Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

[sygnus21]

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.
:roflmao:

They're certainly dragging their feet over this. I would have thought that a 64-bit version would have been available by now, given that 64-bit computing has existed for several years.

See the following link: 64-Bit Support for Adobe Products

Ironically, it says at the bottom This content requires Flash. :sarc:

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.

The firefox plugin still crashes for me just after it completes its install. I made sure firefox wasnt running before installing. IE version installed ok.

Ditto.



flashplayer10_1_p2_plugin_121709.exe installed without dramas though :huh:

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!

It was not installing in the 32 bit IE 8 browser, not at all. Windows 7 would not let me download Firefox or Opera either. After hours of trying every fix on this and other threads, I went with Google Chrome. I can download and use everything (Facebook & YouTube, Netflix too) through Google Chrome - no freezing, crashing, or slowing.

The computer we bought was this one from eMachines - eME627-5583. A simple laptop for my daughter. I just wanted to offer this as an option to anyone who is tired of fighting the "IE 8 64 and 32 bit -vs- Windows 7 -vs- Adobe Flash wars".

If Flash won't install in the 32-bit edition of IE, and if Windows won't let you download Firefox or Opera, then you have a bigger problem. In short something is wrong with the machine.

All I know is that Google Chrome works.

Hey everyone, I found some cool stuff about Flash Player 10.1 beta; it now runs off of the GPU to run flash elements which makes watching HD videos even better! Check out this site to learn more:

FLAWLESS FLASH VIDEO

I've downloaded it, and I've noticed a big change in my watching HD videos.

Somewhat old news, was first announced in the summer of last year and works on both compatible ATI and Nvidia cards as long as the support is in the drivers (and don't ask when both added the support, but was sometime in the fall).

My bad, I just found out about it on nVidia's site, so I thought it was new.

Just had a quick look through the entire thread and haven't seen this so here goes.

I have Flash installed and working OK on here version 10.0.45.2, the latest, it lists that version in Add/Remove or I should say Programs and Features and Secunia PSI tells me I have that version.

If I have IE8 open and click on Tools, then Manage Add-ons the version listed there is the old one 10.0.42.34, I thought when first seeing this something must be wrong so I got the removal tool from Adobe and removed all versions of Flash from the machine and download the latest version from their site which installed and when tested told me I had the latest version and it was working, but it's still showing the older version in the Add-ons.

Anyone got any answers

For those using 10.1, the 10.1 release candidate now available,

Adobe Labs - Adobe Flash Player 10.1
