Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Issue


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.

Reason


Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1. 

Note: To participate in pre-release testing of 64-bit Flash Players see Adobe Labs

Solution


To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, you must run a 32-bit browser.  For details on setting this up for Windows see Microsoft Help & Support. 

For details on using Flash Player on Mac OS X 10.6 on 64-bit machines, see:
Flash Player 10 and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
