Adobe suddenly DROPS Vista64 support?

[Ex_Brit]

Ok I got an answer already. Nothing has changed. They are just pointing out that 64-bit flash isn't supported except in 7. Badly worded unfortunately.

All it means is that the 64bit version of the Player is supported on Windows 7x64. The 32 bit player is supported on XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Since you're using the 32bit versions of FF and IE there's no change for you. For full system requirement details, please see:
Adobe Flash Player 11 | Tech specs

The thread is here: Adobe Forums: Adobe Flash Suddenly Incompatible w/Vista x64?

I pointed out that they really need to reword that warning.

Sh%t!

Looks, like I spoke too dam soon, again!

Don't ask me why, but after having Flash working for the past couple days, I visit YouTube again today and now both my IE and Chrome are complaining that they cannot play the videos because "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. "

I just checked my Adobe Updater service just to make sure it was not turned back on somehow, and it is still listed as disabled.

What the hell is going on here???

WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why keep the updater turned off? Try uninstalling Flash then installing a fresh copy.

Ex_Brit,

I know you're trying to be helpful and all, but sometimes I wonder if you've even read this thread at all.

Why keep the updater turned off?

I explained why I did that, already.

Try uninstalling Flash then installing a fresh copy.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING!!! SINCE THE FIRST POST!

OK, I'm calm now.

 

[Ex_Brit]

I'm going by the headline...nothing really has changed....they tried to clarify it by putting up a badly worded blurb on the download page. Disregard it.

Have you tried installing the 32-bit version?

I know that Flash player 11 64-bit is not officially supported by Adobe in Vista x64 (only the 32-bit one in 32-bit browsers work), but I am running Windows Vista x64 (Business Edition) and have not run into any issues what so ever with Flash 11 x64 and IE9 in 64-bit mode. I do have the 32-bit version installed for Firefox, but I was having some issues with certain FB games and Firefox. Now installing the 64-bit version wasn't straight forward - the Adobe website wouldn't let me install it via Active-X in IE9 64-bit mode. But why would it since it's not supported. On a whim, I had grabbed the 64-bit Flash player 11 standalone installer for Windows 7. It installed fine and runs perfectly fine for me. I haven't run into any problems with IE9 operating in 64-bit mode and using Flash player 11. I have not disabled it's updater (although I do have all kinds of Windows services that I have no need or use for disabled). But then again, perhaps I'm wrong and the installer got smart and only installed the 32-bit IE version. Which would mean that IE9 when operating in 64-bit mode can make use of 32-bit extensions such as Flash Player 11. But then again, I somehow highly doubt it can do that.

I just found this problem today -- June 2012. I have discovered some other threads that helped with youtube adobe flashplayer not working with firefox | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help but it did not solve all the issues with other sites requiring flash player 11. I had to access my old laptop hard drive to reinstall flash player 10 which has become hard to find on google today, thanks for notin' patonb for sending me to oldapps.com for a trojan. In regards to the above forum link page I dont know if anything about the firefox x64 nightly build works or even if the ....64.msi is even just the windows 7 x64 package.... i cant be bothered now... i am keeping flash player 10 for now and the foreseeable future until Adobe fixes this hex bug. I think Aldus AKA Macromedia would be rolling in their grave if they knew what Adobe has failed to accomplish with their decrepid spawn of satan codecs ... lol

Why did you go there? Go to Adobe, they archive old major versions: Archived Flash Player versions

Oldapps.com doesn't have trojans. I have been there multiple times and have downloaded stuff fromt here and they passed my virus tests. What antivirus are you using?
