Cannot un-install Adobe Flash player.

I apologize if this has been addressed before but for the life of me I cannot un-install the flash player.
The reason for the un-installation is because the flash player stopped was not working a few weeks back. After numerous internet searches most advice was to un-install flash then re-install. (easier said than done)
For reference: Win XP Pro SP3, using Chrome and FF as browsers.
I downloaded Adobe's flash uninstaller and have run it several times back to back (shutting down and re-starting) with absolutely nothing else running.
My next step is to go to Adobe's web page to verify if Flash is installed and it always comes up with the latest version (10,1,103,20)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the info. You don't have Flash Player Installed for FF or IE. Chrome is ok, nothing is needed for you to do with it.
Go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Use IE and right click on the one for Windows, Internet Exlorer and RIGHT click on Download EXE Installer, click on Open in New Window and click SAVE and save it to your Desktop.
Then right click on the one for Windows, plugin based browsers and RIGHT click on Download EXE Installer and do the same thing.
Now you have the Flash Player Installer for IE and FF on your Desktop.
At this time, Close all browser windows. Look in your system tray(area near the clock) and if you have any messenger services, such as MSN, Yahoo, etc, then Disable them.
Make sure you use the Administrator Account for Installing Flash Player.
Run the Installer for IE, when it is finished, the Run the Installer for FF. When finished, Reboot(restart) your Computer.
Now go back to the Flash folder and post back all files for IE and FF(NPSWF) Follow my instructions for obtaining this info in my previous post.
Then check for the addons for IE & FF (per previous post)
You may want to print out any instructions to make it easier to follow.
If you have any questions, let me know. I will be on and off the forum today doing Christmas things:-)
Thanks,

Cannot re install adobe reader after Anna update !

Hi there, i know there has been some chat about losing Quick office and Adobe reader after Anna update on N8s on this site, I also lost office and Adobe after the update ! I needed to get office asap so i went to the quick office website and paid for it, that works fine but it seems adobe will not install even directly from quick office ! The support from QO has been great but i still cant re install adobe !! They have finally suggested that i re install Anna and than try again ! Does anyone have any other ideas !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@beefy122
I have the same problem but I am not prepared to pay for Quick Office or pdf reader because the full versions came as standard with my N8.
It appears that the Anna upgrade comes in 3 parts:
The main Anna file, Additional file 1/2 and finally additional file 2/2.
I installed the Anna upgrade then 24 hours later I was offered (both via Ovi Suite on my PC) the 2/2 additional file.
However, Quick Office and pdf reader are apparently included in 1/2, which has not yet been offered to me, presumably because my phone has not recognised that it has not been installed.
I am on Orange Uk and I wonder if Orange have not yet fully tested the updates and therefore that is why the full suite is not available to me. I may be wrong of course.
At one point on one of the other threads, someone had posted a link to the updates required for both 1/2 and 2/2 but these links disappeared from the posting quite quickly.
Which updates have you loaded?
I have re-installed Anna 3 times and it has never offered me the 1/2 update that I require.
I would also appreciate other ideas but they have not been forthcoming yet despite many postings in quite a few threads (other than suggestions to reset the phone etc, that I am not prepared to do)

Help - I cannot de-instal Adobe 8 from my computer - but I also cannot print anything today -

I am a not very experienced home computer user. I only ever instal updates to Adobe reader when told to. Today I am getting messages saying Adobe cannot be opened - and I cannot now print my gas bill ! I have tried to de-instal from control panel on my computer and the following message comes up:
I am getting messages saying there is a problem with Adobe and I cannot then print the item I want. I have tried to de-instal the product in order to re-instal and I get a message saying '/This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you cannot access it, or contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'.
I have no idea what this means !
I have tried to search the Adobe site for over an hour to find advice - we are using Windows XP and the free
version of Adobe - updating when told to.
Please advise with simple explanations for rectifying this problem. Thanks

Maybe its not compatible with with your program as its not compatible with Vista,,,,,,,
I have run the cleaner hoping it helps delete my Photoshop CS6 from my laptop....
The problem I encountered turned out to be because I have Vista on my laptop with 4 mbs memory.
Nowhere does it say you cannot use photoshop with Vista...and that 8 mbs of memory is required.
I have encountered numerous problems and now cannot restore my computer or uninstall Photoshop.
Its one huge mess
I have purchased a new computer with windows 7 and am having it set up by a technician right now but I still want this computer working too...
I still cannot delete Photoshop though I have tried and tried...and I cannot afford to pay him more to fix this computer up too...so I have to do it alone
The latest programs require 8 mbs of memory and Windows 7

Cannot re-install Adobe Photoshop Elements (no number) on CD.

I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements (no number) on CD. I have had it installed on my PC w/ Windows 7. I had an event that caused me to need to reload. When I insert CD, autostart runs but as soon as I tell it to install Elements, after about 10 seconds, it stops...I have tried suggested fixes (different user, install from harddrive, remove temp files - no help!)

download the installation file,

I cannot re-install Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I have faced a problem and then uninstalled the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Then I tried to re-install it but the Adobe Download Manager always showing the program is 'up to date', there's no 'Install' button as before, so I didn't know how to re-install it. I am a member of Creative Cloud and I have not the original software in my computer. I pay monthly fee. How to solve the problem?

