thanks for the replies to my part of follow up question regarding only one windows installer link.
so if the installer contains the 32 bit and 64 bit in the same package, does it give me both? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS

Yes it does.  To test this, launch the 64 bit and go to the flash tester page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/.

I know how to enable / disable the Flash Player via Manage Add-ons. Does anyone know if one can have the flash player enabled for specific websites but not for all?

I am being plagued by Flash advertising on some websites which I could prevent by disabling the Flash Player in the IE Tools but then I found I got a message here in Norton that I had to have it to upload images ....... Can't imagine why but that's the popup I got!

I might beable to do it with my adblocker -- IE7Pro -- but that's a bit more complicated if there should be an easier way.

TIA

Hi Hugh,

Not sure with Internet Explorer,  other than using ActiveX Filtering (IE9 only),  but Chrome and Firefox have an extension called Adblock Plus.  It is excellent for removing annoying adds.

You can do this via Manage add-ons. Under IE9:

1. Open Manage add-ons.
2. Select Shockwave Flash Object and click the 'More information' link in the bottom left-hand corner of the dialog box.
3. In the 'More Information' window, click the 'Remove all sites' button and close the window.

You'll now be asked if you want to allow Flash to run on each site containing Flash content that you visit.

The ActiveX Filtering option that Krusty13 suggested is the less intrusive option. This assumes that you don't want Flash to run unless you specifically allow it by clicking on the content filter icon in the Address bar (blue circle with a line through it). You'll need to allow this on search sites like Google, otherwise you won't see the Site Safety icons.

Thanks both -- you give me something to play with. I dohave an adblocker that I find does most of what I need but hadn't found how to tune it for flash on a particular site.

Unfortunately, it did not fix the Flash crash for me. I've also seen posts elsewhere that others are still experiencing this crash in 13.0.1.

Hi killyourtv same thing here it was still crashing so I looked at the mozila support forum and found this suggestion to uncheck hardware acceration in the flash player. to do this play a flash vidieo  right click select from the dropdown settings uncheck hardware acceleration
