Flash for Windows Vista 64 Bit

[tazman3765]

Flash was not working for some reason this morning.  I've spent HOURS trying to find a flash version 11 that will work with my 64 bit laptop.  HELP!!!!!!

Flash or Flash Player

Flash Player can be found here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

It is the latest and greatest.

What an unhelpful answer.  Running Firefox 13.x.  Flash player worked fine until

today.  Tried download where is states 'Flash player is NOT compatible with

Windows Vista 64 bit.  I know this to be false.  As I asked the first time.  I

need a link for 64 BIT FLASH, NOT 32 BIT!!

Please help!

The Flash Player 11.3 installers have been combined; the installer will install the 32-bit player on 32-bit systems, and install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on 64-bit systems.

The combined installers can be downloaded from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.ht...

However, since Vista 64-bit is not officially supported by Adobe, I do not know what it will install on this system.

Another unhelpful answer, I know.

Pat,

I'm glad I kept your email. I certainly appreciate your honesty (again no

help...lol), and thought I'd let you know problem solved. It was nothing to do

with Flash OR Mozilla. I've been running a program for an incentive program

through Nielsen. I've had issues with Nielsen interfering with my computer

before. I removed the program this morning and voila! everything works. Thanks

for the help!

Just curious, as I do not have access to any Vista machine: did running the combined installer actually install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on Vista?  Check these two folders:

• C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
• C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash

Yep, installed both. When I bought my laptop, I actually had a free upgrade to

Windows 7 but divorce and my certificate parted us....upgrading soon...lol.

Thanks; that is very useful to know.  So the statement that Vista 64 is not supported is actually wrong!

I hope that Chris or other Flash Player team members will notice this topic and issue a correction.

Absolutely correct. I've been using Adobe Flash on my laptop (Vista 64 Bit)

since I bought it approximately 3 years ago.
