Solved Help please with vista and flashplayer

have had this problem since May and it is really getting the better of me... I am no whizz kid with computers but can usually resolve most issues but not this one.
My daughters laptop runs on Vista 32 bit and until May this year version 10 of flash player, everything was perfect. Every Flash player release after 10th May causes the following problem:

When i try to delete the cookies on her machine I get a run HOST 32.dll error- HOST 32.DLL HAS STOPPED WORKING. I can delete temp internet files, history, add-on data and everything else, it only occurs with cookies!
In the event viewer it is always Flash player 11.0cx application crash that has caused the issue.
I have tried restoring the laptop back to May and then it works fine- but she needs to have the latest version for Facebook etc..
I have also tried uninstalling flash player via Abobes uninstaller and re-installing from scratch - no joy
I have also tried deleting all cookies and disabling all add-ons before installation - no joy
Has anyone else faced this issue, anyone got any suggestions?
Am i doing something wrong?
I feel sure this is something simple - I run my own PC on XP and I don't have this issue
Thank you

Well, I use Firefox, and I have never had Flashplayer issues, I am assuming that the computer is using IE9 , which may have issues with Flash, seems to me, that I have seen some other users recently have been having issues. And I believe they were using IE9 .

Try Firefox or Chrome or Opera , one of them should work out, and see if Flash has any issues with those or one of those.

Vista/Flashplayer issue and google problem?

I have had this issue with flash player since May when they introduced Flash Player 10 (May Release) with the new settings Manager that can be accessed from your own control panel. However I have never been able to use because as soon as i click on it it crashes and causes an error host32.dll has stopped working. I have tried all the obvious Solutions, uninstall/reinstall/clear cache.

None of these have worked for me so I have kept digging and today I noticed that Flashplayer CPLApp that appears to control this new control panel settings manager has a weird location in properties relating to 'google chrome' On my other system XP: I dont have this issue it works perfectly and the location of the file is C:Windows\ system 32.
Google Chrome was loaded on the system when I got it, it has never been used by me and now says no up-to-date files. So I havent changed anything there. Flashplayer worked fine until May and I have always used IE8 on both XP and vista. Vista makes me scratch my head until I have a bald patch!!
Where has this google location come from and what can I do about it.... all suggestions welcomed... Do I rename the location, delete it, uninstall chrome??????Thank you. If you need any specific information, please ask and I will Edit accordingly
