Win7 is buggy.. I frequently have the same problem where I can not use anything that used flash, and am prompted to update flash. I can re-install it 100 times and it just doesn't work. Go on google and download the program by Adobe that completely removes flash. After that re-install flash (make sure that all programs that use flash or java are closed) then restart your computer. It takes some messing around with.. I'de say this is one of the most severe bugs for Win7 64x due to flash not being meant for 64x systems.
