

    I realise I haven't given enough details - I am running Windows 7 and use Internet Explorer 8.0.76.  I notice that lots of people are having similar problems but none of the answers seem to quite answer my predicament!  Having uninstalled Flash Player, I can't even download it again.  SHould I switch to 34-bit browsing (how?) and would this be really slow?  Does anyone have any answers for me?  I've used up a whole morning on this!  I can't believe that Adobe want to charge for support when the problem originates from them..

    Flash Player (Windows version) has never worked on a 64-bit browser.  If you maintain that your previous version of Flash Player worked on the 64-bit Internet Explorer, then I suggest that you simply revert to the old version and see how well it works...
