You need 64 bit Flash. Try looking here:

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to see what you have, if

anything, installed.

There is no 64 bit Flash player at present. You can use Internet Explorer

32 bit with adobe flash player, however.

Did you use 64-bit IE or 32-bit IE? Use 32-bit IE and install Flash

Player 10.1 beta!

64 bit Windows 7 has both 64 bit and 32 bit Internet Explorer. The 32

bit version should be the one on the desktop. If not, both are on the

Start>Programs menu. Flash is only available for the 32 bit build.

No, Adobe dropped the ball by not keeping up with 64 bit. YOu can run 32

bit programs with old 32 bit flash. WIndows 7 64 bit has both 32 and 64

IE if you didn't notice.

Not at all. 32 bit is on its last gasp. Win7 may be the last 32 bit,

the new versions of server are only 64 bit. Even linux was 64 bit more

than a decade ago and while 32 bit is there, it is for old hardware.

64 bit. The way to go hands down. If you can't run it in Firefox or

get the plugin you probably don't want it or need it.