I am having the same issue.I can't get these solutions to work. (I didn't even know what a "caps" folder was so I didn't attempt that.) Did anything work for you?
Suddenly Acrobat Pro declared itself a "trial version." I saw there were two Acrobat shortcuts on my (Windows) start menu. I deleted Acrobat entirely and tried to reinstall. I believe I was "within the CCloud" as I started at creative.adobe.com. Then went to Acrobat, clicked download. It took me to the list of apps on my computer. It proudly said "up-to-date." However, it no longer exists on my machine. ##$2?? ( don't even have Acrobat Reader loaded.)
The sign in screen takes 5 minutes to sign-in. The support option I thought might help said it was down. This is creative alright, but not in a good way.
Have you rebooted? I haven't tried that yet. Does Adobe even have phone support? The website is so determined to sell me stuff, it is hard to actually find that kind of information. I would think if it were available for a fee, I'd have been redirected there by now.

Cannot Successfully install Adobe Flash Player

I have tried about 8 times to download Adobe Flash Player, following each of the steps required. I get the "complete" message, but websites I then try to open tell me that to view I have to download Adobe Flash Player. I evenn have in a folder the adobe flash player.exe, from which I've installed several times. Several times I've rebooted my computer before trying to open the desired site. That has not helped. How do I get Flash Player successfully installed and in operation?

Hi, I probably should have told you the reason that swflash.ocx needed removed is because it was very old. Ok, now we have the Flash files for IE correct and the Shockwave Flash Object. Oh, just some info: IE8 has various categories for listing add ons and it makes it difficult to find. When you see "currently loaded" or "have been used", etc. that is confusing. I use XP/SP3/IE6 and found out long long ago, what matters is whether the add on is Enabled or Disabled no matter where it is listed or under what category.
Now, back to the issue. Trying to determine when this audio issue appeared. Did you Install any new software, Uninstall any that you can remember? Try any trial versions of any? A new Toolbar perhaps? If you can think of any, let me know.
Now that we know your Flash files are correct and the add on is also, then something is conflicting. I have a couple of links and info on audio issues and will review them.
We may need to take a look at your add ons in IE, but usually those conflict directly with Flash Player.
Trying to pinpoint when the audio acted up will help.
Let me know and I'll see what I have on my Desktop.
Thanks,

P.S. What about Trend Micro? Is that new? What Anti-Virus did you have before Trend Micro? Do you have a version number? Something to consider.

Cannot Download/Install Adobe Editions 1.7.2

I cannot download Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2.
I'm currently running CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.7.2 - The Digital Editions download page tells me "Sorry, but your system does not meet the minimum system requirements".
Has this app not been updated to work with 10.7.2?
And, if not, will it be updated?

Alex, I thought about what you said again. I think you may be on the edge
of discussing digital rights content management, which is different from
Flash. Let me take a moment to talk about that.
Adobe Content Server 5 or above has been adopted as one of the industry
standard protocols for publishers, distributors and authors to use to
implement digital rights. Although it's embedded in ADE, it's also
embedded in other epublication management software, such as Overdrive,
Calibre and Bluefire reader. If some of the ebooks you're working with
have digital rights protection, it's because the publisher or distributor
specified whether you're allowed to copy or print the epublication you're
working with. Amazon and Apple have chosen to use a different method to
activate digital rights protection in the epublications they distribute.
So, if you have an ebook with digital rights and you attempt to download it
from Apple onto a Mac, it will act differently than if you went to another
site (except Amazon) and tried to download it onto your Mac. In the first
instance, Apple will manage the process completely, interfacing with its
software on the Mac, and putting the ebook into an Apple library. In the
second instance, ADE will manage the process and put the ebook into its own
library.
Flash doesn't do any of this. If it's preventing you from going further,
it's managing application access, not application actions.
Does that make sense in explaining any of what's going on?

Cannot download/install adobe flash player

Having issues downloading the newest version of flash player, When visiting hulu I'm told to download the newest version. I visit the download page, even after verifiying I already have the newest version, I then attempted to uninstall and then reinstall but still not working. I've tried through both IE and Firefox, IE says it cannot be downloaded and Firefox downloads but wont install.
I''m not very comouter savvy so any help avasilable would be nice, in language I can understand:)
Thanks for your time.

Hi Ash. I would try first making sure that everything you have in the way of Flash player right this minute is totally uninstalled on your PC, that is if you are using a PC. Go to control panel uninstall programs find that thing & zap it. Also if you are using Internet explorer & Firefox then you may have a problem with Firefox trying to but in with the download. For some reason Firefox doesn't always play nice with certain downloads like printer drivers, software updates & things like that. Not sure why. I suggest you uninstall Firefox as well, before you download Flash . You can always re-install it if you like it. I love Google Chrome myself but go with what your comfortable with. Once you have these done go back to the download page & make sure your download is for the 64 bit version of Flash player. First things first get rid of the flash player you have on there now & dump Firefox. Go to control panel find these two & uninstall. Write me back if need to.

Adobe no longer supports Flash on Android. Adobe doesn't recommend this (this versions have vulnerabilities) but if you really want it, you can try installing an old version from their archives - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player%20archives (you'll have to scroll down to find the Android versions).

I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using?

I am trying to install a registered copy of Photoshop Lightroom that I never installed on my Apple iMac with software version 10.10.
I get the message “Adobe Lightroom 1. Cannot be installed on this disk because a newer version of this software already exists on this disk”
If it is here – I cannot find it anywhere, and I don’t believe that I ever installed it.
I have ordered the upgrade to Lightroom 5.0 and figured that I should install Lightroom 1.0 first.
How can I solve this problem

Actually when LR 5 starts for the first time after it is installed it will have a dialog to Buy, Try or Enter a serial number. You select Enter a serial number and enter the LR 5 serial number first and then because it is an upgrade serial number it will ask for the serial number of a Previous version. You then enter the LR 1 serial number.
