Can't delete previous Adobe Flash Player

Running on Windows XP and IE7.
I tried to update to Flash Player 9; I used the latest
version of uninstall, which deleted a couple of executable files
and claimed to delete flash8a.ocx on reboot; after rebooting it was
still there. I tried manual deletion of the file, which said I
didn't have the authority. I'm the administrator on the computer! I
tried installing the Flash Player 9 and it just sits there, never
installing. I've tried checking for other flash files and found a
few and deleted them, but the flash8a.ocx won't delete, and
renaming it doesn't allow installation of the Flash Player 9
either. Neither does running the SubInACL program (which does run,
showing that I have administrative priveleges). Anybody know how to
get rid of this file?

If ‘Flash8a.ocx’ is on your system it may prevent
you from installing a later version. Please follow these
instructions to resolve this issue.
Please download the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility from this technote:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301
This will install a program called “MsiZap.exe”
here C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up. After
installation, copy the files including MsiZap.exe to my C:\ drive
and use the following scripts in the command line.
Select Start > Run and type in "cmd"
Type in the following to target the "flash8a.ocx" GUID with
the MsiZap
C:\MsiZap.exe T {5E8A1B08-0FBD-4543-9646-F2C2D0D05750}
I understand that this may be complicated, so if you want
help, let us know.

Hi Vickie,
As Kirsti mentioned, getting your OS and any error message will be helpful. In addition you might want to review this help document which covers the common installation errors:

There is no Flash Player for iOS.
Why did you post this in the forum for Adobe Reader?

Why can't I add adobe flash player to my iPad?

Why can't I download adobe flash player to my iPad?

Because Adobe has never made a version of Flahs that can run on an iOS device like an iPad.
You can try out a Flash supporting Browser like Photon or Puffin and see if you can view whatever you are trying to view through there.

The download does not install Flash. You should find the downloaded file in your Downloads folder. Double-click on the .dmg file then double-click on the installer icon once the disc image has been mounted.

I can't get my Adobe flash player 11.1.0 or greater on my PC

I can't get my Adobe flash player 11.1.0 or greater on my PC

On this topic : sound is garbled and sped up on Ustream videos in Chrome, IE, and Firefox. I tried to uninstall Version 17 and install the Beta but that didn't work. The uninstall left me with no flash for Firefox. I tried to download and install the recommended version that didn't work either.
Some people are saying they can eliminate the garble by reducing the resolution to 460? I don't know where and how to do this. There doesn't seem to be any way to manage the Flash Player resolution size window.
However, earlier I was able to view a clear stream with Ustream on a different computer-so I am afraid all this fussing has introduced a corruption onto my computer.
Any help would be appreciated: i.e how to remove any errors I introduced and start over clean.
Thanks

Why can I not install Adobe Flash Player on my computer ?

I am not able to install Adobe Flash Player on my computer. I have uninstalled a previous version. The new version says the installation was successful, but there is no installation.

Hi, I don't know. It is not too helpful to only know that you have a computer.

Why can't I use adobe flash player to watch Utube vedios?

Every time I try to download a vedio I get a message saying apple will not permit adobe flash player. what alternative do I have to allow me to watch or access Utube vedios?

You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Why can't I install Adobe Flash player? Everything was fine until your latest version about 2 weeks ago. I'm missing out on a lot of stuff. Thanks for your help.

Ever since I upgraded firefox about 2 weeks ago I no longer have Adobe Flash so a lot of my e-mails won't even open up. I can't get anything from YouTube. When I try to install Adobe Flash Player I get a message that says since I have Mozilla I can't get it. Is there a work around?
Thanks

You have Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 installed for Firefox, in addition to Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153. You need to get rid of that old version which is overriding Firefox from using the later version.
See if you can remove that old version from the Control Panel > Add /Remove Programs. If it isn't listed there, remove the NPSWF32.dll file for that version from the \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\ folder - (right-click that file and open Properties and then view the Version tab to verify it is that old version of Flash, if you have more than one of those files in that folder.)

Why can't I download adobe flash player

I have an IPad 2 and an iMac PC. Apparently I can't watch a lot of sites because apple don't support adobe flash player. What is the alternative. I can't believe a company as big as apple haven't got a solution.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Can't download free Adobe Flash Player - Help

I tried to download free Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Reader (is the same) and appears in the screen the following message:
"GetPlus+(R) The specified software requires a recent version of windows" and I can't proceed with instalation. I have already done a virus verification with Kasperky and it's OK. I have Windows XP (SP3) and Internet Explorer 7.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, Don't use that DLM(download manager) since it can cause a problem.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable any Realtime Anti-Virus until you have finished Uninstalling and Installing Flash Player
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check to make sure the Anti-Virus is still Disabled
Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
Re-enable your Anti-Virus
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.

Why can't I download Adobe Flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite?..

I have not been able to download Adobe flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite on my 13 in MacBook Pro purchased in Early 2011 Processor 2.3 GHz i5 Please Help!!

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
