Thanks for this tip; it didn't work exactly this way for me (when I searched from the Start menu I only got the 64-bit and "No Add-Ons" versions), but it gave me a nudge in the right direction.
What I ended up having to do was search instead for "iexplore.exe". This lead me to the two different versions: one in "Program Files" (the 64-bit IE8) and one in "Program Files (x86)". The latter is the 32-bit version so I right-clicked that file and did a "Pin to taskbar". That gave me my shortcut. Then, in order to get Windows to treat the 32-bit version as my default web browser I opened Firefox, made it the default browser, then closed it, clicked again on my 32-bit IE8 shortcut, and made it the default browser. Now I have Flash and everything is groovy once more!
I can't believe Adobe hasn't got Flash working for 64-bit yet. I mean, how many people use YouTube?!?

Guys, like somebody said previously, you should have 2 or even 3 different versions of internet explorer installed onto your windows 7.
Goto your bottom right hand corner and click start, then search for 'internet explorer'.
I have 3 options that come up:
Internet explorer
Internet explorer (64bit)
Internet explorer (No Add-Ons)
The first internet explorer is the 32bit version.
Now just drag that icon onto your shortcuts and you can now choose to run 32bit, 64bit or no add-ons version of internet explorer.
Hope this helps.
Let me know as I spent a while seaching around to find a solution but managed to work it out with a little help.

I have been searching around for a solution to using flash player for viewing online TV since I bought a new HP laptop four or five weeks ago. This is the only solution I have really understood and been able to implement. Took five seconds. Pinned it to the taskbar so I've got both versions ready to use. Brilliant. Many thanks.
The fact that this worked for you puzzles me. I tried ladyjay3024's suggestion: downloaded and installed the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft's site. I restarted Windows just to make sure, but still, when I run the 64-bit version of IE and go to (say) YouTube, no dice. Blank video window with little "Please upgrade Flash..." message, as before.
One thing that was nice to see is that Adobe has finally at least posted a bulletin about their lack of native 64-bit support for Flash Player. The Flash download site redirects you to the bulletin if you navigate there via IE-64-bit. (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html) Thoughtful of them! 😉
