I.E.7 requires constant installation of Adobe Flash

It is beyond me why this is happening but whenever
I access a website that requires Adobe Flash, the
webpage doesn't come up, but instead tells me that
I have to download and install Adobe Flash.

If I do, and later come back to that same website,
it happens again????

If I enter the URL in Firefox it automatically opens
showing the flash introduction.

I am using Windows Vista 64x but use the 32x
I.E. 7 ..

Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

Thanks..

What version of Flash Player is installed?

Does this happen at any website with Flash content or just some? If the
latter, which ones?

Dear Mr Dyer
I have the same problem and it happens at all sites. I have version 10a
installed but its vista ultimate 32 bit. I can't even update at the adobe
site as it tells me my platform is not supported.

Thanks
