The Flash Player installer (embedded or the one from here - for Win 7) installs BOTH 64 and 32 vit plug-ins. You may be confused by the Control Panel icon, Flash Player (32-bit), but that's the GLobal Settings Manager, which IS a 32 bit app, and MUST be labeled as such per Microsoft specs. If you check C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash, and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, you'll see plug-in files for both bit rates. ... View more

Desktop mode is for the people (vast majority) who cannot stand the "Metro" interface of Windows 8, myself included. When I bought my laptop, I wanted a computer. If I'd wanted a tablet of a phone, I would have bought a tablet or a phone. I never use the "Metro" tiled mode of WIndows 8 for anything. Frankly, it's confusing as all H E L L, and most of the apps don't work right, because my $279 laptop doesn't have the necessary hardware for Windows 8 Metro apps. That's why there are two. So people can pretend their desktop or laptop is really a Windows phone. They're the same Internet Explorer, but with different graphic setttings. They use the same Flash Player plug-in (ActiveX) but for many, many people, Metro mode has all sorts of problems, like stuttering audio or choppy video, and full screen in YouTube works for some, doesn't for most. ...

Trust me, if you'd reformatted it, you'd know. There are no less than three (3) warnings that "Reformatting will erase ALL DATA - Are you sure you want to do this?" before you can do it. The problem with "Rootkits" and certain adware, is that a "factory reset" wil restore your Operating system with them intact. It's like repainting a dead car. It looks like new, but the same old problems are under the hood. ... View more

Adobe still writes the code for Flash Player ActiveX for IE in WIn 8 & 8.1. Like with Google Chrome, they "hand it off" to Microsoft, for modification and embedding. I seriously doubt Adobe will ever turn over all development and updating to the boys in Redmond. ... View more

"I also did a factory reset of my laptop yesterday, a completely clean install back to new & yet again" Did you format the hard drive and reinstall, or just do a factory restore? I have tried everything & tried 4 different browsers & still the same issues. If you're seeing a spike in all three different, separate, plug-ins, odds are there's something outside of Flash Player, using it, that's causing it to spike the CPU, because ActiveX and the standard plug-in are NPAPI, and PepperFlash is PPAPI. Two different plug-in formats. If you did a "factory restore" but DIDN'T reformat the hard drive, then whatever it is, probably a rootkit, wasn't removed and you just gave it a fresh environment to operate in. ... View more

Maps wrote: Will Flash Player become available for android users, and if so.... when? If not.... Why? In a word, "No". There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player since June of 2012. Historically: 2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®. 2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®. 2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support for Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10. Android (Google) recommends you use either Dolphin or Puffin as your browser if you must view Flash content, but they try to discourage it for the above outlined reasons. ... View more
