Hello Folks,
For anyone who has tried to download Adobe Flash Player 10 in Windows 7, and
running IE8 64-bit, there is a remedy to the solution until Microsoft and
Adobe get their act together. Adobe says they are working with Microsoft on
finalizing a 64-bit Flash Player app, but in the meantime, just download
Mozilla Firefox and Flash Player10, run it through Firefox, and it will work
just fine. Hope this helps.

Adobe Flash 10 works fine in the 32-bit version of IE. FireFox is also a
32-bit. browser, which is why Flash works.
