How to Get Adobe Flash working on 64-bit Browsers
OCModshop tackles to problem that Adobe does not deliver Flash players for 64-bit Windows Vista.
Quote: "Adobe must really want their users to start using Microsoft's new Silverlight technology (a rich media technology similar to Flash).

Trying to install Adobe onto Internet Explorer (32-bit or 64-bit) seems to work, but users are still met with the infamous "you need to install flash" message.
