    Adobe doesn't make a 64-bit version of flash; see this link:

    When you say it works, what is really happening is that you are running the 32-bit version of IE on your 64-bit machine, and that in turn is loading Flash, which is also 32-bit. The sidebar, which is a 64-bit app by default on a 64-bit machine, won't be able to load 32-bit Flash. I bet if you go in and run the 32-bit version of the sidebar (I believe its under 'Program Files (x86)') then it would be able to run Flash successfully.

    From what I've read on here, you can use flash in gadgets. However, Flash doesn't work on 64-bit versions of Vista, so it would have huge compatibility issues for a lot of users.
