  Tracy, there is no fix for this issue in vista 64-bit. Your computer has two versions of internet explorer. Go to all programs and pick the ie that does not say 64 bit and you will be able to run nay video from any sight through that version of ie. Adobe, nor anyone else, currently has a flash player available that supports ie 64-bit. Hope this helps you and others... it took me about an hour to find the root and the cure.

  I wonder if the same is true for other 64-bit OS'? If so, Adobe need to wake up! The world is going 64-bit, whether they like it or not. Flash will lose it's 99.999% market share if they're not moving to 64-bit. Personally I love Silverlight and I'm sure MS are keeping Adobe up at night with that one.. ;)

  It's not working great. You're in the 32 bit version of IE 7. Simply, go to top toolbar, select HELP, select ABOUT at bottom. If it does not say 64 Bit, then you are on 32. Succinctly put, as said above, ADOBE HAS NOT MADEA 64bit VERSION OF FLASH. IT WILL NOT RUN. As also stated above, Vista 64 ships with two versions of IE 7 just for this reason. Use the 32 bit version if you want to install Flash. They were supposed to have a fix already. The World is still waiting.

  This postng is quite old but mine IE shows as 256 bit (IE 8) I am currently trying to find out what vista is on my computer but they are all the same right? are they all 64 bit? Anyway, I have flash as long as I turn off UAC but as soon as I turn it back on, I no longer have it again and I do not like to have the UAC off! Therefore, I have a fix to my problem but I'm not too happy with it. I have tried all the troubleshooting at Adobe and nothing works for me, I remember this happening once before but I forget how I fixed it. I think it was the file that you downloaded to your desktop and installed from there - it updated (or something) to your registry for Adobe. But that didnt work this time (sorry in a hurry or I'd look up this file name but I'm sure some of you know what I am talking about). I have not read all these posting but I will soon. I was posting this to see if there are anymore suggestions. But I guess I'm a little uninformed since I'm in a hurry, there might just be a solution on this posting somewhere lol.

  Adobe does NOT MAKE a 64bit Version of FLASH. Use your 32 Bit version of IE 7, shipped with every Vista 64 machine. Anyone with Vista 64 that claims they are running flash, is using it via the 32 bit browser, which DOES work fine in Vista 64.

  Like 2 of the comments here, I followed instructions but could not get this to work. Turning off User Account Control (UAC) then following the instructions worked. Turn off UAC by clicking Start button > Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off, which causes a reboot. I turned the feature back on after succesfully installing the Flash player.

  If you did things the way you described you need to reverse the order. You need to turn UAC off then follow the instructions and it should work. It did for me. Since UAC should already be turned off on your computer you should just need to run the flash install again.

  I have tried running the set up from above but it didn't change and I switched off the UAC account as suggested later on in comments but again I have no success after d/l and restarting
  
  any further suggestions please? I know that it can be seen as aminor issue as I can get i tto work in IE but it really irritates me
  
  I use AVG as a virus protector can this have any bearings at all?

  I tried this and it didn't work for me. What did is:
  
  Go to tools, internet options - towards the bottom of the page on the left side is a box that is checked next to "enable protect mode", uncheck and hit apply.
  
  Then I did exactly as discussed above - but instead of DOUBLE CLICKING FlashUtil9b I downloaded Flashutil10a. ran it as administrator. Then I turned back on my security on internet explorer - restarted my computer and got it to WORK FINALLY. You have to download the latest version This is very Important.

AND I can't even get to the point where the Adobe Flash Player gets downloaded. When i hit install, the box disappears and nothing has happened. I am SO frustrated. I tried thhis with the UAC controls off ( with a restart of my computer) and nothing happened then either.l I can't seem to get ANYWHERE. Can someone help? Is there an ALTERNATE program that will do what Flash and Shockwave can do that will work on my system? THANKS FOR ANY INSTRUCTIONS AND ANSWERS!!

  Flash will NOT WORK IN VISTA 64 as Adobe has not made a versions of Flash to run on 64bit systems. There IS no fix as of 1/29/09. Vista 64 ships with TWO versions of IE 7, one 64Bit, one 32 Bit. The 64 Bit version is identified. If still undersure what version you have, simply go to toolbar, select HELP, select ABOUT. It will say it's 64Bit if it is.
  
  To view FLASH on IE, use the 32 bit version. Again, even if you are getting FLASH to work on your Vista 64 machine, it is only because you are using the 32 bit browser. IF you go to Adobe's site, they will admit this same issue.

  I believe the Vista 64 bit solution will only play Flash in the 32 bit version of IE. There are two version of IE on Vista 64, just as there are 32 bit/64 bit Photoshop apps. There is still no 64 bit Flash player for Windows so you can only see Flash on the 32 bit version of IE.
  
  For the Flash IDE, Firefox, Snag-it and many other programs I use on Vista 64 a
  necessary evil tweak in my experience is to force programs to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode. Aero sucks hard and is responsible for many visual bugs. Go to flash.exe icon or firefox.exe, right-click, properties, compatibility, then check the box that says "run compatibility with" and in the drop-down choose XP SP2. You'll be glad you did. NOTE doing this will negate and turn off Aero but at least you can see your mouse and programs will work like they should.

  If shamanstears way doesn't work try this.
  
  1. Uninstall your current flash player
  
  2. Open Computer.
  
  3. C:\Windows\System32\.
  
  3. Double click on the Macromed Folder
  
  4. Open the Flash folder and click the uninstall app.
  
  5. After Flash is removed goto http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?... and download...Flash Player 10 (debugger versions)
  
  6. After it's downloaded open it with winrar.
  
  7. Double click the folder - fp10_debug_archive
  
  8. Double click the folder - 10r12_36
  
  9. Double click the 5th file down called flashplayer10r12_36_win_debug.exe
  
  10. Let it install and everything should work.

  Here is somethng that worked for me. I have IE7 on 32-bit Vista. After trying everything that I found on the internet I went into Tools->Manage Add-Ons->Enable or Disable Add-ons and enabled Shockwave Flash Object and it worked. You have to be on a page that has a flash object, i.e. the page that is giving you the message to install Flash Player. Hope it works for others.

  For those struggling with this issue I tried everything suggested here and nothing was working. When I tried Sanjoy's suggeston of...Tools->Manage Add-Ons->Enable or Disable Add-ons and enabled Shockwave Flash Object...it worked immediately without restarting...sheesh i really hate vista but thanks to Sanjoy i can now view Utube and fancast. i could then couldn't but this seems to work.
  Thanks Sanjoy and all.

  This didn't work for me. I know you can run the Flash Player in a 32 bit browser but when I click Start and go to All Programs, it doesn't display the 32 bit or even the 64 bit. I never deleted the browser or anything. I don't know what happened and I even tried the advanced search on my computer. Nothing. It's so frustrating!!!

  Please help me... I can not download the flash player to my computer. I follow the above instructions, but when I get into the Macromed directory, there is no Flash directory so I can't go any farther. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  I wish you could help with the HP support desk. They don't understand a thing I write... they only know how to cut and paste things as "solutions" that don't work.

  Amazing. I just googled for such a solution and here it is. Where as when I attempt the HP or microsoft websites for such a solution, they beat around the bush (like all the time). Thanks.
