INTERNET EXPLORER 8

I am running Vista SP2 64-bit with internet explorer 8. I have tried to
install adobe flash player 10 but it will not install as every time I try to
use a window that needs the flash player it states that I need to install an
update. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Adobe has not yet made a 64 bit version of Flash Player. Do you have IE8
32 bit & IE8 64 bit? You can download and run it in the 32 bit IE8.

Assuming you're using an IE8 32-bit window to access Flash content, start

You might try the manual Uninstall||Reinstall of Flash Player on your
machine.

Download the following two files and save them to your Desktop:
Flash Player Uninstaller
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...ash_player.exe
Flash Player Installer
http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie

1. Disconnect from the Internet and temporarily disable any Real-Time
Secruity Application(s) running in the background on your machine.
2. Run the Uninstaller file from the Desktop to completely remove the Flash
Player from your System.
3. Run the Installer file from the Desktop to reinstall the latest version
of the Flash Player.

If steps 1-3 above do not resolve your issue, then navigate to the following
folder:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash"

Rightclick on the following file and run it as Administrator:

"FlashUtil10d.exe"

Allow this utility to update the Flash Player(you must be online to complete
this operation).

Also note:

Adobe offers free email support(via a Web Case) for Flash Player
installation problems, you might turn there of the above

procedure(s) does not resolve your issue(s):

1. Go to the Adobe Support Portal:
http://www.adobe.com/go/supportportal/

"Create an Account"

You will taken to a page entitled:

It's a problem with Flash and 64-bit. Adobe Flash 10 does not install to a
64-bit environment.

Didn't you mean to say, It won't "Run" in a 64-bit Browser, but it "will
Install" in a 64-bit Enviornment.

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html

"Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser.
However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit
operating system."

Run or install? That's a good question, I suppose. My experience is that it
won't even install, therefore it does not run. Perhaps the issue isn't the
environment, per se, because it will install and run on Internet Explorer in
a 64-bit environment, that's running in 32-bit mode.

Sorry if my earlier explanation was not complete enough.
