Can I uninstall Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?

I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to Adobe Flash Player 11 but when I look in the Programs and Features, I see:
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin
The Flash Player 10 Active X is an old version that was installed 2 years ago. Should I just uninstall that Active X? Or, keep it?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X - This is the Active X Control for Flash Player 10 (Flash Player for Internet Explorer)
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin - This the plugin for Flash Player 11 (Flash Player for other browser, like : Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome)
If you do not need Flash Player for Internet Explorer, then you can uninstall Flash Player 10 Active X.
Thanks,
Vikram

    Where can I download adobe flash player activex?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    All the versions of Adobe Flash Player are available here : Archived Flash Player
    You will get a .zip file, extract and then run the .dmg file
    Note : You might need to use Flash Player uninstaller to remove the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
    Thanks,

  • How can I uninstall adobe flash player?

    I was required to install it when I was going to upload something on metacafe but now that I have I can't do a lot of other flash things because of it and there is like no way to get rid of it, so how can I get rid of it because the other sites I use are really important to me and now I can't use them.

    You have to uninstall FlashPlayer to update it from a download rather than using the auto-updater.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Adobe Flash Player ActiveX deployment doesn´t work in SCCM 2012 R2

    I´ve created an Application to deploy Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.189 (last version). I´ve tried to deploy with the msi downloaded from Adobe site, using Powershell App Deploy Toolkit, bat script.. but nothing seems to work 100%.
    I have 2500 computers in my company. Working with SCCM 2012 R2.
    Some computers doesn´t install;
    Some install it but Internet Explorer seems to loose this configuration and doesn´t open flash videos;
    Some install but doesn´t uinstall the last version, then you can see two diferent versions installed;
    Do you have a definitive solution to deploy Adobe Flash Player via SCCM?

  • Can't install Adobe Flash Player 11

    Hi guys.
    I have a big problem, the flash player simply dosen't want to install, it simply dissapears, i gonna type the exact steps i took for this to happen.
    Open mozilla firefox-Go to adobe site-find flash player-click on Download now- it takes me to download page all thing normal it pops up for download, after i download it i click on open containing folder and it takes me to the program, i right click then i click on Run As Administrator, HERE is the problem, after i click on OK (after it asks me for permission) Adobe Flash Player simply dissapears and no installer appears, however it does appear on the process list (using like 10k memory) and i must close it using end process since it only stays there doing absolutely nothing. Any help please?
    Additional Info: OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
                             CPU: Core i5 760 @ 4GHz
                             RAM: 4GB at 1200Mhz (1333MHz normal)
                             PSU: 750W power-supply.

    The installer from Josh's post worked. As the content list is very long I will post one of the failed installs, tell me if I must post the entire content.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

  • Can't retain Adobe Flash Player

    I updated my Flash Player to the latest version on Firefox yesterday, but for some reason I reverted back to the previous version so I can't watch videos etc. In response, I reinstalled Adobe Flash following the steps provided. I cannot view the Flash animation on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    It seems whenever I restart my computer, Adobe Flash reverts. After reinstallation, it works perfectly until I restart my computer =/
    I'm using Firefox 8.0, Windows XP 32 bit.
    In C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, there is:

  • Browser out of date and can't install Adobe Flash Player

    My browser is out of date according to everything I am visiting.  I can't post pictures on twitter, some of the videos I watch have blocked plug-ins, and I can't install adobe flash player.  My computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.4, and I would like to keep Safari.  Can someone direct me to where I get the newest version of Safari and why I cannot install Adobe Flash Player.  I have installed, uninstalled, and done everything I know to do to get this problem resolved.  Next step is take it to the Apple store as I am not a tech person.  Thanks for any assistance.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Upgrade further:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • How can I retrieve adobe flash player 11.2?

    I just downloaded adobe flash player 11.3 and I'm using firefox but none of the video resources work  . The area where the video is supposed to be running is just black. I tried to uninstall adobe flash player 11.3 and download version 11.2 again but it doesn't allow me to. It sais that there is a newer version available so I can't download the older one!

    Pat and everybody
    I've been able to get the recommended latest security fix for 11.2  (11.2.202.235) here:  (this is for NON-IE browsers, in that site has the copy for IE also)
         http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php?old_flash_player=7628?download
    It works well here.
    ps:
    Pat,  How about Adobe re-releasing this (or another convenient/working) version as the *current latest version* for all firefox/other_plugin_browser users for the time being?  I think this very ugly crashing problem affects so many users. I coudn't believe it was an Adobe problem! , It gaves me crashes even with (latest) Nvidia *kernel driver* (win7-64)

    can i update adobe flash player on apple power book g4 running osx10.4.11. I have tried official website. Useless. Please do not say time to get a new computer.

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

    How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.

    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.
