I had already posted this issue on my blog beforehand. Now that Windows 7 has been released, there is a growing demand to have a 64bit Flash player. (Actually, as I have scanned the web and in the Adobe bug database, it was requested since 2001 for 64bit Windows XP.) I suspect that there has been a big push for Flash player development across the mobile community and feature development for Flash 10.1.
The only suggestion that I can make is for our developer and user community who love flash to demand for a 64 bit Flash player on the bug database. (http://bugs.adobe.com) So sign up, and make your voices heard! Adobe does listen, its looks like a matter of priority and demand.

I have a new 64bit Gateway NV58 series laptop and of course cannot run any flash videos but all you need to do is run the 32bit Internet Explorer. It’s included in Windows 7 that I’m runnning, in this folder….
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”
Not sure if its also in Vista or XP.
I just put a shortcut on my desktop and rename it to put 32bit in front and have not had any further trouble, flash videos play ok now.
