Attempting to uninstall older version of Adobe flashplayer:

I am prompted to close an application (Live Messenger), but it IS closed. I cannot proce
ed to uninstall until the conflicting application is closed and there is nothing else I can do
. Has anyone else had this happen and how were you able to correct it? THANKS

thanks very much. I was wondering about uninstalling it, but then I would have to uninstall ALL of the 'windows live'
stuff...and I didn't know if that would make some of my software inoperable...yes I may be brain
dead or maybe just burnt OUT! thanks for your help--Ill try it (looking for task manager....)

Is it safe to uninstall older versions of Adobe Acrobat?

It is safe to remove older versions of Adobe Acrobat? I currently have:
Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
The reason I ask is I keep getting Update Adobe Acrobat X and it error's off. So, is it safe to remove 8 and X?
Thanks!

yes, each installation is independent of the others. in addition, there are known issues when trying to use some of the older acrobat versions together like you're doing.

That should happen automatically when you install a newer version.

Deleting/Uninstalling Older Versions of Adobe Photoshop/Reader

I would love to know the answer to this question:
After Adobe updates my current versions of Adobe Photoshop Starter, and my Adobe Reader, can I go to add/remove, or search files, and uninstall or delete everything that has to do with the older versions that I no longer use?
Recently my Adobe Reader updated to version 7. My computer came with Adobe Reader 4.0. So, that means I have versions 4, 5, and 6 (Adobe Reader), in my system, on my hard drive, and in add/remove programs.
Also, just yesterday, my Adobe Photoshop starter edition offered me an upgrade from version 2, to version 3. In this case, although the icon for version 2 remained on my desktop, a new icon for version 3 was created, and when I try to open the v. 2, windows cannot locate it..meaning of course it has been superceded by version 3.
So the simple question is this....do these Adobe versions share drivers? Can I uninstall or delete from add/remove programs, anything that has to do with the older versions of either of these programs? Especially the Adobe Reader stuff. I have an Icon on my desktop for each of these older versions, and if I open those icons its the older version that actually come up.
So, any advice? Leave well enough alone? Remove the older verisons to take back some of my hard drive space?
Help!
Thanks,
Russell Munson

thanks jim.
i appreciate the direct answer to my question.
my adobe reader update came directly from the older version of the adobe
reader.
in other words, i opened adobe 6.0 one day, and it either told me
automatically or i checked for a newer update, and it updated to 7.0.
but, when this update occured, it removed, or automtically uninstalled the
6.0 version from my add remove files.
and yet, the 5.0 and the 4.0 version are still in there.
so lets say i go ahead and uninstall both of those two older versions from
my add remove programs and leave the 7.0 version in there. and then i
have trouble with the newest version.
where would i go to re-download the 7.0 adobe reader? adobe.com i assume?
i appreciate your help my freind.
thank you

Uninstall older versions of Flash Player?

I just installed the latest update for Flash Player...can I now uninstall older versions?

Yes, you can.
It is best to use the uninstaller from Adobe. It is on this page:
http://http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Follow the instructions.
Because I am having problems with getting Flash Player that works on my pc, I have saved the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller to my desktop. It is helpful not having to go back to the Adobe page to get it when I need it.
After uninstalling old versions of Flash Player, remember to check that the new version you keep is installed correcly and working properly, go to the Adobe "Find Version" page and follow the instructions there.
Here:

Hope this helps.

I downloaded reader 11.3, do i need to uninstall older versions ?

i downloaded reader 11.3 ,do i need to uninstall older versions ?

If you have Reader 10.x or 11.x installed, there is no need to uninstall. Older, or much older versions should be uninstalled before installing a much newer version.

Uninstalling older versions of reader

When installing the latest version of Adobe Reader is it best to uninstall the older versions? Or does the most recent version overwrite the older versions?

Adobe Reader usually updates fine from one version to the subsequent next (e.g. from 9 to 10).
However, this does not always work well when skipping some versions (e.g. from 7 to 10). In this case I always recommend to uninstall the previous version first.

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE
