Help! IE7 keeps crashing due to Flash Player

Question

I know! there are lots of forums on this subject, but I just need the straight answer! From Adobe I pray!
I've been googling and reading other forums as well trying to see if there is an answer to this problem but have yet to see anything that is a solution or makes sense.
My computer runs a problem report that tells us the solution is waiting for Adobe to create a flash player that is compatible with 64 bit OS and until then we are to use the 32 bit IE. But I am using that!
I have a HP Pavilion dv5 entertainment PC and it has Vista 64 bit OS on it. I use IE 7 and my adobe flash is version 10c.ocx.
I can see flash and play games (Farmville, Yoville, Cafe world) but not for long because my IE will crash and has to restart. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe flash plyer but it didn't help.
My question is to Adobe. Please answer me straight... is it really a compatibility issue with Vista 64 bit OS and Adobe Flash?  If this is the case, what do we do? Are you coming up with a solution? Are any of the other solutions out there (posted by say a google employee who states a download from some Japaneese site is the answer or the person who says its the start up applications that need deactivated).
I would really like some answers. Its very hard to use IE without flash.
Thank you

Answer 1

well, I am new at this... and realized that after I posted this. I will  look for a way to enter a support case... but yesterday I thought I tried that.
here is a copy of the problem history. And I took the computer to Best Buy last night and they reset IE and reinstalled flash (again), so we'll see if that works. If not, they suggested that I try a new browser. You mentioned that I should be able to use a 32 bit browser, I have always used the 32 bit IE.  This is frustrating, so any help/advise is appreciated. Thanks!
