Is flash player 11.3 compatible with Windows vista 64 bit?

I don't have major issues with the video and sound (the flash player used to crash frequently but that seems to have been resolved). But I can't adjust the volume with the volume control wheel when I watch videos on firefox. When I check volume mixer the flash player is tied to the speaker, not firefox.
The product description for flash player 11.3 seems to suggest that it will not support Windows Vista 64 bit. Should I revert back to an older version? What's the most straightforward way to do that? Is the Adobe team fairly close to finding a solution?
Much thanks to anyone who provide some answers for people who aren't computer savvy - like me.

Previously, with separate 32-bit and 64-bit installers, you could run the 64-bit installer on Vista, and it would work correctly.  However, it was not officially supported by Adobe.
Now with the 11.3 combined installers, I do not know what it installs on Vista.  I do not have Vista available, so I cannot test it.  Can you tell me what files you have in
C:\Windows\system32\macromed\flash ?
C:\Windows\syswow64\macromed\flash ?

  • Is Flash Player 11 just not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit?

    When I installed the latest version of Flash, I lost the ability to view You Tube videos for more than the first 3 or 4 seconds. Today I went to the adobe site thinking I needed a new flash player, and got this message:
    Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista. Flash Player 11 now includes support for Windows 7 64-bit.
    Seriously? So I have to scrap my computer or get Windows 7 in order to use Flash?
    I am not a techy, so I have resisted coming to the forums and getting a response I don't know what to do with. If you have an answer for this, I would really REALLY appreciate it if you can translate it into language for the lay person.
    It isn't just You Tube videos, either. So many news and other items are now done in video instead of an article, and I am finding that I am not able to get information I am looking for because of this.
    Please help!

    What this means is the following: the 64-bit version of Flash Player will install fine on Vista 64-bit, but Adobe will not provide support if it does not work as expected.
    In fact, Adobe will not provide any support for any Flash Player on any platform, except here in this forum.
    I suggest that you
    uninstall your current Flash Player using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    install the 64-bit Flash Player with the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
    Good luck!

  • Installing flash player on old sytem with window xp 32 bit

    Having trouble installing flash player. get to about 71% installled and then error out with failed to register.  Need help in find the correct soultion to fix the problem. I have tried about every solution that is recommended.  Had trouble the last time when tryinh to install verion #12.

    Hi Oldman7,
    Thanks for posting the new files.  Please try the recommendation in the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note, but use the reset_fp15.bat.zip file I posted previously, and take heed of the warning on the page, before proceeding.  You'll definitely want to back up your system, create a System Restore Point, and back-up the system registry (although this last item is not mentioned in the tech note).
    Essentially the 'failed to register' error is being returned due to 'access denied' permissions errors (for both you and Vinix Wu).  The permissions need to be repaired fro Flash Player to register.

  • Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

    Hello,
    I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
    The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
    I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
    I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
    I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try using the installers from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
    P.S. topic moved to the Installation section of the forum.

  • Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

    I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
    Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
    with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
    but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
    windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
    or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
    latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
    RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
    fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
    is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
    will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
    is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
    that it should be of high importance that these issues are
    resolved.
    Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
    and Vista?

    Hi cptv8
    I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
    findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
    early adopters.
    You stated:
    Technically vista is not due to domestic market until january
    07, however businesses will be able to purchase vista in only two
    weeks, and as Captivate is generally used for business/training use

    these issues are resolved.
    You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
    wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
    visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
    supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
    issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
    Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
    clicking
    here.
    Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
    it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
    tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
    making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
    gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
    aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
    can.
    Sincerely... Rick

  • Illustrator 10 compatible with Windows Vista?

    I'm looking to purchase Illustrator 10 (can't afford the $600 for CS3). Is it compatible with windows vista? I've been all over the Adobe website, but there is no information pertaining to any upgrades or FAQs on the subject.

    You'll be trying to run an old version of Illustrator (now at v.13) on an operating system with which it was never tested, so all bets are off.
    However, users have reported success with Illustrator versions going back as far as 8. After installation, you will most likely need to do the following:
    Right-click on the Illustrator EXE file, choose properites, click the compatibility tab, and then select...
    * Disable Visual Themes
    * Disable Desktop Composition
    * Disable display scaling on high DPI machines
    It's going to be difficult to purchase a legal copy of such an old version.
    Caveat emptor.
    Also make sure you update to 10.0.3.

  • WRT54GS Compatible with Windows Vista?

    Does anyone know if the WRT54GS Wireless Router is compatible with Windows Vista? I want to remove the router from a PC running XP and move to one using Vista. If it is compatible, I no longer have the start-up CD-ROM. Can the necessary drivers and firmware be found and downloaded from the Linksys site? Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Vista works with the WRT54GS.  You can simply remove the cable from your old computer and connect it to your new computer.  If your new computer has a wireless adaptor, you can also connect wirelessly.  You would have to log on to your router to find your network key.
