I have Vista x64 and it has hummed along just fine until yesterday. I couldn't watch any YouTube videos because YouTube said I need to update my Adobe Flash plugin.
OK, so I use the Chrome browser, usually. But even in IE, same message. I go to Adobe and check out their Flash Player 11 download.
Not supporting WinXP I can understand. But Vista?Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista. Flash Player 11 now includes support for Windows 7 64-bit.
I've been trying all night, and no dice. My only solution was to use a developer's debugger version that is constantly nagging me to update, and it STILL doesn't work in IE, only Chrome.
Anyone else want to verify if I'm reading this right?

That's possible although they might have programmed it not to install.

Sory folks, but I've been running x64 flash for over a year.
You need to now run the 64 bit version instead of the 32bit you have been.
Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player
It autodetects my 64bit browser..
Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player is the d/l of your choice.

Re: Adobe suddenly DROPS Vista64 support?
Well the point of this thread is that the newest version isn't officially for Vista 64-bit.

Re: Adobe suddenly DROPS Vista64 support?
Thats too funny.. For 3 tries, adobe was showing a different flash version, though half the site wasn't working.
They must have been doing a updae rollout, as it had no issue with x64 Vista until my 3rd time there, plus now the sites responsive..
This is indeed an odd thing.
Here found old versions:

At least some people understand.Well the point of this thread is that the newest version isn't officially for Vista 64-bit.
I tried installing the latest Flash 11 (it will install), but refuses to play any Flash content on site using Flash. I just get image placeholders everywhere.
Guess it's time to upgrade, but I am a little teed off, esp since Win7 is little more than "Vista Plus", and Vista 64 has been just fine for me.
That's the prob with "free" software (Flash player) I guess. The company can stop supporting it at any time. But at least a warning (a month?) would have been nice. "Hey guys, we don't plan on supporting 64 bit Vista anymore".

Have you tried the win7 version? Vista and 7 are nearly the same.
Plus I linked you the newest x64 they made
