Hi!

You may want to install Adobe Flash plugin 11.4 in 32 bits and check if it works. The x64 versions are really outdated (11.3 or 11.2 which are somewhat buggy). So maybe Facebook checks the version of your x64 Flash plugin (don't accept any version below 11.4) and expects you have the "common vanilla" 32 bits version.

Ãdobe no longer ships separate x86 and x64 installers, they have been combined into a single installer, with two versions still available, ActiveX and plugin version.

Flash64 11.4 certainly exists and works perfectly well. The simplest thing to do with Flash problems is to uninstall it and re-install from the Macromedia site.

Cheers for replies ,i have run uninstaler for flash then reinstall ,using >11,4,402,265 latest version ,still no joy ,the problem has been happening since the last 'few' flash versions .

I think i've confused people by saying i use athlon 64 in same sentence as vista 32bit version , i have both versions the Active x and plug-in for IE8 and palemoon ,only thing i can think of now is uninstall both flash versions then install palemoon first then IE8 ,instead of other way round ,cheers for all reply's guys .

If no joy then i might just reformat p.c. as i usually hyave to do this about every 7-8 months to get max performance .

cheers for all your help guys ,will post back if i get a fix ,cheers again. :thumbup:
