Errors with flashplayer 9

Question

My computer said I needed to install flashplayer 9 so i did
that and automatically i couldn't see any kind of pictures or
videos. I figured a problem must have occured so i tried
uninstalling it and it wouldn't uninstall. I had to come to this
website to get this uninstallation download to remove it from my
add/ remove programs list. It worked, but I tried reinstalling
adobe flashplayer 9 again and I'm still having the same exact
problems. Has anyone else encountered these problems? And if so
what am I supposed to do about it? I can't even surf the web
properly now.

Come on Adobe, get this fixed! Provide a troubleshooter for people
so
