Great news....

Better news would be a 64-bit version which Adobe "claims" they're working on

How long have they claimed that for exactly?

It's been at least a year - you can look back in this and other Adobe Flash threads :)

And I was only being slightly partially mildly sarcastic

It has been at least 3 years, maybe more.
I queried Adobe about it 3 years ago and they used words to the effect that the 64-bit player would be released soon.

With companies like Dell installing 64-bit Windows by default now, itl only get more popular.

Not just Dell. I went to buy a new laptop two days ago for the wife and all but two models were 64-bit.

tnx

Found a workaround until everyone gets onboard with 64 bit...

Just bought a new laptop with all the goodies already installed (including Windows 7 IE8 32 bit and IE8 64 bit). Tried everything to get Adobe Flash... Would not allow me to download hardly anything (Firefox, Opera for example) without getting an error message.

I WAS able to download Google Chrome and through GC I was able to get Flash and YouTube is working just fine. :) So, now our primary browser is Google Chrome and if needed IE 8 is still there.

Thanks to everyone with suggestions on this thread. You were all very helpful!

I couldn't find an answer from this thread but what is the best browser to use for 64bit Win 7 if one want's to use Flash pages (i.e. FarmVille)? 32bit Firefox works but uses loads of memory and starts lagging bad and as I gathered there isn't a working Flash player for 64bit Firefox. I really would like to know does Flash player work fine on any 64bit browser?

We needed Flash to work for my daughter's Facebook games too - so we switched to Google Chrome - everything downloaded just fine and works like a charm. :)

Or you could just do this... Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

And as been mentioned, Flash will not even install on a 64-bit browser, thus the failed installs. It will install on the 32-bit version!
